Another stroll in the park is another track off album number 2 in the trilogy  "There to here".
Words and music: Phil Bowen
Guitars, keyboards and vocals: Phil Bowen 
Mixed and produced: Phil Bowen
Lyrics: 
Verse 1
Another stroll in the park today
I need a little time to get away
Working so hard from morning to night
Those days that passed, they fade away

Verse 2
I thank Roger Williams for the acres of space
I feel that I am one of the human race
I have a place to call my own 
I have a place I call home
And than my brother for his warm embrace

Middle 8
One moment I have nothing but hope
Thinking each day, I have to jump a rope
No more listening to those who moralise
I see my world with new eyes

Verse 3
Another stroll in the park today
I look up to the sky and watch clouds float by
Birds, they sing as they spread their wings
A mother calls when her children cry.

There to Here  Pt. 2

Another Stroll in the Park

Another Stroll In The Park

This song I wrote back in 2022 and I wrote it while depressed about Covid but it seems to fit right in with the present! It's basically about the anxiety one feels when life suffocates you in any way. It seems everything has gone haywire lately! Grocery prices, the rent is too damn high, our government has gone berserk, A.I. taking over our music and our minds, on and on and on and on! The song was longer but I edited down for the video which just droped on YouTube! It's a very depressing song but I think I played some cool guitar on it and sang it ok! The tail end of the song is another song I wrote around the same time called "Sick Inside", I added it to the track to play over the credits in the video, and by the way, I am feeling quite sick inside! Stay cool everybody! Maybe it will pass?🙏😎✌🏼

“SUFFOCATE”

I SUFFOCATE,
I’M OVERCOME,
I LOSE ALL SENSE OF BEING,  
AND BECOME UNDONE,                

I GET DEPRESSED,
BECOME UNHINGED, 
MY DREAMS ARE ALL OF SEARCHING, 
THE OUTER FRINGE,
I SUFFOCATE, 

I COMPENSATE,
I DECOMPRESS, 
I SINK TO THE BOTTOM,
OF MY CONSCIOUSNESS, 
  
I EMPATHIZE,
I TRY TO TUNE,       
BUT SOMETIMES I LOSE FOCUS,
AS IF I'M ON THE MOON,    
I SUFFOCATE, 
I SUFFOCATE.

Little melody I did for my father for father's day. Also for all the fathers of the universe. Happy father's day!

In the Name of the Father

You and Me

We are all sitting in an elevator that is racing close to the edge into the depths of the abyss. If we carry on like this, the next generations will experience a different world. A worse and darker world. Our egoism and our addiction to consumption prevent us from changing anything. The end is getting closer and closer ...
 
I would be very happy if you would also watch the video and give it a thumbs up.

Thanks a lot for your support!

Spoken Words:

Instead of celebrating the miracle of life, we're mostly busy making things difficult for each other.

The world can become a better place if we all are kind to one another and take good care of nature and our resources.

We become better people when we help others, are fair and honest, and learn from our mistakes.

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

[Verse]
I see heaven in your eyes
Every time I see you
You're an angel in disguise
Babe, you make me want to cry

[Chorus]
Babe, you make me want
To be a better woman
You're my angel, babe
And I am mad about you

[Verse]
When you’re near, I feel the fire
A warmth I've never known
Every glance fuels my desire
Feels like coming home

[Chorus]
Babe, you make me want
To stand a little taller
Give you all I am
And love you even harder

[Bridge]
With you, there's peace inside my heart
A feeling that’s brand new
You've made me see who I could be
When I'm standing next to you

[Chorus]
Babe, you make me want
To be a better woman
You're my angel, babe
And I’m forever mad

[Outro]
Heaven’s in your eyes
It’s there I see my dreams
You’re my angel, babe
The one who saved me

[Bridge]
With you, there's peace inside my heart
A feeling that’s brand new
You've made me see who I could be
When I'm standing next to you

[Chorus]
Babe, you make me want
To be a better man
You're my angel, babe
And I’m forever mad

[Outro]
Heaven’s in your eyes
It’s there I see my dreams
You’re my angel, babe
The one who saved me

Babe, you make me want
To be a better woman
You're my angel, babe
And I’m forever mad

[Outro]
Heaven’s in your eyes
It’s there I see my dreams
You’re my angel, babe
The one who saved me

A Better Woman

he was the jewel 
in her princess crown
she was the fool
destined to fall down

he played her
he made her
want him

she gave her
self splayed her
self on him

mesmerised
she fantasised 
in her eyes
the ruby hypnotised
 
she lusted
for the precious 
she trusted
his sensuous 
and irresistible charm

broken
crushed
and broken
she lies in pieces 
crushed
and broken

ruby

broken
crushed
and broken
she lies in pieces

crushed and broken

This one was a pleasant surprise.  Ken came at me last week with this track written, performed, arranged and sung by Joseph Shenton, who I didn't know at the time.  I heard it and definitely wanted to be involved, so they were cool on me adding a little rhythm guitar and then doing the mix and production for it.  Ken added the drums and bass. If you don't know Joseph yet, he's got some killer tunes and worth following to check em out! 

Cast of characters:

Joseph Shenton: composition, lyrics, vocals, acoustic guitar, lead guitar, harmonica, piano

Tex Mex Shaman( Stephen Watkins): Rhythm and texture guitars, production mix and master

K2 and the Three( Kenneth Karasek): Drums, bass guitar,  and shakers 

This song began with Ken and Joseph liking each other’s music. Ken invited Joseph to collaborate. He provided such a wonderful song, that maybe sounds better without drums, but we totally dig this version, as well! Ken asked Stephen to add something special, and for a fantastic third party mix down and master! This is the first collaboration with a couple of the Eclectic Collective collaborators.. we hope you all enjoy it!!

One Twist a’Whisper
Lyrics by Joseph Shenton
Music by Joseph Shenton

Bang the drum
Call the ghosts out
It’s ten to one
N’ we’re under looming doubt 

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

The cradle is tilted
Fires breath is getting hot 
Pine needles are falling
Your poised to spill all you got

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

Skin on skin
Check to cheek
You pull apart quiet
To become the object seekers seek

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

Jump the line
Cheat the deck
The 'bound to be foolish' 
Won’t hesitate for even a sec

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

"THOUGHTS"
Free in my mind and soul, earned through all my living,
Every sacred message, has a different meaning,
Have i ever thought, what it is just giving,
Every little soul, has a great beginning.
Take it all down fellow, to the point you deal,
Cards that never stop, our brains from what to feel,
Is it thought just travels, or our feelings throttle,
Maybe all together, make us live as a whole.
Fantasy created, fantasy itself,
Thought just gives a feeling, killing death on breath,
Combination ended, realistic zones,
We live through one message, passing through our bones.
Does this means we are bonded, taking down a trip,
Living as created, things don't ever flip,
Everything was always, as has always been,
Get the point geezer, get the light of sin.
My mind travels, my thought disappears,
I live in agony, my heart is full of tears,
My soul evaporates, as it lives in nowhere,
My brain dissolves, i can't believe i am lower.
Open now your eyes, the deal wants your heart,
Maybe what we are made of, is with our brains attached,
Let your soul come out, let your soul see,
Maybe soul and body, spirit and you' re free.
Live with spirit fellow, the light has been reborn,
Let your first thought travel, to your eternal soul,
Maybe what we are, is given all around,
Spin it in your heart, live a second round.
Lyrics by RAGIAS CHRISTOS
Enjoy the trip!!

Time Heals Everything Ft ChePaxin

Cast of characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, Roland Phantom 6 synth, vocals, lyrics, arrangement, composition

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ--  Yamaha Genos 2 and Yamaha MoXF8 
synth, organ, electric piano, and vocal harmonies

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet    
 
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaser through a VST synth FX device

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, Fender Acoustasonic acoustic guitar, Gibson Earl Scruggs Mastertone banjo, mix, production, and mastering

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

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 

  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.

  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.

  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 

  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

Down for Anything - (Eclectic Collective)

ENG / ITA Lyrics

Go that way
and then further that way
maybe you'll see each other again
if the time comes
for the usual formalities

leave him in these dark avenues
don't let him have an extra drop
dirty water stagnates
in pure brains

Just go over there
in that direction
get as far away as you can
from his words
and while you run and distract yourself a little
you meet the right man down the street
in a moment his heart catches fire
and you start to feel nostalgic


vai pure di là
e dopo oltre di là
vi rivedrete forse
se verrà il momento
per le solite formalità

lascialo pure in questi viali scuri
non concedergli una goccia in più
ristagna l'acqua sporca
nei cervelli puri

vai pure di là
in quella direzione
allontanati più che puoi
dalle sue parole
e mentre corri e ti distrai un poco
incontri l'uomo giusto proprio nella via
in un momento il suo cuore prende fuoco
e tu cominci ad avere nostalgia

Separazione (The Detachment) *

A re mix of an old recording... I felt it had a 70's sound and doubt it's ever gonna go much more than this so... enjoy a bit of 70's

A bit closer to the edge

If we could just have more Sympathy, I'd like to think the world would be a better place.

Entry Into Past

"Eye of Thought"

Dropping from the eye of thought,
a conciouss reality that was never born,
holding all this life in my hands,
i thought it was better to show them to dance,

Taking down this trip in the slope,
what you had known was always been told,
looking for someone to rest,
the thoughts in your head that were never blessed,

dropping from the eye of thought.....
