Something Unexpected

An experiment in using a kick track with rhythmic percussion, Helen provided vocals  in a single take, after adding some vst based guitar, orchestral decoration and reverb this is what we finished up with.

Tripping The Light (holding on)

OnTheEdgeOfTheWorld

Hey have you heard
That time is running out
And there leaves no doubt

To arms to arms
Man the stations heed the call
One and all

Enough with all the debate
The time’s for action
Before it’s too…

Oh can you see
We’re all standing on the edge
On the edge of the world

Solo

When the embers 
Of your dreams 
Lie smouldering 
At your feet 

Then will you see 
We’re all standing on the edge 
On the edge of the world 

Solo

Enough with all the debate
The time’s for action
Before it’s too…

Hey have you heard
That time is running out
And there leaves no doubt

When the embers 
Of your dreams 
Lie smouldering 
At your feet 

Then will you see
We’re all standing on the edge
On the edge of the world

On the edge of the world

Building Castles In This Hourglass

I've
Always
Got
Sand in my hair
Building castles in this hourglass
Lord it takes forever
Lord it takes forever

Sand in my hair

Lord it takes forever
Lord it takes forever

I've always got
Sand in my hair
Building castles in this hourglass
Lord it takes forever
Lord it takes forever...

Building Castles In This Hourglass

Spotify

Aside from musical satisfaction and $$$ - the motivations for artists to keeping going can be an addiction to the love from the audience.

SCREAMING AND THROWING UNDIES

Take my time with plug-ins
Connection satisfaction
Waving arms like a summons
Pointy introductions
And soon I’m ridin’ minor sevenths
Endorphins in my canal
I’m like a godly presence
As music funks it’s way around

But the pessimist inside – says shoot me your lovin’ arrows
Cause the deficit is – oh - the needing of something so shallow
Gimme screaming and throwing undies (love me love me love me)
Gimme screaming and throwing undies

Career or labour of love
Try and define it
Eyeing up those at the front
Is anyone buyin’ it
I’m phrasing out the words I wrote
Looking for misty eyes 
Reaching for a soulful note
Into clover wrap me tight 

Nature’s opium ride
Musicality
Bathing up here in spotlight
Dopamine alchemy                             Yeah I’m riding . . .

SCREAMING and THROWING UNDIES

It's mostly wonderful, getting older.

I Thought I Knew        

The world is upside down                   
The secrets that I never knew
On my bedroom ceiling
 
The world is inside out 
Seams are on the outside
It’s a real confusing feeling
        
A mushroom is a mushroom    
That is something everybody knows
But what if when you woke up very early in the morning 
Your mushroom was a toadstool     
Your bluebird was a pointed rock?
A dog bite was a diamond 
And your cancer was a smile?
 
Oh yeah, I knew it all            
But suddenly I’m learning 
After sixty years of knowing

I never knew that much          
It’s a real peculiar feeling
And I don’t know where it’s  going      
    
A matchbox is a matchbox
That is something everybody knows 
But what if then you stayed up very late into the evening and 
Your matchbox was a carpet flying you right through the ceiling?
A trail of fire behind you as you wish the world goodbye?

I thought I knew 
I thought I knew

What if they were untrue                   
The stories I’ve been telling that had sounded so appealing?
 And every word was false
A blanket made of fiction
It’s a real confusing feeling

A mushroom is a mushroom
That is something everybody knows
But what if when you woke up very early in the morning 
Your mushroom was tomorrow    
Your fingers were a pigeon
Your secrets were a fairy tale and everyone was gone?

What if a different song was playing all along?

I thought I knew 
I thought I knew

I Thought I Knew - Mixed and Mastered by Russ

Inspired by The Love Boat. Not the show itself but more the imagined back stage with Lauren Tewes doing prodigious amounts of coke, old 50's movie stars and the giant egos of the people involved in a hit TV show. That mixed with an out of control bass line, some Muzak, jazz and the weird bits of the 70's floating around in my mind.

All The Things You Are (A Love Boat version)

We are pleased to present track 3 from our new album, 'Squaring The Circle,' the fourth solo album by Amanda, music by Verulium, full album now available on Bandcamp, we hope you’ll enjoy

I've fallen to pieces 
I've broken apart 
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where to start

So this song takes the idea of home and expands it outward beyond conventional ideological boundaries of what a home might be. Some of this may sound odd, in the sense of 4 walls, a floor, and a roof as home. So where might our home be? Out beyond our neighborhood perhaps, the region where we live, the continent we’re on, maybe our planet, or somewhere in the cosmos? If we settle on a suitable idea that is somewhat believable for us, it may be that our ‘home’ is, at the very least, the planet we live on. Our home planet. So wherever we go on Earth, we are home, as the song suggests. Please bear with me on this, as it may get a bit allegorical: I like that idea of this larger sense of home, as we might not dump trash, sewage, and all sorts of toxins inside our home, or pollute our home in other ways. We may begin to see what a large, incredible family we have at home. Don’t ya think? It may allow us to get along with each other a little better than we have been? (As an example, you should see me with me with my family at times, it can be frustrating… hee-hee.) We probably wouldn’t set off/drop so many bombs and blast the crap out of our home like we do now, if we saw the Earth as our home. Or ignorantly flood or burn down our home, in our stubborn refusal to appreciate the reality of what it takes to maintain a home like Earth. If we come back to the idea of a conventional home, well there’s all sorts of problems with that too. Here are some of them. Some of us have homes, some of us don’t. There are many reasons for that. Some of us have lost our homes. Some of us do not like our homes, some of us never leave our homes. Some of us despise each other for not having homes, or having too many homes, or having too large of a home, etc…. Where do we feel at home these days with the state of homeability or lack there of? My conventional home, allows me to live here, be that wherever it may be for any of us. Anyway, this song also gave me the opportunity to dust off my mandolin and recorder, as they pretty much sat there all summer with long faces wondering what I was up to. So now they’re happy and I hope this song shares some of their happiness with you….. m

'nowt new'

note: nowt = nothing

Harmful: lyrics, vocals
Scotty: guitar

We got medicine for absolutely everything 
Except for the human condition 
Even very very clever men from way way way way way back when could only ever treat the symptoms 
This is an old wound
It ain’t nowt new

And to paraphrase some bloke or the other
If it ain’t one thing it’s your mother
Smothering lovingly 
Fucking up recovery
Could it be
Reopening an old wound
It ain’t nowt new

And yet when you think about we’re probably 
The luckiest people that’s ever walked the earth
Well at least them of us that’s sat waffling into iPads, I mean 200 years ago I probably wouldn’t have made it to my age. And I certainly wouldn’t had, you know had the time to think about things that make me a bit sad 
I should get over meself really 
Oh well

Even very very clever men from way way way way way back then 
Could only ever treat the symptoms
This is an old wound
It ain’t nowt new

nowt new (with Harmful if Followed)

Cast of characters:
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell --composition, piano, and strings
Ross Smithe-- @ross-smithe --lyrics, vocals, mix, mastering, and production
Josh Clary-- @josh-clary-1 --bass and mandolin
This is a song written on the piano by JJ, who wanted to share the creative process with two of his esteemed colleagues. He asked Ross to come up with some vocals and lyrics, which Ross did in a profoundly deep way. His experience with both life and singing is really evident in this. Then JJ asked me to add my multi-instrumental skills to the mix. So, I added bass and mandolin, with the great direction of JJ and Ross. Then JJ added some synth strings to the mix, too. Finally, Ross mixed, produced, and mastered it. 
  This is the first time, hopefully of many, that this trio has worked together. JJ and I, of course, are in the Eclectic Collective together, but this was our first time working with Ross. We were both really impressed with his work, and found him a real pleasure with whom to create. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did recording it. Happy Thanksgiving!
Lyrics:Here, here in this moment, I'm free, I'm free 
And here, here in this moment, I see, I see 
Here is a moment, a beautiful moment, to be, just to be 
Here, here in this moment, I live, I live And here, here is a moment, to give, oh to give 
To give what I can't keep, to gain what I can't lose 
To lay it down, and find a better way Oh, lay it down 
Give it away 

Here in this moment in time (here in this moment in time) 
Cherish this gift of life (cherish this gift of life) 
This beautiful moment in time (this beautiful moment in time) 
Cherish this gift of life (cherish this gift of life) 
Cherish this gift of life 

And always be caring, loving, and sharing 
It is the way, it is the way 
To give up all you are, to gain what you will be 
To lay it down, and find a better way Oh, lay it down 
Give it away

"THE OTHER JOURNEY" - the 13th and the final track from "Metamorfosi" album telling the story of a composer who wanted to write music for "Alice in Wonderland" and found herself falling through a rabbit hole opened in her piano. This track is the final chapter where the journey of Composer-Alice to the "Metamorfosi" land comes to an end... but this is just the beginning of the other journey..

---

This story is not about Alice. Although, we’ve all had Alice in our lives. As well as the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts and Jabberwocky, in one form or another. This story is about you. This story is about me.

My life has been swirling around Wonderland for a long time. I have two cats who are as mischievous as Cheshire’s smile. I have Mad Hatter for a husband, crazy enough to believe in three impossible things before breakfast and all day long, and even crazier to make them real. I have Tweedledee and Tweedledum for kids, complementing each other in curious ways. I have my own inner demons to fight against, be it the Red Queen or Jabberwocky.

Together with my Mad Hatter we’ve been playing this eternal chess game of Metamorphosis, transforming dreams into reality. We both felt like Alice’s story just wanted to hatch through our music into the wonder of this world. And it finally did, bending time and reflecting the sky. All we had to do is making the choice to follow the White Rabbit down the Rabbit Hole. It took us to places we’ve never been before. And this journey becomes Curiouser and Curiouser ever.

We are all mad here!

The Other Journey

"The Other Journey" from "Metamorfosi" by Milana Zilnik

Psalm 118:24… a reminder that no matter how bad your day was, God still made it for us to rejoice in.., if you are not a believer, just substitute @ “the universe”, every time you hear the word “Lord”… good luck! … a song written around a weird bass line, that came to me… just a simple song of wrestling with the Lord for control.., pretty sure I am outnumbered. Hope you enjoy it!
