Well done song. Nice guitar groove and great harmonic vocals.

Love the feel one this tune! Nice vocals too!

Another beautiful composition & performance.  Cheers.

a good political statement-whether it's here or there

Very clever songwriting Bruce, capturing accurately the vibe a year ago. Love the fantasy band too.

NEW MOON

Sort of an undemocratic approach to saving democracy, don't you think?
******************* 
For this one, I rounded up my fantasy band, the Famous Texas Men Of Note, to perform at the imaginary Seven Sisters Dance Hall, some 40 miles west of Austin, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.  The crowd wasn’t huge that night, but it was plenty raucous.  Needless to say, we brought the house down.  We always do.

LYRICS
Finally bagged the prize,
Event commemorated with a photograph,
A delightful list of crimes,
Got ‘em prancin’ with the lawyers down the primrose path,
The scribes down in the court,
Breathlessly report,
With a glee they can’t contain,

Oh they’re giddy….

Giddy like the rats that swarm the sewage slag,
Giddy like the vultures, feasting on the rotted culture,
That has spawned them from its womb,
And they tell us all how grateful we should be,
Cause they’re doing it to save democracy.
 
Yeah all fortitude & grit,
Our protectors wouldn’t quit,
On this noble quest,
There would be no rest,
Staged sudden raids, drew dossiers,
Tried Russian links, threw kitchen sinks,
To cage the dreaded pest,
Damn the proper form,
They’ve snared Le Bete Orange,
Slam the gavel, bring the charge,

And now they’re giddy…..

Giddy like the buzzards circling o’er their prey,
Giddy like the varmints, chewing on the hated target,
While the judges hold him still,
Giddy like the frantic hawks, flailing with their shrilly squawks,
The fear they just can’t kill,
Damn the coming storm,
Now they’ve booked Le Bete Orange,
Slam the gavel, bring the charge,
Hey, the law may be applied unequally,
But it’s the only way to save democracy.

I beg you Lovely Lady, turn your head away,
Away from the shame, away from the pain,
America, America, how did we let it get this far?
We are your sons, what have we done?
What have we done……….

Ah but giddy doesn’t last, when the vengeance & the wrath,
Shred the piers that bear the load,
No it won’t be so hysterical, when even Heaven’s miracle,
Can’t keep our father’s code, 

Oh but decision day is nigh, & the beast is still alive,
And far too many still believe…..

So arrest the Monster!...show it on TV,
Silence him & anyone who won’t concede,
There’s no time for constitutionality,
When the mission is to save democracy.

Giddy (now with lyrics)

Hey, what can I say? Sometimes it gets rough. But it's still good.

------------------------------------------------------------------

on a summer blanket
in the moonlight
with the beach stones stirring
after midnight

i am ready
and i dare

god you know you’re tired
may you rest now
many ways to try it
lay the load down

i am ready (good to go)
i am there (going)

hey hey hey who
checkout avenue

on tomorrow’s bastion
once immortal
now you sense the ending
as a portal

i am ready
honeybear
i’m not waiting 
i am there

i am ready (here’s my ride)
and i dare (good night)
we’re not waiting (good to go)
we are there

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-organ
This song is the first The Eclectic Collective has done with Mark, and we all had a great time making it with him. This song started with Mark, who is a bass player's bass player, giving his raw bass track to Ken, who brought it to the group. Ken laid down his exciting drums to match Mark's bass line before anything else happened, though. Once we had a rhythm section, JJ laid down his dancing electric piano. Once that was in place, Josh laid down the organ. Then it was time for the guitars, played electrifyingly by both Tez and Stephen. Tez plays throughout most of the song, and Stephen added his part towards the end. Stephen also mixed this for us expertly, as always. If you have a beverage in your hands, you might want to set it down. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Esophagus Metamorphosis- - The Eclectic Collective

I'm not sure which is more maddening these days — the situation in Ukraine or the situation in America. Hell, the middle east is also crap. I'm just mad at it all. 

The air-raid siren was recorded in Kyiv by vkvych (freesound.org).

(This tune is downloadable.)
I compose in MIDI, using Logic Pro and sound libraries from EastWest.

Ils ont la part du lion , les plus malins
Ils écrasent le monde les plus malsains
Ils imposent leur pouvoir avec des lois d'airain
Ils savent toujours vous briser les reins
Des gens faibles et peureux
Des gens qui sont si malheureux
Qui pensent qu'il leur faut un père
Mais ce père est en fait un pervers
Alors, le pouvoir laisse loin derrière
La justice et l'amour pour la guerre
Mourir pour eux mais dans l'ordre c'est important
Les gens donneront tous leurs enfants
Un jour après tous les cimetières
Et après toutes ces mises en bière
Les survivants prieront les mères
De pardonner toutes ces guerres

My baby told me something bout the way that you move 
Sly shape shifter out on the loose 
Everybody watching what you gonna do 
Fell to the fist of a luney tune 

Caught you by the tail but you bit off clean 
Dodged another bullet, Killin spree 
Everybody moving with a bottle or three 
Found me on the levee now let me be 


Let me be (x4)


And it real 
Ain't it real 
When you feel this way 
ain't it real 
ain't it real
Cant you take it appreciate it

Now I'm on the tail end of destiny 
Found what I needed what I came to see
The people behind the mystery 
Come out n get it go make the scene 

Chose another pose for the magazine 
Keepin my cool girl keepin it clean 
Frowning n growling underneath 
Keeping the judge proud n mean 

Hmm 
You gonna get it 
You gonna get it
