The Carpenters are the Favourite band of all my celebrities.

Their songs have been a part of my childhood, my teenage years and even
now. Especially Karen's voice.
She had a fairly deep, medium-range voice, warm and colorful,
with an exceptional tone.
She was not only a singer, but also a very talented drummer.
Her brother Richard also has an extraordinary voice and does a lot of
backing vocals.

Their two voices alone amply cover the harmony of their tracks.
They're Unique.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this song; it's well-paced, as well as the bass and especially the drums.
For me, this song is very hard to sing, 
because the key starts off very low and rises quite high,
and the tempo also increases.

Honestly, I struggled to keep up with the rhythm in both choruses.
As I was saying, my voice isn't what it was 20-30 years ago. 🙂

Paroles:
Une histoire d’infortune, l’enfant imprudent 
Lâche  son ballon rouge  qui  s’envole dans le vent  
Part  visiter le monde  les mers, l’océan 	 
Faire un tour du monde, la planète  est ronde

Refrain
  Ivres de liberté les ballons lâchés
  Sont des rêves d’avenir  
  Un désir enchanté ,promesse éclairée
   Un récit pour sourire

Vu du ciel étoilé c’est joli la terre
La Mère nourricière   de  l’humanité 
Sur tous les continents , des hommes et  des femmes  
 Des forêts des rivières On n’vois pas  d’frontières

Vu d’en haut c’est marrant on n’voit pas d’mechants
On n’ vois pas les guerres ni même  la misère
regard innocent, d’ un ballon d'un enfant 
C’est joli la terre quand tu prend les airs 

Les années ont passé,  ballon de retour
murmure à l'oreille de l'adolescent 
Le récit des merveilles vues chaque jour
C’est joli la terre quand tu déploies tes ailes

Traduction
A story of misfortune, the reckless child
Releases his red balloon which flies away in the wind
Goes off to visit the world, the seas, the ocean
Take a trip around the world, the planet is round

Chorus
Drunk with freedom, the balloons released
Are dreams of the future
An enchanted desire, an enlightened promise
A story to smile at

Seen from the starry sky, the earth is pretty
The nourishing mother of humanity
On all continents, men and women
Forests, rivers We don't see borders

Seen from above, it's funny, we don't see bad guys
We don't see wars or even misery
Innocent look, from a child's balloon
The earth is pretty when you take the Airs

The years have passed, the balloon returns
whispers in the adolescent's ear
The tale of wonders seen every day
The earth is beautiful when you spread your wings


Le ballon rouge

ALL YOU NEED

Some Positive Thought

Verse1 
What is life: one loses, another wins
And you immerse yourself in an ocean of sins

Verse 2
Now you've lost this game and are in despair.
And here and there, temptations are just in the air.

Chorus:
So you want to get some relaxation
And now you're  captivated by temptations
Forgetting everything, you begin to sin,
Breaking all the righteous ways now
No more variations in this situation
Lost your soul with no way to go.

Verse 3
You chase the light but still fall into the night
But something deep inside still yearns to find the light

Chorus:
Lost in the excess of sensual pleasure
Where there is no limit and no measure
You sell your soul for gold
But all you get is cold
Illusions shimmer, then fade somehow
And no destination in this revelation
Trapped inside with nowhere to go

Verse 4
It’s hard to see what’s real and what’s a disguise
But truth still lives beneath the surface of lies

Chorus 3:
I'm tired of being constantly deceived
But from the problems I have once received
And in this perception
Of naked truth and deception
We all just still live in this world.
So my life's conception
In this combination
Is that not all that glitters is gold.

Lyrics

Give me some jazzy dream
Come on fill my heart
It's an abyss in there for your good clean
Call it storage for making art
Children can learn whats real
If they're lost, Here a soul they'll find
Who lays it all bare for the team
Just to show the truth can still rule our kind

Mirror You Mirror Me
Positive truce or negative need
Let stillness seed and silence show
The less control of others the more you'll know

Observable this Universe
Discernment grows those other views with worth
Each niche can teach
In evolution we reach
Fittest of physical traits
Good bye to that fake behaviour you make

Mirror You Mirror Me
I'm tilting away from your false realities
Let stillness seed this stern nuclear glow
I won't mirror others where fake is all they show

Mirror feed
Be positively free
Stand your ground
Don't be afraid
Defend your friends from weak bullies

It's subtle light funkamental
Shove away the dark
Get a grip on the mental
Be your brightest human light
Make your own new fundamental

Deal dust in night power moth
Let's hug a tree so sayeth this goth
Mirror Free Mirror True
Never fear rips all power from you
It's the tree wrapped arms that bring this glow
Churn that chime
Tree let know

Mirror You
Mirror Me

Mirror You Mirror Me
I'm tilting away from your false realities
Let stillness seed this stern nuclear glow
I won't mirror others where fake is all they show

Mirror Mirror on the wall
Where's that love
Now, for us all
Give us a bit
Hope to enthral
Don't be a glitch   
Our darkness will fall

Mirror Mirror on the wall
We got the love
Our biggest ball
The game is good
Game time for all
Lest scratch that itch
Light, waves, air
Enthral
Mirror Mirror on the wal

This is one peruses how we mirror eachother behaviourally and energetically. Unless we tilt away from less conscientious behaviour it's difficult to not absorb the feelings thrown at you by others and for them visa versa. That's why I call for that positive wave from people so much as the more of us that consciously project positivity the more positive Earth becomes for everyone. Live your own prayers of positive please. I try hard. It's easy to make a song about it but it's visciously hard to live it all the time, but I'll keep trying to get better at it everyday for Earth and my Kids. They deserve it and it could be their only hope at survival . The current & next generations need to finally find that positive human niche collectively or it may be game over for human planet. Earth will move on with new life with or without us. I know which outcome I'd prefer to try and mould.

That's how we wipe out depression, by not creating fear filled realities for our children. Once they start experiencing more and more positive upbringings then they won't need to figure out the fear as they will have transcended being afraid from young and there will be nothing for them to be depressed about.

A bit of Light 🕯️ 

GAA - Gaelic games in Ireland involves two sports. Gaelic Football & Hurling. For the last while the GAA has established itself in Palestine. It's a beautiful bit of light for me & they love it apparently. There was meant to be a delegation coming to Ireland from the West Bank over the coming days but red tape has stopped it. Here's hoping they get to where that bit of light was born and they can continue to amplify and expand it for themselves. Love you Palestine 🫡🔆

The struggle
https://youtu.be/z0jPYvauusA?si=YojB6DRUwO98I4DN

Another roadblock
http://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2025/0716/1523766-gaa-palestine-visa/

But we will always sing, play and call the names of our Palestinian brothers and sisters because they need our love now and forever like we need theirs

This song isn't directly about the middle east but for us all that is top of the list as the negative scourge on our reality so let's project all the positivity we can towards the people there and maybe it will help a little bit.

Mirror You Mirror Me

Cast of characters:
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster electric guitar, mix, production, and composition
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – synthesizer, vocals, and lyrics
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four string bass
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson cutom T electric guitar, sometimes with an ebow
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and synth

This song began as an idea Tez came up with on his guitar while on holiday not far from his home in Wales. It had such a solid form, it inspired Mark to write lyrics and come up with vocal melodies within a few days of hearing it for the first time. The two of them have written several songs like this, making them a solid songwriting source for Eclectic Collective. 
  Once the song had a even more solid form, Ken took added his dynamic, bouncy-groove drums to it. As soon as Ken had the drums down, Josh took his turn, adding the fretless bass and solidifying the groove. Now that the basic framework was done, Stephen added his thrilling electric guitar. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added his dancing organ and the really cool, psych synth lead part in the bridge towards the end. Mark also added some awesome backing synth to it, as well, filling out the sound. At the very end of the process, Tez also dropped in the hot intro and outro solos, as well.
  Once we had it all in the can, it was time to turn it over to Tez for his expert production and mix. He came up with the idea of adding reverb to the drums, as well as some other compression tricks, which he employed with subtle style. 
   This, as mentioned, is a great example of what Eclectic Collective can do in house with the composition and songwriting skills of Tez and Mark. The rest of us really had fun working on this one, too, of course. We hope you enjoy listenig to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by mistermark:

There’s something I’m seeking that I’ve never found
but the seed that you planted went deep in the ground 
there’s a journey that I’m on and the path is uncertain 
the magic fades when you pull back the curtain 

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow 

There will never come a time when I do you harm
cause my soul is steady when I’m in your arms
and never have I heard music like your Voice 
when you call me to you I have no choice

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow 

Like a puzzle on the table all the pieces fit
like I’m standing in the dark and a match is lit 
and what it all means man I just don’t know
but it’s a powerful feeling and it’s starting to grow

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow

Wherever U Go-Eclectic Collective

LYRIC
It took me half my life 
To finally gain insight
I only saw myself as others did
And I mostly stayed hid

I spent half my life
Upset and uptight
I learned it’s stupid to walk on eggshells
Every egg eventually breaks
And if that takes you half your life
That’s what it takes

Can't say exactly when
I knew what I didn’t then
A dawning realization
An opening of the mind
It only took me half my life for me to find

Time isn’t playing
It’s counting the days
If you don’t know what I’m saying
(Well) you won’t be young always
You sure won’t!

As the years accrue
In the remaining few
I won’t let regret confine me
I’ll amble slowly toward the light
Let the past all fade to black
I can’t go back
I love this last half of my life
So that’s all right


Half My Life

Swell

Anyone who can tell what the song title reference to?

F'd Like Taylor Rain

Two Four Niner

A dark, seductive journey through pulsing basslines, hypnotic synths, and haunting vocals. "Just One Spark" captures the moment desire ignites chaos — and you surrender to the flame.

Just one spark
Burned it all
I danced with flame
Just for the thrill
Now I’m numb
But burning still
No way back
No lie to forgive
Just a ghost
Who dared to live

Is this all? Just scars
Life gave, then took
Call it sin, call it luck
I just needed one look
Now it spirals, thin as smoke
Cut me deep, no joke
Kissed the void, gave in
Now I bleed in the skin I’m in

I danced with flame
Just for the thrill
Now I’m numb
But burning still
No way back
No lie to forgive
Just a ghost
Who dared to live

Freedom stung
Like wine on skin
Midnight smiled
I let it in
Desire cut
Soft and slow
Now my mirror
Doesn’t glow
Laughed at fate
Now I choke
On every dream
I ever spoke

I danced with flame
Just for the thrill
Now I’m numb
But burning still
No way back
No lie to forgive
Just a ghost
Who dared to live

Whispers fading out
It was just fun...
But now I rot.

I am not a professional musician, I write music in different styles exclusively for myself. Every month a new one-two tracks! I will be glad to collaborate with interested performers and producers. 
The constant howling of sirens and the incessant shelling of peaceful cities. People are dying ... Who needs all this?
