Je vais oser être vraie
Je vais oser comme Joséphine et me la jouer façon bad gurl
(Je vais oser) et te proposer une romance erratique au son de mes mélodies nocturnes
Même s’il n est que 16h ce dimanche et que le soleil revient
Laisse moi t inviter dans la cathédrale de mes sons ecstatiques
Où je te jouerai la sweet polyphony de mes désirs
Te prenant ainsi dans les phares de mon clair de lune artificiel.

Welcome to my subspace
Où je ne te propose rien d autre que du love dans un magnetic cloud.
J’y ferai l éloge de ta rousseur en attendant que le rouge te monte aux joues
Bien sûr je ne te dirai pas lesquelles, ici je te l avoue…
Au gré de cette méditation guidée, nous allons jouer et nous élever
jusqu’à ce que la dernière goutte soit tombée,
Jusqu’à ce que la dernière goutte soit tombée….

Laisse moi te séduire au son de mes black keys et mes harmonies
Laisse-moi t’envoûter avec my dark smooth melody
Sous la douceur lunaire, je serai ta hiérophante adorée
Sous les étoiles endormies, tu seras bien vite piégé(e)
Au sein des vagues sublimes du storm de nos phéromones
Où tu n auras plus qu’à succomber aux sons de notre attraction musicale….

Ce soir my love soyons fantasques et frivoles
Ce soir my love ce sera juste: « relax and let me take control »

——————————————————
TRANSLATION:

I'm going to dare to be true
I'm going to dare like Josephine and play the bad girl
And offer you an erratic romance to the sound of my nocturnal melodies
Even if it's only 4 p.m. this Sunday and the sun is back
Let me invite you into the cathedral of my ecstatic sounds
Where I'll play you the sweet polyphony of my desires
Taking you in the headlights of my artificial moonlight.

Welcome to my subspace
Where I offer you nothing but love in a magnetic cloud.
I'll praise your red hair while waiting for the red to rise to your cheeks
Of course, I won't tell you which ones, but I confess here...
Through this guided meditation, we will play and rise until the last drop has fallen, Until the last drop has fallen...

Let me seduce you with the sound of my black keys and my harmonies
Let me enchant you with my dark, smooth melody
Under the lunar sweetness I will be your beloved hierophant
Under the sleeping stars you will quickly be trapped
Within the sublime waves of the storm of our pheromones
Where you will only have to succumb to the sounds of our musical attraction…

Tonight, my love, let's be whimsical and frivolous
Tonight, my love, it will be just: "Relax and let me take control"

Electro Goddess (with Damga)

Probably our last grand rock number as we start to wind down to finish our first collection of songs. Al took the reins with the lyrics on this one (and as always, the beautiful artwork) - inspired by a short story by Julia Armfield in Salt Slow and apparently an episode of Buffy! I just thought it sounded dead cool and really enjoyed singing her lyrics. Musically inspired by Nirvana, Elliott Smith, Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell.

Bluesinha is a cheeky little blues that tells the story of a smooth-talking hustler who underestimated the girl — and ended up getting what he deserved. But in the end, they find common ground, and desire wins out. A tale of love for lust, or maybe lust for love.

Little Blues (Bluesinha)

Listen here, my girl,
Don’t mean to play you wrong,
Hope you’ll forgive me,
But tonight I can't come along.
I got no cash on me,
No ride, no fare,
And I know you don’t
Take buses anywhere.
My vibe is rock and roll,
But your scene’s pop and gold,
It’s money...

I’m a streetwise stray
In this crazy town,
Was a punk, Hare Krishna,
Now I sleep on the ground.
I got nowhere to go,
Got nothing to share,
No dog, no room or sofa,
No TV, not even air.
But if I steal your mint drop,
And sip your whisky on the rocks —
That's sweeter...

My vibe is rock and roll,
But your world’s pop control,
It’s money...

Now listen up, my dear,
Let me make it clear,
I don’t want your money,
Don’t care what you wear.
My folks pay my bills,
That much you should know,
Cash ain’t what I’m missing —
Just got nowhere to go.

My vibe is pure raw lust,
Your scene’s all junk and dust,
So hollow...

So come on now, my love,
Let’s not waste the night,
I’m finally gettin'
What’s been feelin' right.
You want me,
And I want you too —
Why worry 'bout the rest
When the world’s just passin' through?
Our beat is touch and heat,
Our world’s a Woodstock street —
So mellow...

And our life is tight,
Our kiss? A bolt of light —
Straight yellow.

Bluesinha é um blues canalha, que conta a história de um malandro que subestimou a garota e acabou levando o troco. Mas no final eles se entendem e o desejo prevalece. Uma história de amor ao tesão, ou tesão de amor.

Bluesinha

 
Escute aqui menina,
Eu não quero te enganar,
Vê se me desculpa, 
Mas hoje não vai dar...
Não tenho dinheiro, 
Tô sem condução,
Sei também que você 
Não é de pegar buzão.
Minha balada é rock,
Mas seu mundo é pop,
Dinheiro...
Eu sou bicho urbano, 
Dessa cidade louca,
Já fui punk, Hare Krishna
Hoje eu durmo numa moita
Não tenho pra onde ir
Nada à oferecer
Cachorro, quarto ou sala,
Nem banheiro nem tv.
Mas se eu te serro um drops,
Seu whisk on-the-rocks
Primeiro...
Minha balada é rock,
Mas seu mundo é pop,
Dinheiro...

Então preste atenção,
Vou te explicar meu bem,
Não quero sua grana,
Nem saber o que Tú tem,
Minha família é quem me banca,
Você deve saber
A mim não falta grana,
O que me falta é quem comer.
Minha balada é fuck
Mas seu mundo é junkie
Fuleiro...
Então venha meu amor,
Não vamos perder tempo
Agora eu to sacando,
O que está acontecendo
Você me quer, 
Eu te quero também,
Pra que saber do resto 
Se o mundo vai ou vem
Nossa balada é o toque
Nosso mundo Woodstok
Inteiro...
Mas nossa vida é top,
Nosso beijo e um choque!
E meio....

Little Blues (Bluesinha)

This is a song that comes deeply from my heart. Morten, the wonderfully skilled and talented producer, had prepared an instrumental version of this track some time ago, and I revisited it a couple of months after I had lost my dearest furry bestie, Lumi cat. 

I miss her every single day, and after hearing this track again I started to pour my heart into lyrics and vocals, whilst thinking about Lumi. On the day we lost Lumi, we went for a walk and had a (half a) pint of Guinness outside a pub. When I raised my glass for Lumi, I looked up and saw a shooting star. It felt comforting, as if she was flying free and comfortable with the stars.

Some connections, whether humans or animals, touch our heart in a profound way and when their time is up as Earthlings, they leave a huge void when they are not physically here anymore. I have to keep reminding myself to think what a happy life Lumi had, and how privileged I was to have her in my life. Her first family gave her up when she was 10 years old and she got to very nearly 18 years of age, so we shared around 8 years with this wonderfully sweet character that Lumi was. She used to love listening to me sing (thank you for the encouragement!) and often joined in. I know she would have loved this song and been in her happy trance with a drop of happiness on the tip of her nose (this was an obvious sign of her happiness and she had the droplet on her nose very often ❤️😻).    

I wish you comfort if you are experiencing a grieving process. Time does its bit for the healing too. 🙏 And thank you for listening.

Cast of Characters:
Didier Burli-- @didierburli — acoustic guitar, main vocals, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Roland Phantom organ, Roland piano, Paul Reed Smith cutom SE electric guiar, Warwick four string fretless bass, vocal harmonies
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar

This song began with Didier coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. However, when he first sent it to Josh, he had played electric guitar, bass, keys, and drums on it, because he is a very talented multi-intrumentalist. This song passes the stool test, though, which is the question of whether it sounds good with someone just sitting on a stool with a guitar, playing and singing it. So, when we asked him to give us a version that we could add to, it was already a great song that he sent us with just him singing over his acoustic guitar. 
  Tez was the first one up on this one, adding the fiery fills throughout, as well as the co-solo at the end. Ken entered the fray next, adding his rock solid, dynamic drums. Once the drums were down giving him something to play against, Josh added his fretless bass to the song. Being very excited about this one, he also added piano, organ, and eventually the lead guitar solo at the end. He also went in and added all the vocal harmonies throughout. Stephen then brought up the rear with some really cool textural guitar throughout. 
  Once we had it in the bag, we asked Tez to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his usual expert fashion. 
  This is our first song with Didier, but we hope it's just the beginning of his new inclusion into the Eclectic Collective family. He has a lot of great music on his page, which is worth checking out, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Didier Burli:
I wish I could stay awake but I need to sleep
Thunder is on it's way but I don't hear it
I don't fear the ghouls, and I don't fear the creeps
And with this dancing zombie, I don't know what to do with it
And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does, that makes you want throw up

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does that makes you want dream of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that makes you scared of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that mankind lost

And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

The Noise Rises Up-Didier/Eclectic Collective

Well hello. Here’s some rustic Mountain Blues, played on extremely oxidized guitar strings, with me hollering from the mountain top. Hahahaha. The song hints at a personal authenticity, and the experience of possibly unraveling any prior conditioning (Pavlovian or otherwise) that may constrict our lives in some way. It’s also about the different personas we portray to the outside world. How we may act at work, or on a first date, or with our spouse, or kids, friends, enemies, those who hurt us, even our stage personas comes into play…. So this song is asking a lot of us. In other news, right now in June, the mountains are snow covered and it froze last night. That is late spring, early summer here. Gardenwise, this year, I am planting a lot more Brassicas: Kale, Cabbage and Broccoli, and they are growing well. I am going to try to fence off the carrot/beet beds, as the voles always eat more carrots and beets than I ever do. Onions, leeks and garlic have been growing since March. I transplanted 50 lettuce plants I grew from seed that I saved from last year’s lettuce. The berry bushes and fruit trees have really blossomed this year. There are squash, cukes, tomato and pepper plants inside by the window, to be transplanted outside next week, quite a mess… all of which keeps me busy…. Hahaha. Thanks for dropping by, hope you’re well, Mark

'Round Here'

Let’s not mince words here. Trump is the embodiment of corruption, greed, and incompetence. He’s a man who has spent his entire life looking out for himself, exploiting others, and leaving chaos in his wake. As De Niro so eloquently put it: *“He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. He’s a bullsh*t artist. He’s a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”* This isn’t just about politics—it’s about morality. It’s about standing up to a man who has no respect for the rule of law, no respect for the truth, and no respect for the American people.  

Trump’s presidency was a disaster. He divided the country, emboldened hate, and failed to deliver on his promises. He’s a man who thrives on chaos, who lies with every breath, and who cares only about his own ego. As De Niro said: *“He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a mutt. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s an idiot. He’s a fool.”* And yet, here we are, facing the possibility of him returning to power. We cannot let that happen. We cannot allow this man to continue to poison our democracy.  

This is not just about Trump—it’s about the people who enable him. The sycophants, the cowards, and the opportunists who stand by his side and allow his corruption to flourish. They are just as guilty as he is. As De Niro said: *“They’re all scum. They’re all mutts. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”* We need to hold them accountable. We need to stand up and fight back.  

The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines. This is about the soul of our nation. It’s about protecting our democracy, our values, and our future. We cannot afford to let Trump and his enablers win. We must vote, we must organize, and we must make our voices heard. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna fight back. We’re gonna fight back with everything we’ve got.”*  

So let’s do this. Let’s come together and defeat Trump once and for all. Let’s show the world that we are better than this. That we will not tolerate corruption, lies, and hate. That we will stand up for what’s right. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna win. We’re gonna win because we have to.”*  

This is our moment. This is our fight. Let’s get to work.

Passionate Apathy

Before

A dear friend asked me if I wanted to set one of his poems to music. Well, I did. And this is what came out of it...

The title of the poem is “Augenblick”, which means "moment", but literally “blink of an eye”.

Augenblick (by Hans H. Hiebel)

Tender day
The eye-lid of the night
Has opened
Time
Is twinkling at us
And because everything is divided
And must be divided
We twinkle back
And death
Closes the lid

The track wouldn't be the same without Robert S. Dean... Thank you!

That You Were There

Show Me Your Sexy Tattoo, Lyrics Gerald E. Greene

Tantos inocentes perdidos no caminho
Fugimos de nós, mas voltamos sozinhos
Buscamos um lugar que talvez nem exista
Mas seguimos, de alma em alma, de pista em pista

Mas eu te vejo
Deixa eu ser teu
Me perde e encontra
Outra vez aqui
 
O silêncio pesa mais que a discussão
Porque o que mata é o que fica no coração,
Nos perdemos tentando ter razão
Mas a alma pede paz e não aprovação

Quem somos agora, se não tentar
De sermos inteiros, inteiros
Sem fugir, sem mentir, só entender
Talvez consiga te encontrar

Composição, produção e voz: Gui Pagliari

Mas Eu Te Vejo

Way overdue for something new but I've been living in exile without the usual, albeit modest, setup I'm used to. So this might be pretty rough. And it's full of the usual horror at political realities and way full of schmaltzy velveeta. 

Guitarist note:  I don't have amps at present and was struggling to find a decent direct sound. There is a *free* VST plugin by Neural Amp DSP and online libraries of tone prints, also free, that came to the rescue. Highly recommended.

it's alright for you as long as it's alright
you don't mind what they do in the broad daylight

it never could be you

but you don't see the way you're blinded
they'll never drag you down to the places meant for those

do you feel the color of your soul
when you live with love suspended hiding in a hole
the moment is yours but you don't believe 
you won't believe what lies there ripening 
growing in your mind without you knowing

now it could be you

and as you feel the weight of the binding
you know they're dragging you down to the places meant for those

to liberate the light of every heart and mind
you can say it never paying any price

there's a little part of everyone that knows 
we're only playing separate lives 
till true faith arrives

if there's every gonna be a change 
let it start right here

you know it could be you

It Could Be You

This Empty World 

It is hard to escape the unrest in the world at the moment, horrific picture of  starving children, millions dying in wars, Psychopaths running countries and threatening nuclear war if they don’t get what they want. Very frightening times. 

All of this is having a profound effect on me and I am sure on a lot of normal people and I wonder, do these So called leaders have any idea of the effect all of these bombs going off and exhaust from tanks and jets is having on our Atmosphere ? what would happen to humanity if they actually did press that Nuclear button?  Armageddon would be released followed by disease and mother earth would fight back. 

With this as a mental backdrop, I had an idea for a song about the last human being left alive on Earth after such an event. There would have to be a “ Last man standing “  A bitter sweet experience to have survived nuclear wars, pandemic after pandemic and the death of life on the planet but to be All alone in this empty world. I had the music but not the lyrics. I sent off what I had to my Friend and musical collaborator Finn Eces and what you are about to hear is the amazing result.

Thank you Finn for the Lyrics, such top class vocals and harmonies and a Class mix and professional Production .

This Empty World 

In the stone dead mist there stands the world's last man 
In his stone cold fist holds the world’s last plan 
Now the skies don’t speak  and silent oceans wreak 
not another soul to seek in this empty world 

In this empty world, This empty world  

In the silent streets was heard, a weak heartbeat 
Will our own disease be our last defeat ? 
Mother earth is ill  and her breath grows still 
Just one more grave to fill this empty world 

This empty world
This empty world  

Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone see ? 
Does anyone hear ? 
I don’t what to the be the last 

This empty world,
this empty world  
In this Empty World, 
this Empty World


Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone live ? 
Does anyone breath ? 
Lights went out and now the darkness reigns 
In this empty world in this empty world

This Empty world ( Featuring Finn Eces )

Se me tranco no meu quarto
À procura de uma resposta
Escrevo numa carta amassada
O que aconteceu
Os motivos são certos
Eles são concretos
Mas não se completam
Porque minha cabeça agora não deixa
Não deixa não
Eu não estou afim!

Vai te embora daqui
Não vê que a porta está 
Trancada e eu não quero
Que você apareça

Ruim, ruim, ruim!
Pensamento Ruim

Nem tudo que tenho
É suficiente, é correspondente
Evito o princípio
Quero o sacrifício
A chave joguei fora
Só vou sair
Quando conseguir
Tirar você
De mim

Vai te embora daqui
Não vê que a porta está 
Trancada e eu não quero
Que você apareça

Ruim, ruim, ruim!
Pensamento Ruim

Hey! Pensamento Ruim!
Eu não sou assim!

Pensamento Ruim

Todas as vezes que amei
Todas as cores que pintei
Todas as chances que busquei
Todas as causas que ganhei

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho

Todas as vezes que eu chorei
Todas as vezes que meus sonhos foram apenas vindos
Todas as letras que lhe dei
Todas as frases formadas, juntos

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho
