EXPLORERS

================================

Hi everyone.

After three weeks sick, he seems to be starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel (That's what we say in Spain...).

My precious kidney stones have prevented me from focusing on songwriting and my commitments to some friends here, and will continue to do so for a while...

But my spirit regains energy and that's why I leave you here a composition from almost 8 years ago that I don't remember having published before.

It is one of the most complex electronic parts ever made.

It's true that I remastered it a few years later in my second mixing studio......yes, in my second car with BT.

I hope you like it, while I hope to expel two of my beloved stones from the four I have had since the last month.

Greetings.

Paco. ; )

what makes us tick

What Makes Us Tick

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Self-doubt is a killer. Sometimes you just have to drown out all the noise.

IT’S NOT OVER

It’s all over
It’s all over
It’s all over
It’s all over
Did you think that it would never end
Did you lose your mind
Did you think that you were going blind
That maybe you might be one of a kind

It’s all over
It’s all over
It’s all over
It’s all over
Maybe it’s time to try again
Maybe it’s time for a second glance
Maybe a small thing overlooked
And maybe maybe maybe you’re alone in your nook

Oh-oh
They tell you
Oh-oh
They yell ya
Oh-oh
They fell you
Oh-Oh
It’s hell ya
Oh-oh
They tell you
Oh-oh

They tell you
It’s all over
Tell you
It’s all over
They tell you
It’s all over
Tell you
It’s all over
You can see beyond the doubt
You can feel what’s right and what’s wrong
All this time and its not so bad
You’re all alone and you had it all figured out
It’s not over
It’s not over

It's Not Over

Sparkle

How far have i gone 
What is this road i’m on
That leads so far from home

Are you here with me now, 
Now that i need you, No, 
i lost you long ago

And I’m barely hanging on 
I need to find the way today
And darling, I miss you so
just give me a sign and lead the way

If it’s the last thing i do I’m coming home to you
back where i belong
I’ll find the way No matter what it takes
down this road so long
You don’t know what’s here till it's gone

In some other life, Or maybe a distant dream,
that i don’t quite recall
But I close my eyes, and i’m there it seems
where you and I had it all

The sound of the children play
And the dogs out in the yard  
The fragrant flowers bloom away
It all seems so near and yet so far

If It's The Last Thing I Do

In Darkness Let Me Dwell

This is an original country song that speaks to those that are far from their loved one, unable to be with them but imagining if only...they could be together. Longing for the time when they can be with each other once again.

We are very happy to once again have the wonderful pedal steel talents of Dakota Holden contribute so beautifully to this track.

Lyrics: "If You Were Here" by Daniels & Durgy

The sun came up, despite the clouds, It was enough, despite the doubts 
To thank the Lord, for one more day, To feel the freedom come my way

And wonder where you are and how, You’re doing at this moment now
To let my heart let go of fear, Imagining if you were here

If you were here, If you were here
All these dreams that we both have would become real,
I would hold onto forever, stop the hands of time together
Kiss you gently as the world disappears…If you, if you were here..

The smile on which, I so rely, A warmth so rich, I can’t deny
The touch that penetrates my soul, How much the distance takes its toll

But I take comfort in the past, That memories are not the last
That time will only make more clear, Just what would be if you were here

(chorus)

If you were here could I contain, The need for you, like sun and rain
Like wind that parts the maple leaves, As waves breathe life into the seas

If you were here there is no doubt, I’d lay a finger on your mouth
And show you as I held you near, What I would do if you were here 

I loved you then, I love you still, There is a void no one can fill, 
The only one, is always you, And no else will ever do.  
It's always been you, always will, Be you and me, forever till
The sun & stars do not appear, To light up like, if you were here

(chorus)

If You Were Here

Lyrics:

I will never forget the very first time we met
You were my little sweetheart
Thought it would last forever

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you..

Na na na....

So let us enjoy today
With lots of love both ways
From early morning to the night
With tomorrow out of sight

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you...

Na na na...

I will never forget the very first time we met
You were my little sweetheart
Thought this would last forever

All we have is right now
Can't promise anything more
Right now I am truly yours
Thats all I can say for sure

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you...

Na na na...

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you....

Prodigal Son

In the dark 
I stumbled blindly
Painful lessons
without you

Empty reasons, 
Endless deceptions
They all talked
as If they knew

What they lacked 
is now apparent
What they sold 
was not the Truth

I searched blindly
in despair,
Only to find you
waiting there

[chorus]
Jesus, 
You are the Bread of Life,
who believes in You has found the light
You are the Bread of Life,
that which endures to eternal life

I hungered and 
I was thirsty,
my soul was dim, 
my heart was weak

My sins were many,
I was fallen
It’s through grace
that I’m still here

I look back, 
my chains are broken
The pain has eased,
You erased my fear

Now it all fits 
so seamlessly
Those who believe
are forever free

Hello everyone, 
a while ago I came across Layna's page here on Soundcloud. I was amazed by her beautiful voice. I am very happy that she agreed to my request for a collaboration. So we re-recorded the traditional "Ash Grove", which she had sung before. I gave the piece an orchestral arrangement that includes the typical Celtic instruments. In addition, there was a new intro and outro.

I am incredibly happy that I was able to work with such a wonderful singer. Thank you very much, Layna!

You can also find Layna's wonderful singing here:

Ash Grove (feat. Layna)

This song I wrote back in 2022 and I wrote it while depressed about Covid but it seems to fit right in with the present! It's basically about the anxiety one feels when life suffocates you in any way. It seems everything has gone haywire lately! Grocery prices, the rent is too damn high, our government has gone berserk, A.I. taking over our music and our minds, on and on and on and on! The song was longer but I edited down for the video which just droped on YouTube! It's a very depressing song but I think I played some cool guitar on it and sang it ok! The tail end of the song is another song I wrote around the same time called "Sick Inside", I added it to the track to play over the credits in the video, and by the way, I am feeling quite sick inside! Stay cool everybody! Maybe it will pass?🙏😎✌🏼

“SUFFOCATE”

I SUFFOCATE,
I’M OVERCOME,
I LOSE ALL SENSE OF BEING,  
AND BECOME UNDONE,                

I GET DEPRESSED,
BECOME UNHINGED, 
MY DREAMS ARE ALL OF SEARCHING, 
THE OUTER FRINGE,
I SUFFOCATE, 

I COMPENSATE,
I DECOMPRESS, 
I SINK TO THE BOTTOM,
OF MY CONSCIOUSNESS, 
  
I EMPATHIZE,
I TRY TO TUNE,       
BUT SOMETIMES I LOSE FOCUS,
AS IF I'M ON THE MOON,    
I SUFFOCATE, 
I SUFFOCATE.

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, Fender Acoustasonic acoustic guitar, Gibson Earl Scruggs Mastertone banjo, mix, production, and mastering

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

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 

  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.

  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.

  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 

  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

Down for Anything - (Eclectic Collective)

ENG / ITA Lyrics

Go that way
and then further that way
maybe you'll see each other again
if the time comes
for the usual formalities

leave him in these dark avenues
don't let him have an extra drop
dirty water stagnates
in pure brains

Just go over there
in that direction
get as far away as you can
from his words
and while you run and distract yourself a little
you meet the right man down the street
in a moment his heart catches fire
and you start to feel nostalgic


vai pure di là
e dopo oltre di là
vi rivedrete forse
se verrà il momento
per le solite formalità

lascialo pure in questi viali scuri
non concedergli una goccia in più
ristagna l'acqua sporca
nei cervelli puri

vai pure di là
in quella direzione
allontanati più che puoi
dalle sue parole
e mentre corri e ti distrai un poco
incontri l'uomo giusto proprio nella via
in un momento il suo cuore prende fuoco
e tu cominci ad avere nostalgia

Separazione (The Detachment) *

A re mix of an old recording... I felt it had a 70's sound and doubt it's ever gonna go much more than this so... enjoy a bit of 70's

A bit closer to the edge

From the very back of the barn...
Want more? @funzo-1
