❤️ cool sounding song! Love that synth and your vocals 

Love the lyrics, your singing and the melodies are always great. I find that the arrangement slightly works against the song by jarring a bit with the melodies, perhaps I am missing something but a good experiment Dick.

I like this injection of energy through the solo, gathering excitement. Very unique creation here. Durge

Gather round
the wishing tree
space givers and
stage divers...

Black cloud 
with silver lining
whatever your plan, 
there's no no fool proof timing

Plan B is  - Just in case
If all goes haywire, get back to base


I see what you're looking at
While winging the quarantine
Like a hermit in long gone days
pacing up & down this tiny space

Sip the wine, bind your time
just a walk could be a crime
Persistant we all must be
Until we're finally free

Plan B is  - a safety net
if things get hectic, hedge your bet

solo

Plan B is a great escape
Situation is not yet shipshape.

Masks and screens
Sprays & mace
When again
can we show our face?

Plain sailing (if all goes well)
No failing (but who can tell)

Plan B is  - Just in case

Plan B (just in case)

The signature song from our album of the same name Desiree. A barn burning rocker that gets you going from start to finish. The stage is set when a beautiful mystery woman beguiles this small town with her looks and style creating speculation and wonder.

Desiree

’S fheàrr le Eilidh a bhith a’ leughadh mu thursan-dàna an àite a bhith a’ dol orra.
Ach, tha cuideigin a’ goid gach leabhar sa bhaile...
Tha an t-àm ann do dh’Eilidh a bhith na bana-ghaisgeach san sgeulachd aice fhèin agus an t-eucoireach a lorg.

MÈIRLEACH NAN SGEUL

This song is rather long. After all, it's also about a very long journey. We know that not everybody like long songs. We have an excerpt of this song in a completely different version with only guitar accompaniment. That would be the short alternative. But we would be happy if some listeners would make the complete musical journey with us and listen to the full version of the song to the end. Here we go:
Enceladus
Part I: Journey in space:
When we left the earth last year, without any sign of fear
No clue how it would be here

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight 

Far away from human life, our mission feels so right
Flying to the icy moon, a journey to the unknown
Enceladus calling us, with the rocket travelling fast
Human dreams we cannot hide, human spirit is our guide
Watch a different cosmic side, all around us the starlight
Travel through eternal night, travel through eternal night

Instrumental Part

Part II: Approaching Enceladus, Landing:
Enceladus’ coming near, Saturn is so huge and clear
Time to change the running gear
Approaching Saturn’s mystical face
After that journey through infinite space
Landing on this moon, foreign stars above
Enceladus as beautiful as love
We’ll explore the ocean under the deep ice
We wonder whether we’ll find traces of life

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight

Behind the rings the moon awaits
We’ll explore it’s icy gates
Instruments raised to explore
What’s under the ice and more
Secrets of the inner sea
Cannot wait what we will see, cannot wait what we will see

Instrumental Part

Part III: The scientific mission, getting the results:
(Unfortunately, we are not authorized to present the research results here; this will be done officially. That's why we had to remove this part from our song. Unfortunately, it will take a very, very long time, before the research results are published so we have to ask you to be very patient. )
…
Part IV: Dismantling the camp and heading home:
Enceladus was our home on this mission so alone
Time to leave this icy stone
Packing the instruments with care and grace
We’ll bring our finding through the distant space
In the frozen world under the star’s dome
We gather ‘cause it’s time to go home
Enceladus we will never come back
But about you we’ll create a soundtrack (you have it tight here, the soundtrack)

Camp dismantled and our probes in the crates
Every one ready the countdown awaits
We’ll bring Enceladus’ portrait, 
Destination home, we are on our way

Wait for us ‘cause we bring home amazing research data
And to earth we bring Enceladus’ water

We missed our earth and our people so much
Oh, how we want to feel again the earth’s living touch
Our family faces we long to greet
We will be so happy when we finally can meet
We’ve learned nothing is more important than protecting the earth
Every fight, every sacrifice, every effort it is worth – it!

Phosphorescence

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

«Erde, Luft und Wasser». Orgelstück. Op.162. (2024)

This song is based on poetry by my aunt Pat.  Here is her original poem:

Pleasing Breeze
(2014)

A gentle breeze
Is blowing by just to please.

It seems to tickle the leaves
In the trees.
They seem to be dancing
In this gentle breeze.

Just peeking over the horizon
Was the bright shining sun.

The birds in the air are joyfully
Chirping and having such fun.

The grass is deep green
And the colorful flowers
Add a special beauty
To the serene scene.

As the gentle breeze
Is blowing by just to please.

Notes:
Pat Brandstetter is my aunt.

This is the first song I have ever written that uses only one chord G7.  In different places I emphasize different notes in the G7 chord.  But all chords use one or more of these notes G B D and F.  In the chorus I emphasize the F (7th) and the D (5th).  The verse [place more emphasis on the root (G) and the third (B).

I did a song using two chords a while back:  Dreaming of Flying.
https://youtu.be/Vrh7jPVDuGo?si=4PaM9etJd0BmA_UJ

When I did it I thought I should do a song with one chord.  It seemed like a daunting task.  I thought there is no way song with one chord can be any good.  Then I played “Chain of Fools” by Aretha Franklin.  It is basically a one chord song.  I thought this can be done.  Here it is.  What do you think?+

Lou Reed once said:  “One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz.”

Things of consequence
Make such perfect sense.
And once again, two and three make five...
Such pressings on your time,
Ambition's not a crime.
Holoparasites are pretty when they thrive. 

'Grace can't pay the rent', 
She's broken and she's spent.
But underneath she is made from gold. 
This sparkling hinterland
Put logic in your hand, 
Gave all herself so you could trade her soul.

The good will surely come, 
Your swindling undone...
We still get to taste
What you wouldn't pay for.
The power became mine, 
The notes fell off the line - 
They won't dance while you are
In it for the money. 

Insincerity
Made a fool of me. 
We fell for that one once too often. 
You painted my blues red,
The colours ate your head
To find your heart and make it soften. 

The good will surely come,
Your swindling undone. 
We still get to taste what you wouldn't pay for. 
Your powers become mine,
The notes slid off the line...
They won't dance while you are in it for the money.
