Inorganic Beings by Per Bronco Karlsson. The lyrics are a few quotes from Carlos Castaneda´s novel The Active Side of Infinity.

Inorganic Beings

Pour tous les amis du monde § For all friends in the world.
  English translation after the French text
-------------------------------------------
L’amitié c’est nous,  autour d’un feu d’camp,  
Beuglant des chansons, on s’marait tout l’temps. 
Les guitares jouaient et nos voix s'envolaient
Souvenirs gravés de ces temps enchantés

 L'amitié, c'est nous, le monde à   refaire
Des blagues, des disputes, des rêves à l’envers
Au petit matin, les bouteilles vidées
Gueules enfarinées , les rêves sont envolés 

Tant q’on sera là, et quoi qu’il arrive         
Continuons not’route, libre  à la dérive.
 nos cœurs de gamins, nos âmes vagabondes, 
illumine le monde

L’amitié c’est nous avec ou sans enfants
Le boulot, la famille on s’voit moins souvent 
Dans  nos cœurs aimant, sont toujours vivant 
Nos  rires d’antan,  et nos vingt printemps 

L'amitié  c’est nous, avec des cheveux blancs
Une  histoire qui dure, à faire mentir le temps
Nos belles aventures , ont fait     nos destins,
Rires aux coins des yeux, témoins de nos chemins.                         

Tant q’on sera là, et quoi qu’il arrive         
Continuons not’route, libre  à la dérive.
Nos cœurs de gamins, nos âmes vagabondes, 
Illumine le monde

----------------- AUTO TRANSLATE 
Friendship is us, around a campfire,
Bellowing songs, we were always laughing.
The guitars were playing and our voices were soaring
Engraved memories of these enchanted times

Friendship is us, the world to be remade
Jokes, arguments, upside down dreams
In the early morning, the emptied bottles
Floury faces, dreams are gone

As long as we're here, and whatever happens
Let's continue our journey, free to drift.
our childish hearts, our wandering souls,
light up the world

Friendship is us with or without children
Work, family we see each other less often
In our loving hearts, are still alive
Our laughter of yesteryear, and our twenty springs

Friendship is us, with white hair
A story that lasts, to make time lie
Our beautiful adventures have made our destinies,
Laughter in the corners of our eyes, witnesses of our paths.

As long as we're here, and whatever happens
Let's continue our journey, free to drift.
Our childish hearts, our wandering souls,
Light up the world

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” - Carl Sagan

Shining Star

Well hey now
have you ever just had enough
And hey now
Has it ever become too much

Dig deep, deep down inside
Feel the spark that keeps you alive

Be the one you are
See what you are

A shining star
That’s what you are
A shining star

In every beat of the heart
Is a testament to the part
Of the role we all play
Signed in D-N-A
Coursing through our veins
As foretold
It unfolds

So now, right now
Feel the wonder all around you
And now, right now
Know the mystery that surrounds you

Dig deep, deep down inside
Feel the spark that keeps you alive

Be the one you are
See what you are

A shining star
That’s what you are
Yea
Shining star
That’s what you are
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Ahh

I've been on this kick lately posting short isolated tracks of previously uploaded full songs, just to highlight certain parts. In this one, it's an isolated section of the vocal track & harmonies, with a bit of percussion. Here's a link to the full song, a cover of the infectious "It's All Right" by Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions. I'm really not much of a fan of my own voice, but had some fun playing around with this one. :)

The full song details are at the linked page:

Cast of Characters:

Cgmaness – https://on.soundcloud.com/4a2IWOT8tUQL3pbqdc – Chris – acoustic guitar, composition, production, and mix
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken– drums

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano and lead synth

Nyla K-- @user-162163879 -- vocals and lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Earle Scruggs banjo

This song started as many of our best do, with Chris coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. He shared it with the rest of us shortly after, and we were all very excited to tuck into it. 
  Ken was fist at the trough for this one, adding his jazzy, expressive drums. Josh came in as soon as he had a beat to work with, adding his signature fretless bass to the mix. Not long after that, JJ broke out the hauntingly melodic piano and Shine On You Crazy Diamond timbred synth you hear throughout. 
  Once it had a good structure to it, Mark came in and added the dynamic cello swells that open the song, some subtle strings, the melodic clarinet and flute, and a bit of synth pad near the end to spice up the soup a bit. He also had the great idea to ask Nyla to add some vocals, which she did in her typically dynamic and expressive way. Last, but definitely not least, we convinced Stephen to add some of his perfectly mood-setting banjo. 
  Once it was all in the can, it actually sat for several months before being revived by Chris, who also did the production and mix, expertly, as always.
   This song is an example of Eclectic Collective coming together to bring another one of Chris' brilliant songs to life. You should check out his new albums on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0RmKLMyiXe4eVeXa032MDV?
  Also, this is our first time collaborating with Nyla K. We wanted to find a way to include her talents on this one, and her vocals here are magical. You can hear a lot more of them on her page if you follow the link next to here name in the credits, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Nyla K: 

I once overheard 
a hushed up conversation 
'tween the fishes coming home 
and thank god for a holiday
yea
making the bull frogs sing for joy
as they awake
yea
...and this... is what they had to say

Spanish moss and bullfrogs
cattail cotton in the wind
yea...
and won't U take me to the river
yea...
take me on down to the river
and U better not say....

Better Not Say (Eclectic Collective with Nyla K)

Just having some blues fun with my wife Charlottie on b/g vocals and guitar.
Roll tape for one take fun.

Back On Top Again

'universe of fun (in utero)'

Verity. We like verity. Music delivers us verity. It's like a universal tool to hone and send verity to our heads as therapeutic wonderfulness...

We are very proud to present the first of many organically grown collaboration between One Man Verity Show and The Beautiful Dark. This was effortless. I guess thats the other amazing thing that real musicians can share... For years we stare through our instruments at the world of music and then someday we connect and the visions combine. We'll keep comparing our world to the world of fake music until it is the fad that it should be... AI cannot deliver you a connection like we just started. You may get a remotely similar result but heres whats real... AI has never has our eyes to look at the woerld for 40 odd years with and it never will. Heres to real human connections and real music. Cheers Scotty

Lyrics

To fungi moulded brain
Ha, who said we'd go insane!
To moderation main
Lined musical brain plane

To psilocybin liberty cap
Old medicine love to fill knowledge gap
Hallucinogenic conscious calm
Serves melodic thought through mouth and palm

We let finger run
Good psilocybin
Add to the birdies fun
Just doppler effect to dumb
One day, we'll all catch on
Sign ourselves to sound and sum
Good, self inflicted
Pure positive prone
Liberties begin to clone
We spread and hone
Bottoms up good planet of one

Let the fingers run
Run 'em for the Sun
Moon rise dear man
Flashbacks from fungi fun
The Universe we stun
Universe of fun

universe of fun (in utero) (with the Beautiful Dark)

Mr Bringer-er Together-er is Josh. You may also know him as artist Entheogenic Psychnought, or the spine of Eclectic Collective. We all came across Josh in our own lucky ways, but he really sets a high bar for spreading constructive musical love and encouragement on SoundCloud. This song started out as a comment. I (Carl/TBD) went to call Josh Mr Bringer-er Together-er and my phone auto corrected it. the next morning K2 swooped in and said what I wanted so I used that as a trigger for the song.
So, I had a rough arrangement. We then invited a few artists, except Josh, to paint it for him. Then Scotty (One Man Verity Show) chimed in with some amazing guitar, trippy backing vocals, and the super artwork you get to enjoy. Mark brushed in a triangle and started things off with a 5-part harmony backing vocal arrangement. Then Scratch Kelly, aka Sarah, beamed through some amazing backing vocals, and not long behind Joe Stroffolino painted in some brilliant backing vox as well. Then Ken added those trusty drums. Tez then strutted in and added some super lead guitar, and not far behind him was Stephen with some epic rhythm guitar that showed the way for the song from that point of view showing a much better space to all the other instruments than the original demo guitar. That was a lovely lesson on less is more...

The song was now ready to give to the main man for him to paint, and he chose his trusty bass to put some strawberries on his own musical cake.

I now stared at 37 tracks and went... Hmmm Stephen, Help! Stephen mixed and mastered it to its crisp current form, and it was a very difficult mix. He basically had to merge 3 projects to one and really aced the challenging mix and master like the true shaman he is. We hope you enjoy the song that brought us together again. May it give us more togetherness like Josh so wonderfully demonstrates everyday.
You da brother man Josh 🤘🏽
