GETTING USED TO CHANGES

I close my POTENCIAL BIÓTICO album with this contemporary revival of a philosophical song I wrote 19 years ago when my grandpa died.

Could describe it as a requiem for guitar quartet, 2 voices, rhythmic base & church bell (you may know the piano version at https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/sets/piano-sessions-2012 album).

A mostly slow piece with lotta soul and no artistic ambition (but a little ‘Pros&Cons’ air to the end ;).

Letra / lyrics:

Miedo al cambio,  /  Fear of the change,
incómodo trabajo;  /  uncomfortable work;
molesto planteamiento:  /  annoying approach:
no me gusta lo inesperado.  /  I don’t like the unexpected.
  
A lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a ver las cosas cambiadas de sitio.  /  to see the things moved from place.
Ver a la gente irse al otro lado  /  Watching people going to the other side
es duro si piensas que todo  /  is hard if you think that everything
será siempre lo mismo.  /  will be always the same.

Ay, lo mismo ...  /  Ay, the same thing ...
ah, lo mismo ...  /  ah, the same thing ...
ay, lo mismo a mí...  /  ay, the same to me...
  
No he sabido reaccionar,  /  I didn’t know how to react,
atrapado en mi infantil ilusión   /  trapped in my infantile illusion
de que nada cambia,  /  where nothing changes,
ah, tengo que darme cuenta de lo que pasa,  /  ah, I must realize of what happens,
ay, tengo que salir de esta caja.  /  ah, I have to go out of this box.

a lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a las sorpresas de la vida,  /  to the surprises of life,
a nuevos planes que no había planeado,  /  to new plans I had not planned,
no me acostumbro a considerar  /  I don’t get used to consider
una opción distinta.  /  a different option.

Ay, distinta ...  /  Ay, different ...
ay, distinta ...  /  ay, different ...
ah, distinta a mí,  /  ah, different from me,
a mi pensamiento,   /  from my thought,
a mi forma de ser,   /  from my way of being,
a mi manera de verlo...  /  from the way I see it...

THE HARBOUR from Echoes from a distant Past

Cast of characters:
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Taylor T5z acoustic guitar, Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, Gibson Earle Scruggs banjo, Eastwood MandoCaster mix, mastering, production, and composition
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass, played with a plectrum 
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – harmonica, jaw harp, timpani, hambone percussion, and production editing     
This song began with Stephen, who recorded it on his acoustic guitar and bass to a programmed drum track a few months ago. We were all thrilled to work on it, even though it sat in BandLab as a project for almost a month before Stephen separated the tracks, thus allowing us to trickle in our parts. JJ was first to jump on it, because he could before the tracks were separated, as his part is completely his idea. He added the organ that really set up the entire sound of both dominant sections of the song. 
  Ken was first up to the project once the tracks were replaceable, making the wild, driving beat his own. Inspired by both JPJ and Michael Ivins, Josh laid down his bass line, trying to match Ken's energy. Last, but not least, Mark jumped in with the rumbling timpani. He also added the flavorful harmonica, and unique jaw harp you hear throughout, as well. Finally, Stephen also got the idea to add the hambone percussion at the very end of the song, which we all consider a treat, and after showing us how it's done, Mark volunteered his percussion skills to give it a go. Stephen wasn't done, though, and still had some magic to sprinkle. He went in and added the howling electric guitar you hear prominently in the second main section. Also, he added the tempting intro with his acoustic guitar and electric mandolin. 
  Once it was in the bag, we thought it appropriate for our master mixer Stephen to put it to bed, which he did in his always expert manner. 
  This is a gift from Stephen to all of us, and you, too. It took a lot of teamwork to make the dream work, as always for Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Here's an isolated track of just the hambone bit at the very end of the song (thanks for showing us this technique Stephen!):

All the strange beings on a space station.

Drifting - where you wanted to be. Lay back and let the current take you down. Lounging on the floaty that is life while the world unravels underneath. An homage to vintage summer horror flicks and the absurdity of modern escape - brought to you by The Day Afters.

Are you ready

Lyrics

Chanson Romanesque

Si vous me disiez que la terre
À tant tourner vous offensa,
Je lui dépêcherais Pança:
Vous la verriez fixe et se taire.

Si vous me disiez que l'ennui
Vous vient du ciel trop fleuri d'astres,
Déchirant les divins cadastres,
Je faucherais d'un coup la nuit.

Si vous me disiez que l'espace
Ainsi vidé ne vous plaît point,
Chevalier dieu, la lance au poing.
J'étoilerais le vent qui passe.

Mais si vous disiez que mon sang
Est plus à moi qu'à vous, ma Dame,
Je blêmirais dessous le blâme
Et je mourrais, vous bénissant.

Ô Dulcinée.

English

Romantic song

Were you to tell that the earth
Offended you with so much turning,
I'd dispatch Panza to deal with it:
You'd see it still and silenced.

Were you to tell me that you are wearied
By a sky too studded with stars -
Tearing the divine order asunder,
I'd scythe the night with a single blow.

Were you to tell me that space itself,
Thus denuded was not to your taste -
As a god-like knight, with lance in hand,
I'd sow the fleeting wind with stars.

But were you to tell me that my blood
Is more mine, my Lady, than your own,
I'd pale at the admonishment
And, blessing you, would die.

O Dulcinea.

TITLE: FLICKER SWITCH LOVE
_________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

Verse 1)
He walks in with a spark in his stride
Got that grin that lights up the night
A whisper low sends shivers down my spine
Then he drops a line that kills the vibe in no time

(Chorus)
Turn me on like a switch in the dark
Then you pull the plug and extinguish the spark
You’re a firework that fizzles halfway through
Boy you light it up and then you undo

(Verse 2)
His laugh is gold it’s a melody sweet
But his words trip over like clumsy feet
Sparks fly high but then they fall like rain
It’s a rollercoaster driving me insane

(Chorus)
Turn me on like a switch in the dark
Then you pull the plug and extinguish the spark
You’re a firework that fizzles halfway through
Boy you light it up and then you undo

(Bridge)
You're a puzzle with a missing piece
A song that ends before the release
You start the fire then let it freeze
Leaving me hanging in a cold breeze

(Chorus)
Turn me on like a switch in the dark
Then you pull the plug and extinguish the spark
You’re a firework that fizzles halfway through
Boy you light it up and then you undo
Flicker Switch Love
Choose This Version
(Verse 3)
You light the fire then you let it die
You spark a smile then wave goodbye
You’re the storm and the calm all in one
You start the race then decide you’re done

(Chorus)
Flicker switch love oh what’s your game
On and off you drive me insane

Turn Me On Just To Turn Me Off

Lyrics

Verse 1
Hold on, it's a long way down
Haven't been there for so long
It's a simple life when you're living on your own
so don't pick up the telephone (cell phone)
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay

Verse 2
So low, at the Sundowner Cafe
You're a bright light in the darkest place
Your stage name is all I need
So don't pick up the telephone
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay


Outro

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were lost in the night, you and me

We were strangers....

LYRICS :-
They dig a little deeper now
They're finding out the cause
The route , the problem and the pain
Keep showing us the way

Keep searching for solutions  how
Untangling the brambles and the thorns
Of what people say
When words get in the way

Secrets and lies
never helped anybody
Secrets and lies
Only help to lose your way
Everyday
Secrets and lies 
Make the waters so muddy
Secrets and lies 
Always leading us astray
What a shame

They're getting even closer now
They're opening up the door
They've found the key to this foul play
And chasing it away

A little of the decent kind
A little of the lay it on the line kind
It's only fair
Fair and square

Secrets and lies
never helped anybody
Secrets and lies
Only help to lose your way
Everyday
Secrets and lies 
Make the waters so muddy
Secrets and lies 
Always leading us astray
What a shame

Secrets and Lies

Secrets And Lies

Many children must act as a mother or father in the house since one or both parents are addicted to  prescription drugs.
The suffering of children as a result of their parents addiction is an important Topic. Therefore, we have dedicated this song to all children suffering from their parents addiction .  
This is not about being a bad parent but about an overuse of drugs prescribed by the doctor.
So our great hope is that awareness will one day, bring about change. Lyrics below.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this song <3

She's Not There

V1:
The joy she felt inside has long since gone numb
Her mood always looks so cold and grey
I don't regret the person I've become
But I miss them in every way
I miss my brother and I really miss my mother
Though I see them every day
Lift:
I stand on my own 2 feet
I depend only on me

Chorus:
Cuz' she's not there
All I see each day is a hollow blank stare
Her eyes looking back at me
With such a lack of empathy
What's the point of wasted tears?
Why reach out when she's not there?

V2:
My childhood vanished when the pills took her smile
Seemed like all the laughter was gone
Only one way this family would survive
I had to hold on and grow strong
I stepped into a life unreal
Did the household chores and learned to cook the meals
Lift:
I stand on my own 2 feet
I depend only on me

Chorus:
Cuz she's not there
All I see each day is a hollow blank stare
Her eyes looking back at me
With such a lack of empathy
What's the point of wasted tears?
Why should I cry when she's not there?

Bridge:
All I ever wanted was a normal life
When will they be coming back?
I won't feel guilty or apologize
I did the best with what I had

Chorus:
She's not there
All I see each day is a hollow blank stare
Her eyes looking back at me
With such a lack of empathy
What's the point of wasted tears?

Outro:
There's so much in my life I want to share
But she's not there

You shine so bright, you’re the leaves on the trees
You’re heat and light, you’re the birds and the bees

But I’m done with you, sun             
Say goodbye to the sky
Whatever may come              
I won’t be there to ride
I’m going inside, I’m going inside, I’m going inside

You’re my sunburn, your light stains my eyes
Drown in details, to die in the sky

I’m so done with you, sun, I am saying goodbye
Whatever may come, I won’t see when you rise
I’m going inside, I’m going inside, I’m going inside

Four walls ---there are four white walls
and a floor that I can lay on
up high, there is wood box
With a hole where you can come in, sun
 
You shine so bright,  through the clouds you can glow
Moon shines your light from tomorrow

But I’m done with you, sun, I am saying goodbye
Whatever may come, let the darkness be mine
I’m going inside, I’m going inside , I’m going inside
