Nicely performed with cute nostalgia timbre... :)

The high life 

She steals the breath out of me
When all I want to do is sin 
I’m leaving the good to the rest 
I’ve been before and I will again 

 Cant do anything without her
Well nothing unless you stay in 
No electricity or power 
Live off the fat of the land 

To keep a life of influence and pride 
I’m in where do I stand ? 
Show me where I can find ? 

She appeals to the rebel in me 
When I wanna go against the grain 
My grip on reality 
Is starting to show the strain 

To live,  a life,  of influence and pride 
I’m in, where do I stand ? 
Show me where, I can find ? 

The high life 
It’s Now or never 
Alright 
Can we get it together 
So nice 
Won’t be forever 
I’m here for the pain 
So I’ll stay for whatever

The High Life

When Manuel sent me a guitar track over a year ago I fairly quickly decided to write an epilogue for Major Tom. Little did I know that I would end up taking a longish break from writing music. With infinite patience Manuel waited for me until now and to my even greater surprise this retro lyric has become almost current with the two NASA astronauts in space waiting for their return trip to Earth.



SEND ME A ROCKET
(MAJOR TOM THE EPILOGUE)

I can’t hear you 
Still I can see you
A cloudy ball in space
Nothing to keep it in place
This is my beautiful view
Nothing can make things right
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
This can’t be
This can’t be
My final fate

It’s been so long
It feels like you forgot me
Nobody cares about the shirts I wear 
Did you move onto something new
Cause I’m still looking at you
I’m still waiting for you

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Show me that you love me

You forgot so soon
It hurts all the time
You forgot I was a shining star
You wouldn't write enough about me
Oh, oh, I’m so sad

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Lighten your pocket
Show me that you love me
Send me some hope
Some hope

I can’t let go
I dream all the time
I wanna feel the sun and wind
I wanna go home

Stuck in my tin can
With no way out, out
Shiny and bright
Can you hear me shout, shout
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
Oh no, oh no
I want to go
Want to go
Want to go 
Want to go home
Go home
This can’t be
This can’t be

Lyrics:
Here I am again
Heart in hand my friend
And don’t how it got this bad
And I don’t know when 
I’ll ever understand
Maybe never 
Maybe now I’ll see myself
And all that I’ve become

Is it me out there
Seeming not to care
I’ll go on with my life
But the fairy tale,
It lets me down every time
Right before my eyes,  
He keeps me warm, 
A kiss upon my cheek
He gives me love,  
He gives me honesty,  yeah

I flow with you,  
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we make our peace
Let me flow with you,  
And you’ll flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
But it’s so hard to feel  
so hard to feel

He gives me love 
And a kiss upon my cheek

And I flow with you 
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we'll make our peace
Yeah I flow with you  
And you can flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
We still believe, oh yeah

He gives me love  
he gives me honesty
He gives me love,  
He gives me everything, yes he does
He keeps me warm

Debut

Flow

I always put you up on a pedestal - And you would prove me right every time - And every day my life's been better still - I never let you off my mind
I always thought that it be better by now - I always seem to let you down - I'm trying hard but babe it's bred in me - Please don't leave me upside down
And there's a cold wind blowing from the north and i worry about us all the time - with the distance growing and sharp hollow notions we're oblivious through it all
Promise me you'll never leave me even though the coast is clear just say you aint going nowhere - i saw him leave the house smiling - saw him tuck in his shirt believe me babe your secret's safe with me - it'll always be safe with me
I always thought that we'd be better by now - I never seemed to let this go
Walking away babe is so damn hard - when you're all I've ever known
And there's a warm wind blowing from the west and so much i need to get off of my chest - I didn't mean to hurt you but i am flawed - believe me baby I'm doing my best
Promise me you'll never leave me even though the coast is clear just say you aint going nowhere - I saw him leave the house smiling - saw him tuck in his shirt believe me babe your secret's safe with me
It'll always be safe with me
It'll always be safe with me safe with me
It'll always be safe

Safe with me

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, sitar, mix, mastering, and production
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, electric piano, and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 

This song is the brainchild of Artur, who composed it on his guitar perfectly for collaboration, and presented it to us with his vision for the entire sound. Ken went first, of course, adding his signature rocking beat to the song. Josh went next, as soon as Ken had laid down the drums, adding his four string fretless bass sound to fill out the rhythm section. 
  Tez came along soon after, adding some foundational ornamentation with his guitar. JJ jumped in right after Tez, and laid in the majestic organ, riffing electric piano, and subtle synth you hear throughout. Finally, Stephen laid his guitar in there, too, which can be heard as a fiery melodic line running throughout. At Artur's suggestion, he also added some amazing, trippy sitar in a couple of spots, too.
  Once all the tracks were laid down, Stephen came through with his always skillful mix. This makes almost an album worth of material that The Eclectic Collective has created from Artur's ideas. We're always excited when he drops a new one in our laps. He wrote this on a sweet rainy day in the Polish summer. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
 
  We all appreciate your support, and encourage you to share this song if you've read the whole way down to the bottom here.

Sweet Rainy Day (Eclectic Collective)

Lyrics
Earth & The Wailing Wiccans
By David Husted

Scene1 [Guardians of the Trees]
when I see you through the candle light
The tears and the laughter bind
Big trees are coming down
The crazy man's eyes 
shout, 

Scene 2: [Tree Fall]
And I'm coming down now
I'm coming down now

Scene 3 [Gaia's Lamentation]
Can I kiss you? Tonight 
Can I kiss you? Goodbye 

Scene4 [Circle around the Trees]
We dance beside the moonlight
We dance inside the rain
As the Earth, she closes her eyes now
Through the shadow and the pain

Scene5: [Guardians Reprise]
when I see you through the candle light
The tears and the laughter bind
Big trees are coming down
The crazy man's eyes 
shout, 

Scene 6: [Wrath of Gaia]
And I'm coming down now
I'm coming down now

Scene 7:[Gaia's Lamentation: Earth]
Can I kiss you? Tonight 
Can I kiss you? Goodbye 

Scene 8: [Circle around the Earth]
dance beside the moonlight
dance inside the rain
As the Earth, she closes her eyes now
Through the shadow and the pain

[Scene 9: Trail of Tears: The Wailing Wiccans]
Can I kiss you? Tonight 
Can I kiss you? Goodbye 


The Overstory:

The Overstory won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2019. This novel by Richard Powers explores themes of the interconnectedness of life and the impact of humanity on nature. 

I found the book very powerful as I very much enjoyed the rich prose and the way he could make me see the world in a new way. He created different lenses to glimpse and better understand the hearts of widely different characters. This included the key player of nature herself. In the end, the book is both a beautiful meditation on nature and a call to action, urging readers to reconsider their relationship with the environment. 

My new song's theme was influenced by this novel not in a direct or intentional way but as something that emerged more slowly and organically. I finished this book during my song's build process. Reverberations, echoes and rhythms of the Overstory seem to lace the song lattice like vines on a tree. 

There were no wailing Wiccans in the book but plenty of very passionate earth connected characters. There was also some good cries of grief and pain. I think some of this grief informed my late arriving background vocals in the last chorus. They have a quality of choral witch-like wailing to my ears. I almost discarded them BUT the sound of this background texture grew on me like a fungus over time and really began to anchor my song direction. This was not intentional either until my brain later latched on to it as a means to inspire the final song form and ending.

My next original song, Earth and the Wailing Wiccans, will be officially released to all streaming services on Friday, 16 August 2024!

Thank You for sharing a moment with me.

Meaningful

I am retired and have taken up music again (after 60 years since I last played the classical piano)for my pleasure. It is great to redo the old classics with the modern sounds and electronic instruments of today. I  
   Also Like making my own instrumental tracks with my 
Presonus studio 4 software, a size midi keyboard and the Kross workstation Keyboard.
I am so grateful for the support, encouragement and feedback from the  sound cloud community.
What an awesome experience and way to bring music to the world together with likeminded friends-thank you all.
