What a gorgeous song Jim , with a voice like velvet !

Beautiful song 
song with great melody and some nice guitar touches. And the as for the bittersweet memory of your classmate named Christmas named Christmas, it’s good to be  remembered. I had a great school classmate who died of leukemia when she was 20 and I think about her sometimes too. Merry Christmas. Joe.

Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass and lap steel
This song began by Steve writing it on his acoustic guitar, singing it, and passing the recording on to Josh to share with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Tez was first to add his complimentary guitar in his typical expert fashion. Ken then added his very tasteful drums. Soon after. Josh worked his bass part until it was dialed in. After the Rhythm section was solid, JJ came along and sprinkled his organ magic throughout. Then, for good measure, Josh added some lap steel, too.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, and Tez was the man for the job on this one. Steve is a fantastic singer and songwriter. We all feel very lucky that he so generously shares his talent and work with us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:
Love is all aqround
Your love is coming down x2
your love is all around x2
just look what I have found x2
love will touch the ground x2
And I'm just waiting for you
just waiting on your train
to pass my house again x2
I know that I come around again x2
I know that I can find you x2
so let me in your heart x4
You know that I can find you
you know that I will
You know that I can give
I can give you anything
You know that I can find you x4

PLUIE ET LUMIÈRE

C est là en plein cœur de l’orage qu’Elle surgit là
C’est depuis le fond de moi qu’elle me foudroie
Elle surgit là, quelque part ....

Ces nouvelles montagnes à grimper ....
Je me retourne une dernière fois vers ce monde,
ce bout de moi que je vais laisser,
Seule une partie va me rester.
Je regarde l’autre se détacher,
Je n’ai pas le choix, je dois avancer:
A cette main du destin, je ne peux résister.
Une nouvelle partie va se rejouer
Est-ce à prendre ou à laisser?
Vais-je partir vers ces contrées insoupçonnées?
Les dés de ma vie ont été relancés
Vais-je la même rester?
Tout vient de se bouleverser
Toutes les pages de ma vie se sont retournées
Tout a été redistribué .… pour tout recommencer
Tel un phœnix je renais de mes cendres.
Je ne peux plus prétendre…

Je regarde une dernière fois tout autour de moi .…
Et je fais alors le premier pas.

Et même si la pluie ne cesse pas
C’est une autre histoire qui commence pour moi
Elle surgit là, elle surgit là ….

RAIN AND LIGHT

It is there in the heart of the thunderstorm that it arises there
It’s from deep inside that it strikes me down
it appears there, somewhere ....

These new mountains to climb .…
I return one last time to this world,
this piece of me that I am going to leave behind,
Only part will remain with me.
I watch the other one break away,
I have no choice, I must move forward:
I cannot resist this hand of fate.
A new game will be played again
Take it or leave it?
Will I leave for these unsuspected lands?
The dices of my life have been rolled again
Will I stay the same?
Everything has just turned upside down
All the pages of my life have turned over
Everything was redistributed…to start all over again
Like a phoenix I am reborn from my ashes
I can no longer pretend ....

I look around me one last time ....
And then I take the first step.

And even though the rain doesn't stop
This is another story that begins for me
It arises there, it arises there ....

Pluie Et Lumière .... With DelhyA

another from Sipos Studios. Original song by Bill Liggett.

Is it a good time.. lets make our point short and sweet
Save all the details till next time we meet
and if I dont see ya, dont you know that ill see ya
And if I happen to see you first ill be gone

is it important..im under the gun a hit and a run
they say that a snapshot is good for a thousand words
and if I dont see ya, dont you know that ill see ya
and if I happen to see you first ill be gone

anything more aint worth tryin
a lifetime of livings only 10 min long
and if I said any more id be lying way too much for a three minute song
and if.. I dont see ya, dont you know that i'll see ya
And if I happen to see you first..ill be gone.
Is it over,, did it all end in the blink of an eye
dont you fuss over me,, baby don't you cry
cuz if I dont see ya, dont you known that ill see ya
And if I happen to see you first ill be gone

I'll Be Gone

Hello dear friends
my wonderful 10-years-old granddaughter is a mighty skilled rider.
She rides like a princess.
She inspired me to make this little song/fairy tale.

Lyrics in English

The Girl on the Horse

The silence is broken when she is riding in
on her black and white horse
and the hooves are clapping on the streets of stone
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


They are both very excited about the speed they now have reached
when they fly through the town
they are cheering and they are clapping their hands and hooves
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


The dust is smoking and the people move aside
they don’t want to get hurt
they are very impressed by the skill they show
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


Her Grand Dad keeps telling her, please don't fall to the ground   (=me!!)
You might break a lot of bones
but the girl and the horse, they just laugh at him
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


Lyrics in Swedish

Flickan på hästen

Tystnaden bryts när hon rider in
på sin svartvita häst
och hovarna klappar på gatorna av sten
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


De är båda väldigt exalterade över hastigheten de nu har nått
när de flyger genom staden
de jublar och de klappar händer och hovar
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


Dammet ryker och människorna flyttar sig åt sidan
de vill inte bli sårade
de är mycket imponerade av den skicklighet de visar
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


Hennes morfar säger hela tiden till henne, snälla fall inte till marken      (=jag!!)
Du kan krossa många ben
men flickan och hästen, de bara skrattar åt honom
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden

The Girl on the Horse - 2024-12-07 10.56

     This is my new Christmas song for the year. It has a double meaning for me and that's why I call it "The Last Christmas"! Charlie did a good job singing it and I joined him in spots! I wrote it during the hot summer this year, so go figure!!😂 I used up all the tracks I had available to record it (I'm old school, give me a break!) and I had tons of fun recording all the parts too! The song at the end during the credits is another Christmas song I wrote back in 2001 called "Have A Very Merry Christmas" with Sharri singing and Charlie and me doing background vocals. Check both out I have a video each one! This video was super fun to create, I spent a lot of time and effort on it, the sleigh ride with Santa is especially cool! I added a lot of eye-candy and special audio effect here and there. This video is for the whole family so feel free to share it with loved ones and watch it together.

Now for the secret double meaning of this song!! It's a sad tale, so prepare yourselves! Back when I was in high school, back in ancient times, there was a very pretty girl in our English class named Chrissy, she was very nice and sweet, I sat next to her and she was very smart and let us dumb guys cheat off of her papers sometimes!😂 Anyway for almost the whole year I never realized that her real name was Christmas, we all called her Chrissy. There was something very sad about Chrissy, I didn't know what it was but the next year Chrissy never returned to school? Later, I found out she had leukemia, I think? She never returned to school after that and some of the kids told me she had sadly passed away however I'm not sure about that but I never did she her again. So this song is for her and after all these years she popped back in my brain?! So let's all enjoy Christmas this year with family and friends because you never know when it will be your Last Christmas! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all and Happy New Year!! 🙏😎✌🏼🎅🧑🏻‍🎄🤶🌟💫☃️🎁🎈🪅🎊❤️💝

“THE LAST CHRISTMAS”

CHRISTMAS, THE LAST CHRISTMAS,
CHRISTMAS, IS HERE AGAIN,
CHRISTMAS THE LAST CHRISTMAS,  
CHRISTMAS, DON'T LET IT END,                  

WILL WE LAUGH? WILL WE CRY?
WILL WE SAY OUR LAST GOODBYES?
OH CHRISTMAS, SWEET CHRISTMAS,
PLEASE DON'T DIE,
     
CHRISTMAS, THE LAST CHRISTMAS,
CHRISTMAS, THE TIME HAS COME, 
CHRISTMAS, THE LAST CHRISTMAS,
CHRISTMAS, WHAT HAVE WE DONE? 
 
WILL WE SMILE? WILL WE WEEP?
COUNT OUR BLESSINGS IN OUR SLEEP?
OH CHRISTMAS, FORGIVE US,
CHRISTMAS PLEASE,
SWEET CHRISTMAS PLEASE,
  
SNOW IS HERE, LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT,
THE TREE IS TRIMMED WITH LOVE TONIGHT,
RUDOLPH'S READY FOR HIS FINAL FLIGHT,
AH AH, AH AH, AH AH, AH AH,      
   
WILL WE SMILE? WILL WE WEEP?
COUNT OUR BLESSINGS IN OUR SLEEP?
OH CHRISTMAS, FORGIVE US,
CHRISTMAS PLEASE, SWEET CHRISTMAS PLEASE,  
BYE BYE CHRISTMAS, 
BYE BYE CHRISTMAS, 
BYE BYE CHRISTMAS,
BYE BYE.

"THE LAST CHRISTMAS" (Video - https://youtu.be/7LHAOfih50I)

Relaxing and thoughtful music to slow down your pace in life to experience the wonders around you.  Think about it... how often do you lift your head up and look above you?  Most of the time, I'm looking down at my piano keyboard, my computer, my feet, my phone and while cleaning, eating and reading.  At best, I look ahead while driving, shopping, watching TV, walking and maybe now and then I look up.  But when I do, it's not for long.  I'm usually  checking the sky for weather or trying to swat a fly!  Think about all the wondrous, magical and beautiful things we are missing by not looking up!

Secret No. 4

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS!** Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an okay lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio.  I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! I belong to the "Keep Humans In Music Movement" (KHMM)! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, real music made by HUMANS not MACHINES! So let's all sing a song with our own voices, please! I do not consent to any of my songs or videos being used or sampled or lifted in any way or fashion. Take care!👍😎✌🏼.
