Great song! Excellent songwriting, vocals, guitars, and percussion!

Hey Steve. This is a very beautiful song. Great work, man. Love your emotional and moving vocals! Great work. Thanks 🍀

This song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm acoustic guitar, as well as his always solid, dynamic drums to it. In short order, Ken got the rest of the Eclectic Collective together on it, starting with Josh, who added his five string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Next up was JJ, who's keys, both organ and piano, can be heard livening the whole thing up. Then came Tez with his fiery ripping guitar fills.

We were all blown away, though, when Stephen added his equally ripping guitar fills as responses to Tez's parts. It really sounds like the two maestros are having a conversation. Not to be outdone, Chris sprinkled some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning.

Of course, we needed a competent producer to pull the whole thing together for us, especially with all the different voices in the stew. That person was Stephen, who was able to wrangle all of us and make it sound coherent, like the expert producer he is.

We all really enjoy working on Steve's songs, although it's been a few months since we did one together. It's been proven many times before that if,you start out with something good, and you end up with some thing great. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:

I hope we ever meet x2
I hope to see you again
I hope to see you smile

I hope to be your friend x2
Hand in hand, hand in hand
Once again x3

I hope you shake my hand
On the boulevard
Gazing at the stars, gazing at the stars
I hope you ever be, a part of family

A comfort zone for me x2

To be around in everything I found
Please, please love me, forever being around
Hope you ever be, a part of me
Hope to touch your eyes, I hope to touch your love
One day you’ll see that you belong with me



Hope we ever meet (The Eclectic Collective with Steve's Planet)

A diary of a journey 
a journey through a diary
Some smooth mood, they say
