-----
I walk the streets with my head down, fleeting shadow
I do not see you face passing slow
lost in my phone’s glow

And I feel sad, I don't know why the silence stays
I don’t see the time slipping through the haze
In this empty days

In these silent days

Many time, many miles, many left behind
for the single one, once in you life, closer to your mind
Anyone, anytime, may reshape your day
Cause everything, everywhere connects in a way

To change my eyes, to feel the wide, I'll dig inside
A single word can turn the tide
Your smile is the guide

Forget the screens, embrace what's real, I miss my friends,
The path goes on, but never ends
Till the darkness bends

Till the darkness bends

Many time, many miles, many left behind
for the single one, once in you life, closer to your mind
Anyone, anytime, may reshape your day
Cause everything, everywhere connects in a way

Everybody needs to believe
Everybody needs to find someone somewhere
----
Je marche dans les rues, la tête baissée, ombre fugitive.
Je ne vois pas ton visage passer lentement,
perdu dans la lueur de mon téléphone.

Et je me sens triste, je ne sais pas pourquoi le silence persiste.
Je ne vois pas le temps s'écouler à travers la brume,
dans ces jours vides.

Dans ces jours silencieux.

Beaucoup de temps, beaucoup de kilomètres, beaucoup de personnes laissées derrière
Pour cette seule personne, une fois dans ta vie, plus proche de ton esprit
N'importe qui, n'importe quand, peut remodeler ta journée
Car tout, partout, est connecté d'une certaine manière

Pour changer mon regard, pour ressentir l'immensité, je vais creuser en moi
Un seul mot peut changer le cours des choses
Ton sourire est le guide

Oublie les écrans, embrasse ce qui est réel, mes amis me manquent,
Le chemin continue, mais ne finit jamais
Jusqu'à ce que l'obscurité s'incline

Jusqu'à ce que l'obscurité s'incline

Beaucoup de temps, beaucoup de kilomètres, beaucoup de personnes laissées derrière
Pour cette seule personne, une fois dans ta vie, plus proche de ton esprit
N'importe qui, n'importe quand, peut remodeler ta journée
Car tout, partout, est connecté d'une certaine manière

Tout le monde a besoin de croire
Tout le monde a besoin de trouver quelqu'un quelque part

Reshape Your Day

Lyrics :
La musique résonne, on danse, on s'allume.
Sorties de la boîte, cœur battant la chamade,
Dans la nuit qui pulse, lumières sur le bitume,
Dans ma caisse, tu es prête pour une balade.

Je démarre à peine que déjà tu me touches
Le vent dans nos cheveux, tu te mets à rire,
Ton haleine chaude, la douceur de ta bouche
Ma botte enfonce la pédale, sans faiblir.

(Chorus)
Dans ma vieille B M, à minuit,
On roule vite, la nuit nous sourit.
On s’aime, sous le ciel étoilé,
Toi et moi, ensemble à jamais.

Les lumières pulsent sur le tempo des basses 
Ton parfum mélange fleurs, vodka et désir
Tes doigts agiles s’infiltrent et m’agacent  
Crispée sur le volant, je commence à gémir

Je me gare soulagée avant de perdre contrôle.
Je suis en sueur, mon cœur tambourine
On regarde la mer, ta tête sur mon épaule.
Nos parfums mêlés dans la saveur marine.

(Chorus)
Dans ma vieille B M, à minuit,
On roule vite, la nuit nous sourit.
On s’aime, sous le ciel étoilé,
Toi et moi, ensemble à jamais.

Culotte tombée, l'ambiance est chaude,
Toi jambes écartées sur le capot brûlant.
Le plaisir qui vibre dans tes yeux émeraude
Accueille entre tes cuisses mon corps ondulant

Je t’invite à continuer sur la banquette en cuir.
Les vitres s’embuent de nos ébats haletants
Tes pieds contre le verre, tu t’arques de désir 
Le plaisir nous submerge de son souffle brûlant.

(Chorus)
Dans ma vieille B M, à minuit,
On roule vite, la nuit nous sourit.
On s’aime, sous le ciel étoilé,
Toi et moi, ensemble à jamais.

(Bridge)
Les feux du bonheur nous incitent au voyage,
Tu me dit « encore un tour », je réponds « oui »,
Ton corps défile comme un nouveau paysage,
Dans la nuit torride, nos orgasmes sans répit.

(Chorus)
Dans ma vieille B M, à minuit,
On roule vite, la nuit nous sourit.
On s’aime, sous le ciel étoilé,
Toi et moi, ensemble à jamais.

Et quand le jour fatigué se lève enfin,  
nos silences moites s’enlacent encore,  
la voiture garde nos ombres, nos parfums,  
l’amour s’ancre dans la fusion de nos corps.

Dans ma caisse

A Remembrance

lyrics:

Queen of the Thorn Signal
------------------------

Through the veil of her own land
in his mind where is only sand
no proof of water or living sign
even the toughest insects die
She's the head of this war machine
he thinks she rules and that her hands are clean

yeah yeah yeah and she's calling now
yeah yeah yeah and she's calling now

She sends the signals of her own doom
he receives the signals that will kill him soon
shattered kingdom creates brooding misery
This marks the fall of your own history

Queen of the Thorn Signal yeah yeah yeah Queen of the Thorn Signal
 
Self destruction is in his pockets now
She's becoming the monster in his head now
no proof of life, no proof of love
She radiates hell and it's not from above
it was his choice and it's not real
Her spectral gaze, seals this fatal deal

Queen of the Thorn Signal yeah yeah yeah Queen of the Thorn Signal

(p) & (c), HH 2025.

💥C'est une histoire vieille comme le monde, un homme convoite deux femmes mais n'est amoureux que d'une seule. La maitresse lui clame sa détresse et met un terme à la relation. Malgré la douleur, elle en ressort victorieuse, car elle se débarrasse de l'emprise que cet homme à sur elle. Merci à Nadja.K de s'être prêtée au jeu, une correction de la voix avec Melodyne et autotune pour un résultat presque naturel.🎶 J'espère que vous apprécierez ce titre autant que nous avons eu plaisir à le travailler.🤍
💥This is a story as old as time: a man desires two women but is truly in love with only one. The mistress voices her despair and ends the relationship. Despite the pain, she emerges victorious, freeing herself from his hold. Special thanks to Nadja.K for joining in this project. A touch of Melodyne and Autotune helped refine the vocals for an almost natural result.🎶 We hope you’ll enjoy this track as much as we enjoyed creating it.🤍

Extrait :
[Verse 1]
Tu m’appelles juste parce qu’elle t’a laissé en plan
Tu aimes venir me prendre et faire semblant
Dans la tête, t’as encore les courbes de mon corps
et sous tes mains, des caresses qui me jettent un sort (ugh)
[pré-chorus]
Ouais, maintenant je vois clair dans ton jeu… je vois clair dans ton jeu…
Tu aimes, me mettre en feu et me laisser seule au pieu 
et j’ai le seum, j’ai le seum.
[Chorus 1]
Dis-moi, où est Luna ce soir ?
Tu sais, c’est l’amour de ta vie
Cheveux noirs, yeux bruns
Un corps plus beau que le mien
Alors, Où est Luna ce soir ?
Je sais qu’elle squatte tes pensées
Comme si elle hante les miennes
Elle est ta lune, je n'suis rien pour toi,
Pourquoi tu perds ton temps dans mes draps ?
Tes mains glissent sur mes cuisses
Et moi je me demande pourquoi,
Alors, qu'au fond, elle est ton supplice  :
Alors « Où est Luna ce soir ? »

Où est Luna ce soir ?

I used a phrase from a comment I received from Stars Mighty Fine as the title.
First, I see a chaotic array of tones, and then I try to create some kind of structure from that chaos. I think the process of composing is simply trying to control the song and sound with all my might.

We Control with All My Might (357)

Another snippet from Caligo Paean - beware of gifts when chasing gods : ) 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.

Symphony in E Flat Minor - Conflictus 
I have attempted to create a potent emotional and technical foundation in this composition by using E-flat minor, to portray two critical intervals to define conflicting characters,  the minor second and the minor seventh.

To create an emotional profound darkness I have used cello melody in (E-flat minor) to immediately establishes a somber, monumental, and deeply introspective mood, setting the stage for a serious dramatic work that follows.

Acute Tension (Minor Second) has been deliberately used to injects the music with sharp dissonance and anguish. This abrasive, element drives conflict, often suggesting the intensity of the E-flat Phrygian mode.

Somber Depth (Minor Seventh) strings provide the essential melancholic color and stability of the minor key to allow for broad, cohesive irritating melodies to define chaos and conflict.

The use of alchemy pads & strings in between the abrasive, close tension of the minor second and the deep has successfully created a reflective sorrowful mood of the minor seventh.

Lil Red Boots is a heartfelt country story written by Melinda Klotz Mercer and performed by Kitty Carmichael. Inspired by childhood memories of the red boots her grandfather gave her at age five, the song celebrates courage, faith, and the fearless spirit that carries us through life. With warm acoustic guitars, fiddle accents, and an uplifting chorus, it’s a modern country anthem of resilience, gratitude, and new beginnings.

The Snow Queen - The Fox

Was discussing The Replacements with a friend and had the urge to write a tune in that vein, and, gosh, there was inspiration right there in the daily news.  This was a quick & dirty one day write &  record, but then quick & dirty seems to be the order of the day.

hey mr tangerine man you're not fooling me
I'm not stupid and we all know what you're trying to do
hey mr tangerine man you're not fooling me
and you know we won't be mourning when they're burying you

you rake the air incessantly with your heinous flapping lips
while your golf shirt hides your tits
and your tiny grey hands twitch
all the citizens feel gypped
we're all waiting for a massive stroke to do you in
i'm ready to move anywhere I want to emigrate
but come back for the parade past the golf course where you're laid
i'll fight the urge to urinate

Born To Be Wild


this song  is partly a tribute to actor, singer, dancer, artist, and author Russ Tamblyn, who turns 91 in December.
I wrote the song around the time I retired from my  medical career. So  along with references to  Russ and childhood memory, there are veiled allusions to this strange  new exciting but a bit unsettling life circumstance in the lyric.
As per Russ 
He danced and acted in Westside story  and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers most famously but was in a bunch of movies in the 50s and 60s.. and ....my favourite as a kid was the War of the Gargantuas, which  for Russ was a creative low point ..but  it got him to Japan
opening clips from WotG...the middle and end clips from his movie Highschool Confidential

PS The line in the last verse Words stuck in my throat..lifted from the song The Words Get Stuck in My Throat From the movie War of the Gargantuas...sung by the wonderful Kipp Hamilton who has to contend with a Gargantua groupie..dont worry she survived....clip of the song in the movie is here
https://vimeo.com/358726099?fl=pl&fe=sh
Devo did a cover of it years later


Russ Tamblyn

I'll get a Tokyo life                             
Say some words off the script          
Monsters in play                                
Career gone adrift                               
I can make it in spite                          
Of the way they dub my lines              

I'll sail to the East
Maybe take me a bride
Dance out regret
Act up with pride
Let me do it 
Let me do it
Let me do it brother, what do you say?
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day

I wanna be cool
I’d like to be strong
A fighter who dances
A singer of songs
Add some rhythm 
Put some muscle on these rhymes 

The streets of the West
I'll be taking a side
Living forever 
This world’s opened wide
Let me do it
Let me do it
Let me do it, what do you say?
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day 

In 1970                                         
I saw him on the TV screen        
With those creatures, one             
brown, one green                         
My Gargantuan celluloid dream   

They said I could bail    
I’d much rather swim
Head above water
Life on a whim
I can make it in spite
Of their doubts and their goodbyes

Words stuck in my throat
What's left to say?
There's only myself
I can't stay away
Let me do it 
Let me do it
Permit me if I may
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day

Cast of Characters:

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals, lyrics, Ovation acoustic guitar, and composition
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and upright piano
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass and Collings mandolin
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST fiddle
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Earle Scruggs custom banjo, production, mix, and mastering

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl siezed on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about. 
  Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section. 
  Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.
  We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carls songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine

True Red Devil-Eclectic Collective

The Death of Freedom

Drum loops were from Yurt Rock's deep fried indie rock guitar kit. I picked them because they sounded delish. 

Rebels

We were so much better
When we bled together
Standing on my shoulders
We were young like soldiers

When your fire lit the stack
We were never coming back
As the embers filled the sky
Someone else was in your eyes

You will always see
What you wanna see
And you never will know
That you’re losing me
I am your defiance
So we stand like giants
For everything

You wrote my name up on a wall
Painted bloody red “for all”
You fought for me those darkest nights
You stayed with me, until the light

But when your fire lit the stack
We were never coming back
Now my embers fill the sky
And you will watch as freedom dies  

You will always see
What you wanna see 
And you never will know
That you’re losing me
I am your defiance
Up against the giants
Of everything

You’ve taken all there is to take
But no one’s left to take the blame
It’s been years since we were first
And your still dreaming from the curse
Of the door that’s painted gray
And takes you home from far away
And you go through its weary frame
You see familiar flames ablaze

Of when your fire lit the stack
And I was never coming back
Now my ashes fill the sky
And you have watched as freedom dies

You can always be
What you wanna be
Will you be my rebel?
Until the score is settled?

I will always be
What you wanted me to be
Don’t make me a number
For your trophy hunters
 
We will always be
What you wanted us to be
I am your defiance
Will you be my giant?
