Why is this work, with its suspenseful tone and structure, not played on the radio, even though it matches the video so well? When I listen to your music, I enjoy connecting it to the various visions in my head. What kind of feeling would I get if this song was played together with a commercial video for children's sweets? I love fresh music.

@user-936947521 Wow, interesting. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. 😊

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)

In den Straßen dieser Zeit
Weht ein Wind der Dunkelheit
(weht so leise, weht so kalt)
Demokratie verblasst so schnell
Wie ein Bild, das schnell zerfällt
(schwindet leise, schwindet bald)

November 2024
Die Kälte kriecht durch Mark und Bein
Fast alles war klar und eindeutig
Wird nun zu grauem Dämmerschein

Freiheit stirbt mit leisem Klang
(stirbt so leise)
Nicht mit Donnerhall und Zwang
(stirbt so sacht)
Was wir liebten jahrelang
Schwindet in der Novembernacht
(in der kalten Novembernacht)

Neue Worte, alte Macht
"Modernisierung" über Nacht
(Leere Masken, falscher Schein)
Hüllen unsre Wahrheit ein

Der Ozean vergisst seinen Tanz
(Die Wissenschaft schreit stumm)
Wir tauschen unsrer Freiheit Glanz
Für falsche Ordnung um

Freiheit stirbt mit leisem Klang
(stirbt so leise)
Nicht mit Donnerhall und Zwang
(stirbt so sacht)
Was wir liebten jahrelang
Schwindet in der Novembernacht
(in der kalten Novembernacht)

Und die letzte freie Stimme
(Flüstert in der Dunkelheit)
Von Demokratie und Freiheit
Die wir einst besaßen

Die wir schweigend sterben ließen

Die wir schweigend sterben ließen!

English translation:
In the streets of this time
A wind of darkness is blowing
(blowing so softly, blowing so cold)
Democracy fades so quickly
Like a picture that quickly decays
(fading away quietly, fading away soon)

November 2024
The cold creeps through your bones
Almost everything was clear and unambiguous
Now it becomes a gray haze

Freedom dies with a soft sound
(dies so softly)
Not with thunder and force
(dies so gently)
What we loved for years
Fades in the November night
(in the cold November night)

New words, old power
“Modernization” overnight
(Empty masks, false appearances)
Shroud our truth

The ocean forgets its dance
(Science cries out silently)
We exchange our freedom's shine
For a false order

Freedom dies with a soft sound
(dies so softly)
Not with thunder and force
(dies so gently)
What we loved for years
Fades in the November night
(in the cold November night)

And the last free voice
(whispers in the darkness)
Of democracy and freedom
We once possessed

We silently let die

We silently let die!

An early Christmas present in my stocking!
Recently I awoke to a SC link in my mailbox.  What is this??!! To my utter delight, Oddrun, Arne & Peter surprised me with this wonderful musical gift.  The original piano track was to be a "someday" project between Oddrun and me, but this is triple the fun!  Thank you Oddrun, Arne and Peter not only for remodeling my orphan track, but more importantly for this wonderful gift of friendship.

Evenings With You

As usual…. you’re running late
How long can it take?
To run a brush through your hair, pull on some clothes?
You can talk ….. just look at your state
You made a big mistake
If you think you’re going out with me, dressed in those!
Why…. these are nearly brand new
Give a decade or two
Might concede their first wash is a tad overdue
My dear sweetheart
They’re simply falling apart
Rather, I have to say, just like you
Hmmm…let’s give the restaurant a miss,
Call this evening a day, waddaya say
We pull the blinds, chill the wine, book our sofa for two
Now there’s a plan…..kick off these shoes
Pan the dining out blues
Stayin’ in for …..evenings with you

…..evenings with you…..

Evenings With You. Oddrun, Arne, Peter & Debra

I played this song on the piano when I was learning, about 10 years ago now that I think of it. It was in an exercise book, which I still have copies of its pages. Strangely, no author is listed, and I tried looking them up with no luck. Maybe it's a folk song, who knows.

The Righteous Brothers were one of the most inspiring music acts to me growing up in the 60’s. I always dreamed of singing like Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield  and this song is one of their numerous classics of the era. Written by Cynthia Well and Barry Mann, I made a raw iPhone recording and simply added some harmony vocals, complete with living room noises and generally lo-fi ambience. But I thought it captured my passion for those times and those dreams of my younger days. Dedicated to the yellow roses...

Soul & Inspiration (Righteous Brothers cover)

As The Story Goes 150 BPM

Cast of Characters:
E Ruizzo-- @ruizzoidman21centurions -Manuel-- composition, lyrics, Squier Stratocaster electric guitar, vocals, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano, accordion, and horn
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Jose Ramirez nylon stringed flamenco style guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision Bass bass

This song began all the way back when Manuel was 16 and found love that summer with a girl named Carmen. He remembered her, though, and wrote this song about her all these years later. The title of the song means "Your name has the song," and the lyrics spell out the girl's charms using the letters of her name. Check out the lyrics and the translation below. 
  Using that inspiration, Manuel came up with the song structure and the vocal melodies to a rudimentary drum track with his electric guitar. He then asked Josh if the group would be interested in taking it on. Josh, never being one to refuse a challenging piece of music, and always on the lookout for interesting musicians with whom to collaborate, accepted his kind offer and created a project for the rest of the Eclectic Collecitve to join. He started the whole thing off by adding his bass, to which Ken added his innovative drums, to which Josh redid his bass, as is the typical process in the EC.
  Next up was JJ, who you'd think he'd grown up with Spanish music the way he added the horns, accordion, and piano. Then Stephen stepped in and added his psychedelic and intricate acoustic guitar to the stew. 
  It was all done, except for the mix at this point. Manuel did the honors, and did it very expertly. Stephen mastered it to give it more volume and dynamism, too, as he always does. 
  This was the first, but we hope not the last, time the EC has collaborated with Manuel, although we're all fans of the incredible music on his page. He was a true delight to work with, giving honest, encouraging feedback and helping us shape his song to meet his vision. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Otiginal lyrics by E Ruizzo:

TU NOMBRE TIENE LA CANCIÓN  /  YOUR NAME HAS THE SONG

Qué es una lágrima en el desierto?  /  What is a tear in the desert?
Cae sin ruido, se evapora y se olvida.  /  It falls without noise, evaporates and is forgotten.
No tiene tiempo de brillar, su vida  /  It has no time to shine, its life
es corta y su camino tan incierto…  /  is short and its path so uncertain...

Ce del calor del desierto y su sol,  /  ‘C’ for the heat of the desert and its sun,
a del adiós por el que lloré tanto;  /  ‘a’ for the farewell for which I cried so much;
erre del río que forma mi llanto;  /  ‘r’ for the river formed by my crying;
eme de miedo, de magia y de amor.  /  ‘m’ for fear, for magic and for love.

E de esperanza, de espacio rosado,  /  ‘E’ for hope, for pink space,
de espina clavada, de suelta emoción;  /  for stuck thorn, for loose emotion;
ene de noche de un tiempo pasado.  /  ‘n’ for night of a past time.

Carmen, tu nombre tiene la canción  /  Carmen, your name has the song
de todo aquello que has significado:  /  of all that you have meant:
Carmen de luz, de sonrisa y de adiós.  /  Carmen of light, of smile and of goodbye.

Tu Nombre Tiene La Cancion-Eclectic Collective w/E. Ruizzo

Good Things In Life

I'm an avant-garde musician. I like to experiment with software, instruments, and everyday objects when creating on a song.

Music is my latest artistic passion; aside from being deeply invested in making music, I create digital art, drawings, paintings, mixed-media pieces, photography, photomanipulations, poetry, and short stories. All of which can be found on my DeviantArt: Leehon.

Thank you for reading and listening.
