This is really nice. Hooked me from the very beginning.

EdgeOfDark

Gray

Simple but mysterious,  A mood piece with a good deal of reverb guitar. A rainy day song.  Maybe he becomes that guy, Who knows. 

Lyrics;
Drawn in black and white
A charcoal pencil start of day
And where the two should meet
A blended shade of gray

The sky has softly fallen
Mist covers the town
A clouded muted world
With barely any sound

I open up the curtains
Sallow light filters in
I stare into the emptiness
And wonder if it ends

The cover slowly thinning
The sky is shading blue
Yet the world I find inside my world
So empty without you

The morning haze is breaking
Still foggy is my mind
The coffee black the cup is white
Though gray is all I find

Heavy sigh through heavy air
Time's the only cure
Time can last forever
How long it takes no one is sure

Drawn in black and white
A charcoal pencil end of day
And where the two should meet
A blended shade of gray

Gray

A Memory of a bye gone time
She Said
Lyrics
She Said
What Are You Having ?
I Said
Newcastle Brown
Her Eyes Crocodilian Shadows
She Said
Shall We Sit Down ?
She Said
Do You Sing ?
I Said
Only Underground
Chorus
She Left Her Entourage To Decay
They Starred At Us Through A Puzzled Kind Of Haze
And Whos The New Guy Making Her Smile
They Hadnt Seen Her Face Lift For A While

Venus In Furs
The Furs Have All gone
The Only Thing Left Is A Harmonium Song
There Was A Vegetative Peace On Manchesters Streets
When The Powder Keg Was Lying At Your Feet
There Was A Vegetative Peace On Manchesters Streets
When The Powder Keg Was Within Your Reach
And Your Hair Used To Be Bleached 
And Now Your Lying Somewhere 
Out Of Reach
Chorus
End

She Said

Cast of characters:
Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel -MD—lyrics and vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–foundational guitar in first half, solo in the coda, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell– piano, keyboards, and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion, minor backup vocals

This latest Eclectic Collective song was probably the most collaborative in a true sense as we've yet released. The song began with Josh trying to piece together a couple of ideas that he'd come up with on the piano. He sent his ideas to JJ, who took out a connecter section that Josh had no intention of making anything of, and turned it into the body of the song. He returned the song to Josh complete with a signature JJ Terrell climactic coda. Then Josh added the bass to JJ's piano, with some help from the always solid drums from Ken. The way it usually goes is that Josh comes up with a scratch bass line to accompany the song, then Ken adds drums, then Josh goes back and adds the bass to fit the beat. Sometimes they go back and forth, but not this time so much. 
  Then, Stephen added the foundational guitar in the first section, and came up with the idea for the coda. Josh added some mandolin to the coda, too, after which Stephen redid the guitar in the coda to make it very dynamic and part the clouds. Tez finally came along and added the fiery solo and the charming fills in the main section. Most of this time, MD had been working on the narrative lyrics and refining his melodic vocals. Finally, Stephen put it all together for us and mixed it in his expert fashion. 
  We hope you enjoy the thrill of the climax, and also get a chuckle out of the lyrics, which are included below. 
  Let me tell you 'bout a dancer yeah!
A mysterious one
She dances to the decibel
She's a A shape shifter from the stars
She doesn't cast no shadow
The light makes things bizarre
She'll mold a new soul in you
And get your grandmother too
She'll bleed you from afar

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
Yeah!
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white!

Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about 

Oh baby you caught me off guard I think it's gonna be a early time and a Late night

Hubba bubba max
Hubble space snacks
I'm playing galaga 
Waiting for climax
It didn't take long
A few setbacks

One and done in the black hole
With the Shape shifting of my gun
The time was short but the blast quaked
It was all over before it begun
The frown Came over her like a storm cloud dropping down torrential rain
The frown came over me some time later when the little fetus from Mars slopped onto the terrain

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

{Get that thing away from me
Stay on your home planet}

Just One minute altered my universe
My reputation outside of the earth
Flys away in a hearse
Now I'm just the minute man of the cosmos
With an infant out there somewhere they call him... space Frankenstein that's what she knows

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

Brilliant Aura ACAPPELLA (Featuring diamondlajolie)

Ambient/New age track for meditation. Technically I have used a minimalistic approach. A midi file is generated with a NodeJS/Typescript application I have written, rendered with timidity and mixed with audacity on very old laptop running puppy Linux. I have added two nature sound layers. All the rest comes from the generated midi file. Enjoy.

'tarnished ground'

The darkness all around, 
it pulls me down into the ground
and, yet, I've found my being sound.
For the light that shines through found
some truths, confound.
A strange compound.

The fall of light rebounds
and calls on tarnished ground.
The fall of light glows round
and calls a distant sound.

tarnished ground (with Falsestart, Little Lone Waltz and Jonathan Beckenstein)

Where does love go? we seem to be born with a natural love for others..color blind..culture blind..and then we make teams/chose sides/wear uniforms. and lose empathy/common sense..
We need to remember the instinctual love and bond we have for and with each other if we hope to overcome the bombardment of self serving false narratives we get everyday on social media/news/political speeches ...


lyrics

went to bed last night and woke up in a dream
don't recall the details but it seemed so real
I was standing in a dark room in a cold wet sweat
not a sound to be heard, not a touch to be felt
and I thought to myself as I stood there alone
this must be earth and I was chilled to the bone

then I saw a blue light shimmering up ahead
I could see it was warm and I could feel it was strong
and I knew it had the power to push back the night
If I could only find a way to give it a chance
the light was the love trapped deep inside me
I had to find a way to set it free
the more I thought about it, the more I looked inside
I realized the key was me


now I stand in the morning sun but I am still cold and wet
surrounded by some many like me looking for the light
trying to find a way to push back the night

is the love that we seek just a blue light in a dream
or is it buried in our hearts waiting to be freed
we made it captive to our fears
we starved it with our greed
it strains to break the chains that we shackled to its feet

love is something we're all born with
it's ours to use or lose
it just gets hidden by our weakness and fear
trust in yourself and in all those around you
let the light shine bright and push back the night

where does the love go??

Dear friends,
Goodness must not tire because then evil wins!

They Wait

They are waiting for that tomorrow will be a brighter day
They wish that the daybreak shall be quiet - all days
These small kids are alone and they long for the day when their parents come
to bring them back to their home town
where all of them feel that they are safe

The situation has become worse than it ever has been
and we people in the world must react - all days
we must tell the world leaders that this is no way to rule the world
the future should change direction
to a brighter society for us all

As I understand there are only few
with minds that are distroying the life - on earth
are they filled up with hatred or is it a gread for power
it should not be so hard to change their minds
and thus they may enter paradise

They Wait

New <insert choice of word>

I've been pretty sick lately, so due to a lack of inspiration for anything new, this is another one dragged out of the archives and brought into 2024.
Thought it would be nice to have some guitar added too, so my trusty friend Ibnu Hadi D came up with the goods once again 😊
Always a pleasure working with him!

You Know Me Better

You Know Me Better (Remix) feat. Ibnu Hadi D

Time and thought are the two variables that influence fear in our brains. Time is the interval between the present and the future, where we anticipate potential threats and challenges. Thought is the cognitive process that we use to simulate the possible outcomes and scenarios that may occur. But both time and thought are not objective phenomena in themselves. They are only mental representations that we use to interact with the world. The source of fear is the dependence on these representations, and the assumption that they are more relevant than the empirical evidence of the present moment. To reduce fear, we need to regulate time and thought, and align with the current state, where all is stable and calm. This is the goal of scientific rationality, to live in the present, and to rely on the empirical data.

Time and Thought are The Root of Fear

⚠️ Note: This track began as a fan arrangement of Mystic Dream ~ Snow or Cherry Petal by ZUN (Team Shanghai Alice).
Through the creative process it evolved with new structure, harmonies, and instrumentation.
While it may sound like an original piece, it is still based on Touhou Project and should be considered a fan arrangement.
This week I end the songs and I released the "album", I hope you like this!

¿Pétalo o Nieve?

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
