My friend, indie songwriter/lyricist Edwin H. Balder, sent me these lyrics as a Christmas gift late last year. He encouraged me as I was recovering from a major health blow & surgery. Now it is Ed's turn. He's having some health struggles yet continues to write. We want to encourage him. 12 Below and I hoped to surprise him with music set to his lyrics. 

Ed, we are all rooting for you--prayers, positive vibes, and healing music your way!! Thank you for inspiring so many of us. @edwin-balder

Just me and my ukulele: Another new song demoed with an acoustic ukulele. I don't usually include lyrics in the description but I seem to have sung this without making many of the words really clear, so just this once I have included the lyrics here.

IF I ONLY HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE AGAIN 
(Oct 2023)


Shattered Dreams
Broken promises
Map the highways 
Of my life
A broken heart
Long lost dreams 
The price I pay
For blinkered eyes

In my youth
I saw the world
A gilded path
And all that implies
But with age,
Experience
Shows the truth
Youth ever denies

If I had my life again would I make the same mistakes
If I had a second chance would I be smart
Would I come to realise
Would I see thru all those lies'
If I only had my life to live again

I believed 
What I was told
Had no doubts
Your love would last
But in time
Your love would die
Then my dreams
And hopes were trashed

If I had my life again would I make the same mistakes
If I had a second chance would I be smart
Would I come to realise
Would I see thru all those lies'
If I only had my life to live again


Main chord sequence: Am  Dm  G   C  F  E7
Chorus F  G  C  Am

If I Only Had My Life To Live Again

We are stronger than we thought...
On est plus fort qu'on ne le pense...

We're not new in town.
We have to take everything apart
Go back to the beginning 
We have to take everything apart
Take the time to see clearly 
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can cheat with us     
We're not new in town.

For the warrior’s rest
The shopkeeper’s smile
To seek equality, I choose to take an inventary
For our peace of mind
A whole sanitary cordon
To live lightly, I’m in, you know
The pretty advertisements
Sorry, it’s too expensive
After swallowing too much, we end up choking
The dresses and the fashion shows
Glass slippers
The beauty standards
well Packaged but vulgar
We have to take everything apart
Go back to the beginning 
We have to take everything apart
Take the time to see clearly 
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can keep talking
We're not new in town.
In the face of adversity
For the lonely hearts
A touch of humanity with a penchant for solidarity
In the face of mediocrity
To protect the earth
A burst of qualities with revolutionary accents
We have to take everything apart
Go back to the beginning 
We have to take everything apart
Take the time to see clearly 
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can bawl and yell
We're not new in town.
A slice of humble pie
And years of hardship
Work may be health, but let’s not push grandpa too hard
The body and the users
intermediate bodies
Sucked into the tunnel –vacuum -dust -dust

We have to take everything apart
Go back to the beginning 
We have to take everything apart
 Lay it all out on the ground 
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can speechify     
We're not new in town.
We have to take everything apart
Put everything right back
We have to take everything apart
Then sit down on the ground
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can sweet talk with us
We're not new in town.

Pas nés d'hier

Amour déçu...quoique...// Lost love?...maybe not...

Gare de l’Est (At Paris East station)

Gare de l’Est, lying in ambush,
My body, patriotic,
Ready to sacrifice itself
For a stolen kiss.
The sky is threatening,
Like your last message
That I read a hundred times
In the midst of the crowd.
Like a soldier at attention,
I wait for you, I’m losing my mind.
No way, I won’t return
To Metz Without a promise.
My paced hundred steps
Don’t calm these voices
That softly repeat
I missed my chance.
It’s night now,
And the wind has risen.
I could lie down
Forever on this bench.
Like a soldier at attention,
I wait for you, I’m losing my mind.
No way, I won’t return
To Metz Without a promise.
Then the storm breaks,
Windows glisten,
Sweaty brow, flushed cheeks,
Sweat a salty taste.
If you don’t come,
If you’ve turned the page,
I can’t even imagine—
I ‘m losing my courage.
Like a soldier at attention,
I wait for you, I’m losing my mind.
No way, I won’t return
To Metz Without a promise.
I’d like to bring to light
A mirage from the mist,
A whirlwind of joy,
Your marvelous face.
“But she won’t come anymore,”
Says this stranger.
I turn around—
A goddess—
And I’m struck down.

“From being a baby our daughter has always loved Halloween. This reworked seasonal rocker features incredible special guest vocals by our daughter. Happy Halloween everyone! 👻💀🎃🤘”

Calm down daddy it’s only a ghost 

There’s a secret society
That comes out on the 31st
They don their masks and their costumes
They’ve got a hunger, a thirst
Now go and tell you and yours
Make sure you close them blinds
Look now here they come don’t let that ghost inside

There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost)
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost)
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost) at the door
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost)
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost)
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost) at the door
So lock your door
Lock your door 
Lock your door
Lock your…

Trick or Treat? 

I’ve opened the door daddy

Gravitas

'One More Breath' is a Jazz Fusion track inspired by the practice of breathing exercises. Chi-gung, meditation etc. When one arrives at their limit, can one relax and add "One More Breath". Through weeks, months and years of practice, one slowly improves and progress is made. So then "One More Breath" is the inspiration in all activities, to not give up at "the final hurdle".

One More Breath

Cast of Characters:
 
Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – foundational acoustic guitar and seed idea
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, lyrics, and vocals
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken– drums and percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless bass
The Eclectic Collective — composition and mix

 This is the second song in a row that The Eclectic Collective is releasing in as many weeks that was written by Chris. We love working on his songs, and all jumped at the chance to play with this one, as well. He wrote it on an acoustic guitar, onto which he also put some heavy reverb, giving it an ethereal, chordal sound. To that bare bones, Josh fist added his four-string fretless bass to a click track, of all things. Luckily, Ken swooped in soon after and gave it a proper beat with his lively percussion performance.
Once the rhythm section was complete, Tez added his melodic, golden-tone guiar in there. Then, it was JJ's turn. He added not only the piano and synth, but wrote the lyrics and sang it, as well.
This song was actually mixed by the group, as we all added our parts, although Ken did some final adjustments, too.
JJ's lyrics tell the story of the first people to reach Easter Island, millenia ago. The wonder of the journey and the discovery of a new home, while using the materials available to survive. Here are his original lyrics.

Original Lyrics by J.J. Terrell:

Through the eyes of the gentle rain
Monuments raised where the Lapwings stay
All the sand, the hourglass of man sifts here
A traveling band of gypsies in this land appear
Crowd the fire as the night sets in
Listen for tales of enlightenment
Until dawn
The flowered down of a bird so true
Pure as heaven, the chosen few
It's all waiting for the night

"Unabashed" (The Eclectic Collective)

Music and Lyrics By Pierfranco Chiusolo
Arranged and Played By Massimo Primiero
Sung By Lara Brachet Cota

I originally worked on this song in the year of 2005 , 
this song was born by an idea of Mr. Pierfranco Chiusolo (https://it-it.facebook.com/pierfranco.chiusolo) 
the lyric is a funny story (not so funny to be honest) about how It has become so difficult for a live Band finding new places to play Live Music and how everything is such complicated and hard behind the stage.
When Mr.Chiusolo gave me the vocal and bass rough line for arranging my first impact was a song with a reggae groove Intro with a change to medium hard rock tempo, the result is a track with a sound between Led Zeppelin and The Police first period, Lara did a very good Job on this song, I think that despite years have passed the lyric's subject is still present today.

English Lyrics:

Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About
Moving fast always and forever, Go On Stage, People is so ready
Launch in a second, With no taste
Pubs with no people, And dark Piano bar
Guitar, Bass, Voice and drum
The sound is tough all around us
The Voice is ready, To shout for all
Fingers on frets , Let’s start right now

Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About
Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About
Grooving  Growing, Energy is here
Knowing look the stacco is here
Verse and chorus E C n’ G
Bad eyes frozen your heart
No shaking hands, what a frustration
Who doesn't care let’s go for the party
Music is lauding, Feeling is wuaooo
Time to study and sound is so great.

Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About
Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About

Concert is over people has gone, Few shaking hands ,that’s Ok
Put your jack off, Instruments down
All in your car, And go out from here
No enough paid , for everyone here
Playing is like that,  think about It
Passion and labor, Sweat and notes
Real Glory for our rich hearts

Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About
