AURORAS

Auroras

From the Album: "Arrhythmia & Blues" 2024

Oh well, the sign on the door
Says she opens up at 6AM everyday
But then she saunters in at 8:15
And everybody seems okay
You could some order eggs over easy
(extra greasy)
The hash brown scramble
She's not a good cook
But her beauty is hard to handle
I'm falling in love
At Rosies's Cafe
Falling in love every single day

I stumbled in there late one night
After a , uh, let's just call it a little fender "bender"
If you will
She brought me a cup of instant coffee
Mixed with Pepsi
And a slice piece of pie
I looked into her chestnut eyes
I fell into a dream...

Flap jacks
That look like mud flaps
Home fries with gravy
That would sink the navy
Her hash brown scramble
Her good looks are hard to handle
I'm falling in love
At Rosie's Cafe
Every single day

Rosie's Cafe

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

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

J.J. Terrell--@j-j-terrell—JJ—organ

This song began as an acoustic guitar and vocals stem written and performed by Steve. He sent it to me, and I added the undulating staccato bass line, with the help of Ken's always well-suited drums. We went back and forth a couple of times, as is our process, until it clicked. Tez added some really dynamic leads and fills throughout, and Stephen filled in the rest of the electric guitar in a Keith/Ronnie kind of way, which is very tasteful. JJ then added some perfectly complimentary organ. Finally, Ken pleasantly surprised us with the low vocal harmonies, which were spot on. 
  Stephen also mixed and produced this one for us. He's brilliant behind the board, and we're lucky to have him aboard. This one came together in a matter of a relatively short period of a fortnight, which is rare for the Eclectic Collective. But, when something is hot and already put together, it comes quickly. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Lyrics:
Fallin’
Wandering aimless
Couldn’t shoot straight
No ability
Not much to say
There was no sign of me
Good times, bad times
Leaving out the sad times
Easily
That’s what they’re telling me
Mend or break
Looking over rooftops
Coming to a full stop
Suddenly
On a sad height
Raging endlessly
Breakline, beeline
Picking up the freeline
Easily
Follow my way
Leavin’ the fast lane
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2
And I – I’ve been going my way
One more time, only today 2x
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2

 Tenderly
 Words by Martin Jones

You may try to hide
What you're really feeling deep inside
It's an instinct we all seem to share
Signs posted ..... limited access here

You may have your secrets
And that's really quite alright
But your body language cannot hide
what you're holding back inside

You might as well admit it
Cause we both know you did it
Tell me that you lied to me
That you're falling so in love
You've fallen in love with me

You can do it tenderly
Whisper in my ear
I won't tell anyone
Nobody has to hear
Do it tenderly

On occasions when you hold my hand
I begin to understand
Although your lips don't say it
Your heart won't let you fake it
I'm yours .... I wanna make you mine

Now you may have your secrets
and it's really quite alright
But your body language cannot hide 
What you're holding so deep inside

You might as well admit it
Cause we both know you did it
Tell me that you lied to me
That you're falling so in love
You've fallen in love with me
But you should do it tenderly

Tenderly you should let me know
Do I stay or should I go?
I don't know but I've been told 
Somewhere there's a heart of gold
And I found that heart in you
Tell me what it is you think I should do

Tenderly you should let me know
Cause I'm talking straight to you...  from my soul
I love you
Said I love you

I might as well admit it
Cause we both know I did it
Now I've got to tell the truth
Cause I'm  falling so in love
I've fallen in love with you
Let's love each other tenderly

Please have mercy!

Tenderly (A collaboration: Alpha Roots, Aleck Rand & Ver2xif) (RIP Alpha Roots my friend)

As a child growing up in Liverpool during the eighties, I witnessed first hand the struggles people had to endure because of the government’s neglect of our city. The government got away with neglecting its children, whilst Yosser and no doubt many like him had theirs taken away.

Yosser Hughes, the fictional character from Alan Bleasdale's incredible television series 'Boys from the Blackstuff', depicted a single father unable to find work whilst trying to look after his three children. 

The perception of Yosser back then, and probably still now is that he was a crazy, weak, and dangerous person. The reality though, is that Yosser’s behaviour was fuelled by many factors, not just povery, lack of work, and a broken relationship that we witness on screen.

Mental health awareness was zilch back then and most men today like Yosser find it impossible to talk about their struggles in life. This is largely due to the stigma of being perceived as weak. The only person he felt that he could open up to was a priest behind a veiled confessional box, who seemingly offered no help, support or guidance.

There will have been many traumatic events in Yossers life, all as a result of a cycle of poverty and lack of support and understanding that was generationally passed down. 

Yosser struggled on with his failing mental health, but clearly his love remained for his children. He kept looking for work, feeding his children, doing the best he could with what little he had. He like many was unfortunately doomed to succeed, and yet if he had been given help and support he could have brought his children up and been there for them. His wife, like Yosser just another casualty of the continuing cycle of victims, and sadly their children next.

Anyone struggling with their mental health should break free from the societal  stigma and speak to someone. You’re only human and can’t carry that weight alone. You are not alone and It’s ok to be vulnerable, it’s what makes us human. Just please ask someone for help!

Additionally, If you know someone who may be struggling with things, ask them if they want to talk, lend your ear, normalize their worries or concerns, and encourage them to seek help and support.

I Wanna Be A Monkey

I NEVER PLAYED

Have you ever sensed the day as a glorious event to your life expectations
Have you ever sensed the day in a way that it matters only what you say

Demolish everyone you think he had played
I never played I never played

Have you ever sensed the night as a sheet of desires giving birth to light
Have you ever sensed the night in a way that your shadow always stay alongside

Demolish everyone you think he had played
I never played, I never played.

I NEVER PLAYED -JAMMING ME AND BILL (Lyrics on Description)

‘Colorful crochet’ fisherman wanders the streets sipping a calyx staring blankly colorful crochet unknown a poster half torn with the portrait of a woman with close-fitting dress with calyx-shaped breasts breasts wanting to coming out he drops the calyx Busting red wine flows through the maze of sidewalk the wine activates the planet the planet begins to turn he puts the hands in the pockets tear the lining of the pockets a child shoots him with a plastic pistol and goes away jumping and laughing he faints into the liner of the pockets: the long corridors of dreams where tears come together in the wishing well where poets taste the sault the salt that breaks the chains of fear where the voice strips the shadows
