Zhao Gao（?〜207B.C.）

Zhao Gao was a eunuch from the Qin state. From a young age, he served Ying Zheng, the future First Emperor, but his origins are unknown.

He was highly trusted by Ying Zheng and even served as the tutor for his youngest son, Hu Hai.

However, when Ying Zheng died, he changed his will and made Hu Hai the emperor, plotting to usurp the country.

He used Hu Hai as his puppet and wiped out all resistance. Even Li Si was no exception to him.

The Qin Dynasty unified China at the cost of many lives, but due to the misrule of Zhao Gao, it continued to fall into ruin.

　　　　　　　　　赵高

赵高是秦国的一个宦官。他从小就侍奉未来的始皇帝嬴政，但他的来历不明。

他深受嬴政的信任，甚至担任他的小儿子胡亥的家庭教师。

然而嬴政死后，却改变遗嘱，立胡亥为皇帝，密谋篡位。

他以胡亥为傀儡，消灭了一切反抗。就连李斯对他来说也不例外。

秦朝以牺牲许多人的生命为代价统一了中国，但由于赵高的暴政，秦朝不断走向灭亡。

Fresh from the portal ⭕️ of the true new year (March 21st), as we flick the switch and jump into action this Spring, when the season of Aries lights us up, holding the fiery energy from the year of the Dragon, we present to you: FIRENIGHT! 🔥🔥🔥.

Post isolation, the time of recharging, renewal and the deconstruction of our lives during Winter surrender to the FIRENIGHT. Allow the new World to takes us on the path of rebirth, resurrection and awakening.
There is always more to unveil and experience when we are able to break free from the limitations held by a previous version of ourselves and a previous world we all built.
How do we move through these walls ?
You burn it all down, baby! 🔥🔥🔥. 
(To be continued....)

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 

  Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 

  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.

  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.

  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you feeling about all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A simple woweluja
Simple halleluja

I keep up with all the latest health and fitness trends every single day
I’m trying really hard to do my best to keep the aging process at bay
Sometimes I get overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice
Taking a break from all this this healthy stuff sure would be nice
I’m buttoned down a bit too tight
I really want to take a bite
Of something that’s not right
And one day I just might
I try to make good food choices when I shop at the grocery store
When I go to a friend’s house I drink one beer, even though I want to drink more
I try to get regular exercise and keep my weight under control
I try not to turn up the volume when I listen to rock and roll
I’m buttoned down a bit too tight
I really want to take a bite
Of something that’s not right
And one day I just might
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream

When you’re living a life of self deprivation
Sometimes you’ve gotta take a little break
Sometimes you gotta put down the celery and have a slice of cake
Sometimes you just gotta let down your hair
Even if you don’t have very much left up on top of there
I’m buttoned down a bit too tight
I really want to take a bite
Of something that’s not right
And one day I just might
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream

Buttoned Down A Bit Too Tight
