This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.
Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning.
The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.
Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.
This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind
there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind
how could I have been so blind?
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me
it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea
the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home
the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown
on their own
“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play”
our leaders assured us we’d never go poor
and nobody questions the truth anymore
but what did we do it all for?
Our science sustains us like fine works of art
but are we closer together or farther apart?
we’re each on an island alone on the sea
the ocean between us expands rapidly
is this where we wanted to be?
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me
it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be
machines tried to help us but something went wrong
the future we wanted was here all along
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind
there were words left unsaid…

Cruising on my couch
Gazing through the sky
Floating in my home
By the by and by

Television’s on
A flick from 39
Called tell your children
It’s All about crime

Jimmy got stoned today
Ran over Mr Krebs 
Jimmy got stoned today
Ran over Mr Krebs 

Asked jack for a smoke
Jack said you bet
Jack offered him
A special cigarette

48 miles per hour
Screeching thru the town
Didn’t mind the pedestrians 
Knocked the old man down

Mary lied to the cops
So Jimmy got away
Mary lied to the cops
So Jimmy got away

The long-period Lemmon Comet, said to appear only once in a thousand years, can be seen around this time.
To commemorate this rare event, I’d like to release this song I created last year in collaboration with Lemon Muzik.
https://on.soundcloud.com/5qMeitmIGeXml9bkD4
The song’s structure, chord pads, lo-fi guitar, and beat were all created by Lemon,  I added my own arrangement and mixed to them.
The vocals are also by Lemon.
Although the mix is a bit rough, I really love this version. I had such a great time making it together with Lemon, and I feel that sense of joy is reflected in the sound itself.
I truly hope we can collaborate again someday.
Please give it a listen!

Running Day

If the sky could crack Would it spill its heart 
If the stars could sing Would they play a part 
In a world where the echoes don't fade 
Would you hear my voice Or would it be delayed 

If I told you Would you stay 
If I showed you Would you sway 
If love's a game Let's press play 
If Oh if It’s all today

If the ground could shift Would it hold us still 
If the oceans whispered Would you feel the thrill
 In a life that spins like a record too fast 
Would we slow it down or make it last 

Questions tumble like falling dice 
Every answer comes at a price 

If I told you Would you stay 
If I showed you Would you sway 
If love's a game Let's press play 
If Oh if It’s all today 

If the wind could write It’d spell your name 
If the sun could blush It’d feel the same 
Every "if" is a door Every door's a chance 
Would you walk with me Would you take the dance

In a concert of Jo Quail with God Is An Astronaut I felt the need to find ways to make a cello sound different,
