I have found another asset from Special Cecilia which I found very inspiring and very beautiful. 
Cecilia´s original can be found here:

I hope you will enjoy our collaborating again!

Below are Cecilia´s Lyrics:
Ici et là de par le monde il semble que l'on soient plusieurs
Appellés à répendre de la lumière, à l'encontre des ténèbres
Chacun à sa manière, chacun de son côté, mais nos destins sont comme liés

Beaucoup d'entre nous ont souffert et ont surmonté leurs peines,
beaucoup connaissent les galères et ont résolu leurs problèmes
beaucoup ont encore dur, mais on garde le coeur pur
les intentions honnêtes

Je suis le capItaine de mon propre navire,
je garde le contrôle, je veux pas qu'il chavire,
tant de monde à explorer, de choses à partager
surfant sur les vagues de la destinée

LYRICS:

I can't hear a single word you say
I can't hear a single word you say
Under water and I'm washed away
Under water and I'm washed away
I can't hear a single word you say
I can't hear a single word you say
Under water and I'm washed away
Under water and I'm washed away
Water flowing in the heat of May
Water flowing in the heat of May
I think we've had our fun for the day
I think we've had our fun for the day

We flow down the waterfall
We flow down the waterfall
There's no turning back now

I don't hear a single word you say
I don't hear a single word you say
Under water and I'm washed away
Under water and I'm washed away
Water flowing in the heat of May
Water flowing in the heat of May
I think we've had our fun for the day
I think we've had our fun for the day
I'm drifting right beside you
I'm drifting right beside you
As we fall over the ledge
As we fall over the ledge
I'm drifting right beside you
I'm drifting right beside you
As we fall over the ledge
As we fall over the ledge

Everything beautiful
If you can see clearly
Everything beautiful
If you can see clearly

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
Though the water pulls us apart
Though the water pulls us apart
Though we're sinking to the bedrock
Though we're sinking to the bedrock
I'm still here beside you
I'm still here beside you

We flow down the waterfall
And I can see clearly
Everything beautiful
When you're here beside me
We flow down the waterfall
And I can see clearly
Everything beautiful
When you're here beside me

Waterfall - Shark Teeth & Moon Dust

Inspired by the message and Cecilia's soulful acappella vocal, I had to do my best to follow the muse. This is the result. 
I play percussion & guitars, and add a few spoken words.
You can find Cecilia's original @specialececilia & @spacialcecilia along with a multitude of fine collaborations from a host of amazing SC musicians.

Lyrics:

Fresh Pure Air
We want Breath, Fresh Pure Air
the Earth needs, Fresh Pure Air
Fresh Pure Air

Like it was Back in the Days
When it wasn't so much polluted
Fresh Pure Air, Pure Air, Air

Now the Ice Caps are melting
Sea Level rising
Storms increasing, intensifying
Still, they're denying

We know we all got to change bad habits
To avoid World to be destroyed
Man should Drive less
Waste less
Eat less Meat
Keep his Environment clean, clean

(instrumental)

Fresh Pure Air
We want Breath, Fresh Pure Air
The Earth needs, Fresh Pure Air
Fresh Pure Air, Fresh Pure Air, Air, Air

(Too much Deforestation
Fossil Fuel transportation
Coal powered Electric generation
Methane high Carbonization
All bringing Oceanic Acidification
Cause of the last Mass Extinction)

There is Life to Preserve
For our Future, for our Children
For our Future, for our Children
(Think about the Children)
Man should stop making Wars, of course,
Building weapon of Destruction
Such a Deadly Business, making more Pollution
(Think about the Children)

We want Breath, Fresh Pure Air
The Earth needs, Fresh Pure Air
Fresh Pure Air, Pure Air

(instrumental)

This Life to Preserve
For our Future, for our Children
Fresh Pure Air
(For future Generations)

We want Breath, Fresh Pure Air
The Earth needs, Fresh Pure Air
Fresh Pure Air
We want Breath, the Earth needs
Fresh Pure Air

Fresh Pure Air  by Special Cecilia (ft. Steve Whitfield)

At the age of 12, I fell madly in love with the spindly Brigitte, who lived with her parents in the house next door. Unfortunately, she did not return my love, but had eyes exclusively for David Cassidy, the then mega-girl crush and star of the series "Partridge Family". In my still very childish imagination and jealousy, I made elaborate plans to secretly cross over to America in a plane. There unnoticed murder David Cassidy during one of the series rehearsals and after my return to Germany, the then inconsolable Brigitte close in my arms and she can have then all alone for me.  
When these sometimes obsessive thoughts tormented me too much, I put on "It`s only Love"; the second song from the B-side of "Help", my very first record album by the Beatles.
And as soon as John Lennon intoned the refrain "It`s only love and that is all, why should I feel the way I do..." in his wonderfully haunting voice, I immediately calmed down and found a deep comfort within myself. 
A good 40 years later, this old story caught up with me again when my son told me that he was pining over a young woman living in his neighborhood, but that she was completely ignoring him.  
This "eternal return of the same" made my cover version of "It`s only Love" rise up in me. - The result to be heard here has been, as always with my covers, vigorously turned through the Karlit-O-Kay mill....   

Mit 12 Jahren verliebte ich mich unsterblich in die spindeldürre  Brigitte, die mit Ihren Eltern im Nachbarshaus wohnte. Leider erwiderte sie meine Liebe nicht, sondern hatte ausschließlich Augen für David Cassidy, dem damaligen Mega-Mädchenschwarm und Star der Serie "Partridge Family". In meiner noch sehr kindlichen Phantasie und Eifersucht schmiedete ich ausgeklügelte Pläne, wie ich heimlich in einem Flugzeug nach Amerika hinübersetze. Dort unbemerkt David Cassidy bei einem der Serienproben ermorde und nach meiner Rückkehr nach Deutschland, die dann untröstliche Brigitte in meine Arme schließe und sie dann ganz alleine für mich haben kann.  
Wenn mich diese mitunter obsessiven Gedanken zu sehr quälten, legte ich "It`s only Love" auf; das zweite Lied von der B-Seite von "Help", meinem allerersten Platten-Album von den Beatles.
Und sobald John Lennon mit seiner wunderbar eindringlichen Stimme den Refrain "It`s only love and that is all, why should I feel the way I do..." anstimmte, beruhigte mich dies sofort und ich fand  einen tiefen Trost in mir. 
Gut 40 Jahre später holte mich diese alte Geschichte wieder ein, als mir mein Sohn erzählte, dass er eine in seiner Nachbarschaft lebende junge Frau anschmachtet, sie ihn aber komplett ignorieren würde.  
Diese "ewige Wiederkehr des Gleichen" ließ in mir meine Cover-Version von "It`s only Love" aufsteigen. - Das hier zu hörende Ergebnis ist wie immer bei meinen Covers kräftig durch die Karlit-O-Kay-Mühle gedreht worden....

Steve turned Cecilia's song 'Fresh Pure Air' into a cool reggae track. I added the sound of the 'One Man Cosmic Band' ;-). 
And again a thoughtful message from Cecilia for all of us that we should think about.

Hendrik @cosmic-ratzzz sent me this progression to see what I could do with it.. I added rhythm guitar & vocals to his bass, drums & a killer slide guitar solo. "Sister Sadie" is the title of the instrumental version with Florian Luthi & Joerxworx and was the inspiration for my lyrics. Hope you enjoy our "Sister Sadie Blues".

Hendrik @cosmic-ratzzz asked for my rhythm trax from Cecilia's "Fresh Pure Air" @specialvocals  a tune he had collaborated on with me. I though he would do an instrumental version, and he did add some great instrumentation, but he had an ace up his sleeve in the form of Mz Emily Coy @freevocals 
We hope you enjoy this mash-up remix "The Madness"

I am always honoured to collaborate with any of Soundcloud’s awesome musicians but, when I am given the opportunity to produce a song, the elation is beyond my ability to express in words.  This song was fun and I am grateful to Steve for allowing me the privilege of contributing to this great piece.

HELLO MY FRIENDS!  
I recommend navigating this large, chaotic cloud by tracks or playlists.
I am a Drummer/Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Producer. I've played in various types of bands over the years, Rock, Folk, Irish, Reggae, Jazz, Funk, Country, and Avant Garde. I'm best known for playing drums through multiple re-incarnations of Shiva's Headband, the eclectic, legendary psychedelic era band from Austin. One of my songs appears on "In the Primo of Life", and I co-wrote "Roots Rock Station" with Spencer Perskin, which first appeared on "Remember The Armadillo" and was re-released on "The Temple of Rock N Roll". I also co-produced the CD, "So You Don't Go Barefoot", by Sue Perskin of Shiva's. This cloud focuses on my songwriting. Credit is given to any and all musicians involved. Otherwise everything you hear I've done myself.
