Eternal Love

more melancholic piano ballads ... can't do a Cry tune like Roy O..but I give it a go with this tune of mine from a ways back


It’s Ok If You Cry

I heard a sad song                                                          
Floating in the sky from over there                             
The notes they echo in my mind                                 
Up on the rooftop  
In that cold December air   
I saw you play that tune, the hurtin’ kind                                         
And you thought no one was listening                      There’s no one around to hear                                    Feeling so alone, yet you still try                                 Standing tall, in the autumn of your life                     Singing how it’s ok if you cry                                                  

You sing the story
How you let it slip away
The years and all the ghosts you left behind
Fingers numb not bending well
Breath fogging when you sing
The words how they sear into my mind

So I stumble to the music
And fall down into the snow
Feeling so alone, lost in my lie
Trying to stand up, in the autumn of my life
Singing how it’s ok if you cry

It’s ok if you cry
Do it anytime
Don’t matter the season of your years
I need a little space tonight
I’m gonna climb up there with you
Where it’s safe to breathe and shed our tears

I grabbed a ladder 
And I climbed up for the view
Looked around to find you and your song
I was met by other voices,
Souls, whispers in the night
On their own rooftops, trying to sing along

They think there’s no one there to listen
There’s no one around to hear
Feeling so alone, but still, they try
Standing tall, in the autumn of this life
It’s ok if you cry

It’s ok if you cry
Do it anytime
Don’t matter the season of your years
I need a little space tonight
I’m gonna climb up there with you
Where it’s safe to breathe and shed some tears 




OK If You Cry

My grandfather is very sick and in the hospital. The only way I know how to show I care is to write a song. Ergo, I present: "Coolest Man". A song for Geoff Newton.

Lyrics:

Pour out a glass for my grandfather,
Wise were his days and his eyes were like rays of light,
that stilled,
the time,
away.
Oh, my grandfather is,
the coolest man,
you ever did meet.

Coolest Man You Ever Did Meet Yeah The
Coolest Man You Ever Did Meet Yeah The 
Coolest Man You Ever Did Meet Yeah The
Coolest Man

Coolest Man You Ever Did Meet Yeah The
Coolest Man You Ever Did Meet Yeah The
Coolest Man You Ever Did Meet Yeah The
Coolest Man

Oh, yeah.

Composed, performed and mixed by Norsa.

Coolest Man

Based on a recording I made of a music box in Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen

This song began with Steve, who wrote it on his guitar and sang 
it, before sharing it with Eclectic Collective about half 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. 
  
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 w/ Steve Vervaet)

Trav-ah-lynn Blues

I'm on this mountain, 
Just trying to get off 
I got me twenty more lengths left,
But I feel I'm getting soft
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

I got many miles of road ahead, 
N' I'm behind my time, me 
I'd like to be at the end of it all, 
But I simply can't break free
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

I'm on this cloud,
Spiralling out of control
I'd pull the cord,
B’daren’t before sugaring the bowl
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

My cigarette dangles,
I'm out of my tree
I got sand in my eyes, n’soon t’b 
Swept into this crushing sea
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues
