Wonderful composition Fran, great performance 👌

Amazing‼️ Elegant and emotional...I love this❣️

Love this one Fran. It really goes to the theme. What an amazing artist and composer you are. Superbly played.

It's a powerfully impressive melody that grabs the heart right from the beginning... Thank you for sharing the magical work!

🎵 My dear musical friend Francess, what a powerful journey of courage through music! Your piano playing captures both vulnerability and growing strength so beautifully ✨ The way you build emotional momentum is absolutely masterful 🎹 Love how each note seems to gather more bravery as it flows 💫 The composition perfectly expresses this story of finding inner strength 🌟 An inspiring piece that touches the heart! ❤️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cette composition prouve, de façon harmonieuse, que la musique est une des meilleures rencontres que l'esprit puisse espérer pour s'exprimer sur terre.

this was going to be a disco type song, like love is in the air, but it did not sound right with a dance beat, so stripped out all of that, added a 12 str and toned down the keyboard. the vocals will prolly get a do over next week

You don’t have to smile at me when you pass me on the street
You don’t have to cross against the light so we might ‘accidentally’ meet
You don’t have to ask my friends if i still live alone
Or tell my folks you said to say hello
You don’t have to be so kind

You don’t have to come up to my table in a restaurant
And put your hand on top of mine and act so familiar while we talk
You don’t have to find any reason to spend time with me
Or send me little notes I’ll always keep
it’s gonna make me lose my mind

I’ll only fall in love
I’ll only think of you
I’ll only lie awake and wonder, if you’re thinking of me too
I’ll only act a fool
And I’ll want to marry you
It’s all cause of you
You’re too good to be true
I’ll just fall in love

Please don’t ever let me hold you close beneath the starry skies
Pde give me any reason to look deep into your eyes
And if i should ever start to wonder what my life would be
If you were always next to me  I’ll blame you, 
For making me feel this way

I'll Only Fall In Love

A deep and dark song about sorrow and sadness. Initially written on piano, I decided to add dissonances and abstract soundscapes. I am very happy that Michael leaned into the dark theme and wrote sparse lyrics with a lot of meaning in between the words.

==== LYRICS ====

I'm on my own
Here alone
Almost at the bottom
How did we fail?

Did we change?
How are you?
Because I found
Something inside
Something close to us

It's only some words
Calling out 
Calling to me
From our yesterdays

Deep inside 
We knew it from the start
A love too good
To be true
    
Help me
Help me understand
This new land
Desolate and blue

In the end
It's always been us
You and me
On our own journey

To a new place
It's only some words
Calling to me
From our yesterdays

Deep inside 
We knew it from the start
A love too good
To be true

Calling To Me

Så en dag. 894 ( 1987 ) Margareta Theorin ( Margareta )

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS semi hollow body electric guitar, seed idea
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums 
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 organ
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar and additio0nal mastering
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Squier Custom Telecaster electric guitar processed through a Line 6 interface to sound like a synth, mix, and production
Eclectic Collective -- composition
This song started around the New Year holiday, when Josh was playing around with a looper beat on his bass. He came up with the bass line and structure for it before turning it over the the rest of the Eclectic Collective to work with. 
  Ken was first up, giving the beat its due as a real drummer, and making it his own, expertly, as always. JJ was up next with his dynamic, lush organ, propping up the groove and adding sonic flavor throughout. Stephen came through after JJ with his foundatoinal, gritty, groovy guitar. It was sitting there ripe for a melody at this point, so Josh heard and added a melody vaguely inspired by the Simpson's theme and added it with his electric guitar. Tez wrapped the whole thing up with the exciting "synth" part you hear in the middle with his custom Tele, which he processes through a Line 6 interface.
  Once it was in the bag, Tez did the honors of producing and mixing it for us, and he did so exactly as we wanted it.
  This is an example of a song Josh started with a groove and set loose on the rest of the band. It is also a good example of what happens when we're all moving towards the same vision. We hope you enjoy hearing this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

SUGAR BRITCHES - The Eclectic Collective

when your blue sky turns to grey
and the wind blows your dreams away
never mind
things will work out
the wind will change
there's no doubt

just remember
to thank your lucky stars
up there shining
your lucky stars

when your grey sky turns to blue
and the sun shines down on you
that's OK
it's just another day

say hello
to your lucky stars
just remember
to thank your lucky stars

are you lucky?
are you unlucky?
either way
you are always right
heads or tails?
you decide
before the coin falls
you decide
are you lucky?
are you unlucky?
as the coins spin 
thank your lucky stars
before the coins falls
thank your lucky stars
and you might just be surprised
as the coins spin
before the coins fall
you decide
heads or tails?
you decide
you decide
are you lucky?
you decide

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It serves as a jar of sorts, to catch the musical ideas flying around in my head!  My hope is that you find something to listen to that offers encouragement and refreshes your soul.

All music is original with a few exceptions (such as new arrangements of old Christmas songs, etc.).  All music has been composed and performed with absolutely no AI-assistance.  I primarily perform and record on the Yamaha MODX8, with an occasional recording on my older Yamaha Clavinova.  You will also find collaborative works on my page, featuring some other amazing musicians on SoundCloud.

It is a joy to share my music with you, and I hope you enjoy listening!
