I needed this today😌🙏🏻 As Ive recently started a new beginning, it's a good feeling and just like listening to such marvelous playing in this piece, it gives me a good feeling, it's so bright and full of hope and strength. Fabulous job on this Fran!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you!

a nice tune..a little melancholic but also uplifting..🙏

🎵 Dear Francess, your "Starting Again" resonates with beautiful hope and determination! ✨ Your piano perfectly captures that delicate balance between courage and uncertainty when beginning anew 🎹 A lovely companion to "Crossroads" that honors those brave hearts taking new directions 💫 Your gift for emotional storytelling through music shines in every thoughtful note ❤️ A truly inspiring piece that celebrates the strength in starting over! 🌟

Lovely piano. Losing direction in life, all around, everything looks good. Being dropped into loneliness is surely a sign that you are at a crossroads. If you let yourself go, freedom is a choice. Courage The only thing that pulls you down, I feel, is the poor, detaining voice in my head. It is the piano melody that enriches the heart.

Up-tempo, arpeggiating solo piano, with a strong feel of anticipation. Moody and stunning.

This project came out of a creative communication assignment for my current MSc in climate science. It was inspired by "Unci Maka", which is a Lakota word meaning Grandmother Earth, the literal translation is "very ancient me". Many indigenous languages don't recognise a separation between us and nature as the English language does. Maybe this can point us to our role as nature, and deepen our connection, using our hands and hearts to heal together.

Patrick Henry - Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

No Surrender

Now convince the lowest man that he's better
And he won't even notice you're picking his pocket
Hell, give him someone to look down on
And he'll empty his pockets for you

If ya wanna be free, live your life own way 
Then eternal vigilance is the price ya pay
Cause  Servitude is the consequence
If you’re too damn complacent  

No surrender, to the powers that be
No surrender, to autocracy
No surrender, no surrender 

It’s a lie, It’s a lie, It’s a lie
It’s a crime, It’s a crime, It’s a crime
Of the time, of the time, of the time
It’s a low down stinking lying crime of the time.

Is life so dear or peace so sweet
To be purchased at the price of slavery 
Some will bend the knee and kiss the ring
For me I say let freedom ring 

If ya wanna be free, live your life own way 
Then eternal vigilance is the price ya pay
Cause servitude is the consequence
If you’re too damn complacent 

No surrender, to the powers that be
No surrender, to autocracy
No surrender, to the chains of tyranny

No surrender, to the powers that be
No surrender, to a wanna be king
No surrender, no surrender

the body turning home
passions and the red, red dust
You and wonder roam

Far more grace than we can see
often so deceived
To give, to give to give away
And find where tender lays

Cast of Characters:

This song began with Steve, who wrote it on his guitar and sang it, before sharing it with Eclectic Collective about half a year ago, back in the fall. Always grateful to Steve for sharing his amazing music with us, we kept it alive even though it had stalled out on us for whatever reason. 
  We had a decent skeleton from our original go at it, but decided to scrap it, and start fresh. Ken, being the one who actually revived it, added his solid drums first, providing for a groovy foundation. Tez came next, surprisingly, adding his hooky guitar fills throughout. Mark hopped on shortly after, adding the organ you hear coming in around the 2:00 mark. Josh took his turn after that, even though it was only a couple of days between, by adding his fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. He also, in the same recording session, added the electric piano you hear throughout, as well as the organ in the first half. 
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to mix it for us, in his always professional manner. 
  We all love working on Steve's songs, and admire him as a musician, singer, and songwriter. This makes almost a half dozen songs on which the EC has collaborated with Steve, and we're sure to add many more. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Steve's Planet

Please Come Home (Eclectic Collective with Steve's Planet)

See Through

i’m already 
goin’ down
to the end of the story now
wind is blowing
to the end of the story now

come away   come away

time is bending 
drifting down
spin the hourglass all around
pulverize it
spin the hourglass all around

i’m comin’ after 
i’m comin’
i’m unembodied
i’m free

i’m already 
leaving town
train is rounding the mountain now
got my ticket
train is rounding the mountain now

come away   come away

Quietus

“Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.” ― Germany Kent

A little piano improvisation dedicated to family, friends, and others who have had to start again and have shown great faith, courage and resolve in doing   so. A companion piece to "Crossroads."

Starting Again

Like the hush before morning, or the weight of a dream you can’t quite hold.
“Barely Awake” drifts slowly through stillness — a soft breath of memory, wrapped in quiet light.
Let it carry you where words no longer reach.

Barely Awake

Spanish Dances No.10 Op.43

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!

Soundtracks for the imaginary movies of my life. They're not necessarily meant to be beautiful, they're meant to tell a story, like an encrypted message, but better. Your likes and comments make me happy! sleepynoonradio@gmail.com
