This is a recent track in the same vibe of my previous project "FÛ". I had so much fun using my recorder and clarinet, I wanted to extend a bit the experience. I don't know if this one is really finished but I wanted to share it anyways. What do you think? I hope you can feel the positive bird-like energy.

I have also another project including meditative instruments and custom hand made percussions. I'm very slow because I go to so many directions. Recently I did my first collective exhibition and sold 4 drawings out of 5. I was surprised how people really loved the work. I want to make more art as well as more music and meanwhile I have also to develop my work as an independent - I don't want anymore to give all my time to a work that makes me feel I'm sacrifing all my freedom. All of this is complicated to me but I'm happy to make some important choices. Well, I think I write too much about my life here. :) When I'm done with some "professional" stuff I have to do, I will be back with more music and more power for artistic purposes.

The song is about joining your first band at fifty and thinking maybe you should have done this earlier. Photo was taken at our first recording session, in the loft!

Paradise Highway

In the depths of all these twisted blooms
drifting solemnly in summers hue
glazing luminous on paths we tread
hanging in the wild days that fled

the distant past that hides in me
divides the light inside you see
the scars that slide will be
forever in these strange old seeds

patterns dancing in the air that looms
drifting shadows cross the skies we knew
glazing luminous on boughs that pledge
hanging in the wild days that fled

the distant past that hides in me
divides the light inside you see
the scars that slide will be
forever in these strange old seeds

divisions of light

Se retrouver
Juste face à face
Se reparler des jours divins
Comme de nos cafés à Corinthe
Se retrouver
À la même place
Moi qui m'apprête à m'en aller
Toi qui savoures tous tes retards

Un jour ou deux
Plus rien ne presse
Dis-moi que toi aussi tu veux
Avant que le temps nous délaisse
Se retrouver
Juste face à face
Se reparler des jours divins
Comme de nos cafés à Corinthe

Ce serait mieux
Si tu m'appelles 
Le soleil est talentueux
Pour faire d'une revanche, une belle
Reprendre du début à la fin
Ne plus rien d'autre se promettre
Ou juste un peu de sable fin
Et chaque minute comme la première

Tout rejouer
À pile ou face
Ne plus s'attendre des jours en vain
Et faire comme si tout allait bien
Des jours légers
Seuls en surface
La mer Égée pour replonger
Dans nos folies en demie teinte

Un jour ou deux
Plus rien ne presse
Dis-moi que toi aussi tu veux
Avant que le temps nous délaisse
Se retrouver
Juste face à face
Se reparler des jours divins
Comme de nos cafés à Corinthe

Ce serait mieux
Si tu m'appelles 
Le soleil est talentueux
Pour faire d'une revanche, une belle
Reprendre du début à la fin
Ne plus rien d'autre se promettre
Ou juste un peu de sable fin
Et chaque minute comme la première


Corinth

Finding each other
Just face to face
Talking of divine days
Like our cafés in Corinth
To meet again
In the same place
Me getting ready to leave
You who savor all your delays

A day or two
There's no hurry
Tell me you want it too
Before time runs out
To meet again
Just face to face
Talking of divine days
Like our coffees in Corinth

It would be better
If you call me 
The sun is talented
To make a revenge beautiful
From beginning to end
Nothing more to promise
Or just a little fine sand
And every minute like the first

Play it all over again
Flip a coin
No more waiting for days in vain
And pretend that all is well
Light days
Alone on the surface
The Aegean Sea to plunge
In our half-tinted follies

A day or two
There's no hurry
Tell me you want it too
Before time abandons us
To meet again
Just face to face
Talking of divine days
Like our coffees in Corinth

It would be better
If you call me 
The sun is talented
To make a revenge beautiful
From beginning to end
Nothing more to promise
Or just a little fine sand
And every minute like the first

The Bird Inside: Music

Lyrics:

We got our diamonds in our pockets
We got our chickens in a row
We finally got our shit together enough
To pack up our stuff
Let's go!

We got the city in our rear view
Heading down old country roads
The static turns into a signal
On this transistor radio
Here we go, here we go

Get on your feet
The music will take you there
Tonite, tonite
Je ne care pas ce soir

Get on your feet
The music will take you there
Tonite, tonite

Following this road to nowhere
Til we find our proper home
They can look but they won’t
Find us in our
New found nature zone
Here we go, here we go, let go

Get on your feet
The music will take you there
Tonite, tonite
Je ne care pas ce soir

Get on your feet
The music will take you there
Tonite, tonite

Splinted

Well your request
is invalid
Computer can always say no.
The search is over
As you linger in the afterglow.

World War III has already begun
While you were dancing & had your fun
I had to jump ship
and go with the flow
counted my blessings
Flew straight as a crow

Unusual patterns, 
Coding gone wrong
Your ethics' for sale: 
MFA took too long

Operator is void
your change is rejected
The download on hold &
Your name it is auctioned, 
bartered and sold...

I feel so splinted

What a fantastic decade!

Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise

Your appointment
Has expired,
Computer is still saying no!

A many-splendored thing
of which we need to sing!
A many-splendored thing
of which we need to sing!

I throw myself
Slowly I awake


The recording was dne in Cubase Elements 11, and contains a.o. Essence Plus 1.0 Freeware VST3, from Ronan Fed.

Neno, is a multi-genre composer, guitarist, keyboard & bass player, and occasionally singer with a warm voicecolor. He has also another project/page, Danen II (covers and support). We worked in the recent past together, resulting in songs expressing deep emotional feeling.

The instrumental "Lost souls" cuts already deep in the heart.. The lyrics i found in the deepest well.

Lost souls

If nothing is your name
And love is just a game
If it’s in  the wrong direction
that you’re looking for connection,

And you reach out for acceptance
And you want to be seen
But no one seem to care and everyone is mean

If you’re longing for attention
And you’re screaming it out
But alone in the desert
No one hears your shout
And you’re talking with the devil
Corse he is the only one 
Who tries to figger out 
what you want

"A Love Like No Other"

Recollections of flowing memories from when you entered my life
Your long black flowing hair & those beckoning eyes that still call me
It was obvious that we were never through which is why I returned
And in this world, who could ever say they knew of romance like this?
A Love Like No Other

Am deeply sorry for the pain I caused from an addiction that destroyed me
You were always the one & I struggled to cope with all I could not say
As time slowly passes by, I know in my heart you will be back in my arms one day
A Love Like No Other, a girl that gave me a reason to smile
A Love Like No Other, the connection of two souls that become one

she smiled sweetly (rolling stones cover)

talkin' to the birds 'n talkin' to the bees
talkin' to the wind 'n talkin' thru the trees
talkin' all along, singin' a song

makin' up a rhyme, makin' up child
take a little trip, take a little dive
take it on down, take it on down, oh

take a little surprise, take a little run
take a little somethin' you have never done

talkin' to the sky 'n talkin' to the wind
talkin' to the higher 'n the higher it begins everything

take it all around, take it instead
take it in stride, take it in there
take it all around, live it all around ya

i don't see ya, i don't hear ya
when you're not ya, so just be ya

everybody takin' 'bout everything else
everything something better than that
can't be this, can't be that
must be something in between

take a big dive, take it in stride
if you learned wrong, you might be right
can't beat it, yo, yo

if you should fall, if you should fail
get a good thrill, tell a ta tale
take on as you go, take it on as you know

Summerfruit (Kalimba Kitchen Challenge)

Cast of characters:
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar and lead guitar, seed idea

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- synth and organ

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –  piano, harmonica, VST fiddle, vocals, lyrics, mix, and production

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– layered guitar parts and fills, mastering

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – mandolin and four-string fretless bass

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song started as a guitar skeleton that had been a twinkle in Tez's eye several years ago. He'd been hanging on to it in hopes of finding a suitable home for it. When he introduced it to the Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it. First up was Ken, laying in his dynamic, powerful drums and percussion. Then Stephen laid down some fiery fills as well as a solid comp part on his guitar. That's about the time Mark started messing with it. He added some great VST fiddle, some real mouth harp, and piano and began working on the lyrics and vocal melody. Josh was atypically late to the party, but managed to get his bass in there, too, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ was next up with his splendid organ and synth to fill in the sound. 
  By this time, Mark had written and recorded some absolutely stunning vocals, which he added to the mix. We all decided that it had a Rod Stewart/Faces vibe to it, so we tried to amplify that flavor. To this end, Josh dropped in a mandolin part, as well.
  At this point, the song was kind of flat, though, in terms of overall dynamics, so the decision was made to amp up the crescendo at the end. Ken summoned his best Keith Moon energy, and Tez laid down a killer solo, while Stephen added the big Townsend chords. 
  Mark had been editing and mixing the whole time, and did such an excellent job with it, we decided to go with his mix from the group project. Stephen did master it masterfully before we put it out here, too, though.
  We're really proud of this song and hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Please remember to "share" it if you dig it. Thanks for listening!

Original lyrics by Mistermark:

Never was one for being sociable
but lordy knows how I tried 
every time I tried to talk to a girl 
she would always run away and hide

Nobody told me 
nobody cared
nobody told me 
the girl was scared

Back at the party you asked me to dance 
but I didn’t know what to do 
my two left feet had me runnin’ round in circles 
so I always came back to you 

Been so long since somebody held me 
made me feel i’m gonna win
but drinkin' that jug o’ juice gonna help me 
when I’m takin' it on the chin 

Nobody told me 
nobody cared
nobody told me 
they never dared

another party you ask me to dance 
and I don’t know what to do
my two left feet got me runnin’ round in circles 
and I'm still coming back to you...

Nobody Told Me - (Eclectic Collective)

Vers la lumière

Out on the porch, pickin' & grinnin' & drinking beer, waiting for the fiddle player and the mandolin guy. Neither one showed, so we did the best we could with the guitars. My daughter Julia helped out on the vocal harmonies.

This little ditty is my attempt to musically chronicle the 47 years my wife & I have been together.
