Slide Guitar Anthem

I was a dot inside my own tapestry 
I was amused by all a those they things 
the did not see

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

I walked alone inside a my own territory 
I was a victim of my own stupidly 

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

no target on my back but
still they kicking me

while I'm down struggle to see
what's staring straight at me 
one way ticket to happy

I was inertias latest cripple casualty 
I was immune to all a their forms
and repartee

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody

なんかこんな歌詞になった。AIに聞いたら「いいんじゃない？」と言ってくれたので公開！
The lyrics turned out to be something like this. When I asked the AI, it said, ``Isn't it good?'' So I released it!

■歌詞
「雷さん」

何かが奪われるような気がするんだ
もうやめよう　全部やめよう
みんな壊れてしまえ

木曜の夜は荒ぶってる

いいねそれ
かっこいいね

そして雷に合わせて歌う
メロディーなんて何でもいいだろ
他人なんて勝手なものだよ
案外気楽に嫌ってくれるさ

かっこいいね


「これは正しい」とか
「間違っている」とか
影の審判団がいる気がする
LaLaLa..この妄想が
当分消える事はなさそうだ


いいねそれ
綺麗だよね

だから雷に向かって叫ぶ
最後に笑うのは僕の方だと
自分ルールで生きるだけだよ
案外気楽に無視してくれるさ

わかるかい

それでもいつでもそばにいてくれる
その人は大切にしていきたい

雨がやみ　風が吹き抜け
雲の切れ間から見えたのは月


あれこれ考えてしまうよりも
とりあえず何かしようか　しようよ
案外すぐだよ
ゴールはそこ

あれこれ考えてしまう夜は
とりあえず何かしようか　しようよ

■Lyrics
"Thunder-san"

I feel like something is being taken away
Let's stop it, let's stop everything
Let's all break down

Thursday night is raging

That's nice

So cool

And I sing along to the thunder
It doesn't matter what the melody is
Other people are selfish
They can easily hate me

So cool

"This is right" or "This is wrong"

I feel like there's a shadow jury
LaLaLa..This delusion

It's not going to disappear anytime soon

That's nice

It's beautiful

So I shout at the thunder
I'll be the one to have the last laugh
I just live by my own rules
They can easily ignore me

Do you understand

But even so, they're always by my side
I want to cherish that person

The rain stops, the wind blows through
The moon is visible through the gaps in the clouds

Rather than thinking about this and that
Let's do something for now
It's surprisingly soon
The goal is there

On nights when I can't stop thinking about this and that
Let's do something for now

Blomster

Skvattram in the wood
What made that awful sound?
La la la la la 
La la la la la
You ran home with your birds
La la la la la

Summertime, summertime
There is a question in the wind
Bright, white light
pressing your head to the ground
It´s hard to face such clarity
and not fall apart

You are a shapeshifter now
You are a shapeshifter now
Shapechanger now
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Summertime, summertime
There is a question in the wind
Bright, white light
pressing your head to the ground
It´s hard to face such clarity
and not fall

Skvattram in the wood
What made that awful sound?
You ran home with your birds
And that wasn´t cute

Skvattram in the wood
What made that awful sound?
You ran home with your birds
And that wasn´t cute

La la la la la 
La la la la la
You ran home with your birds
And that wasn´t cute
And that wasn´t cute
And that wasn´t cute

Lyrics

When I look in the horizon 
I see better days ahead
The sun is rising 
Forget the things I said

I was down but now I see
That when I feel the best
Is when you are
It’s when you’re looking at me 

Yellow horizon is so good
Yellow horizon is so good
Yellow horizon is so good

All the petty things are lost 
In the current of this mighty ocean 
Twenty foot waves are sweeping me in 
But I still breathe - there you are again
I still breathe - there you are
Forget the things I said 

Yellow horizon is so good
Yellow horizon is so good
Yellow horizon

Everyone has people they have loved who are no longer here.  We think of them and we miss them.  Have you ever dreamed about them? Had talks with them and could feel the warm from them? I have.  Most of them were with my father, who died when I was 35. Half my life ago.  When he hugged me, I could feel the warmth. When he walked away I felt such sadness. But that was not the only time we met in a dream.

We Are Not Robots

I don't know what she just did to me
I thought she was above such childish things
She said to me my truth will never change
But please don't expect me to act my age

Sometimes I just want to be child
Sometimes I want to get a little bit wild

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

She said people don't know me, they just see
My mistakes and eccentricity
When you get to know me you will see
I'm trying to escape reality

Sometimes I just want to be child
Sometimes I want to get a little bit wild

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah
Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Sometimes I just want to be child
Sometimes I want to get a little bit wild

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Alas, it wasn't me who played the guitar!. I gave it up a very,
very long time ago. Besides,
I can't remember how to pluck the chords... 🙄😊😁
(I used to sing it and play guitar when I was young).

In fact it is a guitar sound from the synthesizer going
through a sound module. But no synthesizer guitar sound can
replace the real sound of a guitar... Maybe now...
With the new technology.
Besides you can hear that it is a bit machine.

There are imperfections, I recorded it in one take.
When I sing, I only have the feeling once,
so inevitably the wrong notes and the pronunciation
mistakes are in the “box” as they say.

Written 11 years ago: recalls the days when music was vinyl only and a magical retreat from disabling matters of the heart


33 RPM NIRVANA

Flattened faces pressed up against the glass
It’s well known no-one needs to ask
People talking ‘bout how I’m feeling
If they were me yes they’d be reeling
They’d need time and recuperation
But at night I take up station
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away to 33 RPM Nirvana 

She’s a stranger that’s her right to choose
Who can blame her she don’t like old news
You might say she’s one go getter
And why did she not treat me better
I admit I loved her deeply
But right now I’m kind of sleepy
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away in 33 RPM Nirvana 

I’m pulling the curtains and switching it on
Watching the tone arm lower onto my black vinyl

Drifting away now the music is my river
Not analyzing I’m seeking separation
Through the mists of time I wander
What is life I’m bound to ponder
Gonna get to shrug my shoulders
Moving on and getting bolder
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away in 33 RPM Nirvana

33 RPM Nirvana

DIA ABURRIDO

El día parece estar                               Cmaj7-G
Un poco aburrido                                 Am-Em
Pero si llega la noche 
Será divertido 
Las chicas miran en espejos 
Sus vestidos 
Algunos usan los espejos 
Para estar distintos 
Las caras después se deforman 
Fumándose el alba 
Entonces golpean el pecho 
Las sombras que matan 
Y pasan todo el tiempo                    G-Am
Sin sentir el viento                                Em
Sí son parte del fuego 
No sienten nada

DIA ABURRIDO

Here’s my attempt at Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap. She inspired me to create my own music in my own house years ago. With piano and lots of vocal layers. 😊🎤🌷💕

Thank you to my lovely Sander for mastering again. 😊❤️🎶

Where are We
What the hell is going on
The dust has only just began to form 
Crop circles in the carpet
Sinking feeling

Spin me round again 
And rub my eyes
This can’t be happening 
With busy streets a mess 
People would start to hold their heads heavy

Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years
They were here first….

Oily marks appear on walls 
Where pleasure moments hung before the takeover
The sweeping insensitivity of this still life

Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
Blood and tears
They were here first…

Mmm what ya say
Oh that you only meant well
Well of course you did
Mmm what ya say
Mmm that it’s all for the best
Of course it is
Mmm what ya say
That it’s just what we need
You decided this…
Mmm what ya say
What did she say…

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid sweet talk 
Newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling no I don’t believe you
You don’t care a bit
You don’t care a bit
You don’t care a bit

SONG NOTES AND LYRICS: 
It's nice to be recording again with a view to completing my 5th Solo album over the next few months. I decided to go with just guitar and vocals for this song, which I think best reflects the lyrics. For those interested in how I record my acoustic guitar, I have used a slightly different technique for this song, using a blend of stereo small diaphragm microphones, together with Direct Input from my Taylor electro-acoustic guitar, played through a mixer into my audio interface. Hope you like it.

LYRICS:
I watch the dawn approaching 
The earth beneath my feet 
Spins in all it’s silence 
To the sound ….. of my heart beat

And over the horizon
These colours fill the skies 
I breathe in this morning air
Thankful for my eyes 

For I am but a fellow traveller
As we circle round the sun
For all this life we ever know 
We travel all as one

I watch the dusk approaching
The earth beneath my feet 
Spins into the moonlight 
To the sound ….of my heart beat

And I gaze up in wonder 
Beyond these starlit skies 
I breathe in this cool night air
Thankful for my eyes 

For I am but a fellow traveller
As we circle round the sun
For all this life we ever know 
We travel all as one

Lyrics:
I wake up this morning
Had a good nights sleep
Get ready for the day
With good energy
The phone rings
It is you
Want something from me..

You keep pushing my power button
You ain't nothing but a thief
Whenever I have some energy left
You suck it out of me
You never stop
Never give up
I'm almost empty, can't you see?

I have to hide my power button
So you won't find it again
Will not answer when you call
Won't call you friend
The only times you make contact
Is when you want something from me..

I will use the rest of me
On what makes me feel good
What gives me energy
And don't suck it out
So don't call me anymore
You get nothing from me..

You keep pushing my power button
You ain't nothing but a thief
Whenever I have some energy left
You suck it out of me
You never stop
 Never give up
I'm almost empty , can't you see?

You keep pushing my power button
You ain't nothing but a thief
Whenever I have some energy left
You suck it out of me
You never stop
 Never give up
I'm almost empty, can't you see?

My Power Button

A song that was recorded October 2023 that was just sitting in the list of unreleased songs.
I listened and thought this would work as a duet. Noobly agreed so I put it out there to an ex 90s chart star, Soundclouders and artist I know of  but with no success as the vocalists were either to busy with there own projects or some didn’t even reply with a nice no. 
I always ask Nat usually but thought for a change it might be good to work with a different vocalist as I feel I have asked a lot of her recently and didn’t wanna take the piss and for her to feel  obliged.
How wrong was I  because I spoke to Nat and she loved the track .
Her vocals on this are incredible. I’m not exaggerating when I say I was blown away by her delivery.
There is another track on our clouds called Divine Intervention with Nat  in the same style which created a little noise outside of Soundcloud among publishers a few years ago but never really got the credit it deserves. Check it out if you like a duet ballad.
We have asked Nat to do another with us so I want to thank her for the time, commitment, enthusiasm and most of all her amazing vocal range. She is a lovely person with a passion for her talent.
She is such a professional and throws herself into the moment of the song making it special. 
So as before she will always be my first choice again. 

This is a simple young love story under the stars in a tiny festival tent.

Stitch Your Name 

V1
She said words can be beautiful but love is action 
So stop talking now and show me that attraction 
So I poured another glass of wine
I said tonight is the night then we combine
My God your so cheesy but being with you just makes easy 

Chorus 
If it’s on let’s think it 
If it’s on let’s want  it 
If it’s on let’s do it 
The tapestry of natures, embroidery
Stitch your name into my heart
The first letter is always athe start 


V2 
I take that as compliment not treat  it with contempt 
Underneath the stars in a field in  this tiny festival tent 
Listening to the echoes of the weekends  event 
Will stay with us forever and be  always meant 
And I don’t think I’ve ever this felt so content 

Chorus to finish

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.
