05. Prelude To An End

My horror inspired soundtrack for a trailer :)

The Descent

In the family of water lilies, Nelumbo nucifera or the lotus flower is also known as the sacred lotus because it symbolizes qualities such as purity, rebirth, enlightenment, longevity, and resiliency. In muddy swamplands the lotus has thrived for more than a thousand years, producing beauty in the midst of muck. 

I hope you enjoy my lotus-inspired tribute of a powerful symbol of overcoming adversity and relentless creativity.

Set at a hypnotic 83 bpm, I’ve included a mix of sounds — a little synthpop, jazz, R&B, Latin, neoclassical, and definitely chill. 

P.S. One of the ancient Sanskrit names for Lotus 🪷 is Kamala. ❤️😀✌️

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
In grauer Stadt verloren
Die Seele schwer wie Stein 
(schwer wie Stein)
Als wär ich neu geboren
In Dunkelheit allein 
(ganz allein)

Doch dann kamst du zu mir 
(kam ich zu dir)
Mit Licht in deinen Händen 
(meinen Händen)
Zeigtest einen Weg von hier 
(einen Weg)
Die Einsamkeit zu beenden

Du bist mein Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht 
(Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht)
Hebst mich auf wenn ich gefallen 
(wenn du gefallen)
Hast den Glauben zurückgebracht 
(Glauben zurückgebracht)
Lässt dein "Ich bin da" erschallen 
(ich bin bei dir)

Die Ketten sind gebrochen
Die mich so lang gebunden 
(lang gebunden)
Was stumm blieb unausgesprochen
Hat endlich Worte gefunden 
(Worte gefunden)

Wo Mauern mich umgaben 
(Mauern um dich)
Seh ich nun neue Wege 
(neue Wege)
All die verschütteten Gaben 
(verschüttet)
Kommen wieder zum Leben

Du bist mein Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht 
(Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht)
Hebst mich auf wenn ich gefallen 
(wenn du gefallen)
Hast den Glauben zurückgebracht 
(Glauben zurückgebracht)
Lässt dein "Ich bin da" erschallen 
(ich bin bei dir)

Die Narben bleiben als Zeichen 
(als Zeichen der Zeit)
Der Weg war weit bis hier 
(so weit bis hier)
Doch sie werden verbleichen 
(verbleichen sanft)
Im Licht das ich spür

Du bist mein Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht        
(Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht)
Hebst mich auf wenn ich gefallen 
(wenn du gefallen)
Hast den Glauben zurückgebracht 
(Glauben zurückgebracht)
Lässt dein "Ich bin da" erschallen 
(ich bin bei dir)

Und ich breite meine Flügel aus 
(Flügel aus)
Fliege dir entgegen 
(mir entgegen)
In ein neues Zuhause hinaus 
(neues Zuhause)
Unter deinem Segen

English translation:
Lost in the gray city
Soul as heavy as stone 
(as heavy as stone)
As if I was born again
In the dark alone 
(all alone)

But then you came to me 
(I came to you)
With light in your hands 
(my hands)
Showing a way out of here 
(a way)
To end the loneliness

You're my beacon in the night 
(beacon in the night)
Picking me up when I've fallen 
(when you've fallen)
Bringing back the faith 
(bringing back faith)
Sounding your “I'm here” 
(I'm with you)

The chains are broken
That bound me for so long 
(tied me up for so long)
What remained unspoken
Has finally found words 
(found words)

Where walls surrounded me 
(walls around you)
I now see new paths 
(new paths)
All the buried gifts 
(buried)
Come to life again

You are my beacon in the night 
(beacon in the night)
You pick me up when I fall 
(when you fall)
You have brought back faith 
(brought back faith)
You let your “I am there” resound 
(I am with you)

The scars remain as a sign 
(as a sign of the times)
It's been a long way to here 
(so far to here)
But they will fade 
(fade gently)
In the light that I feel

You are my beacon in the night 
(beacon in the night)
You pick me up when I've fallen 
(when you've fallen)
You've brought back the faith 
(faith returned)
Shouting your “I'm here” 
(I'm here)

And I spread my wings 
(wings out)
Flying towards you 
(Towards me)
Into a new home 
(New home)
Underneath your blessing

Cast of Characters:  

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– acoustic guitar, electric guitar solo, mix, production, and mastering

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 piano solo 

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Warwick 4-string fretless bass, piano, mandolin, and vocals

This is an old Jerry Jeff Walker song from a live album that Josh's dad played countless times while driving around in his his old pickup truck while he was growing up. Josh decided this year's musical gift to his father would be a recording of this song, which his dad has always loved. When he asked his bandmates in the Eclectic Collective to help him with it, they all generously and enthusiastically agreed to do so.

  Josh began the song by laying down the piano you hear throughout. He then added the bass before asking Ken to lay down the drums. Ken learned the song very quickly, and added perfect drums to it. Stephen then added his solid foundational guitar. Then, Josh went back in and added the mandolin before singing the whole thing. Before it was done, however, Josh tapped JJ to add the piano solo after the first chorus, which he did with grand style and flourish.

  Once it was in the can, Stephen was kind enough to mix and master it in his always professional manner. 

  Josh is very grateful to his bandmates for helping him give the gift of music to his dad once again this year. His dad has alwasy supported him with his music, from the time he was a little kid, and is very proud of his musical skills to this day. We hope you enjoy listening to this

Lyrics: Dub double and twice (collab Llanpsych)  

Don’t know what she’s thinking
Don't know what she’s hiding
She don’t talk a lot
She looks really hot

She is so mysterious 
That’s what you like, i guess 
Don’t wanna fall in love,
To late you are a mess

She is very clever
She don’t tell her secrets 
Her recipe for succes
She wants more, don’t settle for any less

Anything she wants 
She wants it  double and twice

Failed Distractions

Picnic in the Park  - Watch my video short! https://youtu.be/Z90D8qLSHjY?si=9lbkSdG-aeu_zr4H

A glorious day 
For a Picnic in the Park
Birds are chirping, 
Swans are swimming
Children laughing, 
The sun is grinning.
On a blanket of grass, 
We lay 
Side by side, 
Savoring each taste
Of food, drink, 
A kiss, 
On this lovely day.
