Amazing!!! :D This has a special nostalgic feel to it, Mat!! It's like a haunting dreamy voice that mysteriously nudges one's thoughts, & then a music box effect that creates that evocation of the spirit nature. It permeates the mind & plays with the senses! Love the supernatural sensuality this possess! Brilliant masterpiece! Another favorite discovery!! <3 <3 <3 <3 Hope you're doing well!!;)

Trippy and ethereal style, strange and otherworldly...

This is great. The sparse instrumentation combines perfectly with the vocals.. and i love the interludes. Super creative!

Then She Reaches For The Gun - This Isn't Even Creating A Sense Of Space

Not feel 

Wake outside of myself 
Make my way to my cigarette 
Sunrise over the swamp
I can smell the air, you there 
This sun ive already felt
The breeze is rest from my lonely self
Everything I see just breathes, through me for free 

And now the crows have left
Nothing here but the silent mess
Thunder boom from the south is walking through, from you
Reflections starting to fade
Suns gone away to another day 
Shadows seep from the drains that flow beneathe, the streets

Black blades of grass stingin through 
The moon says it’s sorry for what ive been through 
The earth keeps on spinning through passing of storms, it forms  
The tears have all have dried now for years 
Rowing down this puddle I cry to hear 
The sun screaming up from the roots of the earth..it’s birth 

Why can I not feel for a day 
Why can I not surrender to its grace 
Why can I not tell you what’s in my mind 
Why can I not breathe before I die 

Give me your heart, lace it with fear
End these black days. Ends these dark years 


Tell me I’m right, tell me I’m fine
I feel all I know, and it becomes mine 

Im ceasing to know, the person I am 
All I feel is you, all of you I am





Regular lyrics was surrender to its grace, but I’m clearly singing his grace. And struggle with faith, so I am guessing that’s suppose to be

Cast of Characters:
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar, mix, and production 
Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar
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
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass 

This song was released a few weeks ago as a mix that Stephen did. Tez, being the equally talented producer that he is, decided to make a mix that highlighted the interplay between the guitars and the keys. This mix is more focused on the instruments, while still giving Steve's vocals their due. 
  The song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm acoustic 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 sprinkled some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning.  
  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, and 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 you’ll see that you belong with me

When I was a child, I often went mountain climbing with my grandfather. My grandfather was a very strong man. I looked back on those memories and released them as a composition here, calling it an adventure. Thank you for listening.
