This song began with David, who wrote it on the guitar, synth, and bass over a programmed beat he created. He and Josh met more than two months ago and decided to do a collaboration, based on mutual enjoyment of and respect for each other's music. Dave had this song pretty much fleshed out, although it was still a skeleton when he offered it to Josh, who, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. 

Dave asked us all to compose our own parts for the song, so we all got to work right away doing that. We all realized that the first order of business would be to get a real beat on this, so Ken accomplished that task with some dynamic, Eastern inspired drums and percussion, which he plays throughout the song. JJ then stepped in and added his best eastern flute magic. Stephen was next with the perfect-vibe sitar you hear in the first two sections. 

Josh came next to add his five-string fretless bass to the mix, augmenting David's high, staccato bass with his deep, low tone bass. Then, for the third section, where David's Gilmore-esque guitar solo resides, Josh drops out, allowing for Dave's awesome bass playing in that section. However, Josh does come in again towards the end, in the final section, too. Also, in that section, Tez dropped an augmented, harmonic, electric fire, complementary guitar part. Then, David's frequent collaborator and friend Ron added some well blended, ethereal synth to the first section, too.

Once we had the instrumental parts pretty much laid down, we began to discuss getting a woman to sing on this, as David was inspired by The Great Gig in the Sky, by Pink Floyd, and we all agreed. Who we found to do it actually blew all of our minds. JJ, being familiar with her music, contacted Elpi first, and we were all lucky enough that she agreed to do it. Having heard Mediterranean music all her life in Greece, she tapped into what her husband said were her "ancient Greek roots" for her spectacular vocal performance. She finds all the modal notes and places them perfectly throughout her sections. 

But before we were done, Mark came through with some really striking talking drum parts in the first two sections, too. Once we had everything in the can, David took over, both with some masterful editing and production, and with the balanced, dynamic mix. The mix was a formidable task, but he did it with considerable skill, also taking everyone's opinions into account, which is a talent in and of itself. When he was done with the mix, he turned it over to Stephen for the mastering, which the latter did to everyone's satisfaction, as always.

This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with David, Elpi, and Ron, and we all hope it's the first of many, as we welcome them into the EC family. They all have some wonderful music on their pages, too, so do yourself a favor and check out all of them, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Le soleil dans les interstices parcourt ma peau encore chaude de tous mes rêves inachevés
je brave le sol froid sous mes pieds j’ouvre les rideaux sur mes possibles
ciel bleu et haut, mer sombre lointaine
c’est dans cette étendue que j’avance
tout m’appelle je frissonne à l’odeur salée de cet océan aux pins mêlés.

Je suis sorcière dans ma longue robe noire
ma langue murmure sans que je m’en aperçoive
d’antiques psaumes et des sortilèges habiles
mes mains pleines de charme caressent l’avenir
la certitude me tient debout la tête haute

Nous sommes des embarcations
lancées sur un océan agité
Certains devront sortir les rames
d'autres juste gonfler la voile

Les beaux senaus avantagés par leurs mats, leur robustesse
Et les esquifs plus modestes plus discrets
Seront par le vent ballottés
Sans cesse trouver son chemin et apprendre alors
Les tempêtes essuyées nous indiquent le nord

Les bateaux se croisent parfois se heurtent
Mains décharnées aux gouvernails meneurs

Je veux baisser les voiles
Jeter au loin rames et amarres
Desserrer les poings
me laisser amadouer
Bercée par nos langages adoués

Ne plus subir les courants
Laisser venir depuis la grève
Le flot et le jusant
Entre deux retenues deux courants je m'apaise

Mes pieds avancent dans les clapotis
je ne ressens pas les vagues
je les passe comme d’anciens habits
et ma robe se met à flotter autour de moi
de mes mains je salue les ondes les plus lointaines

J’appartiens à ce sable sous mes pieds à ces eaux qui m’appellent
à la terre toute entière c’est elle qui me dompte et m’apprivoise
c’est à elle que je me livre
je veux communier pour ceux qui luttent
je veux remercier pour ceux qui brûlent
je veux être nature et légère

This is a combination of chanting and singing. I have merged two songs and two styles into one track. 

I love how this turned out.

##PAROLES/LYRICS##

You wanna think what I think
You wanna feel what I feel
But it will never be possible

If you could feel what I feel 
Then you could fear what I fear
If you could fear what I fear
Then you could feel what I feel

You're my friend, my best friend
You're my love, my greatest love
But how can you feel
All the bad things I feel
I feel, I feel

If you could empty your mind
And fill it with mine
You could finally, finally understand me

If you could empty your mind
And fill it with mine
If you could empty your mind
And fill it with mine

You could finally, finally understand me
Understand me

You wanna think what I think
You wanna feel what I feel
You wanna, you wanna (...)

If you could feel what I feel 
Then you could fear what I fear
If you could fear what I fear
Then you could feel what I feel
Feel...

##FRENCH TRANSLATION##

Tu veux connaître mes pensées
Et ressentir c'que je ressens
Mais tu ne pourras jamais y arriver

Si tu pouvais ressentir c'que je ressens
Tu pourrais aussi ressentir toutes mes peurs
Si tu pouvais ressentir toutes mes peurs
Tu pourrais aussi ressentir c'que je ressens

Tu as beau être mon ami, mon meilleur ami
Tu as beau être mon amour, mon plus grand amour
Mais comment peux-tu ressentir
Toutes les mauvaises choses que je ressens
Que je ressens, que je ressens

Si tu pouvais libérer ton esprit
Et le remplacer par le mien
Tu pourrais enfin me comprendre

Tu veux connaître mes pensées
Et ressentir c'que je ressens
Tu le veux, tu le veux

If you could feel what I feel

Love yourself. You are loveable. Shine your heart lights ✨✨💗✨✨

Dont be shallow...get out of the f.....g shallow.

Im up for collaborations with other artists. forget what you heard, I dont bite, I promise ;) Keep your intentions pure, and its all good baby!

Please, Read before you think about working with me...consider my words a contract.

If you are using my vocals, please use citations. Sometimes I work with other people's music, have some respect! If I find my name removed or the musicians name I will flag you!
You want to make music, then lets go...

 I go by Orieliel Watcher and sing about these three beings often..coincidence? Fascinating.....

Lorelei

A mix of mermaid, shape-shifter, and siren, the Rhine Maidens were water-dwelling creatures who lured sailors to their death on treacherous rocks. In Germany, the chief water sprite lent her name to the Loreley, an especially deadly boulder in the Rhine River en route to the North Sea.

So, seems to be miscommunications when it comes to making music with me. Rule number one--Dont Waste My Time. Rule Two The music we do together is both of our works; we both have equal rights. Rule Three Once we create a song you cannot take that away from me. I will share the song as it is treated as a contract between musician and singer. Rule Four Please, refer back to rule one. I love music--its not about money for me--but spreading joy through improvisational storytelling. So please--Keep your intentions pure if you want to work with me. Also, once I allow for a download, once you have downloaded it and have agreed to make a song you must produce that song or I will consider it a form of theft and misrepresentation. Sorry had to set some rules and boundaries, because some people are taking advantage of my generosity with regards to songs and lyrics I write.
