A man asking for one more night with the love he let get away

The Ghost Of Us

Quand la musique est érotisme et sensualité pétillante et insouciante.

La Nuit Qui Nous D​é​vore

Amour Ténébreux

Another stroll in the park is another track off album number 2 in the trilogy  "There to here".
Words and music: Phil Bowen
Guitars, keyboards and vocals: Phil Bowen 
Mixed and produced: Phil Bowen
Lyrics: 
Verse 1
Another stroll in the park today
I need a little time to get away
Working so hard from morning to night
Those days that passed, they fade away

Verse 2
I thank Roger Williams for the acres of space
I feel that I am one of the human race
I have a place to call my own 
I have a place I call home
And than my brother for his warm embrace

Middle 8
One moment I have nothing but hope
Thinking each day, I have to jump a rope
No more listening to those who moralise
I see my world with new eyes

Verse 3
Another stroll in the park today
I look up to the sky and watch clouds float by
Birds, they sing as they spread their wings
A mother calls when her children cry.

There to Here  Pt. 2

Lyrics :

(Verse 1)
I wish one day you take me to New York
Dance all night and feel the city’s roar
We’d wander the busy streets of New York
You’d make me feel like I’m a movie star

Un jour j’aimerais t’emmener à New York
Tu s’rais ma star, mon plus beau des trésors
On f’rait la fête sur les toits de New York
Que notre amour puisse briller plus encore

(Pre Chorus)
I don’t mind anyway
Anywhere I go on holiday
I don’t mind anyway
All I want is party everyday

(Verse 2)
I wish one day you take me to Bangkok
To feel the heat it’s what I’m calling for
Live one of those famous nights in Bangkok
Where all the sins are secrets to explore

Un jour j’aimerais t’emmener à Bangkok
Tu s’rais ma reine, mon idole que j’adore
J’prierai dans tous les temples de Bangkok
Que notre amour soit de plus en plus fort

(Pre Chorus)
I don’t mind anyway
Anywhere I go on holiday
I don’t mind anyway
All I want is party everyday

(Outro )
Yeah let’s go to party
Yeah let’s move our body
Yeah Let’s go to party
And we’re all having a good time

PAS BESOIN D’SE CONNAITRE
POUR SE RECONNAITRE
ON S’EST DÉJÀ VU QUELQUE PART
ETAIT-CE À BALBECK
OU A PERROS GUIREC
ON S’EST R’CONNUS DIRECT

LE CIEL EST BLEU
LA MER EST VERTE
LAISSE UN PEU LA FENÊTRE OUVERTE
LE JOUR POUR LES MOUETTES 
LA NUIT POUR LES CHOUETTES
UN WHISKY TROIS CACAHOUÈTES

ON N’A PAS LA MÊME MÈRE 
ON N’EST PAS DU MÊME PÈRE 
MAIS ON A LES MÊMES JOIES LES MÊMES GALÈRES
VIEUX FRÈRE

C’EST TANTÔT MARÉE BASSE
TANTÔT MARÉE HAUTE
SI LE TEMPS PASSE A QUI LA FAUTE
Y’A QU’À SUIVRE LA CÔTE 
PRENDRE LE FERRY-BOAT
ET BARRE À BABORD FAUT QU’ÇA SAUTE

ON N’A PAS LA MÊME MÈRE 
ON N’EST PAS DU MÊME PÈRE
MAIS ON A LES MÊMES JOIES LES MÊMES GALÈRES
VIEUX FRÈRE

ET ON AIME LA MER 
ET ON AIME LE GRAND AIR
SANS PARLER DES GUITARES À L’ENVERS
VIEUX FRÈRE

PUISQU’ON S’EST JAMAIS VUS
ON S’EST JAMAIS REVUS
MAIS UN JOUR SANS SALAMALECS
QUE CE SOIT À BALBECK
OU A PERROS GUIREC
ON SE RECONNAITRA DIRECT

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, Roland Phantom 6 synth, vocals, lyrics, arrangement, composition
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ--  Yamaha Genos 2 and Yamaha MoXF8 
synth, organ, electric piano, and vocal harmonies
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet     
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaser through a VST synth FX device
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, Fender Acoustasonic acoustic guitar, Gibson Earl Scruggs Mastertone banjo, mix, production, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 
  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.
  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.
  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 
  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let's go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

Down for Anything (Eclectic Collective)

The Neighbor Is Not At Home Tonight

Never Too Late

Hello dear friends
my wonderful 10-years-old granddaughter is a mighty skilled rider.
She rides like a princess.
She inspired me to make this little song/fairy tale.

Lyrics in English

The Girl on the Horse

The silence is broken when she is riding in
on her black and white horse
and the hooves are clapping on the streets of stone
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


They are both very excited about the speed they now have reached
when they fly through the town
they are cheering and they are clapping their hands and hooves
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


The dust is smoking and the people move aside
they don’t want to get hurt
they are very impressed by the skill they show
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


Her Grand Dad keeps telling her, please don't fall to the ground   (=me!!)
You might break a lot of bones
but the girl and the horse, they just laugh at him
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


Lyrics in Swedish

Flickan på hästen

Tystnaden bryts när hon rider in
på sin svartvita häst
och hovarna klappar på gatorna av sten
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


De är båda väldigt exalterade över hastigheten de nu har nått
när de flyger genom staden
de jublar och de klappar händer och hovar
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


Dammet ryker och människorna flyttar sig åt sidan
de vill inte bli sårade
de är mycket imponerade av den skicklighet de visar
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


Hennes morfar säger hela tiden till henne, snälla fall inte till marken      (=jag!!)
Du kan krossa många ben
men flickan och hästen, de bara skrattar åt honom
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden

I hope you can feel the positive energy...I would be very happy ;-)

I extracted only her vocals from the original recording, arranged, recorded, and reconstructed the track. 
The arrangement is quite different from the original, so please enjoy her original song from the link below.

’Camera’

If I could always remember
The world reflected in these eyes,
I feel like we’d meet again someday.

A mysterious feeling, a sudden intuition,
I can't quite explain it,
But maybe it's a signal
From my future self.

Finding dreams, giving birth to hope,
And then this sky
Grows vivid with color.

Hold a camera in your heart
And let’s capture this feeling forever.
The colors and shapes
That awaken my soul
Will someday turn into my reality.
If I meet that world again,
This time, I’ll be the subject, too.
Say cheese!

Why do good and bad things
Always coexist?
I’ll embrace them
As life’s essence for me.

A smiling face, a troubled face—
If I line them up side by side,
I realize I love them both.

Hold a camera in your heart
And let’s capture this feeling forever.
The colors and shapes
That awaken my soul
Will guide me when I lose my way.
I’ll look back at the photos I’ve saved.
The ones that make my heart race,
They’ll be my signal to move forward.

Though there are times of hardship,
We can focus on what we want to see.
The lens of our focus
Is ours to control.

Hold a camera in your heart
And let’s capture this feeling forever.
The colors and shapes—
They’re all allies of mine.
They’ll someday turn into my reality.
If I meet that world again,
This time, I’ll be the subject, too.
Say cheese!

Let’s keep filming with the camera of our hearts.

『カメラ』

この瞳に映る世界を
ずっと覚えていたなら
きっとまた会える
そんな気がする

摩訶不思議だピンときたこと
上手く言えないんだけど
未来の僕からの
合図かもしれない

夢を見つけて　希望が生まれて
そしてこの空は　鮮やかに
色付いてゆく

こころの中にcameraを持って
この気持ちを覚えていよう
色も形も
こころを刺激する
いつか僕のリアルに変わって
あの世界とまた　出会えたら
次は被写体に　僕もなって
ハイっ！ポーズ✌︎✌︎

なぜいい事とわるい事は
いつも存在するのかな？
僕へのエッセンスと
受け止めてみよう

笑ってる顔　悩んでる顔
ふたつ並べたら　どちらとも
大好きだな

こころの中にcameraを持って
この気持ちを覚えていよう
色も形も
こころを刺激する
もしも迷ってしまった時は
撮りためた写真　見返そう
こころがときめく　それが合図
行ってみよう

嫌なことも時にあるけど
見たいものだけ見れば良い
フォーカスは　自分で定められる

こころの中にcameraを持って
この気持ちを覚えていよう
色も形も
みんな味方にして
いつか僕のリアルに変わって
あの世界とまた　出会えたら
次は被写体に　僕もなって
ハイっ！ポーズ✌︎✌︎

こころのcameraを回していこう

Imagine

I tried an experiment to see if adding a little scale to noise would work as a replacement for hard chords in a song. I envied the creators of rock music. I realized that incorporating a genre that I envy is a valuable motif.

I want to feel the elephant's anger (315)

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)

I was interested in music in my early youth... so I soon got my first synthesizer and set up a small home recording studio.
over the years i played keyboards in 5 bands...the direction was rock...pop...blues and soul.
in the meantime i have discovered my enthusiasm for creating my own songs.
it makes me happy when I can compose...arrange...mix...produce and create something new.
it's like a passion to experiment with different styles of music... and it gives me a lot of joy.
the only limit is your imagination...
is my motto.
and everything is possible...you just have to try.

music is pure magic...and part of the soul...
no one can escape her
let the music guide your mind...and that's the only way you'll get the freedom...you've always wanted
