I started out writing a Christmas song and as i was writing down the lyrics a little hand took my hand and this happened...What if Children ruled the world. They are born with so much Love and so much happiness and Innocence and then we , the Adults teach them how to be Adults ...what if it went the other way...what if they taught us about being a Child again, Remember Happiness, Love and peace. I know its only a Song but wouldn't it be great to be an Adult and to actually believe in these things once again. With this thought i would like to wish you all a very happy and peaceful and childish Christmas...Love Johnny

If Children Ruled The World

Idris (the navigator) joins the crew of a salvage ship (the Vulture God). They take on a contract for the retrieval of particular ship, only to find it has been ripped part by The Architects... 

All guitar parts were played on a Duesenberg Paloma using an attack synth pedal.

I Went For A Walk.mp3

One of my first GarageBand songs! There are multiple levels of meaning, as always.. just enjoying my @ stripped series, yes! Hope something catches your ears.. in a good way.. btw.. I’m not making any threats.. it’s just how I perceive people perceive, Christ, sometimes… I call Him Lord and Savior… the biggest blessing to all of us! Yes! You may disagree…it’s not a theological debate.. it’s mostly aimed at me.. something to remind me.. to reflect on.. to consider…I prefer uplifting statements..  if not your cup of tea or coffee.. please @ hard pass.. though you are welcome to share anything you desire ! 😇🙏

Here’s the link to my original!

Three in One- stripped

Ain't

Cast of Characters:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – organ, synth, effects-heavy guitar, initial drums and bass, and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS SE semi-hollow body electric guitar, vocals, and lyrics
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST bassoon and harpsicord   
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This song began with Chris composing it with his synth, guitar, drum pad and bass. Like many of his songs, it was pretty well formed before the rest of the group got a hold of it. This song was part of a load of songs he shared with the rest of Eclectic Collective all at once. We've been picking them off one by one, though, as we're always grateful to Chris for sharing his magic with us.
  The odd sound of the rhythmic melody, which uses chromatic walks, immediately caught Josh's ears. It struck him as something the Doors might have come up with. So, he set about replacing Chris' simple bass line with something fancier, as well as coming up with the lead guitar for the whole thing, and the lyrics and vocals, as well. Josh was really taken with this one, and heard all kinds of parts in it almost immediately. Ken went to bat next, adding his innovative, John Densmore-like drums to it, replacing Chris' initial rhythmic idea. JJ came next and added the essential piano you hear throughout. After that, Mark found a place for his amazing bassoon/harpsicord solo in the middle. But before it was all over, Chris also added some doubled vocals, too, to actualize the lyrics, which are about two friends taking an acid trip together. 
  After it was all laid down, we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did in his expert fashion, as always.
  This is our latest song composed by Chris, and we love working on his music. If you dig this, you should pay his page a visit, too, as it's full of diamonds. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
Come take a trip with me and together we will see
Into the end
Of time
That you are also me 
And I am also you
We’re in the soup
And in a loop

Underneath your skin 
You’re the same as I
Yet we strive  
To divide
If you want to blur the lines
Just dislodge yourself from time
Let’s fly
Let ego die


We’ll discover what is hidden,
And know why it’s forbidden 
So hold tight 
To what’s right
Just come along with me
And together we can see
Use the light 
Of night

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside 
And see
  
Just feel your temples squeeze
And put your mind at ease
And tune in
To my vibe
You can come along 
Just listen to the song
And melt 
With me

Down and down we go
We should take it slow
Unless we can’t 
We’re all ants
 I knew that we’d have fun
I knew you were the one
To do this with
Now we’re a myth

We could go all night 
Until the sun is bright
It’s a long 
Long ride

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside
And see

You Are Also Me (The Eclectic Collective)

Nos désirs s'emmêlent dans la nuit 
Ils murmurent des secrets à demi enfouis 
Les étoiles pleurent dans un ciel sans bruit 
Une flamme Une danse Le cœur s'élance 
Mais à quoi bon 
Nos corps s'éteignent dans l'ombre 
Nos douleurs se perdent Se confondent 
Nos soupirs Nos pleurs 
Sont des cendres dans l'heure 
Les yeux fixent l'horizon brisé 
Chaque larme tombe 
Chaque rêve effacé 
Le vent emporte ce qu’on voulait 
Nos corps s'éteignent dans l'ombre 
Nos douleurs se perdent 
Se confondent 
Nos soupirs Nos pleurs 
Sont des cendres dans l'heure 
Tant de pleurs pour un feu cruel 
Il brûle Il danse Mais c'est un duel 
Qu'il s'éteigne ou qu'il m'avale 
Je n'ai plus d'escale 
Nos désirs sont d'amour 
Nos corps Nos douleurs 
Nos yeux noyés de peur 
Nos pleurs Nos soupirs en cadence 
Nos sens qui se balancent Entre manque et excès 
Tant de pleurs sortiront sur le feu qui m'enflamme 
Qu'il noiera sa fournaise au lieu de l'arroser 
Feu qui nous inonde 
Qui m'arrache l'âme Je te brûle en silence 
Tu te noies à mon passé 
Nos matins sans appel 
Nos nuits Qui se déplient 
Sur les draps en bataille 
Chaque mot Un éclat Chaque geste Une faille 
On s'accroche au mirage 
On s'efface dans l'orage 
Tant de pleurs sur le feu 
Qu'il ne saura plus brûler 
Nos désirs sont d'amour 
Et je te laisse couler 
Nos désirs sont d'amour 
Nos corps nos douleurs nos yeux nos pleurs 
Nos soupirs nos sens 
Tant de pleurs sortiront 
Sur le feu qui m'enflamme 
Qu'il noiera sa fournaise 
Au lieu de l'arroser 
Nos désirs sont d'amour nos corps nos douleurs 
Nos yeux nos pleurs nos soupirs nos sens 
Tant de pleurs sortiront sur le feu qui m'enflamme 
Qu'il noiera sa fournaise au lieu de l'arroser 

Nos desirs sont d'amour

Reminiscence (Early Demo)

I struggle to react to change...

My new song. Just came up with the vocals.

I hope you enjoy it and any feedback is always really appreciated.

Reminiscence

Just messing around learning, experimenting, playing and expressing myself. My little collection of demos, songs, experiments and instrumentals. I hope you enjoy them. I'm a guitarist / Vocalist / Producer and enjoy learning to express my moods, emotions, dreams and thoughts as I go.

Thank you all for the likes comments and reposts.

I have added a support link as I am struggling to keep up my subscriptions here currently and it would help me keep on creating and posting more songs. Thank you if you read this far lol.
