nice song with many things that i like in your realisation.

Such deep production beauty in this creative pop rocker, wonderful harmonies and just a wonderful blend of textures and feel. Well done Phil! Durge

Fab sound on this great song, Phil! Love that bank of horns and with those obscure yet suggestive lyrics and the enthusiastically swinging harmonies, is giving me that Steely Dan vibe : )

Very nicely captured mood! Good horns and polyphonic vocals!

that brass section sounds amazing and gives the track so much fun and power.

I very much enjoyed all the brass arrangements from you, your excellent guitar chops and all the other details, which make this song so beautiful. And yes, you envy me with your yacht … 😀🎸🔥❤️

Laughing.... complex lyrics and complicated imagery... the sublime with the straightforward.... and some just for the sounds. Your work is ALWAYS interesting, Phil.

AMBROSIA COAST

Driving down the coast road
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
Oh can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

They came in in inflatables
But they weren’t looking for Ingrid’s hat
We spent some money dressing up the corpse
No-one had learned a move like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

But we don’t wanna see where the birdie goes

Give me emotion (bow-wow-wow)
Lend me the potion (bow-wow-wow)
Rub me in lotion (bow-wow-wow)
Give me the motion (bow-wow-wow)
We need ambrosia
Because it’s cosier
Feed the gods with that bowl 
Feed the gods with that bowl, there...

Driving down the coast road 
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
But can we do it tonight? (bow-wow-wow)
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight? 
Bow-wow-wow

THE ENDLESS ROAD

As if I would stay on the sidelines
As if the whole world was passing by
Would I could I ever be myself
Would I could I be understood
I knew so much and wanted you to know
I judged, hurt, left people behind
So many moments, days and nights all ahead
So many sunrises and missed possibilities
The days moved so slowly
The nIghts seemed eternal
All I saw was an endless road
All I could see was an endless road

Suddenly on a loud and crowded highway
All the others moving in the fast lane
Would I ever could I catch up
Would I ever could I ever
Everything to learn more and more unknown 
Mistakes made that can’t be undone
Turns missed and roads not taken
Faster by the moment orange cones in my way
Every day ending in a rush
Every night passing in a flash
Show me the way
There must be a way 
Show me the way off this endless road

A pain or two I expect nothing less
Nothing’s changed I’m still a child
Would I could I live my lessons learned
Will it all go to waste
Was it all for nothing
I wish I saw an endless road
I wish I saw an endless road
I wish I could see
I  wish I could see an endless road

The Endless Road

Squaring The Circle

The Last Refuge Of The Lonely

This is a new collaboration project with THE TURTLE PROJECT https://soundcloud.com/turtle-project
The start of a new EP !
Lyrics:-
A small boat rowed across the lake
A young farm hand left the village late
By sundown the mist would fool his eyes
By moonlight he reached the other side

He hopped out onto the shore
He kicked the boat out to the water
And dropped down to his own knees
And started crying with ease

I'm calling all the power of earth
The pure magic we have had since birth
Good people meet and create change
We are powerful and we must reclaim

He dropped down to his own knees
And started crying with ease

I'm calling all the power of earth
The pure magic we have had since birth
Good people meet and create change
We are powerful and we must reclaim

I'm Calling - The Turtle Project & winkandwoo

Cast of characters:
Steve's Planet--@steve-vervaet—Steve—acustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–electric guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell--@j-j-terrell—JJ—organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums, percussion, and low vocal harmony
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–Fender precision bass  
This song began as an acoustic guitar and vocals stem written and performed by Steve. He sent it to Josh, who added the undulating staccato bass line, with the help of Ken's always well-suited drums. They went back and forth a couple of times, as is their process, until it clicked. Tez added some really dynamic leads and fills throughout, and Stephen filled in the rest of the electric guitar in a Keith/Ronnie kind of way, which is very tasteful. JJ then added some perfectly complimentary organ. Finally, Ken pleasantly surprised us with the low vocal harmonies. 
Stephen also mixed and produced this one for us. He's brilliant behind the board, and we're lucky to have him aboard. This one came together in a matter of a relatively short period of a fortnight, which is rare for the Eclectic Collective. But, when something is hot and already put together, it comes quickly. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
Lyrics:
Fallin’
Wandering aimless
Couldn’t shoot straight
No ability
Not much to say
There was no sign of me
Good times, bad times
Leaving out the sad times
Easily
That’s what they’re telling me
Mend or break
Looking over rooftops
Coming to a full stop
Suddenly
On a sad height
Raging endlessly
Breakline, beeline
Picking up the freeline
Easily
Follow my way
Leavin’ the fast lane
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2
And I – I’ve been going my way
One more time, only today 2x
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2

Fallin' (Eclectic Collective)

Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

https://youtu.be/MycE5FK8rLM?si=jLzbSIixeMFZE3X0

As i traveled around the uk and europe in the summer of 2023
i became aware of how people use the power of dance to express them selfs and entertain .
I filmed and captured the moments of this and turned it into this song and a music video ,it kinda has a global message of freedom too in the lyrics and i ask the question the more they take away the things we enjoy the more people will find a way to celebrate and try and enjoy life.

Latin Heart

Will you travel in my imaginary world :)) ?

I'd like to be a kite 
that floats and dives with the wind 
cut the thread that holds me

to lose myself in the universe 
and observe from time to time 
from afar the madness of the earth 

it seems that to be happy 
it's better to stay in line 
but I can't wait 

to soar like a seagull
to be able to cross the rainbow 
aim at the moon and the sun 
and talk to the stars as I fly 

board a ship 
as an ordinary sailor 
or even a stowaway 
on a voyage that would have no end 
no end...

like a bottle in the sea
I drift with the currents 
I go where time pushes me

i don't know where my prayers go 
at the end of the solar system 
I'm going to separate my two hands 

and stop imagining 
that a better world sweet and serene 
is just around the corner 
is tomorrow ... so

I'll soar like a seagull
cross the rainbow 
aim at the moon and the sun 
and talk to the stars as I fly 

board a ship 
as an ordinary sailor 
or even a stowaway 
on a voyage that would have no end 
no end...

Never Alone

I pray my eyes will open to you
And my heart will understand
I cry out for your wisdom
Knowing the house of the righteous will stand

Hatred stirs up all of our strife,
Love covers our offenses
The wise learn to walk upright
The wages of the righteous is life

With you
We are not alone
Not alone
Never alone
I know

Riches mean nothing at our last breath,
righteousness rescues us
Fear of the LORD prolongs our lives,
He is a shield to those who walk by His side

A tranquil heart is life to the body,
And understanding will guard you
Do not say, “I will repay evil”;
Wait for the LORD, and He will save you.

[chorus]

Blessed is one who trusts in the LORD.
those who trust have found the fountain of life
For the Lord gives us wisdom
Just as the Lord gave us our lives

We are praised by our insight,
And all our deeds will return
The steadfast and righteous attain life,
The blameless are the LORD’s delight.

[chorus]

A joyful heart is good medicine,
Kindness flows from the fountain of wisdom
A merciful person does himself good,
Upright Integrity will guide them

Way of the LORD is a mighty stronghold,
The righteous will never be shaken
When the whirlwind passes over, 
The righteous have an everlasting foundation.
