Fantastic song, great vocal harmonies and wonderful sax from Georg. 🎶😊👏🎷

Fantastic track! I really love it! I hope some string will keep it forever...

As a rule, I only repost tracks that seem to me clearly underplayed. This excellent track is a pardigmatic example.

Going to watch the new Dune movie next week, so I reupload an old track made about 2010 or thereabouts. Seems so long ago now, but so recent at the same time...Time is erratic.

Your Enthusiasm Is Contagious! (covid closure song)

Words and Music by Roger Whittlesey. Georg Boehme arranged and played all saxes. All other sounds by Whittlesey. roduced in New Hampshire and in Cologne, Germany. ©2024. Thank you, Georg, for participating in this process and for offering your awesome talents. 

What's this song about? String Theory is the notion that all time exists on a string—a string that never disappears. I'm a fan of the podcast/television show Closer to Truth, an American production hosted by a neuroscientist. The host interviews the leading experts on many scientific and philosophical subjects. In a recent podcast, scientists discussed String Theory, which became the inspiration for this song. 

One scientist explained that if you imagine a string along which all time exists—past, present and future—then you can understand that right now both the future and past still exist on that string. So, in theory, the past never disappears and the future is waiting to happen. He likened it to a DVD of a movie. At any point you can rewind or move forward. He suggests that this may be possible with time. 

What I drew from this notion is that all that has happened in my life, all the people I have known—in particular those who are no longer here—are, according to this theory, still existing on the string. Is this a comfort? I think it is for me. 

This is why in the refrain I sing, " I will always be with you." Even when I no longer exist, I will exist along the string, a string that connects me to a past before my own existence began and to a future that I will never see. 

Perhaps you will draw something different from this song and from the theory. In any case, I hope you enjoy the musicianship on this recording. Georg and I worked hard to produce parts and solos that we're proud of.

Feelings

EXIT

Music : Janne Hennie & PJ Project
Vocals & lyrics : Janne Hennie

I always felt alone
Had no one to lean on
There was heavy clouds over me..
I was let down as a child
And lost all trust in people
Had to find my own way to survive..
I was so afraid of being let down again
Of those who said they loved me
And said they were my friend..

So I built a wall
I built a solid wall
My own place where I could feel safe..
No one got through there
No one could sense my fear
No one could hurt me
I could hide behind my wall..

Then you came
And everything changed
You broke through my wall
Made sure I didn't fall..
I felt I could trust you
when you said you loved me
I felt safe when you said you were my friend..
You wiped all my tears..
I could share all my secrets
You held me close
And chased away all my fears..

I had built a wall
I had built a solid wall
My own place
where I could feel safe..
But you got through there
You could sense my fear
But you didn't hurt me
I didn't have to hide anymore...

Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, production, and mix

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass 
This song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm acoustic guitar, as well as his always solid, dynamic drums to it. In short order, Ken got the rest of the Eclectic Collective together on it, starting with Josh, who added his five string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Next up was JJ, who's keys, both organ and piano, can be heard livening the whole thing up. Then came Tez with his fiery ripping guitar fills. 
  We were all blown away, though, when Stephen added his equally ripping guitar fills as responses to Tez's parts. It really sounds like the two maestros are having a conversation. Not to be outdone, Chris sprinkled some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning. 
  Of course, we needed a competent producer to pull the whole thing together for us, especially with all the different voices in the stew. That person was Stephen, who was able to wrangle all of us and make it sound coherent, like the expert producer he is. 
  We all really enjoy working on Steve's songs, although it's been a few months since we did one together.  It's been proven many times before that if,you start out with something good, and you end up with some thing great. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:
I hope we ever meet x2
I hope to see you again
I hope to see you smile
I hope to be your friend x2
Hand in hand, hand in hand
Once again x3
I hope you shake my hand
On the boulevard
Gazing at the stars, gazing at the stars
I hope you ever be, a part of family
A comfort zone for me x2
To be around in everything I found
Please, please love me, forever being around
Hope you ever be, a part of me
Hope to touch your eyes, I hope to touch your love
One day you’ll see that you belong with me
