Lyrics :
Rêves embrumés éphémères danses
Poussières de nuit voilées de silence
Dormir sur la Lune
Voleurs de vent  souffleurs de nuages
Flou d'amours denses à l'état sauvage
Dormir sur la Lune
Apprivoiser nos murmures
Abandonner nos armures 
Dormir sur la Lune
Caresser nos sensations
Effleurer nos émotions
Dormir sur la Lune
Nager sous l'eau delà des courants
Flotter de rives en rives en rêvant
Dormir sur la Lune 

Foggy dreams, ephemeral dances
Night dust veiled in silence
Sleeping on the moon
Cloud-blowing wind thieves
Blur of dense wild love
Sleeping on the Moon
Tame our whispers
Abandon our armor 
Sleeping on the Moon
Caressing our sensations
Touching our emotions
Sleeping on the Moon
Swim underwater beyond the currents
Floating from shore to shore dreaming
Sleeping on the Moon

Dormir sur la Lune   TRANSLATED

Poumon vert

An easy listening and uplifting electro-pop track.
I used for the first time the Logic Pro "Session Player" automated track on bass, piano and drums, that are following a specific chord progression. It may sounds like an easy job but I can tell you is not :-)
I hope you enjoy it and reach a nice ruby mood like the lady in the picture.
Thanks for listening

"KNOW YOUR FEAR"

The eye that sees everything beyond
Asks me hey dude why there is no bond
I answer with spirit its not how you die
But looking at creation its how you first cry

The truth is i see that through my eternal eye
But isn't it so sad that people do not fly
It makes me really wonder what happened to this world
That likes to live a being that is of soulless soul.

If sight is your spirit, thought is your feeling
End this fucking shit set a new beginning
Make time work for you to avoid those rotten eyes
By spirit body soul to kill what never dies.

Now that you are breathing the air of our infinity
Do not disrupt the messages to end this fake sincerity
Will start to live this trip again all beings together,
And maybe in our hearts we kill our sacred feather.

The one that makes you fly deep down the gap of soul
To bring out to the surface eruption to the whole
To set not a beginning or just another end
But starting to remember whats left to live ahead.

LYRICS BY Ragias Christos
Enjoy the fear!!

KNOW YOUR FEAR

Cast of characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), VST steel drums, vocals, lyrics, composition, production, mix     
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass

This song began with Mark, who fleshed out the entire thing, from the rhythm section, to the organ that you hear in there, to the lyrics and vocals, before he laid it on the rest of us. We all got a chuckle from the tongue in cheek humor of the lyrics, and were excited to work on a song about an anachronistic adventure of a soulful caveman. 
  Ken was first up with his version of the the beat, finding the soul in the rhythm. Josh was next up, of course, using his "normie" bass for the his version of the line. Once the rhythm section was in place, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, soulful e. piano to the mix. 
  Now that they had a solid foundation on which to play, Stephen and Tez added their guitar magic to the mix. Stephen with the rhythm and the fills, and Tez with the ripping solo at the end. Mark also added the festive VST steel drums that you hear throughout at this point, too. Now that the music was laid down, he perfected his awesome vocals to complete it.
  It was in the can at that point, and just needed Mark to throw a pro sounding mix on it. Then, Stephen mastered it in his always expert way to finish it off.
  Mark wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song (a la Al Green), which he did, all on his own. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song, both of which you can find on Mark's page. Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions. 
  This was a real team effort, even though it's really Mark's baby. The Eclectic Collective has many different methods of creating music. This one was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by mistermark:

Walking through this concrete jungle
I’m just trying to stay out of the way 
just me and ol’ Rex, my furry companion 
we been fielding funky looks all day
then somebody saw me kicking rocks with my bare toes
he said buddy have you lost your way?
then I sat right down and I started to cry
and this is what I had to say…

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say 

Sittin’ in my man cave watching the clock crawl
there's nothing good on my tv 
my big grubby hands can’t flip thru the channels
i cant even hold a cup of tea
I was chatting on the phone making plans with a lady
a little bit of company
but my date split QUICK when I opened the door
man I wonder what’s wrong with me

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break now
the ladies say I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

The big city’s fine but something’s on my mind
I feel a little incomplete
I miss my old club, for rustling up some grub
and the touch of grass below my feet
I’ve been around longer than all your creation, 
like the rocks and trees and streams
I wanna get back home, where forever I’ll roam
even if it’s only in my dreams

I’m a caveman
I can’t catch a break 
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

I’m a caveman, 
must be come kinda mistake
everybody says I’m so passé 
well I’m a - a caveman
It’s too much to take
but I’m gunna get back some day

This song began with Mark, who wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song, which he did, singing & playing all of the instrument parts on his own at first. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song - this one (the group remix), and the original Soul version (Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions).

Ken was first up with his vibrant interpretation of Mark's original drum track. Josh was next up, replacing Mark's bass line with a more upbeat bopping take. Once the rhythm section was in place, Stephen found the perfect guitar motif which served as both rhythm guitar, and the soulful lead that suited both versions of the song.

With a solid foundation on which to play, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, rhythmic and playful electric piano to the mix. Tez added his guitar magic, ripping solo parts in the instrumental sections, and at the end. It was at this point that the decision was made to go with two versions, so Ken added some rhythmic percussion to the mix, and Mark also tested out his newly acquired VST steel drums to emphasize the slight Caribbean vibe that was emerging. With Mark completing mixing duties on both versions, it was now time for Stephen to master it in his always expert way to finish it off.

This was a real team effort,  demonstrating The Eclectic Collective's many different methods of creating music. It was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Caveman (the Eclectic Collective mix)

Dear friends, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It can be noted that many people become extra kind and friendly during Christmas time, even if not everyone celebrates Christmas. Perhaps a ceasefire can be implemented in the Middle East - It has been talked about! Now, one can only hope that Mr. President Putin's heart will be transformed from stone to gold!

Lyrics in English
A Heart of Gold

Now comes the most beautiful time
you can see when the birds fly to us
they know that we now - have a heart of gold

When you meet someone in the town square
you can see that they bow and bow
and they smile at me - they have a heart of gold

You can hear that those who rule the world now
have softened and they say that now there will be peace
you can hope that they - have a heart of gold

Both mistress and master are friendly now
they give a meat bone to the dog and the cat runs free
everyone notices right now - that Christmas has come here

Lyrics in Swedish
Ett Hjärta av Guld

Nu kommer den vackaste tiden hit
man kan få se när fåglarna flyga till oss
de vet att vi nu - har ett hjärta av guld

Då man möter någon på stadens torg
man kan få se att dom niger och bugar sig
och dom ler mot mig - dom har ett hjärta av guld

Man kan höra att dom som styr världen nu
har mjuknat upp och dom säger att nu ska det bli fred
man kan hoppas att dom - har ett hjärta av guld

Både matte och husse är vänliga nu
dom ger ett köttben till hunden och katten springer fritt
alla märker just nu - att julen har kommit hit

LYRICS
I keep dreaming these sweet dreams
I make them last all night
This time it could be so special
I couldn't take my eyes off you
Keep dreaming these sweet dreams of you

And I know we've just met 
And I could be wrong
I can still taste your cinnamon lipstick
Never thought I'd fall in this quick
I keep dreaming those sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

Instrumental

Keep dreaming these sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

You stole my breath when I first saw you
Now all I want to do is hold you
I've never known a love like this
The magic of our first kiss
And I keep dreaming those sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

Keep dreaming these sweet dreams
Make them last all night
This time it could be so special
I couldn't take my eyes off you
Keep dreaming these sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

Outro

Sweet Dreams Of You

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.
