“Inspired by Graham Cochrane of Recording Revolution recording a song using only his iPhone; I decided to do the same. This is about social commentary lyrics of yesteryear and how those words are seemingly as relevant today as they were at that time in history.” 

Up all night 
Thinking about Earth in space
Been listening to Tracy Chapman from 1988
Has it ever changed?
The words resonate
Earth feels the same, are we a spinning ball of hate, yeah? 

Will things ever change?
Destined to stay the same?
Smiling through the pain
Is it time for change, yeah? 

I wonder, I wonder what’s going on? 
I’m thinking, I’m thinking it can’t be long
There’s got to be a voice of reasoning 
There’s got to be a change of season and…

IS IT TIME FOR CHANGE, YEAH?

On a personal note, working with this group of fine fellows is joy and a continuing learning experience for me. The original basic piano melody here has gone through several 're-births', appearing in a number of my other songs. But this version with the EC gang is definitely the most... recent   ;)
Kidding. 
It's actually like a totally different piece of music, where these guys flexed their masterful musical muscles to take it to a place I would never have imagined on my own! Fantastic job guys, really. 

These are a couple other versions based on the main piano theme:

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark—electric piano, composition
Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and primary vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –organ, synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion, arrangement, production, mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass guitar, lap steel 
This was brought to us by Mark, who had written it a while back, but wanted to dust it off and give the Eclectic Collective a shot at it. He recorded it with a keen eye toward collaboration with an electric piano synth with heavy stereo tremolo. We just recently found Mark, and he has proven to be a very creative, passionate, and easy to work with collaborator—all the good things. 
  Mark set it loose to Josh first, who of course got Ken in on the act before anything else could transpire. After Ken added his wildly creative, very skillful drum beat, Josh was able to come up with a suitable bass line. He also came up with the lap slide part you hear with the heavy tremolo. Then they turned it over to Stephen, who added a very psychedelic, electrifying solo at the end. Also, JJ set upon it with a very hooky organ. 
  Last, but certainly not least, MD came up with the lyrics, which are a metaphor for trying to break into the business of music, and delivered his fiery vocals, too. Then, we all realized that the song wasn't long enough for our ambitions, so Ken came up with an idea for the arrangement, and lengthened the song to suit our needs. He also very ably mixed and produced this one for us. We had a lot of fun working on Mark's tune. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Lyrics (by The Mysterious Decibel):
 
Sometimes when we shout they can't hear us under the flow
Of the rapids

I'm screaming from the other side of the river
A shot to try
can you hear me?
I'm jumping in and swimming straight to you

All I can say is I tried
I tried and I met my own waterfall
A short way down
Did I try hard enough?
Cuz I hit the rocks below just hard enough
To hibernate me without a care
It's all just business and never fair

Away With The Rapids (with The Eclectic Collective)

All of the people throughout history
Who used the earth so thoughtlessly
Now there’s not much left for us at all
Cause our shortsighted ancestors dropped the ball

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

The old people speak with a gleam in their eyes
Of childhood memories and clear crystal skies
They say that once the sky was blue
And children played upon the land

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time 

Our ancestors were shortsighted and now their children pay
Awakening each morning to greet the tainted day
Gazing out across an endless barren plain
No more amber waves of grain

If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time

If We Could Turn Back Time

I release again this reggae music with a faster tempo and a better mix.
Thank you for listening !

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..
