Impressed with the nu jazz avant-gardeness that remains coherent, melodic and surprising.

The painting is ‘The Course of Empire’ by Thomas Cole (1801 – 1848).

Say a prayer and don’t despair about the cost of living crisis 
Cos life’s not fair and they don’t care about the rising prices 
The millionaires and billionaires wield their wicked powers
they own the shares, they don’t pay the fares, they’re not working longer hours

  They contaminate, discriminate, and revel in their sleaze 
  the permafrost is lost, but we still have the wage freeze 

the bankers are all bigots, experts in exploitation 
oil tankers and their frigates reeking eco-devastation
while we reimburse the nurses with the joy of food banks 
and the curse of empty purses and our hollow huge thanks

  You’ll find that it’s impossible to get paid any less
  can’t save no money saving lives for the NHS

The CEOs who freely chose to bolster their careers 
They’re mosquitoes in tuxedos bloodsucking profiteers 
who smoke cigars with glowing hearts, toasting market forces  
They’re Oligarchs, they’re greedy sharks, they’re feeding on the corpses

  The ambulance abandoned us, so now we need a hearse
  Yes the times they are a-changing… but they’re changing for the worse

I blame the vloggers and the bloggers, I don’t “like” and I don’t “subscribe”
All that scrolling and a trolling, through soundbites and diatribes
and we fixate on the clickbait that seems to be hell-bent 
on dictating that the content fuels our discontent 

        All the species being ghosted, wiped out like dinosaurs
        While we’re busy being offended, and fighting culture wars

Shopaholic fashionistas with their selfies and their memes 
And reams of influencers beat us senseless by extremes
it’s a trash-bag full of hashtags, rubbish flowing in our streams
algorithms causing schisms and addiction to our screens

        We’re the masters of our destiny, but it isn’t as it seems 
        Who’s pushing who’s buttons? Are we slaves to the machines?

Narcissistic mystics with their conspiracy theories
Going viral in a spiral of Netflix mini series
And woeful social media, where profiles are a deepfake
It’s a form of schizophrenia, like a hollywood remake

      We make a virtue of our vanity, embracing the absurd
      with virtual reality, to replace the real world

Demo Songs 1994

Miles to Go 1994 (remastered)

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition and foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar solos choruses, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth, and intro composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar solo in the verses
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass guitar
 
This song began with Artur composing the entire skeleton, and recording it against a mechanical beat. He presented it to Josh, who immediately shared it with The Eclectic Collective. Ken first replaced the metronomic beat with a real, rocking drum sound. Josh promptly added his fretless bass to it, to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, JJ added his electric piano magic, including a short solo, to the stew. Once the rhythmic framework was laid down, Stephen got to work on the choruses, coming up with solid, melodic lines for them. Then, it was Tez's turn to light up the verses with his monster guitar. When we had it mostly completed, Artur asked JJ if he'd do an intro to it. JJ came up with the whole psychedelic intro in response. 

  When it was finished, we asked Stephen if he would mix it for us, which he did with his typical mastery and attention to detail. We all really enjoy making music with Artur, and have been fans of and collaborators with him for almost a year now. If you like the sound of this song, you would do well to go check out his page, too, as he has a bunch of gems on there. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Super 8

Super 8 (Original M!X)

it's day time,    i'm happy,    free again.
the daylight,   is lovely,    no more pain.
out here,    i'm dancing,    sun or rain.

chorus:         then the sun goes down.
                    darkness does surround.
                    hide do not be found.
                    hush don't make a sound.

the summer,    i love it,    the long long days.
my friends come,    to play,    but no one stays.
then daylight,    starts fading,    they're on their way.

chorus

bridge spoken:    every night i hide in this cupboard, afraid to make a sound.
                             sometimes i hear them, they're all around.

they ask me,    why don't you,    escape this place.
there's a man,    he's scary,    with a hideous face.
if i run,    he's faster,    he starts to chase.

chorus

i'm waiting,    for my father,    to return one day.
i'll ask him,    to help me,    to take me away.
until then,    i can only,    hope and pray.

chorus x 2

Fear of ghosts part two (no escape)

Calm Sea

lyrics:
Just another second before i blow you away
just another hype before this decadence
U r about to be eliminated beyond this fence
u know u don't have any decent defense

That's the condition shit
where all the people spit
the gratefulness that should exist
but got lost from people's fist


Just another war about to begin
that's the people's choice gathered on one regime
U r about to be eliminated beyond this world
u know u don't have any decent kind of word

Now the history repeats itself
just another book from the shelf
just another hit before this demolition begins.

(p) & (c), 2024.

Interlude

Lyrics

🧘🏽‍♂️Use the Force🧘🏽‍♂️

Muted
Thats most everyone else
Is it me?
Or the message I sent...
It's all good
Greater
No hood
No saviour
Oh well!
Stay wrapped in peaceful flavour

 🧘🏽‍♂️Use The Force🧘🏽‍♂️

Booted
My ideas have no shelf
Is it me?
Or the message I dealt...
It's all good
Greater
No FUD
No halo
Oh well
This day unwraps hooded musical cats

🧘🏽‍♂️Use The Force🧘🏽‍♂️



File Updated 10:48 GMT: Yoda's Purr and Hi added from previous upload. Jedi Cat power now. Who said Cat's cant sing haha

File Updated 10:13 GMT: The Force vocal rhythm solidified and more Ben Kenobi like force in their

File Updated 09:43 GMT: Breathing / The Force rhythm in correctly now and I think the vocal is now the force it needs to be. Weirdly powerful feelings building that vox


Take 3 - Ok for the previous upload of The Force I built from scratch and left the phone recording (Jam #1) on it's own unused.

This version I filled over the phone recording (Jam #1 which is human timed) and did not extend to the animal sound section. Nicely cool and different result I think.

It also drew out somehting that should work well through all versions and that's the lyric whispered, The Force, and I tied that to obvious breaths which seems to work well to project the one thing that matters to everyone. Life! Have to check if its accentuated enough or not but should end up a really cool vocal rhythm throughout...

🫁 The Force
🫀 The Force
🫁 The Force
🫀 The Force


It's gonna be exciting adding the animal bits to this version haha. Bahhhhhh 🐑
