I recommend that anyone learning to play the guitar listen to this piece over and over again, playing the Gm/B♭pentatonic scale in various ways, and trying to find a phrase that you like.

The volume adjustment during mixdown is optimized for the environment when using the earphones that come with the iPhone. If you feel that the volume of the guitar playing in this work is low, please use earphones and check the volume balance of this recording. It seems that earphones other than those that came with the iPhone do not have any problems. When using an Android device and when connecting an audio interface to a PC, I connected inexpensive earphones and confirmed that the guitar volume can be heard at a roughly appropriate balance.

There is another way. I have embedded a SoundCloud player on my blog to introduce my works, but I noticed that this work sounds harder (mid-high tones are clearer) than when played directly in the browser. If the guitar volume seems low or the sound quality sounds cloudy, please open the following and play this recording with the SoundCloud player embedded there.

Black Dark Humor is a sad poem about the routine of life in a big city like São Paulo. A difficult day in the life of an ordinary Paulistano, facing work and dealing with the chaos of the city. A day when the earth stood still.

Black Dark Humor
Close the door, turn off the light;
The dream has just begun...
Another blinding day of heat,
And burning flames...
Last month hasn’t ended yet;
Time is just a shadow...
Through these hazy days, I agonize,
Then beg for mercy...

Have some pity on me;
I’m both devout and crude.
Sentenced to twenty years
In the penitentiary of boredom...
Now and then I try, at last,
To sigh without a thought...
To drown my feelings deep inside,
Then take off and fly.

It’s six o’clock, the morning’s here,
Yet the rooster never crows...
But my stern, responsible self
Shakes me up to rise again.
The bell tolls, I hide the sky,
A sky that bears no light...
The world still turns, yet somehow,
It stopped spinning for me...

Reimagining Below the Sky (Wilfried Hanrath & Hega)

Cast of characters:
Jonathan Beckenstein — @jonathan_beckenstein — acoustic guitar, composition
Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – bass, vocals, and lyrics
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion, and vocal harmonies
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Roland FP-10 piano and Collings mandolin
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T slide guitar, production, mix, and mastering
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – harmonica, edited fiddle samples, and jaw harp
This song began when Jonathan wrote it on his acoustic guitar several months ago with the intention of developing it into a larger song. When Josh approached him about doing a collaboration, Jonathan thought this one would fit the bill. I should say at this point how much we all admire Jonathan and enjoy his music. On the unlikely chance you aren't already familiar with his music, I suggest you go hop on his page and check it out. 
  All that to explain the level of excitement that ran through Eclectic Collective when Josh shared the project with the group. Chris was first to jump on it, coming up with his intricate bass line even before Ken added his moving drums, although they went back and forth a couple of times to create the rhythm section. Josh jumped on right after that part was complete, adding his mandolin and piano to the mix. Steven was next up, adding his howling slide throughout. Last, but certainly not least, Mark came up with the driving harmonica and twangy jaw harp, and the raspy fiddle, adding them all to complete the instruments. 
  At this point, we had a pretty good instrumental song on our hands. However, Chris decided to give it the extra kick by adding the vocals, the lyrics for which he wrote himself. Our multitalented drummer, Ken, added the vocal harmonies shortly after, too.
  Now that it was in the bag, we needed some production for it. So, we turned to Stephen, who mixed and mastered it in his alwasy expert fashion. 
  This song is a real treat for everyone in the band, as I mentioned earlie. We are all very grateful to Jonathan for sharing this song with us, and had a wonderful time helping bring it to life. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by cgmaness:
 Come on now let's break a leg,
We've got it made in the shade.
One more day, go out and play.
I guarantee we've got it made.
Oh, we've got it made.
Happy to be with my friends today.
Fill up your drink whatever it may take.
I guarantee we've got it made.
~Gibberish~
Don't need a reason,
Or wait for the seasons to change.
That's what I claim.
Go out on this limb with me,
And realize, we've got it made.
We got it made in the shade.
Can't you see we got it made?
Oh, we've got it made.
Happy to be with my friends today.
Fill up your drink whatever it may take.
Can you believe that we've got it made?
Come on now let's shake a leg.
We've got it made in the shade.
Don't need a reason,
Or wait for the seasons to change.
That's what I claim.
Go out on this limb with me,
And realize, we've got it made.

Deutsch: Storytime zu "Before the Silence Falls":
Ein Song über den schmerzhaften Moment kurz vor dem endgültigen Verstummen. Zwei Menschen stehen sich gegenüber, wissen, dass es endet – und doch sagt keiner das, was gesagt werden müsste. Es geht um die Stille, die lauter ist als jeder Streit, und um das letzte Aufbäumen vor dem Bruch. Emotional, eindringlich, voller Spannung zwischen Hoffnung und Resignation. "Before the Silence Falls" fängt diese Sekunden zwischen Nähe und endgültiger Trennung ein – ein stiller Schrei im Schatten einer Liebe, die zu Ende geht.

English: Storytime for "Before the Silence Falls":
A song about that painful moment just before everything goes quiet. Two people face each other, knowing it’s over – yet no one speaks the words that must be said. It’s about silence louder than any fight, and the last flicker of hope before collapse. Emotional, intense, filled with tension between holding on and letting go. "Before the Silence Falls" captures those seconds between closeness and final separation – a silent scream in the fading light of love.

Before the Silence Falls

Lyrics:
Waiting for a breakthrough since forever
But it didn't come
Ghosted after sending hundred letters
Asking for collab
Some days I'm just feeling like a deader
Target on my back
Shunned by people thinking that they're better
Than they really are

Think it is safe to say

I am a ghost of my former self
Just take a look, it ain't hard to tell
For all these years it's been downhill
Chasing the wrong thrill
Hoping that somebody would help

Yeah, I'm am a ghost of my former self
Don't mind my luck, go and wish me well
For all these years I've been drowning
Failing and scowling
Hoping that nobody could tell

Looking for a way out since forever
Trapped inside this maze
Watch the game show cash in on contenders
And forget their face
Some days I'll be proud of songs I post
Then burn them in a blaze
Fueled by pundits blaring out what they'd do
If they took my place

Seems pretty safe to say

I am a ghost of my former self
Just take a look, it ain't hard to tell
For all these years it's been downhill
Chasing the wrong thrill
Hoping that somebody would help

Yeah, I'm a ghost of my former self
Don't mind my luck, go and wish me well
For all these years I've been drowning
Failing and scowling
Hoping that nobody could tell

Oh, what am I supposed to say
When I can't help but feel this way?
To chin up when I'm not okay
When it's over, when it's over

ghost of my former self

Alternative indie rock from the land of snow
