'green nails'

lyrics: Scotty & Gems

Baby, paint your nails green today,
naked on the couch as I play with my lady.
As the sun shines through the curtains delicately. 
And the birdsongs that surround us match my melody. 

Greeeeen naaails.
And soooo free.
Come back one day and make me feel this way.
One day.





green nails

Reminiscence of Chief Joseph and the Nez Percé war 1877.
Some words about the historical background can be found here:
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Chief-Joseph

The lyrics are in part an excerpt of the original words which Chief Joseph spoke to his followers of the Nez Percé, when they finally surrendered on October 5th, 1877.


In the shadows of our fears,
We’ve shed too many tears.
Now it’s time to break free,
From the chains of enmity.

From the battles we have faced,
We’ve learned the costs of hate.
But in forgiveness we’ll find strength
To go beyond this war at end.

What he told me before
I have in my heart. 
I am tired of fighting. 
Our chiefs are dying.

Maybe I shall find them among the dead.
Hear me, my chiefs, I am tired.
My heart is sad and sick 
From where the sun now stands
I will fight no more forever.

The storm raged hard and broke our souls
The years of war did take their toll  
The face of yours turned into grey
No saving shores in any way 

What he told me before
I have in my heart. 
I am tired of fighting. 
Our chiefs are dying.
Maybe I shall find them among the dead.
Hear me, my chiefs, I am tired.
My heart is sad and sick.
From where the sun now stands 
I will fight no more forever.

Fight No More Forever

It's a special honor that my dear friend Michele Ansani asked me if I would like to work on a song he wrote years ago called 'Alla Fine della Fine delle Fini' (To the end of the end of the ends) which is a great track. When I listened to it I said to Michele that I thought the song is already finished and asked what I supposedly could do with it. He said, that he wasn't going to publish it and wanted me to work on the root idea of the song to create something new.  Thank you so much Michele for being so generous to leave the basic song idea to my purposes (all flaws are mine).

Listen to his wonderful music here, you all know him anyway: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani

One day I walked the shores of time
Wiping away the footprints left behind

Tossing stones into the sea  
Just to watch the ripples making their way back to me  

What if these dancing rings were just memories
Would they come to life once more to set me free?


Abandoned this place that I called home ￼
and took that boat I was hiding for so long 

Facing the storms, past the sirens song
The love of gods in mind may have led me wrong

Set course to the end of the end of the ends
So when you step off the edge of the world 
Make sure that your wings are spread 

When I stepped through the gates of Plutonion
Caught between Scylla and Charybdis I would be found

Sacrificed the ones to whom I belonged
A wise man would rather be envied than being wronged

Set course to the end of the end of the ends
So when you step off the edge of the world 
Make sure that your wings are spread 

Set course to the end of the end of the ends
So when you step off the edge of the world 
Make sure that your wings are spread

Off the Edge of the World (with Michele Ansani)

Voici le deuxième volet de l’aventure “Pluie et Lumière”
La première fois que j’ai entendu ce magnifique instrumental de Dan, j’ai tout de suite su que je devais raconter quelque chose de spécial, de sombre mais en même temps plein d’espoir. Cette piste devait être également  précédée d’un beau prélude pour que l’histoire soit complète:

Here is the second part of the “Rain and Light” adventure
The first time I heard this beautiful instrumental from Dan, I immediately knew I had to tell something special, dark but at the same time hopeful. This track also had to be preceded by a beautiful prelude for the story to be complete:

PLUIE ET LUMIERE

C est là en plein cœur de l’orage qu’Elle surgit là
C’est depuis le fond de moi qu’elle me foudroie
Elle surgit là, quelque part

Ces nouvelles montagnes à grimper…
Je me retourne une dernière fois vers ce monde, 
ce bout de moi que je vais laisser,
Seule une  partie va me rester.
Je regarde l’autre se détacher,
Je n’ai pas le choix, je dois avancer:
A cette main du destin, je ne peux résister.
Une nouvelle partie va se rejouer 
Est-ce à prendre ou à laisser?
Vais-je partir vers ces contrées insoupçonnées?
Les dés de ma vie ont été relancés
Vais-je la même rester?
Tout vient de se bouleverser
Toutes les pages de ma vie se sont retournées
Tout a été redistribué…pour tout recommencer
Tel un phoenix je renais de mes cendres 
Je ne peux plus prétendre…

Je regarde une dernière fois tout autour de moi…
Et je fais alors le premier pas 

Et même si la pluie ne cesse pas
C’est une autre histoire qui commence pour moi 
Elle surgit là, elle surgit là….


RAIN AND LIGHT

It is there in the heart of the storm that it arises there
It’s from deep inside that it strikes me down
it appears there, somewhere

These new mountains to climb…
I return one last time to this world,
this piece of me that I am going to leave behind,
Only part will remain with me.
I watch the other one break away,
I have no choice, I must move forward:
I cannot resist this hand of fate.
A new game will be played again
Take it or leave it?
Will I leave for these unsuspected lands?
The dices of my life have been rolled again
Will I stay the same?
Everything has just turned upside down
All the pages of my life have turned over
Everything was redistributed…to start all over again
Like a phoenix I am reborn from my ashes
I can no longer pretend...

I look around me one last time...
And then I take the first step

And even though the rain doesn't stop
This is another story that begins for me
It arises there, it arises there

Pluie et Lumière (with DAN-DT)

Here is another track from Michele Ansani that I was invited to. On an old piano base from Michele,
I delivered alto and tenor sax, then he finished the arrangement with some keyboard phrases. ........
He dedicated this piece to the comet of the century.

Timeless

This is a song about breaking up with someone who cannot love you for who you are.

Fragile Front

You don't even know enough
You don’t even know
The pieces I have shown
The rest was hiding in the mud

Why was I never enough?
You’d always explode
With every little joke
All the ways I needed to be tough

Don't say you’ll never say that again
Or take back all the love you spent
It's mine, and I'll never give an inch
Just say you loved me for pretend
Hold me, not like when we were friends 
It's fine, everything has an end

Why did you blame me so much?
You would always scold
Until it filled your soul
With everything you took from us

I know I don't need your love
There are times I need
A little more than dreams
That make up your fragile front

Don't say you’ll never say that again
Or take back all the love you spent
It's mine, and I'll never give an inch
Just say you loved me for pretend
Hold me, not like when we were friends 
It's fine, everything has an end

Just say you and me will pretend
We gave everything we could spend
To find, this is the very end

This song began with David, who wrote it on the guitar, synth, and bass over a programmed beat he created. He and Josh met more than two months ago and decided to do a collaboration, based on mutual enjoyment of and respect for each other's music. Dave had this song pretty much fleshed out, although it was still a skeleton when he offered it to Josh, who, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. 
  Dave asked us all to compose our own parts for the song, so we all got to work right away doing that. We all realized that the first order of business would be to get a real beat on this, so Ken accomplished that task with some dynamic, Eastern inspired drums and percussion, which he plays throughout the song. JJ then stepped in and added his best eastern flute magic. Stephen was next with the perfect-vibe sitar you hear in the first two sections. 
  Josh came next to add his five-string fretless bass to the mix, augmenting David's high, staccato bass with his deep, low tone bass. Then, for the third section, where David's Gilmore-esque guitar solo resides, Josh drops out, allowing for Dave's awesome bass playing in that section. However, Josh does come in again towards the end, in the final section, too. Also, in that section, Tez dropped an augmented, harmonic, electric fire, complementary guitar part. Then, David's frequent collaborator and friend Ron added some well blended, ethereal synth to the first section, too.
  Once we had the instrumental parts pretty much laid down, we began to discuss getting a woman to sing on this, as David was inspired by The Great Gig in the Sky, by Pink Floyd, and we all agreed. Who we found to do it actually blew all of our minds. JJ, being familiar with her music, contacted Elpi first, and we were all lucky enough that she agreed to do it. Having heard Mediterranean music all her life in Greece, she tapped into what her husband said were her "ancient Greek roots," for her spectacular vocal performance. She finds all the modal notes and places them perfectly throughout her sections. 
  But before we were done, Mark came through with some really striking talking drum parts in the first two sections, too. Once we had everything in the can, David took over, both with some masterful editing and production, and with the balanced, dynamic mix. The mix was a formidable task, but he did it with considerable skill, also taking everyone's opinions into account, which is a talent in and of itself. When he was done with the mix, he turned it over to Stephen for the mastering, which the latter did to everyone's satisfaction, as always.
  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with David, Elpi, and Ron, and we all hope it's the first of many, as we welcome them into the EC family. They all have some wonderful music on their pages, too, so do yourself a favor and check out all of them, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
