Old recording it may be but this has such a wonderful atmosphere...a great blast from your archive

The Dreaming is one of my favourite albums. This is very different in style and sound but absolutely has that spirit of being different and original. Love how it is so unsettling but beautiful! 👍👏

Love the sound of this older track, its warmer which is just my bag. The music has the feel of a Lisa Germano song. Great how you use your voice. Wondeful work.

Love the vocal style & difinitive quality & tone. Awesome music & vocals

I like this 'sea shanty' in its dark essence of brooding gulls.

Thirty-six years later, in 753, Abeno Nakamaro was allowed to return to Japan.

However, the ship was wrecked by a typhoon.
, washed ashore in modern-day Vietnam.
He returned to Chang'an via Vietnam, where he ended his life of 73 years.

The Journey of Life

Lyrics:
Of all the things I've been hearing,
Hazy dreams somehow clearing.
I'll just keep doing what I'm doing,
Regardless of your past indiscretions.
Amazing things, not all are seen.
Some are meant to be confusing.
My Darling Little Monster.
Got your claws deep inside the cookie jar.
I can hear you raising the bar.
I can see you, you're not far away.
Might even be, closer than I think.
Might even hide, somewhere inside.
Above it all the piper keeps on playing.
The perfect notes, a songful soothsaying.
Lining up the mice and men are trailing,
Plans of pleasing, meaningful attaining.
Cunning visions blindly led sleepwalking.
Revealing goals, bemused they keep talking.
Much like you My darling little Starling.
Oh the songs you sing. 
Leaving your disease the fruit has fallen down.

My Darling Little Starling

ANARS ! Quand tu te réveilles en te sentant vieux

Lyrics:
Adjusting the aim, changing the mind.
Serving the dream, seeking to find.
Transmuting views, a genius, the bond.
Messiah, a muse, divine fools. (fools abscond)
Swan song release, the pearl and the wave.
The throng and disease, Wheel of life and nave. (wheel of life)
The eye of the storm, fighting illusion.
The shadow of form, the hermit seclusion.
Occlusions that seal, cover the eyes.
A cycle reveals, a giant surprise.

Divine Fools

In memory of Bob Marley

Before The Sakura Fall

C'est le moment de rassembler nos forces pour créer le monde de demain 
(Traduit plus bas)
-----
I woke up from a dream where everything was blue
And I thought it felt so real, somehow it must be true
I've wandered aimlessly all the nights and days 
Under this azure sky, there were so many ways

No, I don't care what people say
I'd rather live a dream than stay
Stuck in this glue
Moaning every day, waiting for something new
I'll let the skeptic cynics sneer
Because I've found my purpose clear
In this crazy new world
In this chrysalis world

I'll fight the same old fools, I will show the way
I'll be joined by many more who've have enough of grey
In a world where forests whisper wise secrets to me
We'll cling tightly to the trees, and we'll swallow the key
 
But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

So I need you guy
We can't say goodbye

I wanna wake up every day
Without some bad news, if I may 
We can move on
And teach it to our child he'll teach it to his son
Re-learn to look at the ocean 
Overflowing with emotion
Remember it's fragile
It all depends on our will 

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

So I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
 
"I was standing on the cliff, looking out to the sea
The sky reflected on the waves 
Creating many colours, between green and blue
Beauty washed over me and without realising it
I began to smile"

----
Je me suis réveillé d'un rêve où tout était bleu
Et j'ai pensé que c'était si réel, que ça devait être vrai.
J'ai erré sans but toutes les nuits et tous les jours 
Sous ce ciel azur, il y avait tant de chemins

Non, je me fiche de ce que les gens disent
Je préfère vivre un rêve plutôt que de rester
Coincé dans cette colle
Se lamentant chaque jour, attendant quelque chose de nouveau
Je laisserai les cyniques sceptiques ricaner
Parce que j'ai trouvé mon but clair
Dans ce nouveau monde fou
Dans ce monde chrysalide

Je combattrai les mêmes vieux imbéciles, je montrerai le chemin
Je serai rejoint par beaucoup d'autres qui en ont assez du gris
Dans un monde où les forêts me chuchotent de sages secrets
Nous nous accrocherons aux arbres et nous avalerons la clé.
 
Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Alors j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir

Je veux me réveiller chaque jour
Sans mauvaises nouvelles, si je peux me permettre 
Nous pouvons aller de l'avant
Et l'enseigner à notre enfant, il l'enseignera à son fils
Réapprendre à regarder l'océan 
Débordant d'émotions
Se souvenir qu'il est fragile
Tout dépend de notre volonté 

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
Nous ne pouvons pas nous dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Alors j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
 
"Je me tenais sur la falaise, regardant la mer.
Le ciel se reflétait sur les vagues 
Créant de nombreuses couleurs, entre le vert et le bleu
La beauté m'a envahi et sans m'en rendre compte
J'ai commencé à sourire"

We Can't Say Goodbye

Cast of Characters:
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth and original seed 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– Guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass guitar
The Eclectic Collective – composition

 This song began with JJ, as many of our songs do, who composed the outline on the keys, drums, and bass. He then let everyone else in on it immediately. Ken was first up to bat by laying his always cunning drums in there. After he had a beat to work with, Josh used his tree trunk of a five-string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, Tez and Stephen both laid their magical guitars in there. Once we had it all in the can, Stephen used his powers of production to give us a great mix.
  This one came together relatively quickly, which is a good sign that we're all enthusiastic about what we're creating. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Mellow Travels (The Eclectic Collective)

An old track, (quite a few years old), very badly recorded...

The dragging of the day
as the salt sea wails
against a white and endless sky
impaled again

Roaming, floating 
I don't know why
On a ragged tide now
As mad gulls fly

Scorched to the depths now
A small town wails
and old mistakes
that have been made
wade down again

Floating, roaming
I don't know why
Adrift on a ragged tide now
As mad gulls...cry...

Mad Gulls

Little Lone Waltz
