Thoughts of Failure When Alone (G. Di Nunno)

A final call takes a bow
Stuffs complaints inside a box
With false romance ripped in two
Passed on through and left some signs.

Of when this life was going well
Can't think on what must change
All that arriving soon
First: to feel the worst of this
It's setbacks, fever tone
Thoughts of failure when alone.

Feel it all awhile
All this wracking doubt
Then lift-off once more
A strengthened return.

All these ramblings kick a dead horse
Gives an aura bitter blue
No one cares to hear the struggle
Off with dark shades--different view.

Had you listened, maybe offered
Open discourse all would end
Thus the tension, face revealing
Eyes withholding, moods descend.

Those hurdles gone the race is on
Until the next to do the best
With better ways the past decays
A small demand you understand...

#4. Thoughts Of Failure When Alone

Cast of Characters:
Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ and piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and rhythm guitar
cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris -- electric guitar
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar, production, and mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass 

This song was released a few weeks ago as a mix that Stephen did. Tez, being the equally talented producer that he is, decided to make a mix that highlighted the interplay between the guitars and the keys. This mix is more focused on the instruments, while still giving Steve's vocals their due. 
  The song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm acoustic guitar, as well as his always solid, dynamic drums to it. In short order, Ken got the rest of the Eclectic Collective together on it, starting with Josh, who added his five string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Next up was JJ, who's keys, both organ and piano, can be heard livening the whole thing up. Then came Tez with his fiery ripping guitar fills. 
  We were all blown away, though, when Stephen added his equally ripping guitar fills as responses to Tez's parts. It really sounds like the two maestros are having a conversation. Not to be outdone, Chris sprinkled some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning.  
  We all really enjoy working on Steve's songs, although it's been a few months since we did one together.  It's been proven many times before that if you start out with something good, and you end up with some thing great. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Summer In An Olympic And Paralympic Year

Nothing’s ever easy now

Czuję ten ból. 
Rozrywa mnie.
Nikt nie pomoże. 
Chce zniszczyć się. 
Dla mnie bez Ciebie.
Kończy się świat. 
Zakorzenieniem.
Ratuje nas.

To nie jest łatwe.
Tak boję się.
Jesteś jak woda. 
W upalny dzień. 
Gdybyś był blisko. 
Mogę iść spać. 
Bo się nie boję.
Że skończy się świat.

Nie chcę Cię niszczyć. 
Swoim zmartwieniem. 
Jestem zepsuta. 
To urojenie
Dała Ci więcej. 
Niż mogę dać. 
Przy niej łatwiejszy. 
Będzie Twój świat.

Myślałam, że chcesz być.
I wstydzę się. 
Że pozwoliłam. 
Zakochać się.
Przepraszam bardzo.
Za myśli me.
Chciałam usilnie. 
Byś pokochał mnie. 

Gdy ją znalazłeś.
Wszystko zmieniłeś.
To nie to samo. 
Mnie odtrąciłeś. 
Byłam potrzebna. 
W tym jednym celu. 
Nie będę osądzać.
Bo było was wielu. 

Nie chcę Cię niszczyć. 
Swoim zmartwieniem. 
Jestem zepsuta. 
To urojenie
Dała Ci więcej. 
Niż mogę dać. 
Przy niej łatwiejszy. 
Będzie Twój świat. 

Nie chce przeszkadzać. 
Nie chce być cieniem. 
Nigdy nie będę.
Twoim pragnieniem.
Teraz rozumiem.
To była gra. 
Nic Ci nie zrobię.
Nie jestem zła. 

Nie chcę Cię niszczyć. 
Swoim zmartwieniem.
Jestem zepsuta. 
To urojenie
Dała Ci więcej. 
Niż mogę dać. 
Przy niej łatwiejszy. 
Będzie Twój świat.

Nie chcę Cię niszczyć. 
Swoim zmartwieniem.
Jestem zepsuta. 
To urojenie
Dała Ci więcej. 
Niż mogę dać. 
Przy niej łatwiejszy. 
Będzie Twój świat.



Monika Zamłyńska - "Przy niej"

“Not Alone” is a deeply personal Texas Country ballad by Lori DeAnn, written in the aftermath of a crumbling relationship. With felted piano, ambient pads, and hard-strummed acoustic guitar, the song builds from quiet vulnerability to cinematic peaks. Soulful, breathy vocals and layered harmonies carry a story of heartbreak, truth, and resilience—ending with a gentle taper that echoes the haunting intro. A signature piano riff and steel guitar accents reinforce the emotional theme of being “short on truth” but not alone, while layered whispers in the final chorus add intimacy and depth.

On The Way Back [Hans Zimmer Strings]

Gino Di Nunno is a 66 year old guy from Greensburg, Pennsylvania. He can't sing, but since starting writing and recording his songs in 2016, he is improving. He is obsessed with Rock Progressivo Italiano, Orchestral music (Beethoven, Mahler, Shostakovich), Jethro Tull, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, and Philosopy. Gino started playing guitar in 1976, but two years later he suffered a left-hand accident and lost 3 and 2/3 fingers (He also started dabbling with piano in 2016, though he doesn't consider himself adept he knows enough to make it sound good). He did not start playing again (as a left-hander) until 1980, and with very long practice sessions, he was able to start a band, taking the hard road by writing original material with his brothers and a few vocalists, where they played everything from Punk, Blues, and a mix of Progressive Rock and Metal.

The band of brothers decided to end their music pursuit in the early 90's to catch up with life. Gino decided to give music another try in the early 2000's and didn't start recording and releasing music until 2016, releasing versions of albums on Soundcloud where he had no idea what he was doing; however, each album saw improvement (yes...even his vocals) by learning through trial and error experimentation. 

Gino said the best advice he ever received was when a guy told him, "if you can't sing, make sure your lyrics are good so people will focus on them instead of your singing." Gino writes deep lyrics dealing with life struggles and predicaments, yet always with a bit of hope. He prefers to write small symphonies within a song, with lots of changes, added dynamics, and a breaking away from familiar forms and structures. He realizes he is not unique in breaking new ground, and that aging and long practice sessions has given him (at times) an aching right wrist which has taken away the speed he once had, and even with his spotty vocals his only request is that you dive deep into the songs because he insists something beautiful can be discovered.  (Antonella Gaspari)
