Ran to the mountain top but still not high or far enough away 
I still could hear them call my name 
Chocking on soda pop it fizzled to my tired and worried brain 
For a moment I forgot their pain 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
My girl is beautiful sharp mind hot body personality 
She brings to life my wildest dreams 
My mind is hijacked thinking real is fake 
now true and fantasy is on a collision course full steam 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, Waving to each other from across the cell 
deja vu  I lose my mind just thinking bout you
But then it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here 
Oh yeah 
Believe in me like I believe in you 
She has a softer side when showcased on the full sized movie screen
But when the lights go down oh no
From far away the hurricane looks like a pillow in the blue 
The silver lining hides the truth 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, waving to each other from across the cell
I used to get real scared just thinking bout it WWIII 
now psychopathic thugs have got nothing on me
But still it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here

come around here

lyrics: Scotty & Gems

Baby, paint your nails green today,
naked on the couch as I play with my lady.
As the sun shines through the curtains delicately. 
And the birdsongs that surround us match my melody. 

Greeeeen naaails.
And soooo free.
Come back one day and make me feel this way.
One day.

Astral ZUZ

Tes doigts sont devenus baguettes et cette boulimie t'inonde, 
À ces attraits de la braguette, c'est tout l'esprit qui y succombe. 
Ces charmes tactiles t'obsèdent, tu as mis l'amoureux en tombe. 
Ces sceaux de désirs, tu y cèdes, le mage noir annihile l'onde. 

Tu consommeras le sexe, l'amour est la fable du faible. 
Utile de le mettre à l'index, de ces souris, préfère l'aigle. 
Tu renieras ton amour-propre, pour un autre, bien diminué,
Féminin recevra l'opprobre, seule la tour sera sanctifiée ! 

On ne vante plus que les desserts, dans l'univers consumériste, 
Le sucre a séduit nos artères, le nous devint antagoniste. 
La pub plantait jadis des graines, dans un terreau théologiste 
Et aujourd'hui, l'amour en peine, renie ces fables terroristes. 

C'est Propagande qui désire, que tu désires plus que tu aimes, 
Qu'importe si l'autre respire, l'empire convoque violence et haine. 
On enfouira toutes tes fautes, pourvu qu'aux temples, tu implores, 
Le doux pardon de tes apôtres, oublie ton vide, ouvre tes pores ! 

- La beauté exige patience, comment peux-tu, sans trop rêver, 
Prétendre incarner une science, sans endurance pour t'y guider ? 
L'hormone liée à l'assurance, édifient nos fables modernes, 
Et ces communes acceptances, dresseront nos passions en bernes. 

Tu commandes à emporter, des nourritures, qui pour ta flore, 
Ne feront, que plus abîmer, tes intestins, qu'elles déshonorent. 
Il existe bien des magies, qui font vibrer les cœurs encore, 
Mais seul, cet index étourdi, ne saurait retirer leurs mors. 

Il est bien sûr préférable, d'aimer plus que de consommer. 
J'invite Passions à ma table, mieux que désir, enfant gâté. 
Si je vibre, c'est avec l'autre, on y découvre l'espace et le temps. 
Prétendument libres spationautes, élongeant la valeur Instant. 

Tes doigts ne seront plus baguettes, pourvu que les passions t'inondent, 
Et vers ces gravités secrètes, c'est tout l'esprit qui naît au monde. 
Ces charmes tactiles te débectent, tu as sorti l'amoureux des tombes, 
Ces sceaux de désirs, tu les jettes, la vraie magie chérie mieux l'onde.
----------------------------------------
En attendant de mettre à mal le fascisme ambiant,
Amicalement,
M'Z

Cool is watching you

Astral Züz - Live 2024 (VIDEO in description)

The fourth song of our summer series "We Can Solve Most Things If We Talk" is a hymn to Hope.  It is the enduring attribute of mankind to be able to think beyond the most painful circumstances and imagine a better life and a better world.  Peter is not just a fine writer of melody and lyrics, but a very able and eloquent guitarist and vocalist.  Oddrun graces this song with her angelic voice as if she were Hope itself, and in duet they give the song wings.  Seagull's synths, bass, and mix are ever sure and seamless, a true labor of love.
Music, Lyrics, Guitars & Vocals; Our dear poet Peter, soundcloud.com/user-264930040/tracks
Vocals; Soundcloud's most wonderful voice; Oddrun, @oddrun-eikli
Compilation and mix by visionary producer; Seagull, @farout-music-studio

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

Hopeful Man--Will You Raise Your Right Hand (Peter, Oddrun, and Seagull)

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 

  Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 

  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.

  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.

  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you feeling about all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A simple woweluja
Simple halleluja

As Josh mentioned in the write up, Jeff and I have a couple of previous tracks together with Rekha that you can find at the links below

Why Always Me ?

Charm Of The Halcyon

A short song loosely based on a real guy I worked with in a CD/Record store. He was one of those guys who knew everything in their musical area of interest, from the most obscure to commercial. C'mon, you've met this guy!
From the album "Röckers" (2024)

Lyrics:
Are you looking for some metal?
You're gonna have to wait around for a while
Are you looking for some metal?
Yeah, you're gonna have to wait around

For record store Eric
Cause that's his section
And he's possessive about it
Record store Eric
He knows all the metal that you need
Whether it's Screamo
On Japanese Imports
Death metal blue?
Just write down what you want
On a Post-It
I swear
He's gonna call you back
He's gonna call you back

Record store Eric
He's a rock & roll cleric

Ahh, well, we don't touch anything in his section
He says
Eric: "Just keep it in the backroom."
Eric:  " I'll shelve it when I get in."

He knows all the metal bands that you want
If you want a band from the 90s
Put out one album
On Sub Atomic Records
From Reseda
His hair line's receding!
Record store Eric
Rock & Roll cleric
If you want Nu-Metal
Eric: " Why the hell would you want that?"

If you are having a bad day
Nothing goes your way
All you see is completely grey
Its in you
Don't blame me

You can make your own day great
Just think how, instead of who
Your own mood
Your own voice
Creates the sound that comes from you..

Babarababara...

You can make your own day great
Just think how instead of who
Your own mood
Your own voice
Creates the sound that comes from you..

If you bump into people you don't want to see
You can take another way
Its your choice
Don't blame me

You can make your own day great
Just think how instead of who
Your own mood
Your own voice
Creates the sound that comes from you..

Babarababara

If you feel invisible
Nobody hears you
Do something about it
Use your voice
Don't blame me

Why Always Me ?
