I am glad to release this new track, composed on the great lyrics written by https://soundcloud.com/lukowig

Thanks to him for providing me (for the 2nd time) with great french lyrics

Translation in english is below french lyrics


On se craint
on se croche
on s'étreint
on s'accroche
et puis plus rien...

Plus rien
plus de rire
plus de liens
notre bâtisse de pierres
s'effondre à terre...
Plus rien
dans nos mains
plus aucun
lendemain
et ça va faut l'dire
de pire en pire...

On s'effraie :
bas les mains !
On se fraie
un chemin
vers quoi ? Vers rien...

Plus rien...
Même plus faim.
Plus rien
que la fin
d'un chemin
menant sur rien...

-------------------------------------------


We fear each other
we hook each other
we embrace
we cling to each other
and then nothing...

Nothing more
no more laughter
no more ties
our stone building
collapses to the ground...
Nothing more
in our hands
no more
tomorrow
and it goes on
worse and worse...

We are afraid:
Hands off!
We make our way
a way
towards what ? To nothing...

Nothing anymore...
Not even hungry anymore.
Nothing more
than the end
of a path
leading to nothing...

Plus rien

Plus Rien

Double Blind

This round I'm covering a Japanese pop song.
The problem is, I don't know Japanese but I really like the music.
The original was performed by veteran singer-songwriter Hideaki Tokunaga.  
I kind of shifted a little bit towards country pop in my arrangement and added an outro sax for completeness.  Just see what you think.

Apology to my Japanese friends for my probable weird pronunciation.

[LYRICS per Google Translation]
For you
I do not mind staying in my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

Easy eyes are created
I keep silent in that sky
Even if you do not miss a mystery love
Now I can not find a night here

For you 
I'm looking at a dream I have never seen before.
For you
Close your eyes, I love you

As the moment of two people runs out 
the troublesome thing to wear on your body
I can show you through

A desperate thought has risen up in that
All goes on to love as it is

For you
I do not mind having even my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

[ORIGINAL LYRICS]
あなたのために hu hu
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために huhu
透きとおって I love you

やさしい目が 创りだす
その空气に 默り迂む
ミステリーな恋  愉しんでも
探せない夜が いま ここに  

あなたのために huhu
见たことのない 梦を见つめてる 
あなたのために
目を闭じて I Love You

二人になる瞬间へ
走りだして 行くために
身に振りかかる わずらわしさ 
突き拔けてみせる いつ だって 

沸き起こる とりとめない想い
すべて 爱しさへ つづく

あなたのために ya ha
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために ya ha
透きとおって I Love You

For You  (Anata no Tameni)  Cover

Many thanks to Jeff for the encouragement (AOTS)

Some months ago I've been paired with Geoff to compose a song based on his lyrics "I'm not angry". The lyrics were so well-phrased that I heard the stomping of an angry, but fierce woman who is going through a divorce. Alyssa did an awesome job getting into the character and her voice is perfect for that song. Originally composed on the guitar, I am happy that Albert joined our team. We really needed that dark vibe in between folk and blues.

==== LYRICS ====

You used to be grounded
You used to be whole
Knew where you were going
Hit all of your goals

I used to be happy
I used to be glad
Knew what I was doing
Was pleased what I had

But I’m not angry
About what used to be
Don’t seek retribution
Or shake you from your sanctuary

We had a communion
We had a divorce
The pain and the pleasure
Took it’s own course

Down through the river
And out in the street
To wash over strangers
Shoes and their feet

But I’m not angry
About what used to be
Don’t seek retribution
Or shake you from your sanctuary

No I don’t care
For the love that’s been and gone
Cos a runaway train
Was waiting all along
Yes a runaway train
Was waiting all along

Quarterlife Blues

I'm Not Angry

Lyrics:-
Now is all we've got and
For now 
We're Present
Wow It's such a concept
That now
Is this moment

Now is all we have
And now is over
Now is all we have
And now is over

"WHEN" is just a flicker
Of light 
My friend
"THEN" is just a glimmer
of hope 
Again

Now is all we have
And now is over
Now is all we have
And now is over

Now Is Over

Now Is Over - Lou Osiavo & winkandwoo

This is a song that was written by the very talented Artur (Surfers Like Us), who is a surf rock master, and delivered to us in the form of a guitar track. Josh (Entheogenic Psychonaught) enjoyed adding the psychedelic, yet foundational four string fretless bass. Ken (K2 and the Three and K2 and the Four) boosted the energy level of the song when he blew our minds with his driving drums. JJ (J.J. Terrell) added the wild, dynamic organ you hear throughout. Tez (Llanpsych) brought lightning down from the sky in the solo over the third section. And last, but certainly not least, Stephen (TexMex Shaman) laid down the mind-bending guitar solos over the first two sections. He also produced and mixed it, with a little help from Ken. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as our Eclectic Collective enjoyed making it.

This is my first time playing on my new Yamaha drum set. The most I had ever played before was for maybe 2 minutes until the owner of said drum set asked me to quit playing them LOL. This song is about what it must have been like being an innocent woman in the town of Salem in the 1600's where the townspeople, all unbenownst to them, tripped out on some rotting rye stored away in the farm silos for winter. The whole town freaked out and became engulfed in a group-think paranoia situation and started killing off the women of the town thinking they were witches. 

Happy Halloween and hope you enjoy my spooky tune 👻🧙🏻🎃

Please, I Swear, I'm Not a Witch!

Frightened - Why don't you run and hide
Tonight - The raven is flyin' blind

The moon is black - just as you flee
The clock has struck - dark deity
Fadin' in and out of this nightmare
Tryin' to stay alive - a way out is nowhere

The night is bound, gagged, and tied
She cried so hard with her eyes so wide
Fading - into the night
Dying - is the final price
Help me - see the dawn's light
Surrender - without a fight

Running - heart exploding inside
You can have me - misery denied
To torture - painful and tied
All my bones - crushed up inside
An illusion - this soul and life
And a darkness - knife deep inside

Please, I Swear, I'm Not a Witch!

Music from the Hill- Indie rock from near Oxford, UK.
