Emisarios   

La noche me encima queriendo desanimar.
la lluvia decide trayendo un tesoro
Es agua del cielo, me dijo prestá atención.
Sos hijo del suelo, sos savia, sos bendición.
hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos solos.
y a su corazon recibo igual.


El tiempo me envuelve, sumando me arrastra,
Mi alma y el cielo, son fuego que basta.
Son flama que grita, son guerra sin rendición,
son  furia del trueno, caida y resurrección.
Hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos solos
y a su corazon recibo igual.

Hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos locos
y a su corazon recibo igual.

LYRICS

I'm the people pleaser
What can I do for you today?
Today
I'm the people pleaser
Tell me what you need and I'll say
Hey yeah yeah
You need a dime, I'll give a five
You need a lift and I'll buy you a car
I'm the people pleaser
What do you need, I'll make sure
I'll make sure, I'll make sure, I'll make sure

People Pleasing is killing me
People pleasing is wearing me down
People pleasing is killing me
People pleasing is gonna make me leave this town

I'm the people pleaser
I'm scared to say what I gotta say
Gotta say
I'm the people pleaser
Give me what time and I'll plan to stay
plan the day
You need a dime, I'll give you five
You need a lift, I'll buy you a car
I'm the people pleaser
What do you need, I'll make sure
I'll make sure, I'll make sure, I'll make sure

People Pleaser

Back in 2003 I was in a covers band called Airplay and we went in the studio off the advice of our agent to record 3 live cover tracks for promo.
This was so we had a product to use as a reference for bookings. 
The Darkness -I believe in a thing called Love ( on my cloud) 
James - Sit Down 
& The Undertones - Teenage Kicks 

The James song "Sit Down" had a number of chart positions. Its original version reached number 77 on the UK Singles Chart in 1989. A re-recorded version released in 1991 reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The song also had a peak position of 53 in 2017.
The song "Sit Down" by James, written by Tim Booth, expresses a sense of shared vulnerability and offers a comforting message of support and connection. It's often interpreted as an anthem for those struggling with mental health, specifically dealing with loneliness, sadness, and the feeling of being "touched by madness." 
It was always a favourite of mine in the covers band as it’s now become an anthem on indie playlists. The track as been streamed over 109 million times on Spotify. 
The last time I personally performed it was in Spain back in 2019 and enjoyed every minute. 
I must admit we did rock it up from the original ! 
Hope you enjoy this cover……
I give you Airplay the covers band with me on lead vocals.
Lee Hughes - Guitars
Andy Harris -Bass
Kev Smith - Keyboards 
Dave Robins - Drums

This song started as many of our best do, with Chris coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. He shared it with the rest of us shortly after, and we were all very excited to tuck into it. 
  Ken was fist at the trough for this one, adding his jazzy, expressive drums. Josh came in as soon as he had a beat to work with, adding his signature fretless bass to the mix. Not long after that, JJ broke out the hauntingly melodic piano and Shine On You Crazy Diamond timbred synth you hear throughout. 
  Once it had a good structure to it, Mark came in and added the dynamic cello swells that open the song, some subtle strings, the melodic clarinet and flute, and a bit of synth pad near the end to spice up the soup a bit. He also had the great idea to ask Nyla to add some vocals, which she did in her typically dynamic and expressive way. Last, but definitely not least, we convinced Stephen to add some of his perfectly mood-setting banjo. 
  Once it was all in the can, it actually sat for several months before being revived by Chris, who also did the production and mix, expertly, as always.
   This song is an example of Eclectic Collective coming together to bring another one of Chris' brilliant songs to life. You should check out his new albums on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0RmKLMyiXe4eVeXa032MDV?
  Also, this is our first time collaborating with Nyla K. We wanted to find a way to include her talents on this one, and her vocals here are magical. You can hear a lot more of them on her page if you follow the link next to here name in the credits, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Nyla K: 

I once overheard 
a hushed up conversation 
'tween the fishes coming home 
and thank god for a holiday
yea
making the bull frogs sing for joy
as they awake
yea
...and this... is what they had to say

Spanish moss and bullfrogs
cattail cotton in the wind
yea...
and won't U take me to the river
yea...
take me on down to the river
and U better not say....

Better Not Say (Eclectic Collective with Nyla K)

Jeff and I are happy to present our first live arena gig! Not really, but you can imagine.  This one started when Jeff was telling me about how he and Jo (sonic structures and silent stretches ) were writing some of their poetry in a stream off consciousness style, writing a line and then handing it off back and forth until it was done.   I suggested maybe we try something like that with the guitars.   So we did.  We exchanged ideas until it felt done and here's where we landed.   
This one was a lot of fun to pull together and really just kind of not think about it as we wrote.

Ending of a Dream (demo)

'flyer feature' 

Was at the local grocery
when something caught my attention and annoyed me.
The frozen fruit that I bought for smoothies
had somehow gone up in price as a 'flyer featch.*'
So, while I was checking out,
I asked a girl, barely in her teens, if she, too, agreed that they were being thieves. 

She didn't know. 

*flyer feature


flyer feature

Swing from that tree
Feet dangling
Your mind float free
Butterfly cloverleaf

Cowboy ride inside your eye
Cowgirl follow close behind
Lasso swinging overhead

Breeze, summer breeze
Sway branch of willow tree
Some of their leaves fall
All their days revolve 

Cowboy ride inside your eye
Cowgirl follow close behind
Lasso swinging overhead

Guess this calls for celebration
Watermelon, ice cream cone

Stream running clean, cool gurgling
Morning bring blood flow head to toe

Cowboy ride inside your eye
Cowgirl follow close behind
Lasso swinging overhead

Guess this calls for celebration
Watermelon, ice cream cone


Cloverleaf And Butterfly

Written by James Geer

In the ocean of my mind
From subconscious deep
A storm may come my way
Troubling my sleep
 
I’m Skirting the abyss.   
My Circumstances dire 
What has wrought me this
Circling the gyre

And crashing are the waves
And howling is the wind 
I find I’m save at bay
When I reach for you again

When thoughts of empty years
When I had lost at love
Attack my inner peace
Like hailstones from above

Safe at bay

My Time Travel Songs Do Not Make Sense

I Got Stuck in a Century with No Snacks

I write and record my own songs in my home bedroom studio. I play the guitars and bass, do all the singing, and have world class drummers from EZDrummer3 on all these songs. The song lyrics are from my head and heart. I hope to make more music soon so check back every so often👍
