Rendez-vous raté

The sudden death of rock drummer Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) prompted me to write this song. While preparing for a live performance, life may abruptly end, symbolized by the lyrics “a snare without a rhythm”.
Arpeggiated flat5/major7 chords open the song, creating an uneasy feel as if something is about to happen. The unexpected song's ending symbolizes that “fate cut another ribbon”.

Lyrics

She came to me like 
Wind through the trees
She danced and twirled
And rustled my leaves
With each rotation
She picked up speed

A force of nature
Wild and swift
She swept me up
And I couldn't resist
I yearned for her touch 
And the taste of her kiss

My gypsy gale
Was a hot summer breeze
A friend to both the birds and the bees
She was the air that I needed to breath
But my gypsy gale
Came and went as she pleased

I struggled on 
While she was away
Searching for reasons
Why she should stay
Yet the truth was there
In front of my face

My gypsy gale
Was a hot summer breeze
A friend to both the birds and the bees
She was the air that I needed to breath
But my gypsy gale
Came and went as she pleased

I am the tree
That needs roots to grow
And she is the wind
So I let her go

My gypsy gale
Was a hot summer breeze
A friend to both the birds and the bees
She was the air that I needed to breath
But my gypsy gale
Came and went as she pleased

Lyrics:

When you saw her face
You couldn't look away
And knew right then and there
(That) One day you would meet

From living room to Kathmandu
Trekking ever closer
Day to day and week by week
Now you're standing at her feet

Chorus
Mount Everest Divine
Goddess of the sky
Cloaked in ice diamonds and white gold
She's magnificent but stone cold
Don't drop your guard, don't be fooled
She's magnificent but stone cold

V2
Nothing with her comes easy
She gives no guarantees
She is the roof of the world
And the ice falls at Khumbu

You give her all you've got
Because nothing less will do
In the end you still may lose
Or watch your dreams come true
Chorus
Mount Everest Divine
Goddess of the sky
Cloaked in ice diamonds and white gold
She's magnificent but stone cold
Don't drop your guard, don't be fooled
She's magnificent but stone cold

Mount Everest Divine

LYRICS 

The time that we're wasting
Just talking all around
Just saying something
Just to hear some sound

That was the beginning
Yeah that was just the start
You got diamonds for a heart

First time I saw you
You took my breath away
Don't make me implore you
Or beg to let me stay

That was the beginning
Yeah that was just the start
You got diamonds for a heart

Inst

That was the beginning
Yeah that was just the start
You got diamonds for a heart

Friends they always told me
You laugh behind my back
Threw me crumbs of comfort
To keep me coming back

That was the beginning
Yeah that was just the start
You got diamonds for a heart

In a smoke filled room
Powder burns on your face
Tear drops wash away
All the pain of yesterday
Got to be a better way
To make it through today

Run, run , away

--------------------

Raining, raining, raining, raining

I'm raging through your door now slowly raising my pistol 
I'm your raining man and any day I want to give you a ride on this self destruction
I'm your raining man and any day I want to give you ride


It's raining and it doesn't even matter, it's raining and it's getting even wetter
I'm setting my aim lock and load pull the trigger and you die bang bang
Raining, raining, raining, raining

it's just raining and I'm waiting till your blood flow reaches point of my shiny right shoe
As I'm saying there's no praying when I play I'll go all in and that's the truth

It's raining and it doesn't even matter, it's raining and it's getting even wetter
I'm setting my aim lock and load pull the trigger you down bang bang

Raining, raining, raining, raining
My smoking gun slowly cooling off on this cold blooded murder
As I was saying all I can give you is embrace of earth in seven feet under
My pistol aiming your head and blowing away sins as the rain is getting harder

It's raining and it doesn't even matter, it's raining and it's getting even wetter
I'm setting my aim lock and load pull the trigger and you die bang bang
Raining, raining, raining, raining

Rain of Consequences (The ELFs)

This is a song, a metaphor, about the danger fed to society by too consuming much Internet, in all of its forms.  Don't walk into the muddy waters too deep.

---

It started on a very cold night; uptight. 
Her friend said that she's ok, just so tired.
Things went awry online, in a short space of time, 
senseless reasons that she took her own life.

There was this guy who was ok, mentally.
Before the the Internet took him away,
now most people he knows don't want to hear what he knows,
this is how it goes, unfortunately.

Muddy waters.
You take your chances.

Big tech guru watching the harm his invention has on society.
Yet he forges on, fanning the flames, 
making it worse instead of better; indifferent to the pain,
anything to make some gains. 

Solo.

It can be a dangerous water that we don't want to swim in.   
If you step in, you can't see who will bite back.
Each drown out the next until you can't hear a thing.  
All it takes is for you to believe their spin.

Muddy waters.
You take your chances.

Muddy Waters

Cast of Characters: 

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– acoustic guitar, mix, production, and mastering

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 piano solo

K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Warwick 4-string fretless bass, piano, mandolin, and vocals

This song is an old Jerry Jeff Walker song from a live album that Josh's dad played countless times while driving around in his his old pickup truck while he was growing up. Josh decided this year's musical gift to his father would be a recording of this song, which his dad has always loved. When he asked his bandmates in the Eclectic Collective to help him with it, they all generously and enthusiastically agreed to do so.
  Josh began the song by laying down the piano you hear throughout. He then added the bass before asking Ken to lay down the drums. Ken learned the song very quickly, and added perfect drums to it. Stephen then added his solid foundational guitar. Then, Josh went back in and added the mandolin before singing the whole thing. Before it was done, however, Josh tapped JJ to add the piano solo after the first chorus, which he did with grand style and flourish.
  Once it was in the can, Stephen was kind enough to mix and master it in his always professional manner. 
  Josh is very grateful to his bandmates for helping him give the gift of music to his dad once again this year. His dad has alwasy supported him with his music, from the time he was a little kid, and is very proud of his musical skills to this day. We hope you enjoy listening to this gift as much as we enjoyed putting it together

Pickup Truck Song( Jerry Jeff Walker Cover)-Eclectic Collective

I've always believed that this song would sound much better if it was sang as a male/female duet.

I asked Debbie if she would like to join me on the song and I was very happy when she said yes.

She did a marvellous job and added that extra dimension to the song that I always thought was missing.

Hope you like it.

There’s a girl sits all alone
In her world she calls her own
She cries at night cos he has gone

There’s a boy sitting in his car
Sad brown eyes staring out afar
The jukebox plays their favourite song

Chorus

They should be together
Instead of apart
They are one body
They share one heart
It seems so senseless
It went too far
She was his woman
He was her man

Solo

What’s the story, why is it so
Why it happened no one knows 
Don’t be foolish,  give her a call

Chorus x 2 

She was his woman – He was her man

They should be together(Cooper/DLynn Collaboration)
