WAIT FOR PAIN TO DRIP INTO A NEW DIMENSION

I created a video for this. To watch it go to: https://youtu.be/WRMXCoEO_LA?si=fzZ-Q0xR2UcAF6Th

I am in increasing pain every day because my spine is a mess. Playing the piano is one of the most painful things I do. It sucks the oxygen out of the room. I don't let it beat me. The day before I recorded this I had steroid shots in my mid back, hoping it would give me a little relief. That day I had no pain. I sat at the piano for 5 hours working on music because it was such a joy. It lasted for a day and a half.  It was supposed to be weeks. anyone with chronic pain for years knows what this is like. I can only lay back on pillows for so many hours each day. I am not complaining. It is what it is. Arthritis in my hands would be worse and I have none of that. But this day - this one day was wonderful. I had asked the doctor for one day. That is what I got. W.e have to fight for the things we love.Music gives me the energy to keep going,  Who knows what these hands will produce. I don't have to be the best. I need only be the best I can be.

No Pain

Piece inspired by romanticism in the city: love within concrete walls, poetry beneath artificial light...

Three vocal parts (translated lyrics below) became in very different moods in the songwriter phase, so I couldn't fit them in the same tempo. Working hard on transitions, I got the following solution:

Intro: ad libitum
A: 6/4 & 5/4 at 147bpm
B: 4/4 at 220bpm
C: 4/4 at 293bpm

Such ABC pattern is repeated twice, structured with some city scenes, and 2nd 'C' part includes a guitar soloing lesson by https://soundcloud.com/paco-ray, old friend of mine, technical consultor and personal luthier ;)

Pic: edited photo taken from home studio window where I recorded some city sounds for the track.

LETRA / LYRICS:

DAS VIDA A MI CIUDAD      /      YOU GIVE LIFE TO MY CITY

En la ciudad donde vivo,     /   In the city where I live,
llena de romanticismo,       /   full of romanticism,
el cariño que has perdido    /   the affection you have lost,
ven a buscarlo conmigo.      /   come to look for it with me.

Las farolas en la acera,    /    The lamps along the sidewalk,
con su fija alternativa,    /    with their constant alternation,
iluminan, no iluminan,      /    illuminate, do not illuminate,
el escenario de mi vida.     /   the stage of my life.

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor. /  we are able to feel love.

Caminando sobre asfalto,   /     Walking on asphalt,
abrazado a tu cadera,     /      held on your hip,
entre coches aparcados,     /    amid parked cars,
duerme la ciudad entera.    /    the entire city sleeps.

Eres tú toda la vida      /      You are all the life
que esta ciudad necesita,   /    that this city needs,
compartiendo cada esquina,   /   sharing every corner,
calles de melancolía...     /    streets of melancholy...

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor.  / we are able to feel love.

Das vida a mi ciudad (2nd solo by Paco Ray)

Brutalist 1960s iconic 'streets in the sky' complex - Park Hill Flats gained listed (protected) status and has been (and is still being) renovated (and sold). 
Many memories of the early post-slum clearance days must resonate with its previous residents who were moved out to 
make way for the developers.....

Track details.
Soprano saxophone duet augmented by bass-pedal flute and clarinet, found beats and bass with some electronics, flute and clarinet snippets.

Dear Reader, 

Not all songs must exist on the grid. This song has no click track and therefore, it breathes. As a result, nothing was quantized. It's real playing and real performances. I hope that you can hear it. 

Of course,  the song was multitracked (I played and sang everything, so it had to be) and since there was no grid, I had to listen and react to make it gel.  I hope you consider what I did a success. 

Thanks as always for coming back to listen to more of my music. In the past four years I have produced more than 140 original music videos and I have gained 800 subscribers. This is only the beginning. I have much more music to write, arrange and produce, and I am thankful for every listen. 

Respectfully, 

Roger Whittlesey

Lyrics:

(Chorus)
Extra ordinary—-holler if you hear me
Cause Anything goes—-Anything goes
Ask Jane ———-first name Mary
Fact—— fiction ———or theory
Yeah——Anything goes—-Anything goes

Anything goes with the beat and the rhythm
don’t worry about the verses ——got ya ——gonna kill em
extra ordinary ——-level up when you——hear me
a new dish in the menu——
like DoorDash—- I’ll bring you
——-different flavors——-different styles——
Keep it versatile

Negative vibe——no——never
jamming to the groove——
a routine endeavor
Beatz bumping—— fist pumping
they all want more ——give it up, still on top
I’ve got that high score ———————-
I’ve got that high score

energy and focus makes me the Dopest ——
I’m not bragging ——but hope you know this
:adds to my opus
———-this adds to my opus

the plan relentless make more and spend less
that’s part ———-of my checklist—-
dividing my——-check less
bottom line ——specialist
who can —-contest this ——
taste with ———a fresh twist
delivering ——-pure freshness—-
told you—— don’t stress this
level up ———to —-the—A-list ———
momentum———- contagious

Straight to the top, no time to delay
Let your body rock, got my mind on replay
Building empires, from rhymes to paper
Every bar a brick———-, and I’m stacking skyscrapers

Always hustling——always hustling
the grind never cease
Flow so cold———-like a winter breeze

Never on the sideline———gold standard —brilliance
Sip it down —like fine wine——perfecting my resilience
Get yours ——-I’ll get mine—-beats in my veins
Riding high naturally——has always ——-been the aim,
And ain’t no stopping ———And ain’t no stopping
—————Stopping these gains

Negative vibe——no——never
jamming to the groove——
a routine endeavor
Beatz bumping—— fist pumping
they all want more ——give it up, still on top
I’ve got that high score ———————-
I’ve got that high score

Anything Goes Vocals 106 BPM

Cast of Characters:  

Roy Roy – @user-967672349 – Roy – foundational guitar, composition, and arrangement 

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, synth sax, synth strings, synth brass, production, and mix 

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– whah guitar, and mastering 

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion  

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass  

This song began as a well developed, funky disco idea Roy came up with on his guitar, and shared with JJ. JJ added a wonderfully complex orchestration of various keys (including the sax solo you hear towards the end.    JJ invited Stephen first, who came up with the funky ass wah guitar that also carries the groove. 

Of course, JJ realized that this is a disco song, so he enlisted Ken to come up with one of his awesome beats to carry it along. 

JJ had a rudimentary bass line that he played himself, but decided to get Josh to do the honors instead. So, Josh came up with a totally new bass line designed to shake your cheeks. 

Once it was in the can, we decided to ask JJ to mix it for us. This is a first time JJ has mixed a song for The Eclectic Collective, and we were all impressed with his work. Stephen mastered it, as he is a master masterer.    

We're all really impressed and delighted with the experience of working with Roy and his music. He is a very talented artist with a lot of great music to check out on his page, too.   We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it, and that it makes you shake your hips while you're doing the dishes, too!

The sequel to "Whisper Over Berlin"...

Midnight flies over Brandenburg
10 hours on a redeye plane
Flood the runway lights
In the Berlin rain

Found a jacket second hand shop
The leather cracked against the grain
Just a hint of gin
Feel the Berlin rain

C’mon play me, play me, play me, those old folk songs
You can take me, take me, shake me, take me along

The bars are empty and Cohen’s gone
Her voice still hangs on that old refrain
In the key of A
Hear the Berlin rain

C’mon play me, play me, play me, those old folk songs
You can take me, take me, shake me, take me along

The autumn wind is blowing cold
Left JFK for an eastbound train
Her sound comes down
Like the Berlin rain

The sound comes down
In the Berlin rain
Her sound comes down
In the Berlin rain

Berlin Rain (with Joliz)

Lyrics

Dear little rainbow boy
What have you done
Why are you hiding
Are you on the run

Did you tell anyone
About purple and red
That you changed your direction 
To rainbow boys instead

Did you papa get angry
When you told him the truth
Was your mama upset
Shed tears over you

Did they tell you to stop
Did they say you were wrong
That you put them to shame
So you're all alone now

Did they tell you to stop
Did they say you were wrong
That you put them to shame
So you're all alone now

Dear little rainbow boy
You don't have to hide
You are not alone
I'm on you're side

Take pride in your colors
Let them shine through
There is gold at the end of the rainbow for you..

Take pride in your colors
Let them shine through
There is gold at the end of the rainbow for you...
