Whiskey Blues With No Name- ft GBH

A rainbow perched on a wire, like notes on a staff.

A RAINBOW ON A WIRE

Encounter 743 is a brand new synthpop duo from England, delivered to you by the creative mind behind Eros Attacks. The band's first release will be in autumn 2023 and will be a combination of rich, energetic synths and silky female vocals.

In the meantime, here's a teaser of some of the instrumental work that will be featuring on the band's debut album.

7th Heavenly day天国みたいな日を見上げて  

I’m trapped in the ice of rule

The ice is like a trackway
Rain is melting the ice of me away
Rain is embracing me

The ice is becoming sparkle water
The ice is becoming sparkle water
The ice is becoming sparkle water
The ice is becoming sparkle water

Look up above the 7th Heavenly day
Look up above the 7th Heavenly day

Old rules are on the ground
It’s so faraway
Old rules are on the ground
It’s so faraway

Look up above the 7th Heavenly day
Look up above the 7th Heavenly day

Rain is melting the ice of me away
Rain is melting the ice of me away
Rain is melting the ice of me away

私は囚われている
ルールの氷に
古い街道の様な氷だ
雨は私の氷を溶かしてくれる
雨が私を優しく包んでいる
氷はキラキラした水になっている
７番目よりもっと上の天国な日を見上げて見てよ
古いルールが地面に落ちている
とても遠くに

7th Heavenly Day (Feat. Khan)

I've felt inspired by some of the great live performances on SoundCloud recently, and I was working on a track that I ended up overcooking. So I thought I'd share a nice simple one mic recording instead, just me, guitar and a sleeping dog. Also added this one to my One mic recordings playlist on my profile.

Thanks for listening and inspiring as always greatly appreciated.

lyrics

You made a vow to try to bring me down
worked for about an hour or two
quit pushing pulling me around
been a little while I'll figure out what I can do

nothing comes from hate they say
nothing much I know
but I'm ploughing my own fields to today
sitting back I'm gonna watch them grow

up through the sky
up through the sky

dawn it breaks
birdsong please sing me something new
don't follow the road
they lay down in front of you

march out a beat to your own blues
march out a beat to your own blues

and when that rain it falls
it don't bother me at all
now that I'm just a prisoner
in the storm

You made a vow to try to bring me down
and it worked for about an hour or two

Beat To Your Own Blues

I saw this amazing short video (90 seconds, and worth it) called A Great Homage to Nature of changing appearances and mimicry of nature. This piece was going to be called The More Things Change, but the video inspired a change (!) of title. The graphic is a still shot from the video, which I gratefully acknowledge. Look closely.
The vid can be found on Youtube - search with that title above. (The link I had no longer functions.)

Changing into You

This original song describes the tribulations and challenges that often wear folks down, yet we can surprise ourselves, when we dig deep, and find the muster to meet and conquer all that life might throw at us. This is for all you Cowboys and Cowgirls out there.. we don't lie down.. we never give up.. xx  

For Jaimie...the Ultimate Cowgirl.

Lyrics:  “Stronger Than You Know” by Nat Daniels & Craig Durgy

Trying to collect her thoughts
Like shards of broken glass
Taking care of work and family
Never stops to ask for anything.
She just needs her second wind

Oh she’s a cowgirl
With a spirit free and wild
And life may take her down 
And keep her there a while
But like a Valkyrie
She’ll find the strength to rise up like before
Like a sunbeam 'cross the floor
Cause she’s a cowgirl, and she’s strong…
Yeah, stronger than she knows….

He comes in and slams the door 
And shows his weary eyes
Paying bills, no time for thrills
He’s giving every inch he’s got inside
But he needs a breath of life…

Oh... he’s a cowboy
With a spirit free and wild
And he may be grounded
But they can’t take what’s inside
And like a phoenix from the ashes
He will rise again once more
He’ll be stronger than before
‘Cause he’s a cowboy and he’s strong
Yeah, stronger than he knows…
You’re stronger than you know
You’re stronger than you know…

Stronger Than You Know

Don't Take It Away

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–sitar, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–electric piano, vocals
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion, vocals
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–lead guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass guitar, vocals

  
This song started with Artur composing a brilliant, open piece on his guitar, in his distinct surf rock style, and sending it to Josh. Josh put the bass down on top of Ken's banging drums, but it took Josh, a while to be able to get this one for some reason. Once he and Ken were locked in, though, they knew they had it. JJ then sprinkled his electric keyboard magic, followed by Tez, who lights up the whole thing with his electric guitar wizardry. 
  At Artur's request, Ken, JJ, and Josh added the big harmony vocals, "See you soon, in a better world." Artur wanted this song to be about the need for peace in the world. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen added the sitar intro. He also accomplished the herculean task of mixing and producing the whole thing for us.
  This is another true team effort by the Eclectic Collective, and the fourth in our series of surf rock songs. This also happens to coincide with Artur's birthday, so please go to his page and wish him a happy birthday. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
