Play On 140 BPM--lyrics
It’s a vibe—-just a vibe
Come on and follow me
Float with me—— soar with me 
Surely you will see
Flying high ——oh so high
Come on fly with me
To the ultimate level
Easy as could be

I find moments when the music isn’t inside of me
But I’m inside of the music floating around free
Relaxing and moving—-come on follow me 
Step inside—-Feel the vibe—it’s almost heavenly 
Warm and deep—-take the leap—a total odyssey 
Free your mind —-let’s unwind——and find the frequency
Free your mind —-let’s unwind——and find the frequency
find the frequency

now vibe with me
come on vibe with me 
come on fly with me
come on vibe with me —come on

Come on where you been—— the challenge is within 
Again it all like ——letting go and floating in the wind
Sunshine and rain—-can’t stop its happenings 
The power and strength —-all ——-so——ravishing 
No heights——depth—- or lengths—-never limiting
Day or night——anytime ——nothing is more certain 
It’s what you hear and how you feel —-that—- interpreting
Close your eyes and free your mind—-what are you picturing
Harmony as we evolve —-and that is —-everything 
that is —-everything

I find moments when the music isn’t inside of me
But I’m inside of the music floating around free
Relaxing and moving—-come on follow me 
Step inside—-Feel the vibe—it’s almost heavenly 
Warm and deep—-take the leap—a total odyssey 
Free your mind —-let’s unwind——and find the frequency
Free your mind —-let’s unwind——and find the frequency

Come on where you been—— the challenge is within 
Again it all like ——letting go and floating in the wind
Sunshine and rain—-can’t stop its happenings 
The power and strength —-all ——-so——ravishing 
No heights——depth—- or lengths—-never limiting
Day or night——anytime ——nothing is more certain 
It’s what you hear and how you feel —-that—- interpreting
Close your eyes and free your mind—-what are you picturing
Harmony as we evolve —-and that is —-everything 
that is —-everything

The western civilised world

Lost Mist - Edit (from Wolfweeds)

Bit of an odd patchwork this one… 

Some lyrics...

My love the times we had
looking back
in a flash
it's over
Blink, and you'll miss it

Remember when they were little kids
on our hips reminisce
and it's gone now
and you miss it

it's just another modest moment passing

There it goes
it's gone already
it's all given and taken

Here it comes
are you ready?
take it come what may

Wouldn't even change a single day
I wouldn't have it any other way

Where Did The Time Go? (Synth Noodlings!)

When i heard this beautiful and wonderful instrumental, the lyrics came out of nothing... like they were already written and waiting to be harvested.

Summer Fools

Two fools, you and me,
Summer fools
We believed
Summer love
We believe
That the summer
will last a lifetime
endlessly

Summer fools, you and me
Like a split second
Can last an eternity

The sunrays warm our face,
Seawaves washing up and down,
This paradise this place
It feels like time erased every trace of summer love

el tiempo borrará todo rastro de amor de verano

summer fools (collab: The Bird Inside)

5:15 The Angels Have Gone (David Bowie cover)

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS semi hollow body electric guitar, seed idea
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums 
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 organ
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar and additio0nal mastering
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Squier Custom Telecaster electric guitar processed through a Line 6 interface to sound like a synth, mix, and production
Eclectic Collective -- composition
This song started around the New Year holiday, when Josh was playing around with a looper beat on his bass. He came up with the bass line and structure for it before turning it over the the rest of the Eclectic Collective to work with. 
  Ken was first up, giving the beat its due as a real drummer, and making it his own, expertly, as always. JJ was up next with his dynamic, lush organ, propping up the groove and adding sonic flavor throughout. Stephen came through after JJ with his foundatoinal, gritty, groovy guitar. It was sitting there ripe for a melody at this point, so Josh heard and added a melody vaguely inspired by the Simpson's theme and added it with his electric guitar. Tez wrapped the whole thing up with the exciting "synth" part you hear in the middle with his custom Tele, which he processes through a Line 6 interface.
  Once it was in the bag, Tez did the honors of producing and mixing it for us, and he did so exactly as we wanted it.
  This is an example of a song Josh started with a groove and set loose on the rest of the band. It is also a good example of what happens when we're all moving towards the same vision. We hope you enjoy hearing this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

🧑‍🎤 Biografía y Significado

Phil Collins (n. 1951, Londres), ya famoso como baterista y cantante de Genesis y como solista en los 80, compuso esta canción inspirado por la creciente crisis de personas sin hogar en Londres y EE.UU. en los años 80.

El tema describe a un hombre que, al ver a una mujer pidiendo ayuda en la calle, elige ignorarla y seguir su camino. El mensaje central es la indiferencia social hacia los más vulnerables:
   •   “Es solo otro día en el paraíso” es una ironía amarga, denunciando cómo se normaliza la desigualdad.
   •   Fue la primera canción de Collins en abordar de forma tan explícita un problema social.

⸻

🌍 Impacto y Legado
   •   Se convirtió en una de las canciones más reconocibles de Phil Collins y un himno de conciencia social en la música pop.
   •   Fue versionada por varios artistas, entre ellos Brandy y Ray J (2001), cuya interpretación también alcanzó gran popularidad.
   •   Hoy sigue siendo considerada una de las canciones más importantes en el repertorio de Collins, y suele abrir debates sobre el papel de la música pop en la crítica social.

Phil Collins logra con una letra simple y repetitiva transmitir una idea demoledora: la indiferencia es tan violenta como la pobreza misma. La canción no busca contar una historia extensa, sino retratar un instante que expone un problema universal.

Another day in paradise

Bit of a mixed bag of styles and genres…
consistently amateur and homemade though… and just for the fun of it!

Half the songs here are just me noodling away on my own… (using garageband on my ipad, headphones, and a couple of cheap old guitars).

…the other half are recorded during very occasional jam sessions with some lovely talented old friends, who bring my song ideas to life, spontaneously, usually one-take, having never heard them before.

hope you enjoy a song or two,

Kelvin

(by the way, I know I'm really not any good at mixing, mastering, production etc... I don't have any equipment or knowhow! ... so I think all these tunes will sound better on headphones 👍 cheers)
