Project RESIDUE (As the Crow Flies)

‘Will we be fools again’ 
Written in September 2023 after standing in a queue in Starbucks, looking out at a wet, dirty and declining High Street.  I had been been watching the people in town, including one particular couple locked into an intense conversation under an umbrella. They prompted the story in the song. 

I wanted the backing to be sparser and more guitar led to give it an edge. I also wanted the instrumental in the middle to have a woozy, emotional feel to it. 

It’s a song about everyday people ‘stuff’ against a backdrop of a slowly deteriorating townscape. It couldn’t be slick (and I couldn’t be no matter how hard I try!) I hope you enjoy the song. Best with headphones! 

Take care

James (lyrics below) 

Will we be fools again? 

The chewing gum looks like leopard spots on the pavements in the rain
And litter blocks the drains again

Recklessly, we agreed to meet, after these silent years
Now there’s excitement and fear!

Behind the wall, by the social club, an old sanctuary for lovers 

We’ll talk, we’ll laugh 
and then I’ll start to think 
will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again? 

Graffiti on the empty shops, can our town survive?
And meanwhile we destabilise our lives! 

What fools we’d be, to lift the lid and let those lies escape 
Just think of all the hearts we’d break 

But we’re in your car, the radio’s on, as we unwrap the past! 

That smile! Those eyes!
Make me start to think
Will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again?

I’m aware, yeah I’m aware, 
I know where my fault lines are
And you’re spread right across them!  
Right across them.. yeah!

Instrumental 

Yes, we’ll talk, we’ll laugh
You know I’ll start to think
Let us be fools again
Please let us be fools again

Yes, we’ll touch, we’ll kiss
And then the path is clear
For us fools again
Let us be fools again….please, please..

James Whiteman September 2023

Will we be fools again?

CITY NIGHTS

This is a mellow jazz infused tune for those walking late night in the streets of the city comtemplating life ...

I got inspired listening to the latest album by Nir Felder, a little nod to him. ;)

Enjoy! -Dan

BLUR OBJETIVE

Composition created in December 2022 and published in July 2024.

I finally decided to publish it, after almost two years, although I composed it for a guitarist who did not finally accept the collaboration.

I simulated a guitar with the options that my programs and my iPad give me and I thought I could offer something motivating.... but I couldn't.

Even so, I am not dissatisfied with the result and that is why I share it.

Beautyful Ghost

This Life Is Short (G. Di Nunno)

Wasting life and know the cost is steep
A slave to habits, sinking deep
Dust collected, dreams and plans were made
Forgot the spots they last were laid.

This life is short
Catch the solid blow
Throwing time away
Soon you come to know.
This life is short
Littered landscapes swell
What you can't get back
Drips inside a well.

Seems things are the same every day
The boring routine, all are alike
What would you do if you had your way?
Could you name them or apply them?

Sit in traffic on your way to work
Dinner, clean-up, television, sleep
Weekend catch-up, then the Sunday blues
Asking yourself is this all there is?

Spoken part:
Seneca said: "it's not that we have a short time to live,
but that we waste a lot of it."
Am I going through an existential crisis?
I feel I'm wasting time
Wasting
Life is so short
Only so much time
A crisis I must defeat
I want to go on.

Want to sit and watch the world unfold
And to do all those things that we used to do
Want to do much more before we're old
A different outlook, better view. 

This life is short
Grabbing all that's left
Sending off the stress
Clean the mental mess.
This life is short
Pull the joy from past
Place it on the now
Living all that's left.

#6. This Life Is Short

Cast of Characters:

Roy Roy – @user-967672349 – Roy – foundational guitar, composition, and arrangement

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, synth sax, synth strings, synth brass, production, and mix

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– whah guitar, and mastering

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

This song began as a well developed, funky disco idea Roy came up with on his guitar, and shared with JJ. JJ added a wonderfully complex orchestration of various keys (including the sax solo you hear towards the end. JJ invited Stephen first, who came up with the funky ass wah guitar that also carries the groove.

Of course, JJ realized that this is a disco song, so he enlisted Ken to come up with one of his awesome beats to carry it along.

JJ had a rudimentary bass line that he played himself, but decided to get Josh to do the honors instead. So, Josh came up with a totally new bass line designed to shake your cheeks.

Once it was in the can, we decided to ask JJ to mix it for us. This is a first time JJ has mixed a song for The Eclectic Collective, and we were all impressed with his work. Stephen mastered it, as he is a master masterer.

We're all really impressed and delighted with the experience of working with Roy and his music. He is a very talented artist with a lot of great music to check out on his page, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it, and that it makes you shake your hips while you're doing the dishes, too!

Lyrics:
Picture for a minute the possibility
Livin' n' givin' n' winnin' n' gettin' so free
Witness beginnings and endings n' lettin' thangs be
Let the evil of humanity plunge deep in the sea
Get the noose let it wither away
And today you n' I both know what to say
In the face of destruction that's life reduction
It has only solely one function
Target and attack wack devil on a horseback
Bout to get God-smacked yea how ya like that
Well let the Good Lord carry on
Yea bout' to crush New Babylon
And every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away
Verse 2
Picture for a minute the insanity
The depth of calamity coupled with vanity
Lost in a selfie sea ain't nobody helpin' me
That's the way it's gotta be gotta seek deep relief
And I find it right here
Find on the inside that my mind gets live
I ain't never gotta hide only hold it down n' ride
Seein' God pick a side pick a fight wrong or right
Forget the hype flashy lights fake people not my type
Got a team and we're tight ILP yea that's right
Another dope track we know you feel that
Put your fist in the air time to hit back
Cuz every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away
