Almost Halloween again, but I'll say it one more time anyway.
We have one planet, where we all live. No one can escape anywhere from this tiny speck of dust in the universe.

Then it is so incredibly unimaginable that people in so many countries renounce their dignity and their human rights to pay tribute to tyrannical leaders. Leaders who commit virtually every crime that can be committed against people in their own homeland.
They have trampled, oppressed, imprisoned, forcibly relocated, put in re-education camps, imposed coercive laws, tortured and even murdered.
All just to maintain power and remain with their arms in the meat pots, in some kind of smug "I am god" madness that trumps everything. And some of them even see themselves as the rulers of the world in their delusion.
It's laughable if it weren't for the deep seriousness and suffering it causes many people in many parts of our world.

Throughout history, we have seen one lunatic crazier than the other rise to power through these completely absurd behaviors towards his people. And I cannot for the life of me understand how it can go on and on and on.
Is humanity so stupid? Obviously. Including myself according to the wishes I express here below.

I sometimes wish that all these ghosts from both history and the present revolted. And in a tidal wave, washed out all these elements and ensured that human evolution took a big step forward so that in the near future we could at least be called civilized.

But maybe that's the problem. That we who want to change use the wrong weapons, and thus fall prey to war and violence instead of development.
If there were more of us who used the pen as a sword, who used the guitar as a machine gun, drums and cymbals as artillery. Wrote, sang at the top of our lungs and told about the reality around us........

Well, many famous musicians have already done it, throughout the ages. Did it help?............ Well.....not so much........

So if we.....mumble........hmmm.......mumble.....hmm....mumble.......

Wha...what did you say?.........Oh crap, not another lunatic,..... again..........

I SEE GHOSTS! AROUND ME! EVERYWHERE!

isn't that a bit strange...;)

Seagull - Ghosts

The Instigator

In The Shadow Of A Gray Idol

Written @ 19 years… I’m now 53.., still seems relevant!Hope you enjoy!! If you “ know”… you will know the lyrics I lifted from various places!!😎

Long ago, it was long ago
I promised you in a letter
I would always be your comforter and friend 
Now the times they’re changing 
And it’s time that I made a change 
Cause you know that the end it’s coming soon 

Chorus 
￼ If it wasn’t so I would’ve told you
Things will happen. All just the way they’re planned. 
If you yourself, find yourself
Found that you’ve hit the bottom 
There’s always more room at the top 

Before the Son has risen 
When the sky burns a fiery red
You’ll see, many will see,see and fear

I had a conversation 
And it was all accounted for 
All of this, this will pass away 
And what’s more?
What’s knocking at your door? 

Such a common sight to see
What we’ve all been waiting for
Another rhyme without a reason
Another scheme…￼
But don’t let this elude you 
Don’t ever let it slip away 
I promise you I am coming back again 

Long ago, it was long ago in a room at the top 

Take this message to my love 
My love, love of my life 
All I have it’s all I have and it’s yours for free

Cast of characters:
Stoner Jazz--@user-911083679—Jeff—vocals, lyrics, and original stem

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–overdriven guitar, production, and mix

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

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric clean/effects guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass and synth           

This song orignated with Jeff, who wrote a poem, which he set to a beat and a key with some very cool vocal processing. He sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth lines. I had to, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. Ken came up with a solid, distinct beat, based loosely on my first take. I then redid my bass line to match up with Ken's drums, which is the way they seem to work best, sometimes going back and forth like that several times until they're locked in. Then, Tez and Stephen each added very distinct, supportive guitar tracks to fill it in. Tez comes through with the very Strat sounding bells ringing throughout. Stephen really shines with his textural tremolo playing throughout, as well as the rocking end. He also produced and mixed it expertly, as always. 

  This is the first time the Eclectic Collective has collaborated with Jeff, although both Josh and especially Stephen (as part of the band, The Smoking Trout) have made music with him before. We really enjoyed making a song based on his vocals, and Jeff is a welcome addition to our sound anytime. We all really enjoyed making this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it.

Lyrics:


Naked Shoulders
l like the way the sun lights up
the naked shoulders of the Early morning
ln the Desert where we met-
ln the shack down by the muddy
where you said you waited
while l rambled on about the time
Youth and Sex and Beauty-
When the Real Revolution was the Music-

Slitting quietly and thinking
while the melancholy has lt's moment
letting longing linger longer than lt should
Took a little tumble ln the Bumble
when l got older
always just a little lucky
ln the middle of disaster
no longer sure lf l'm the spell or l'm the caster
only knowing that my feet are made of plaster-

Even though lt's getting late, even though lt's getting late
l'm still standing at the gate
hoping for a bit hoping for a little bite hoping for a little slice of Nlrvana Nlrvana-

Verse 2
You know lt's harder than lt looks
even though l read some books
l'm ln love with my Delusion, Naked and inviting
lt whispers sweetly ln my head and says
You're gonna live Forever, even though l'm almost dead-

Everything that came before
comes knocking at the back-stage door
demanding parts ln the production of the play-

What makes you think you have a choice?
The Director Said
you don't have to memorize the dialogue
the script ls ln your Head--

Naked Shoulders (Stonerjazz with Eclectic Collective)

all vocals by clive hawkins:

can you believe, can you believe,
what you cannot see.
do you believe? do you believe?
love can set you free.

bridge:  love's a mystery........never kind to me.

Do you believe?

Welcome to The Water Planet Project-Part 3 of our trilogy about one of our most endangered resources, fresh water. In this part we consider the relative present. Certainly mankind has accomplished many good things during the course of human development.  But in his ignorance, greed, hunger for power, etc., also many bad ones. And it's all the bad ones that give us an increasingly broken planet and world to live in, where fresh water reserves are quickly running out, or becoming polluted all over the world.
We are not judging anyone, we are just asking you to think for a moment, because what we have done and continue to do to our planet and each other, is actually unsustainable for our future generations. We must ask; "how will the lack of vital fresh water in a few decades affect humanity's possibility of continued existence?"  Part 3 ponders the painful answer to that question.

For the best experience, see the visualization of our story, which you can find here: www.youtube.com/user/wcifarout.

Early instrumental version Words written,just need recording 
"Have you ever wondered how
how birds fly?
When their wings beat down
How they stay in the sky
Or they hover around
They don't fall to the ground.......

Ever wondered how

We are spiritual beings wrapped within a physical body.Our Soul is Eternal and wants to go home.Our bodies are temporary and will return to the earth,but the ego wants us to stay here,in the world of glitter......
.....some of the words to my songs are shown on  the main profile page,and will be recorded and uploaded(I work slowly)-they are all inspired in me from the sayings of Sufi Master Sheikh Nazim,His inspirations from Heavenly Stations.....
Please leave a comment whether good or bad....just be honest, thanks.

Ever wondered how
