go sleep MARY

Enfants du vent

Que reste-t-il de nous
Après moi après vous
Plus rien

Où sont passés nos rêves
Brulés dans l’incendie
De nos cœurs interdits

C’est le feu
C’est le sang
Qui nous entrainent au-devant
Au-devant de nos peurs
Nous ne sommes que les enfants du vent
Du sable éternel
De la poussière

Qu’avons-nous fait de mal
On trouvait ça normal
D’exister

Qu’avons-nous devant nous
Que des rêves un peu flous
De fragiles croyances
Qu’on laisse derrière nous
Et on court en tout sens
Sans savoir où aller

C’est le feu
C’est le sang
Qui nous entrainent au-devant
Au-devant de nos peurs
Nous ne sommes que les enfants du vent
Du sable éternel
De la poussière



A LA FRONTIERE

Enfants Du Vent

VERONICA

Juste toi et moi
Comme des funambules
Accrochés au-dessus du vide

On reste sans voix
Chacun dans sa bulle
Aucun de nous deux se décide

Oh
L’espace d’un instant si fragile

Vero Vero Veronica
Ta peau si blanche
Tes yeux si noirs
Le silence est si étrange entre nous deux

Au cœur de l’incendie
Ravageant nos corps
Dans la chaleur immobiles

Désir en sursis
Que le feu dévore
Attisé par la peur du vide

Trop tard
Tout est fini
Juste un rien qui s’enfuit
Jamais je n’oublierai
Cet instant trop court à tes côtés

Vero Vero Veronica
Ta peau si blanche
Tes yeux si noirs
Juste toi et moi

Véronica

"The Reach” is set in Maine during the autumn season, painting a vivid picture of the landscape and the raw beauty of nature. The lyrics depict the changing colors of the birches as they begin to turn and the fog that meets the beaches, creating an atmospheric backdrop for the story that unfolds.
The song beautifully captures the timeless bond between a father and his son, symbolizing a tradition that has been passed down through generations in coastal communities. It speaks of lobstermen, hauling their catch by hand, and braving the stormy seas. This tradition serves as a metaphorical thread that connects the past to the present, showcasing the strength and resilience of those who rely on the sea for their livelihood.
“The Reach” symbolizes a sense of longing and the pursuit of knowledge. This particular stretch of the coast represents a deeper understanding of life, its struggles, and its endless teachings. As the protagonist embarks on a journey to the depths of their soul, they draw wisdom from the reach, taking everything it has to offer.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to reflect the changing seasons. The wind brings a chill, and the frost on the sill signifies the arrival of winter. The reach lies frozen, serving as a metaphor for the challenges and hardships that life inevitably brings. It is during these difficult times that the true lessons of the reach become apparent, offering guidance and strength."            Beatcrave

The Reach - Dan Fogelberg (Cover)

A song written by a good friend of mine. He asked me to sing it as he needed to distance himself from it.  

Hello Brother (wot do you see)

Lyrics

Cry to my father, Lie to my son
Dying turns my heart to everyone
Come to my hollow, come on let's run
Come to your senses, let it be done

No one to save
Nobody's here
No one here to see my tears
No one to save
Nobody's here
No one here to see my tears

Blessed the low, those in need
Right now I need mercy on me
Be there with me, in my end time
See that I don't fall to the enemy

Someone to save
Somebody's here
Someone to see my tears
Someone to save
Somebody's here
Someone to see my tears

Someone to Save

Regards croisés à contre temps 
J'ai senti tes yeux sur mes hanches
Nuit d'été suffocante
je me veux entre tes mains ta puissance
A une autre époque je n'osais lever les yeux trop embarrassée, 
J'avais peur de te parler.
J'aimerais résister pour pouvoir provoquer encore 
Ces premières étincelles.
Tu voudrais que je cède
Qu'il n'y ait entre nous que l'espace de nos souffles
Que je sente que tu manques d'air
A proximité de ma bouche
Quand tes lèvres ont effleuré mon épaule nue
j'ai su que nos énergies traceraient les contours de la passion.
Le long de ma colonne j'ai ressenti l'envie de te serrer 
De me coller contre ton buste et d'être à toi.


Tu voudrais

Sensuelle et Minérale (HyLGZ22/ Damga / La Gazelle)

After Dairv sent me his music cover of this song  I knew it was going to be powerful.
Honestly I was already impressed with his guitar and production skills any way but I was so glad and honored to be asked to send my contribution to such a great production.
Thank you Dave

JE REGARDE LE MONDE

'diffidence' 

Please let me be the only one to love you.
And, me, the only one to whom you give your love.
For, in my life, I've placed no one above you.
It feels so right and safe each time we touch. 

But I fear that somehow I've left you unsatisfied,
and that you feel the need hide from me
all the things that go down when my hands are tied.
Tell me, baby, please, just set my mind at ease. 

I'm doing all I can to understand you.
I give you all have each time I can, my love.
I hope our love continually expands through
communication, and that we can trust 

everything we share, based on the feelings
that captivate our souls when we are near.
I know that we are unique, separate beings,
but it's so hard livin' with all this fear 

of losing you, because we are so different.
Although the love we share, feels much the same.
I apologize for my constant diffidence,
but, sometimes my brain makes me feel insane...

Tell me you love me
Even everything’s a lie
I need to hear again
These words in your mouth

So warm and bright is this new day
So cold is your face

Our eyes are closed
I’m all alone with you
And I can feel the pain
All the fights you have been through

Tell me you love me
Silence’s going on
Just your smile remains
I’ll keep it my mind

Our eyes are closed
I’m all alone with you
And I can feel the pain
All the fights you have been through


TELL ME

J'ai caressé l'espoir de te revoir un de ces soirs
Mais des fois c'est bizarre comme la vie nous sépare
J'étais comme un enfant qui se croit bien plus grand et se casse les dents
Alors il se ment dans ses sentiments

J'ai cherché tout' la nuit ces morceaux de ma vie tombés au fond du puits
Retrouver me esprits et ce que je suis
Je reprends le combat pour la dernière fois c'est sans issue pour moi
Une partie de moi s'envole avec toi

Comment faire pour aimer après toi comment se pardonner tout à la fois
Comment vivre l'enfer de ces journées sans toi
Comment faire après toi comment faire
Quand y'a plus rien à croire
Personne à décevoir
On reste là sans rien faire
Après toi

Et puis ce matin vide ce visage livide contre un mur invisible
Devenir insensible accepter l'impossible
Rien ne te remplace et sans laisser de trace toute une vie s'efface
Plus rien à la surface

Je n'ai rien retrouvé de la réalité le mur s'est écroulé
J'ai passé des années à croire que tu m'aimais
Des années d'insouciance comme une vrai romance
Et quand vient l'évidence la douleur est intense

Comment faire pour aimer après toi comment se pardonner tout à la fois
Comment vivre l'enfer de ces journées sans toi
Comment faire après toi comment faire
Quand y'a plus rien à croire
Personne à décevoir
On reste là sans rien faire
Après toi

APRES TOI

Hi there, this one isn’t one of our usual first-take/one-take recordings during a jam session; we did actually spend a bit of time on this one! It is a live take though, no overdubs, except for the synths that I added after.

Jim Sanders is on the drums, Charlie Villiers and Dave Toolan are on the guitars, I’m on the bass and singing (and I wrote it).

Look out for Charlie’s sublime solo 🤩 one of my personal favourites of his!

Lyrics

I already know
what you’re gonna say
what you’re gonna say

Maybe I’m afraid
I’m incapable
I’m incapable

Would we still be here
if the rain had stopped
if the rain had stopped

And of course this may not fly
but we’ll give it a shot
yes we’ll give it a shot

Everything in life,
if you add it up
if you add it up

It’s my faithful wife
and we are in love
yes we are in love
.      (🤩🎸)
Oh and how we dance
you don’t stand a chance
no you don’t stand a chance

Taken by surprise
you’ll get used to it
you’ll get used to it

And the longer that you leave it
the longer it will be to grow
And the harder that you push it
The harder it will be to know
And I told you not to hurry
Don’t make up you’re mind just yet
Cos how can you be certain
promises can be kept?

Everything In Life

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, Roland Phantom 6 synth, vocals, lyrics, arrangement, composition
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ--  Yamaha Genos 2 and Yamaha MoXF8 
synth, organ, electric piano, and vocal harmonies
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet     
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaser through a VST synth FX device
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, Fender Acoustasonic acoustic guitar, Gibson Earl Scruggs Mastertone banjo, mix, production, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 
  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.
  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.
  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 
  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

Having grown up with the songs of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and other soul greats, and more recently been impressed by the songwriting of artists like Tom Misch and Mac Ayers, I’ve wanted for a while to add an R&B feel to a some of my tracks. 
I’ve tried a few times over the years, and found that blending a strong groove with my usual acoustic, singer-songwriter type stuff didn’t really work. 
I still wanted the songs to sound like my songs :)
This is the first time I’ve finished a track, in that style, that I’m confident enough to put out there. 
Hope you like it :)

Lyrics:
Needed time to think it over
Get my head straight
Diving overboard           
Maybe Its too late                                                
Make same mistakes 
Its time to move on
But something else is pulling me 
To this old town
 
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two

Someone told me once
To love is to feel free 
Coming home is back to reality
You said it all
The first time
Catching up on feelings 
Harder to define

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two
  
So many years
I tried for it to make sense
Saw our love 
But only in the past tense
Years are slipping
Losing all our nine lives 
Only one thing to decide
  
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this old underworld 
of two

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the story found us
Right here, right now
In this underworld 
of two

Star

John Stone

These are dark dark days and dark dark nights 
Do our best days lie behind us? 
As I made my way on frosted feet 
Would I stumble, would I fall?
I lift my eyes in search of light
Only clouds fill the horizon 
In the dark I see  there no-one near
Is  there nothing to rely on? 

But surely there are better days
The beating of the drum 
Will fade away, the clouds will clear
Are there better worlds and better times and better thing to come?

Then I saw the star
It’s courageous light
Had travelled far 
To be there that night
Pushing through the clouds
‘cross the scudding  sky
A message from afar
And it gave me hope that beyond the night
There’s a blazing sky
That’s filled with light
There are better worlds 
and better lives
And brighter days by far
I remember that one night I saw the star.

So I looked around Though the light was dim
but my eyes grew strong from the fire within
Now I see that there are other’s near
With their eyes ablaze as they conquered fear
And we walked together arm in arm 
As together we would Am feel no harm
Though clouds may still obscure our view
We could feel a future better, bright and new


go sleep MARY
