🌕🍇 Jelly on the Moon (The Vocal Voyage) 🍇🌕

Hey everyone, I just want to apologise for how long it’s taken me to release the vocal version of Jelly on the moon. I originally made the instrumental three months ago, and it’s been a real challenge to add vocals while keeping the bouncy, fun energy that made the original so special. On top of that, I’ve had to move back to the UK for a while, which has taken up a lot of my time and energy. I’m really sorry for being absent for so long, and I truly appreciate your patience and support. I hope you enjoy this version as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Still squishy. Still bouncing. I engineered my vocals to match the playful, bouncy energy of the original instrumental, bringing a lively, cartoon-like character to the performance. I twist and dance with the rhythm, turning the groove into a moonlit party full of joy, laughter, and footloose jelly friends.

💫 For everyone who’s ever danced like no one was watching.. on another planet.

💨 The kettle hissed with pride and squealed “She sang with the jelly, do you understand the bravery?”
🌀 The blender twirled dramatically and declared “If this track were a dessert, it would sing its own topping”
🧊 The ice dispenser cracked with emotion and sighed “She sounds like stardust doing karaoke”

🩰 Built for midnight wiggles, lunar twirls, and jelly choreography with no rules.

🛠️ Mixed in FL Studio with bubbly synths, helium harmonies, and exactly 0% shame.

Not for the charts. Just for the joy. 🍇🌕

****Lyrics****

Moon jelly jiggle
Zero-G wiggle
Got no map, just snacks and giggles

Slipped on a crater with a custard shoe
Spinnin in circles like fizzy shampoo
Stars in my pockets, jam in my hair
Bouncin like a bubble in banana eclaire

Toast me light like a marshmallow swoon
I got jelly, jelly on the moon

Jelly on the moon, I’m stickin to the beat
Bouncin through the stardust with marmalade feet
Moon boots wobble, Saturn says “whoa”
Spoon fed rhythm in a galaxy glow
We got jelly
Jelly on the moon

Gravity’s gone, so I float with flair
Dippin my dance in vanilla air
Cheesecake comets doin the twist
Got a grape jam planet on my bucket list

Wobble like a pudding in a cosmic cartoon
Yeah I got jelly, jelly on the moon

Jelly on the moon, I’m stickin to the beat
Bouncin through the stardust with marmalade feet
Moon boots wobble, Saturn says “whoa”
Spoon fed rhythm in a galaxy glow
We got jelly
Jelly on the moon

Gelatin skies, neon whipped cream
Floating through a peppermint dream
Zero percent logic, one hundred percent tune
Come get sticky in the jelly moon room

Wiggle that wobble
Lick the Milky Way
Bounce to the bassline
In a marshmallow sleigh
Yeah we’re floatin
Jelly slippin, space trippin
Zero gravity zippin
Hands in the syrup, hips in the stars
This ride’s got snacks and no seatbelts or bars

Jelly, where? On the moon
Bouncin, how? Like a toon
Sticky, yes, Cosmic spoon
Jelly on the moon, let’s go soon
Jelly on the moon, no time to land
We got s’mores in orbit and beats on demand

I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly
I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly
I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly
I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly
I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly

Everybody loves jelly!

🌕🍇 Jelly on the Moon (The Vocal Voyage) 🍇🌕

My sister Cindy wanted me to write music for her. It is becoming increasingly hard to play and that makes me sad.  I have lay so far back in my powerchair that I can't see the controls. I can't tolerate sitting up, it's too hard to breathe. Some days I can't even get out of bed.

My son attached a projector to my computer so my screen is now 6'x4', and I have a small keyboard I hold in my hand. So I try to keep up, but it takes much longer to do anything. ALS is not easy to deal with. It's important to stay positive and make good use of the time I have left.

Cast of Characters:
Single Use & Recycled -- @user-995867230 -- Bill — acousitc rhythm and lead guitar and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — acoustic rhythm guitar, production, mix, and mastering
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song started as an idea Bill came up with on his acoustic guitar. Having found each other on the Cloud and enjoying each other's music, Josh and Bill decided to do a collab. Bill is a real deal guitarist, who's as prolific as he is skilled. Of course, Josh invited Eclectic Collective to the party, too.
  Shortly after doing so, he laid down a bass part to Bill's skeleton withi his four string fretless bass. Ken followed suit, and after a back and forth, completed the rhythms secion. JJ dug in next, adding the thrilling strings that highlight the high points of the melody. 
  There wasn't a whole lot of room for everyone on this, though, as Bill had the guitar parts nailed down tight. However, after sitting on the shelf for about half a year, Carl came along and added the missing piece with his raucuos vocals. Stephen also fattened up the sound a bit with his acoustic rhythm guitar.  
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to work his production, mix, and mastering magic on it, too, which he came through with, as always.
  This brilliant song almost didn't see the light of day. It sat for what felt like forever, until we decided to revive it. This will not be the last collab we do with Bill, though, who was generous in not only sharing his music with us, but allowing us to do whatever we wanted with it, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Shifty shire
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
Gerry's meandering
Not thinking of sane
What colourful friends can stop red rain?

With freedom waning
Conversation is paused
A few rich men failing
With solidarity cause
Shift the shire!
At minority we've baulked
That mind inconvenient
New red lines are chalked

State turf wars are on
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
For the rights of the white man
We missing those slaves
So legislate oppression
That skin 'aint red way

Sentenced without Trial (A poem by Bill Stapleton)

The executioner has come to cut thee down.
I know not for what crime.
The human race needs living space
And you have little time.

No counsel for your defence
No witness to your beauty
No guardian of your civil rights
It matters not - you're guilty!

Where are the lovers you shaded
When summer hearts were wed
Speak now for your leafy friend
Before his life is shed

Did no one see you in Springtime
When your buds were awake in bloom
Did no one pass last Autumn
On your golden carpet, strewn

Why don't you run away?
The humans are coming fast
Don't just stand there and be acquired
Your security is past

Dumb innocence give me your seed
And let me away to sow
In some undeveloped land
Where the crocuses can grow.
......
Where are the lovers you shaded
When summer hearts were wed
Speak now for your leafy friend
Before his life is shed

23 February 1975
Bill says, " A considerable time had lapsed since I had written any poetry probably due to the shock of my heart attack. In fact I was not sure whether I could still do so. It was a great comfort to me therefore to achieve this poem after an elapse of nearly five years.
The theme of civil rights comes from the northern troubles. I got the idea while out for a walk around Silverpine, the lovely little roads now sadly changed by housing development. Many lovely old trees cut down while others await their fate with 'Security' and 'Acquired' boards ignominiously nailed to them.
The last verse is a lesson on how we can co-operate to save the situation by planting a new tree"

Bill lived for nine more years after writing those words. It's interesting how the health shock effected his creativity and so nice he re-found it. Maybe a nice reminder to use our time well 🔆


I really love the third stanza. "Where are the lovers you shaded?..." Bill is looking at these condemned trees and wondering about the beautiful unconditional love it showed to people who are now no where to be seen when the trees need them. For me this wraps up what I've learned and had confirmed from Papa's poetry. Humans use the planet but get lost in our own pleasure and forget about what actually keeps us alive and what makes this such a wonderful planet to be on and that we do get to share. We share it with all the trees and eachother. We are however the only ones with either the intelligence to save it from ourselves or stay blinded and condemn it like these trees were condemned to their doom. Thanks Papa


This in my opinion is why laws against single use plastics and similar environmental saviours are so important. When idiosy decides to reverse them on a whim and because of only economics the indifference grows collectively and we lose our focus on the tree and the system as a whole. We then also forget that in focusing on the welfare of the tree, we focus on our own welfare. It's easy to forget this when we don't experience a direct relatable suffering however compassion towards the system still has our answers to a smoother future along side our dear tree friends 🫛
