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.

Tu Nombre Tiene La Canción (with The Eclectic Collective)

I have again the pleasure and honour to share with you a piece by my good friend Philippe Blanc! I told him I like his piece which is part of his album "Les 16 Ans" but would like to add some extra notes in the left hand, which he has allowed me to do....
Thank you Philippe!
I hope you will enjoy listening to this piece....
Thank you for listening....

Comme un Prélude by Philippe Blanc

This one is "Bodice Ripper", it tells the archetypal love story.
I particularly like the chord progression, and some of the melodic motifs.
I wrote it origanally as a song, so if any celtic-style vocalists want to record it, let me know.
The gender of the narative can easily be adjusted for a female vocalist.

The Tryst

A shipwreck survivor
I wash to these shores,
Just a hapless soldier,
Weary from the wars.
With mercy, they take me in,
That I might be restored,
Yet my thankless heart still wants for more.

She comes like an angel,
Bearing a tray,
Oh lady
Bide awhile, I pray.
Smiling she wipes my brow,
And jests about it all,
Into that moment we both fall…

We tryst like thieves in the dead of night,
Fearing the break of day,
We kiss and swoon into delight,
And then we must be away…
Hush now Love, let fate be kind,
Hasten now, don’t look behind.

Alone and in darkness she comes in disguise,
Oh lady,
I recognise those eyes.
Caught in a breathless trap
Whilst men seek us as prey,
Hurry now for we must be away.

We flee like thieves in the dead of night
Fearing the break of day,
One kiss, one swoon into delight,
Now there is a price to pay.

I will return, should fate kind,
Hasten now, don’t look behind….

I uploaded this a week ago but made critical errors in the mix in my haste. I hope this is better.
This is an acknowledgement of those we have loved and let go of. What might have been?

Wistful

"Depth Over Ease" is a quiet rebellion against the temptation of simplicity.
This piece chooses introspection over decoration, silence over noise, emotion over polish.
Every phrase reaches inward, unfolding like a secret remembered rather than recited.
It's a piece for those who listen with their whole self — not for ease, but for resonance.

Close your eyes. Breathe with the tempo. Let it take you deeper than comfort.

Depth Over Ease

Power Bomb

contraste des sentiments, entre blues de la vie (mais blues, c'est bleu aussi) et musique mi funk mi soul. Enfin bon, j'en sais rien : un peu de musique quoi...

la coupe aux lèvres

Chant of the warrior

Hello, Freind. Thank you for visiting my page.
**All compositions are original, and free of A.I.**
 As musicians we crave to be heard, to be seen, to share with another some of the joy we take in our creating. In fact our music does not really "exist" until it has evoked a response from another.  Indeed to be a human is to live with the need to be seen and responded to.
But this is world where we are distracted and drowning in content; constantly being pulled at by the algorithms competing for our attention. A world where " everybody's talking and no one's being heard" (John Lennon).
So your human attention has become a scarce and valuable thing. A commodity that is being mined.
So I really do appreciate that you have taken the time to visit my page, and listen to my offerings. Thank you.
 I welcome your comments, your feedback, your friendship. I will visit you in return.
