While I was thinking about what kind of song I should create, 
 I ended up finishing it. I can't clearly name the theme or the impression I had when listening to this song. However, for some reason I think acoustic jazz drums look good on it, so I published it.
 It seems like the fun part of the music has increased a little. 
 I would be happy if you could listen to it.

Only “passion” takes the lead (286)

Turbulent Times

In recent years I have the habit of converting poems into songs and here is one of them which is based on “Alone” by Edgar Allan Poe.  It was said that this poem was never published in his lifetime.  I think I first shared this song here about four years ago.  In this version, I enhanced the backing music and did the vocals all over again.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
From childhood's time I’ve not been
As others were, I have not seen
As others saw, I could not bring
My passions from a common spring

From the same source I've not taken
My sorrow, I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone
And all I loved, I loved alone

[CHORUS]
Then, in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still
The torrent or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
in its autumn tint of gold

From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by
From the thunder and the storm
And the cloud that took the form

Repeat Chorus

Cast of Characters:

Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement

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

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ and piano

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and rhythm guitar

cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris -- electric guitar

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass 

This song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm guitar, as well as his always solid, dynamic drums to it. In short order, Ken got the rest of the Eclectic Collective together on it, starting with Josh, who added his five string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Next up was JJ, who's keys, both organ and piano, can be heard livening the whole thing up. Then came Tez with his fiery ripping guitar fills. 

  We were all blown away, though, when Stephen added his equally ripping guitar fills as responses to Tez's parts. It really sounds like the two maestros are having a conversation. Not to be outdone, Chris sprinked some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning. 

  Of course, we needed a competent producer to pull the whole thing together for us, especially with all the different voices in the stew. That person was Stephen, who was able to wrangle all of us and make it sound coherent, like the expert producer he is. 

  We all really enjoy working on Steve's songs, although it's been a few months since we did one together.  It's been proven many times before that if,you start out with something good, you end up with some thing great. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:

I hope we ever meet x2
I hope to see you again
I hope to see you smile

I hope to be your friend x2
Hand in hand, hand in hand

Once again x3

I hope you shake my hand
On the boulevard
Gazing at the stars, gazing at the stars

I hope you ever be, a part of family
A comfort zone for me x2

To be around in everything I found
Please, please love me, forever being around

Hope you ever be, a part of me
Hope to touch your eyes, I hope to touch your love
One day

Hope We Ever Meet-Eclectic Collective

This song is a collaboration with Robec The Genius, it's an old jazz song that I co-wrote a while back, Robec wrote new lyrics for it and sang it beautifully. I thought it sounded great, Robec added a very smooth vocal and changed the melody so now we have a new song. I produced a video for it as well and is now posted on YouTube -  https://youtu.be/3hYOBgQcUzE
     So sit back, relax, have a drink or your choice of relaxing aide, cuddle with your favorite person or pet and let Robec and I serenade you tonight! 🥂

“THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU”

SOME DAYS AND SOME NIGHTS, I HAVE DREAMS OF WHAT WE COULD BE,
IN WAYS THAT FEEL RIGHT, I CAN TELL IT’S MEANT WHAT TO BE,
I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, 
THAT THERE’S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CREATE,  
JUST GO HOW IT SHOWS, 
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO CAN WAIT,             
    
YOU’RE TRAPPED IN MY MIND, EVERY DETAIL FROM HEAD TO YOUR TOE,
THEY SAY THAT LOVE IS BLIND, BUT THAT’S HOW YOU GLOW,
NO OTHER THAN YOU, NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL ME,
THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU,      

EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT, I THINK OF THE TIME,
YOU MAKE ME SO WEAK, HEART POUNDING TOO FAST,
BABY SAY THAT YOU’RE MINE, 
SEE YOU AWAY DOES SOMETHING TO ME,
THAT IT FEELS LIKE A CRIME,
LOCKED IN TOGETHER FROM DOWN TO THE ROOTS,
PLEASE DON’T YOU CUT THE VINE,

OH YOU’RE STILL IN MY MIND, EVERY DETAIL FROM HEAD TO YOUR TOE,
THEY SAY THAT LOVE IS BLIND, BUT THAT’S HOW YOU GLOW,
NO OTHER THAN YOU, NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL ME,
THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU,

3)  [LEAD]

OH YOU’RE STILL IN MY MIND,
EVERY DETAIL FROM HEAD TO YOUR TOE, 
THEY SAY THAT LOVE IS BLIND, BUT THAT’S HOW YOU GLOW,
NO OTHER THAN YOU, NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL ME,    
THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU,
NO OTHER THAN YOU, NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL ME,
THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU.
