I dared to try my hand at a "Lullaby". The piece was created with Cubase 12 and some VST. I hope you like it. If so, I'm looking forward to your comments  - if you haven't fallen asleep ;-)

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too.
Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well.
JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.
This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too.

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see

Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:

Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you feeling about all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Just a walk in the dark

A simple Wowlelujah
A simple Halelujah!

Hey!

Wowlelujah (The Eclectic Collective)

Dear friends - birds are cool! Love them!
This song  may be a bit weird!
This picture is from Simrishamn (in the south east of Sweden), which is rich in Herring gulls, Swallows and Red Kites, and some Swans.

Marvellous

It’s marvellous to see the swallows in the sky
their acro batic skills high up there impress me so
I just sit there watching their movements  in the sky
I wish that I could fly like those birds       
and to reach the clouds    
I want to fly before I die


It's annoying  to hear  the noise from  the birds
their howling in the middle of the night when I will sleep
makes me so mad and I start mumbling to my wife
she tells me turn around and put on Your earmuffs
they are early riser
they distribute their morning food


It’s the herring gulls who live on the roofs beside our home
their lives are insecure since red kites glide over them
and they hoover right above the balcony of our home 
it’s lovely to see when the sun shines through their wings
it’s a magical sight
I can see why the gulls are scared

Marvellous

The only symbol or Emoji I used before becoming active on social media was the heart and happy face.  I have since expanded my knowledge at least 500%! However, I would rather write or say what I'm feeling, and I don't like the guessing game when texting with others.  BUT, I do have a favorite Emoji, Sparkles!  I love the overarching meaning of celebration, excitement, joy, happiness, love of life, and gratitude.  I also love pairing sparkles with the heart (my second favorite Emoji) to mean a deeper feeling of admiration and love.  When I started to create this piece, the tones and melody sparkled with shimmering magic.  The style of Impressionism is just that! I hope you love the sparkle too!
