And so to a perhaps slightly different outcome of a number of considerations we discussed when we made "Mother Syria" ten months ago.....

Where was the cradle of life for humanity?
What was the first language?
What was the first written language?
What did the first cultures look like?
Did they arise in the East...or West....or in the middle of....Hmmm.

Yes, scholars dispute that.
And it is likely to continue like this, since no absolute proof has been presented, only assumptions, interpretations, etc. of the small findings made of previous existences of human presence.
Yes, technology and research possibilities are constantly developing, but it is probably quite far-fetched that we will finally get a complete and credible account.

I personally believe that life started in many different places on our planet, and at about the same time, when some important factors needed to be fulfilled, such as where the conditions and surroundings were generally favorable for human life to sprout, grow and develop, on a planet in constant development. In a time course that is almost incomprehensible, and which has been influenced by factors in the space we are in, which we do not really understand either.

So this little piece of music doesn't give you any answers, but perhaps gives you a moment of contemplation on the questions. ;)

Don’t Even Bother, You’re Dead Inside! Is a track that hits hard with thumping brutal breakup anthem with spoken-word flows and a distorted voicemail outro that leaves you reeling.

Don’t Even Bother

A stripped down version of this song with just me and my guitar
And here’s a link to a more highly produced version https://on.soundcloud.com/ilKgH0ZJjkQdhPEuk7

Verse 1
I’ve never seen the Great Wall; I’ve never been to Japan.
I’ve never seen the Eiffel Tower; it’s not part of my bucket list plan.
I don’t need to stand in line for two hours so I can see the Mona Lisa for thirty seconds.
I can see the same thing at home for free on my computer.

Chorus
I’m perfectly content to stay right here,
Living in the same place year after year.
I’m perfectly content to stay right here.

Verse 2
I don’t want to sit in a pressurized cylinder, with only a bag of peanuts to eat,
As I’m elbowed by a stranger who decides he wants to ventilate his feet.
I don’t want to go to a tourist trap and hang out with a bunch of ugly Americans.
If I want to see ugly Americans, all I’ve gotta do is step outside.

Chorus (Repeat)
I’m perfectly content to stay right here,
Living in the same place year after year.
I’m perfectly content to stay right here.

Bridge
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.

Verse 3
Waking up early, rushing to the airport, to get on a crowded flight,
Trying to find space in the overhead bin and not get in a fight.
When you get there, you can’t drink the water, and the alcohol can make you go blind.
That doesn’t sound like the optimal place for a person to unwind.
You have to ration your underwear, or you’ll have to wear it inside out again for a second time.
You have to keep your money in a belt or you could be the victim of a pickpocketing crime.

Bridge (Repeat)
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.

Firstly thanks to all involved in the Eclectic Collective a fine bunch of musicians & just mighty good people. 
This track is the second I’ve have done with EC.
This as been evolved from the original acoustic sketch I did and the vocal is the original sketch take.
I really like what the guys have done on every aspect of the song.
Special thanks to Ken (The Twist )from across the pond for driving it along since the summer.
The EC have a real cool vibe going, releasing regularly and constantly working on a whole host of tracks simultaneously. 
The song refers to the current state of the world today and my experiences and observations. 
I like being brave and not precious about the music I create and especially handing it over to other musicians who can make it theirs also.

When Did The World Stop Listening 

V1
Im drawing the conclusion that 
Im just being polite 
And questioning myself is it me our are they right
I’m feeling a little angry hope it’s not  out of spite 
Is just a reaction to this uncomfortable  night 

Chorus 
When did the world stop listening 
When did the world stop listening 


V2
As we compete for space to try & speak
Everyone’s on journey on a bus to shit creek
With condescending story’s of there  bad & awesome week
And I’m working on finding just a better style of  technique 

Chorus 

V3
I avoid catching that struggle bus 
Don’t wanna be part of my problem and be misunderstood 
What are you looking at is there something you wanna discuss 
I push his   face up the window cause I’ve had enough 

Finish on a chorus

When Did The World Stop Listening ! -Eclectic Collective

La Bacchiana brasileira n°5 de Heitor Villa Lobos  a été et reste pour moi un chef d'œuvre d'une puissance émotionnelle inouie. Aussi, quand je m'aperçus que la mélodie de mon dernier morceau commençait inconsciemment par les deux premiers accords de la mélodie de Villa Lobos, j'avais deux solutions : soit mettre à la poubelle mon petit morceau ( dont le degré de valeur musicale face à la musique de ce génie est à peu près l'équivalent de la taille d'une puce par rapport à celle d'une baleine à bosse), soit me dire qu'après tout, si cela donnait envie à l'auditeur de découvrir ou de réécouter l'œuvre de Villa Lobos, cela ne serait peut-être pas peine perdue. Aussi pour rendre à César - en l'occurrence au musicien brésilien - ce qui lui est dû, j'ai conservé le morceau, mais l'ai encadré d'une référence directe à la mélodie de la Bacchiana, un peu simplifiée pour pouvoir être jouée au piano.

This is a song about an escalated night of Christmas drinking.
Starring: You and me and a  Mall Santa Claus ( a Harry Dean Stanton type character).
This is probably the most depressing Christmas song ever.
Happy Holidays!

Lyrics:
Yeah (well) anyways...
I guess I'm your guardian angel
I should  wish you good luck
I've been sent by"The Entities" above
To get you out of your Christmas rut

I went down to the bar
I know that you couldn't go far
You've let yourself go soft
I gave my better judgment the day off
I'm full of Christmas cheer
I've got 10 cases of imported beer
I'm moving out tables and chairs
We're gonna have a dance floor here!

I've been writing Christmas songs
I hope you'll all dance along
and sing along
I'm spinning records of Metal and Motown songs
Songs for everyone
Even if you feel like you don't belong

Oh, when I was a child
My mother took me to go see Santa Claus
At a broken down mall
With a broken down Santa Claus
And I said:
"Santa Claus, what can I do to have everything I want in my life?"
And Santa Claus said to me:
"Get your head out of your own asshole Son"

Ahhh yeah
Get out of your Christmas rut!
I've got some dynamite in my trunk
Let's get you out of your Christmas rut!
I've got a present for you
It's a box of old dumb luck

There goes Santa Claus
Walking home from the Mall
I think he's got a bottle of Ripple in him
Go, Santa Claus, go!!!

Ahhhh, come on
Get out of your Christmas rut!
We're drinking with a Mall Santa Claus
That's (Huh?) down on his luck
C'mon, get out of that Christmas rut!
How about loaning your guardian angel
About $150 bucks?

(Holiday Bell Ringer: )
The holidays  
It's about family
And friends
And peace on earth

(Drunk Santa comment:) 
Yeah?!?! (ha)" Peace on Earth"
More like 'piece of the action' if you ask me!

Lucy Clip: "You're in a rut! A big fat rut!
"I think we're gonna need some good Attorneys"
Get out of your Christmas rut!

Christmas Rut!

Cast of Characters:

Paul Young — PRS SE semi-hollow body electric guitar

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Upright double bass

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

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Earl Scruggs custom banjo, production, mix, and mastering

This is a song that Josh and his cousin Paul came up with on Thanksgiving night, after everyone went to bed. They were working on a much longer composition, but got stuck in the jam after looking at each other and wordlessly saying, "this is the magic, stick with it." We were playing an electric guitar and a stand-up bass to a looper disco beat when we recorded this. So, of course, Josh asked Ken if he'd add some real drums, which he did as though he were in the room jamming with us. Josh and Stephen also had the idea to add some banjo in here, which Stephen did like the excellent musician he is. He also managed to mix this live recording hybrid with exceptional skill. 

  This is an example of two musicians who are intimately familiar with each other, and each other's playing and sensibilities, accompanied by two other musicians who have become nearly as familiar over the past few years. Happy belated Turkey Day to everyone. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
