Relax. Even a short trip down memory lane calls for a cool head, an objective fair-minded witness, so you don't get stuck in a deadend. Best thing about a visit, besides deciding to take it easy, is finding buried treasure in the bins at the curb. Like a poet's book whose sage words advised, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” A pleasant detour reveals lessons learned and a resolve to head back to the Highway because moments are still under construction.

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– second psychedelic electric guitar, production, and mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-organ



This song is the first The Eclectic Collective has done with Mark, and we all had a great time making it with him. This song started with Mark, who is a bass player's bass player, giving his raw bass track to Ken, who brought it to the group. Ken laid down his exciting drums to match Mark's bass line before anything else happened, though. Once we had a rhythm section, JJ laid down his dancing electric piano. Once that was in place, Josh laid down the organ. Then it was time for the guitars, played electrifyingly by both Tez and Stephen. Tez plays throughout most of the song, and Stephen added his part towards the end. Stephen also mixed this for us expertly, as always. If you have a beverage in your hands, you might want to set it down. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

More dreams! Will I ever wake up? I mean, before that time I open my eyes and hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant," or (God forbid) the reverse. Actually, this is a workout for my new AmpliTube tonex pedal.

There's an earlier version of this with me singing.   If you scroll down far enough, you will be able to see why I said I couldn't really sing this song the way it sounds in my head.

Thanks to Solaria, this is more like it.

Lyrics:
Hey little bluebird I wrote you a song
I'll play the music, if you sing along
I don't know the lyrics, but I know the tune
If you can wing it, we'll play for the moon

Birds of a feather are never alone
We'll be together singing our song
Hey little bluebird, don't fly away
A song is in the air today

Eileen, My Nana and Aileen whom I've started working with musically are inspiring this song...
Finish for 2025 Album

My Nana gave me my first ever piano lesson. I remember it like a video. in this song I used the speed finger/thumb cross over technique she showed me early on. I think of her "Every time" I do it 😊

-try add slide guitar for a change

Lyrics

So she answers,
All the time,
Gone from here,
But still shining down.
It's her presence,
Everyday.
A photograph,
Eternal memory
With you Eyes so Lean
You see my clean... 

The perfect human form
Words can't describe that
Warm, Beautiful, Kind ,Brave, In tune, In time,
Such care
My favourite line 

Call your clean
Prove and grieve
Presence is forever when you remember 

Remember her
Remember him
Remember them
Feel their good clense

Remember her
Remember him
Remember them
Remember everyone

This an another one of those semi-live recordings. We took an initial iPhone recording of mine that was meant to be a simple test run and decided to keep it as the base to which Nat added her lovely harmony vocals and piano. It’s a very gentle, quiet love song that expresses how our deeply personal core is really one with nature, with God, where only the truest of spirits can find a home to share in love. The pine trees know and the dawn reveals such truths.

Lyrics: WANTING

What I want is simple 
As stand the swaying pines
So quietly a symbol
Of this heart of mine
Reaching for the sunlight
To gain the heavens’ view
And when each storm expires
Will solemn watch renew

Yes, simple is my compass
It steadies on one light
It quiets the presumptuous
Withstands the darkest night
And deep within my wanting
I hear the pine trees sway
A call so low and haunting
To watch you slip away

Yes, I know well my longing
I watch, and there’s the sound
Of stars that rest with dawning
As the sunshine comes around
The warming of my inner-most
With gray and green and blue
Wanting is no more a ghost
The pine trees sing of you

Wanting

I just want to say that not much would have been done here without the encouragement from really great and talented people here in the SoundCloud community.  Thank you.
