Some beautiful, very catchy music...and very thoughtful lyrics. Nice one.

Plucking brilliance! :D How refreshing, Michael!  Lyrical wit! "We're all back to the same old view... There is really nothing new... Still have to face those fire drills... Delayed reactions" " But we are forced to pay for their mistakes Remedial measures burst... Making the scene even worse... Wealth here shrinks faster than your eyes could blink"....  Got a water hose on standby?--We the people are the pressure wash service incorporated ...LOL!   Dreamy vocals that make a protesting stance of things seem so  politely congenial.  When are you running for a spot in the UN? ;)  Love the melody...Beautifully written!  🤍🤍🤍🤍🔁🙌🏻♾💯💯💯🧲

It's the sweetness that comes through in your songs, they're like little candies, and your voice has a lot to do with that, it's very endearing. 💚

Karin-Maria Brunner-- @user-53145152-479345033 -- Saxaphone virtual wind instrument
K2 and the Three (and the Four)-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara --Ken—drums     
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)-- @josh-clary-1 --bass, piano, composition
  This song began with a request to me made by Karin-Maria about contributing an original song as a collaboration for her new jazz album called Jazztastic. After fleshing out a song on the piano, I had to get my right-hand man Ken involved to add the drums, because of course I did. 
  After we had worked it out on bass, piano, and drums, we sent it to Karin-Maria, who added the sax solo. She had it professionally mixed and mastered, primarily because the album is now available to stream on all the major platforms. So, please give the whole thing a listen. It has a bunch of collaborators on it, many of whom you will probably recognize. 
 Here is a link to the entire album, which has 21 tracks.  youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5…si=LO_jtztHGxUAUiBp
   We hope you enjoy this song as much as we enjoyed creating it. A side note, this is my first jazz song that I've ever written, and I really enjoyed doing it.

Cast of Characters:
E Ruizzo-- https://soundcloud.com/ruizzoidman21centurions --Manuel-- composition, lyrics, Squier Stratocaster electric guitar, vocals, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano, accordion, and horn
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Jose Ramirez nylon stringed flamenco style guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision Bass bass

This song began all the way back when Manuel was 16 and found love that summer with a girl named Carmen. He remembered her, though, and wrote this song about her all these years later. The title of the song means "Your name has the song," and the lyrics spell out the girl's charms using the letters of her name. Check out the lyrics and the translation below. 
  Using that inspiration, Manuel came up with the song structure and the vocal melodies to a rudimentary drum track with his electric guitar. He then asked Josh if the group would be interested in taking it on. Josh, never being one to refuse a challenging piece of music, and always on the lookout for interesting musicians with whom to collaborate, accepted his kind offer and created a project for the rest of the Eclectic Collecitve to join. He started the whole thing off by adding his bass, to which Ken added his innovative drums, to which Josh redid his bass, as is the typical process in the EC.
  Next up was JJ, who you'd think he'd grown up with Spanish music the way he added the horns, accordion, and piano. Then Stephen stepped in and added his psychedelic and intricate acoustic guitar to the stew. 
  It was all done, except for the mix at this point. Manuel did the honors, and did it very expertly. Stephen mastered it to give it more volume and dynamism, too, as he always does. 
  This was the first, but we hope not the last, time the EC has collaborated with Manuel, although we're all fans of the incredible music on his page. He was a true delight to work with, giving honest, encouraging feedback and helping us shape his song to meet his vision. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by E Ruizzo:

TU NOMBRE TIENE LA CANCIÓN  /  YOUR NAME HAS THE SONG

Qué es una lágrima en el desierto?  /  What is a tear in the desert?
Cae sin ruido, se evapora y se olvida.  /  It falls without noise, evaporates and is forgotten.
No tiene tiempo de brillar, su vida  /  It has no time to shine, its life
es corta y su camino tan incierto…  /  is short and its path so uncertain...

Ce del calor del desierto y su sol,  /  ‘C’ for the heat of the desert and its sun,
a del adiós por el que lloré tanto;  /  ‘a’ for the farewell for which I cried so much;
erre del río que forma mi llanto;  /  ‘r’ for the river formed by my crying;
eme de miedo, de magia y de amor.  /  ‘m’ for fear, for magic and for love.

E de esperanza, de espacio rosado,  /  ‘E’ for hope, for pink space,
de espina clavada, de suelta emoción;  /  for stuck thorn, for loose emotion;
ene de noche de un tiempo pasado.  /  ‘n’ for night of a past time.

Carmen, tu nombre tiene la canción  /  Carmen, your name has the song
de todo aquello que has significado:  /  of all that you have meant:
Carmen de luz, de sonrisa y de adiós.  /  Carmen of light, of smile and of goodbye.

a remake I did last night of a classic song

LAST KISS (COVER/REMAKE)

It is already March but this is only my first entry of the year.
This is a simple verse-chorus-bridge-chorus song which just serves to air some grievances about local politics.  See what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
We see the same sunsets
We face the same mornings	
But we are forced to pay for their mistakes	
Remedial measures burst	
Making the scene even worse	
Wealth here shrinks faster than your eyes could blink	
 	
We're all back to the same old view	
There is really nothing new	
Still have to face those fire drills	
Delayed reactions	
 	
Always underrate the tasks uphill	
Still think we'll buy their dump appeal	
It's simply an overkill	
 	
You never will understand the reason I feel this way	
Again, regardless of any plans,	
All at mid-class' expense	
	
Drowned in aimless debates	
All tailored to their tastes	
Interests co-exist with love and hate	
	
For too long he's been around	
Economy keeps diving down	
Still he refuses to step down	
A sad situation	
All these are leading us nowhere	
Damages done are beyond repair	
It's simply a sad affair

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.

Can't you see

Through the glass I saw a man
with weathered hands 
can you catch the timepiece falling
can you hold it in your hand
your closing every door I have opened
closing every door except the past
somewhere across the blue
I have to turn to another life
a summer wind
will take me there
I am the river washing over the stone 
you are the mountain calling me home
looking at your weathered hands

How much more now is enough
the body turning home
passions and the red, red dust
You and wonder roam

Far more grace than we can see
often so deceived
To give, to give to give away
And find where tender lays

It's miles and miles away

We're gonna find another way

soaring with our wings  
The memories fade, but the love remains 
We were fine art, a masterpiece

Beware

마필님 감사합니다

(Intro)
모두가 웃는 크리스마스에 혼자 조용히 떠나겠습니다
저는 이기적일 뿐이지만 그대들은 참 아름답습니다


난 어떤 사람이였어
못나고 좀 추했지
눈치만 보다가 손 한번 뻗지 못했어
소소한 행복이 내 전부였는데
한순간 실수로 잃어버릴 뻔 했어
어떡해 무서워 다들 잘만 하던데 
난 왜 여기서 멈칫해
사라져도 남아있겠죠
마법같은 삶이였어요

당신들은 어째서 이런 날
좋아해주나요
나 자꾸만 보고싶어져요
내년의 푸른 밤
그 밤엔 나도 웃고 있을까 

막이 내려갑니다
정말 감사합니다
하얀 폭죽이 펑펑
못 다한 말이 텅텅
정말 수고했어요
우리 모든 추억은
겨울 밤 화려한
불빛에 반짝반짝

잊지 못할거야
눈보라를 뚫고 먹었던 그 떡볶이는
잠깐 동경했던 일탈
미술학원 옥상에서 마셨었지 강아
미안 소홀했어 가족
어쩌면 외면한거지 날 위했던 과거
그때 한 약속이 기억이 안 나 
앨범 속 안고있는 갓난아기 
행복해보여 웃고있는 당신들이
매일 손을 잡고 다닌 학교 2분 거리 귀갓길
가르치는 대로 상을 많이 타왔던
난 꽤 평범해 엄마
내 운명을 처음 선택한 날
중3 학기말 처음 당신들을 설득한 날
지금 당신들을 만나게 된 이유
나의 인연 모두 행복하길 빌어

당신들은 어째서 이런 날
좋아해주나요
나 자꾸만 보고싶어져요
내년의 푸른 밤
그 밤엔 나도 웃고 있을까

막이 내려갑니다
정말 감사합니다
하얀 폭죽이 펑펑
못 다한 말이 텅텅
정말 수고했어요
우리 모든 추억은
겨울 밤 화려한
불빛에 반짝반짝



(Outro)
지금까지 내 이야기를 들어줘서 고마워
마지막이니까 사랑한다고 말하고싶어
