Lyrics :
Rêves embrumés éphémères danses
Poussières de nuit voilées de silence
Dormir sur la Lune
Voleurs de vent  souffleurs de nuages
Flou d'amours denses à l'état sauvage
Dormir sur la Lune
Apprivoiser nos murmures
Abandonner nos armures 
Dormir sur la Lune
Caresser nos sensations
Effleurer nos émotions
Dormir sur la Lune
Nager sous l'eau delà des courants
Flotter de rives en rives en rêvant
Dormir sur la Lune 

Foggy dreams, ephemeral dances
Night dust veiled in silence
Sleeping on the moon
Cloud-blowing wind thieves
Blur of dense wild love
Sleeping on the Moon
Tame our whispers
Abandon our armor 
Sleeping on the Moon
Caressing our sensations
Touching our emotions
Sleeping on the Moon
Swim underwater beyond the currents
Floating from shore to shore dreaming
Sleeping on the Moon

Dormir sur la Lune   TRANSLATED

Improvisation Teil 3

Cast of Characters:
Mistermark – @user-432503709 – Mark – drums, VST upright bass, electric vibraphone, horns, high organ in the last section, percussion (shaker, hand claps), production, editing, mix, and composition
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Tele Thinline electric guitar and mastering
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, synthesizer
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – PRS semi hollow body electric guitar

This song began its life some 20 years ago recorded on Mark's old skool keyboard workstation as a bass line and drum beat, accentuated by a synth melody playing over some electric piano. It sat as that basic version until just recently, when Mark had gotten into horn arrangements, and wanted to try some out, thus creating the impetus for reviving this old tune. Plus, he wanted to get the Eclectic Collective to play the guitar and keys parts on it for a little extra jazzy pizzazz.

He turned it over to the rest of the EC gang with a pretty clear vision of what he wanted structurally. Stephen was first up, adding his driving guitar to the fist part of every verse. Josh deftly chimed in with the response line in every verse. JJ then came into the mix last and sprinkled his magic electric piano and other keys throughout. After all of our parts were in the can, Mark went to work dutifully editing and mixing what you hear as the final product. Stephen then did his pro mastering work on it to add a little bit more shine.

This was a lot of fun to put together. It doesn't feature all of the EC, but the other guys will be on many upcoming creations. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Clyde's Glide (with The Eclectic Collective)

Cast of characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), VST steel drums, vocals, lyrics, composition, production, mix     
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass

This song began with Mark, who fleshed out the entire thing, from the rhythm section, to the organ that you hear in there, to the lyrics and vocals, before he laid it on the rest of us. We all got a chuckle from the tongue in cheek humor of the lyrics, and were excited to work on a song about an anachronistic adventure of a soulful caveman. 
  Ken was first up with his version of the the beat, finding the soul in the rhythm. Josh was next up, of course, using his "normie" bass for the his version of the line. Once the rhythm section was in place, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, soulful e. piano to the mix. 
  Now that they had a solid foundation on which to play, Stephen and Tez added their guitar magic to the mix. Stephen with the rhythm and the fills, and Tez with the ripping solo at the end. Mark also added the festive VST steel drums that you hear throughout at this point, too. Now that the music was laid down, he perfected his awesome vocals to complete it.
  It was in the can at that point, and just needed Mark to throw a pro sounding mix on it. Then, Stephen mastered it in his always expert way to finish it off.
  Mark wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song (a la Al Green), which he did, all on his own. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song, both of which you can find on Mark's page. Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions. 
  This was a real team effort, even though it's really Mark's baby. The Eclectic Collective has many different methods of creating music. This one was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by mistermark:

Walking through this concrete jungle
I’m just trying to stay out of the way 
just me and ol’ Rex, my furry companion 
we been fielding funky looks all day
then somebody saw me kicking rocks with my bare toes
he said buddy have you lost your way?
then I sat right down and I started to cry
and this is what I had to say…

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say 

Sittin’ in my man cave watching the clock crawl
there's nothing good on my tv 
my big grubby hands can’t flip thru the channels
i cant even hold a cup of tea
I was chatting on the phone making plans with a lady
a little bit of company
but my date split QUICK when I opened the door
man I wonder what’s wrong with me

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break now
the ladies say I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

The big city’s fine but something’s on my mind
I feel a little incomplete
I miss my old club, for rustling up some grub
and the touch of grass below my feet
I’ve been around longer than all your creation, 
like the rocks and trees and streams
I wanna get back home, where forever I’ll roam
even if it’s only in my dreams

I’m a caveman
I can’t catch a break 
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

I’m a caveman, 
must be come kinda mistake
everybody says I’m so passé 
well I’m a - a caveman
It’s too much to take
but I’m gunna get back some day

Caveman (Eclectic Collective)

Cast of characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST steel pan drums, backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), vocals, lyrics, composition, production, mix     
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass

This song began with Mark, who wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song, which he did, singing & playing all of the instrument parts on his own at first. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song - this one (the group remix), and the original Soul version (Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions).

Ken was first up with his vibrant interpretation of Mark's original drum track. Josh was next up, replacing Mark's bass line with a more upbeat bopping take. Once the rhythm section was in place, Stephen found the perfect guitar motif which served as both rhythm guitar, and the soulful lead that suited both versions of the song.

With a solid foundation on which to play, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, rhythmic and playful electric piano to the mix. Tez added his guitar magic, ripping solo parts in the instrumental sections, and at the end. It was at this point that the decision was made to go with two versions, so Ken added some rhythmic percussion to the mix, and Mark also tested out his newly acquired VST steel drums to emphasize the slight Caribbean vibe that was emerging. With Mark completing mixing duties on both versions, it was now time for Stephen to master it in his always expert way to finish it off.

This was a real team effort,  demonstrating The Eclectic Collective's many different methods of creating music. It was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Caveman (the Eclectic Collective mix)

Dear friends, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It can be noted that many people become extra kind and friendly during Christmas time, even if not everyone celebrates Christmas. Perhaps a ceasefire can be implemented in the Middle East - It has been talked about! Now, one can only hope that Mr. President Putin's heart will be transformed from stone to gold!

Lyrics in English
A Heart of Gold

Now comes the most beautiful time
you can see when the birds fly to us
they know that we now - have a heart of gold

When you meet someone in the town square
you can see that they bow and bow
and they smile at me - they have a heart of gold

You can hear that those who rule the world now
have softened and they say that now there will be peace
you can hope that they - have a heart of gold

Both mistress and master are friendly now
they give a meat bone to the dog and the cat runs free
everyone notices right now - that Christmas has come here

Lyrics in Swedish
Ett Hjärta av Guld

Nu kommer den vackaste tiden hit
man kan få se när fåglarna flyga till oss
de vet att vi nu - har ett hjärta av guld

Då man möter någon på stadens torg
man kan få se att dom niger och bugar sig
och dom ler mot mig - dom har ett hjärta av guld

Man kan höra att dom som styr världen nu
har mjuknat upp och dom säger att nu ska det bli fred
man kan hoppas att dom - har ett hjärta av guld

Både matte och husse är vänliga nu
dom ger ett köttben till hunden och katten springer fritt
alla märker just nu - att julen har kommit hit

Ett Hjärta av Guld (A Heart of Gold - A Christmas Carol) - 2024-12-22 12.17

Re written 2025

Lyrics

Worse, you still find this funny?
All you caring about is money.
Are we losing Truth?

What once was will be again.
Face the power to cause equilibrium.
Gaza Goliath boss!
Many more shoes aimed at heads
No more on this Earth we said!

Why war
Theres peace by this rivers side
We've passed all points
We must turn back?
Retreat your attack
Soon the mid east won't be so black
A little more inside
More better man
The gift of life for all we can
Equilibrium
Whom who choose need not win

Who may save a new way....
Who may save this beauty

Equilibrium
Those who choose need not win



Notes
Ok going back to Equilibrium. Time to make it present.

This song will always be for our Iraqi friends. At the time it was written in 2008 it was a pine for peace in the middle east in general. It's so disgusting how we allow the power in this world rape that region for resources and then propaganda paints it in a supposed 'light' of freedom for them they 'need' and don't have because they have different values and beliefs then us. Any conflict power needs to justify always plays on the masses ignorance and naivety towards the region and it's people unfortunately setting a tone of most western society not giving a shit about what happens there. 

Well I'm transferring the lyrics to where they need to be projected now. Gaza

RTE news : Doctor living in Meath loses family members in airstrikes

http://www.rte.ie/news/leinster/2025/0318/1502759-palestinian-doctor-meath/

In last weeks air strikes Dr Mahmoud lost two of his nieces and two of his nephews and their Mother, his Sister, is badly injured in hospital trying to absorb the fact that her four kids are dead. Sending all of their family love and light 🕯️ I listened to Dr Mahmoud on the radio.... They were qualified as best as they could be and had aspirations to find success somewhere in their careers somewhere in the world. They talked about coming to Ireland 🥺.... Not now 🤯 4 innocent souls murdered because BN wants to hold onto power in Israel... There is zero justification for this war and in.fact I cannot believe Israel is accepting that Israel allowed the October attacks to happen. I believe they allowed it on purpose 

RTE news : Is Netanyahu waging war in Gaza to hold onto power?

http://www.rte.ie/news/world/2025/0322/1503433-israel-politics-analysis/

BN should have been in jail before the war and should be in jail now...

Sorting him out with justice is big healing that has to happen...

Peace and love to everywhere on Earth 🙏🏽

Please & Thanks

La nuit, la colline a du Spleen - Mathieu Torres Trio - Video in description

"Eye of Thought"

Dropping from the eye of thought,
a conciouss reality that was never born,
holding all this life in my hands,
i thought it was better to show them to dance,

Taking down this trip in the slope,
what you had known was always been told,
looking for someone to rest,
the thoughts in your head that were never blessed,

dropping from the eye of thought.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YALXi2ZO8YA

Eye of Thought (Lyrics on Description)

LYRICS
I keep dreaming these sweet dreams
I make them last all night
This time it could be so special
I couldn't take my eyes off you
Keep dreaming these sweet dreams of you

And I know we've just met 
And I could be wrong
I can still taste your cinnamon lipstick
Never thought I'd fall in this quick
I keep dreaming those sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

Instrumental

Keep dreaming these sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

You stole my breath when I first saw you
Now all I want to do is hold you
I've never known a love like this
The magic of our first kiss
And I keep dreaming those sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

Keep dreaming these sweet dreams
Make them last all night
This time it could be so special
I couldn't take my eyes off you
Keep dreaming these sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
