check their ways

My daughter is now eleven but when she was 4 or 5 years old, I was trying to learn Spanish (but then life got in the way) and as we brushed our teeth every night, I would sing a silly song “Abre la boca, lava tus dientes blancos blancos muy limpios”.  I’m sure it’s a terrible translation but recently the song popped into my head and this weekend, and I thought it might be fun to attempt to turn it into a complete song.

When I was a kid, I really wish I’d listened to my parent’s advice
They said brush your teeth carefully or someday you’ll pay the price
I was trying to learn a little bit of Spanish, so I thought I’ d write my daughter a little song
I’m not sure it’s grammatically correct and I bet the pronunciation is wrong
Abre la boca, lava tus dientes blancos blancos muy limpios
Open your mouth, wash your teeth, white, white very clean 
I know you’re just a little kid and it’s hard for you to comprehend
But if you don’t brush your teeth every day, there’s lots of Novocain around the bend
I really hope you take heed of the lessons that I’ve learned 
If you eat too much candy like Icharus flying to close to the sun, you’ll get burned
Abre la boca, lava tus dientes blancos blancos muy limpios
Open your mouth, wash your teeth, white, white very clean 
First you need a filling and then you need a crown
Every year your dental health keeps going down
You sit in that chair, and it’s drill baby drill
The candy tastes good but it’s a bitter pill
They say in the future we’ll regrow our pearly whites
But until that day comes, you’d better take my advice 
Abre la boca, lava tus dientes blancos blancos muy limpios

Abre La Boca (Brush Your Teeth)

Everyone will eventually decay...
I put those feelings into it!!🌳🍃🌳

And decay...

He walked slowly,
through the dirty,
dark streets of the village;

suddenly,
he stopped and
sat down on the curb.

His face was tired,
dirty, undernourished.
His eyes were wide,
staring into space.

Who will believe your story one day?
This is a gesture to your memory...

With a vacant expression.
The desire to escape was great,
but the strength was little, very little.

Minutes passed,
perhaps hours,
who could say?

He didn't notice the people
who passed by indifferently and quickened their pace

Who will believe your story one day?
This is a gesture to your memory...

However,
he understood that the moment had come:
then,
he struggled to his feet,
he raised his eyes to the sky and
fell to the ground,
 smiling.

Tomorrow will be another day
And he has moved away

Tell me then, who will believe your story?
Perhaps one day I will drink
To your memory

Solitudine.mp3

My sound is appealing to me, but I can't structure the sounds in a good order. Like ocean waves. If it was at least like the waves of a lake or river, I'd be able to structure my music as tasteful waves of sound.

I want to play among the waves of sound(329)

This song has the theme of darkness and light, and at the end it develops to the point where the light of hope shines down forever. May the Infinite light, the light of hope, gently and beautifully illuminate everything.

The lyrics are as follows:
幾多の壁を超えて
癒えない夜を超えて

翼を　　
いまあの空へとはばたけ

光のように強く　研ぎ澄まされた
愛は心は　この翼に響く

あぁ 時のように風に乗せて
さぁ この光を届けよう　いつまでも

嵐の闇が来ても
（輝け　いま）
漆黒の闇が来ても
（輝け　いま　はばたけ）
わたしは新しい空へ翔ける

光のように強く　研ぎ澄まされた
愛は心は　この翼に響く
あぁ 時のように　風に乗せて
さぁ この光を届けよう　どこまでも

永遠の光が強く輝く
全てを照らして美しい画を描く

この暗闇を　寂しさを
忘れたいから　光る流線になる

誰より強く　研ぎ澄まされた
あぁ　私はこの翼を信じる

羽ばたけ　どこまでも
輝け　いつまでも


I hope this song reaches your heart. 
Thank you so much for listening.

This is an original track.
I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself.Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花) using Synthesizer V.

Note: this began as a shitty live recording that I overdubbed some extra (louder) vocals and two separate djembe tracks. It's what it is. I assure you some sexier things are in the works. If you care.

I sit on my porch watching the cars roll by
thinkin' about you, and the last time that we said goodbye.
When will I see you again?
I want to discover if this is real or pretend.
Either way, my darling, I feel like I've been blessed
for our stars to align amidst all of the mess
that we've made of our lives. Perhaps, now, for the best.
Not only satisfied, you make me strive to be my best.
So, let's give this a try. 
And, let me be honest...
The first time we locked eyes, my darlin', my feet were swept.
Be we shall let.

be we shall let

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass and Fender Stratocaster
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – electric piano 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- percussion, VST flute, and production editing
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl --  vocals and lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song began more than a year ago, when Josh created a song out of a looper beat with his four string fretless bass. It sat on the shelf until a few weeks ago, when he shared it with JJ, who was in creative mode one Saturday evening. Josh had actually forgotten that he'd added a bass line to it, and thought he was just passing on a looper beat for JJ to play with. 
  However, JJ heard it, and was so excited that added his magical electric piano part, making it sound like a real song, instead of just drums and a bass. Ken also heard some magic in here, because he came up with his own brilliant beat to replace the looper that was used in for the seed. Mark was next to throw in, adding the striking drum pattern breakdown, and the thrilling flute solo, as well. Tez came in shortly after, adding his thrilling guitar to the mix. After everyone had added their parts, Josh came back and added two guitar parts, the simple low end line, as well as the high strumed triads. At this stage, Mark did some editing, as it is in his skill set, and made it less dense and easier to listen to. 
  Now that the song was musically complete, out newest member, Carl, dropped the amazing vocals you hear, singing his original lyrics. After Carl was done sprinkling his magic in it, we needed an able producer to bring out the magic of the recordings. Good thing we have a trained producer to do the job in Stephen, who mixed and mastered it superbly, as always. 
  This is Eclectic Collective's first fore into the afrobeat genre, although a few of us are really big fans already, and Josh has a few other originals in this genre buried on his page, as well. As always, we all enjoyed the process of hearing this one come together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:Juice our Jah
Chalice of chime
Shooting star
Great rhythm
There's blood in the brine

Suture Sun
Grand heaven high
'Some clan gone cruel
Needing collective eye

Eclectic host
Hoist our hale
Mused healing feast
Musical breeze as gale

Afro beat
Oh melody sweet
Beat afro
Show us where to go

Kalakuta Kingdom (Eclectic Collective)

“Last Son of Krypton” is a tribute to Superman, a character I grew up idolizing. As a kid, I’d fly around with a cape around my neck, completely immersed in the Donner movies that first sparked my love for the Man of Steel. When the recent cinematic version of Superman was announced, it felt like the character was finally returning to form after years of missteps. That excitement inspired me to write this song—not just as a fan, but as someone who hopes to one day tell my own Superman story on screen or on the page.

The track blends ethereal atmospheres, glitchy electronics, and booming Taiko drums with heavily auto-tuned vocals layered low in the mix. It’s cinematic, explosive, and uplifting—part EDM anthem, part dream pop ballad, part gospel-inspired score. It channels the heroic, alien, and almost divine qualities of Superman while keeping the energy alive with 8-bit chiptune textures and vaporwave undertones.

At its core, it’s about hope, belief, and the enduring power of an icon—the Man of Tomorrow soaring across generations.
