A traditional style blues song. Exploring family relationships.
Lyrics:
She had a hard scrabble life
Her Mother used to drink all day
Her Father never understood the physics of love
And her Sister died of cancer when she was 9
And now everyone that she meets
She ingrains herself deep into their lives
She'll sit with your sick Mother
She'll talk with your Sister all night long
She's the collector
She collecting families

Overcoming the past
That keeps us all down on our knees
She sees my Cousin more than me
She went to visit her ex-husbands parents
In East Lansing
Some people get drunk and dancing
Some people like to collect shiny things
She's a collector
She collects families
She's a collector
She collects families
Because it gives her what she needs
She's the connecting fiber
She grafted onto the family tree
She keeps the peace in the family

The Collector

Ah, dear listener! I present myself here with my good buddy Gary, rather sheepish and shamefaced at being absent from this church of sonic jewels for the longest time.  I have been a bad listener, I'm afraid.  Bereft of mojo, time and without my little studio. Mea culpa. 

If you've read this far, you already have a whiff of the legendary about you.

So one day, quite recently,  the Phaigester messages me and opens his raincoat to reveal a select library of stellar little ear-nuggets he's been hiding away. What beauties, I tell thee! What beauties!
He lives here and you should visit if you haven't before

Three grabbed me instantly..deep, swirling soundstrata, complex and intriguing in equal measure. 

Perched on my bed, yodelling into the abyss, I attempt to add to his painting.  Teleported into that great,  inkyblack wonderland of transcendent joy again.

Hats off to Gar. Inventive, musical and patient. Thanks for your art and resuscitating me.

3 tracks..8mins plus..big ask. But hey, if you've read this far whilst listening you're halfway through 

Cheers me hearties, catch  you soon
Be good

Peripheral

I can’t see you, I can’t be with you
I can’t hold you or feel your welcome touch
As we slip into the water

I always sense you, I always feel you
Moving with me, our thoughts alike so much
As we slip into the water

When you slipped away on that awful day
You made me promise to live my life my own way
As I walk with you into the water

No more peripheral
It is logical
It is you and me

Tlaslila

I feel
Like I want to ride across the desert
Baking sand, tears of sweat in my eyes
Then climb climb the black mountains
Oh-oh-over we go, sail into the grey blue skies
I feel cold, dark deepness,
Feel fearsome rain,
Then fall
Fall into your arms again

Strange Agent

Strange Agent
You're never gonna find the man
Strange Agent
He'll let you run while you can

Fool you summoned him from beyond
Fool you thought he'd give you what you want
But that ain't the deal
Spinning the wheel
He's found something to steal
There's a soul to pay

Strange Agent, running wild in your head
Strange Agent telling you to talk with the dead
He's taking you by the hand

It's In The Room EP ThePhaige with Nicholas Ridiculous

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–guitar solos in first half, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–keys, including organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–Guitar solo in the second half
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–bass guitar
 This is a song that Artur wrote in his unique, original, and signature surf rock style, and passed it on to Josh, as a gift. Josh added some bass, and, of course, had to get the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved, too. Ken came up with the energetic, driving beat, perfectly suited for the song. JJ added some really stunning, surfy organ and jamming electric piano. Tez added his signature inspired, powerful lead in the second part. Stephen added his dynamic guitar voice to the first half, and was kind, generous, patient, and talented enough to mix and produce the whole thing.
  I asked Artur the meaning of the song's title, and he told me that it refers to the soulmate some people find, who can carry you through anything, even if you or they may be a little crazy. It's about crazy love!
  We hope you enjoy our third installment of our surf rock series

DOWNHILL SLIDE
Lyrics by Tony Harris (that inspired Glen to create this track)
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem 

HE WOKE UP ONE MORNIN'
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS GOIN'
HAD BEEN A LONG HARD RIDE

HE HAD HOLES IN HIS SHOES
PATCHES ON HIS BRITCHES
NOTHIN' LEFT TO LOSE
TRYIN' TO STAY BETWEEN THE DITCHES

SEEMED HE'D LOST HIS WAY
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE'D BEEN
HAD NO WHERE TO STAY
HE JUST COULDN'T WIN

(CHORUS)
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
COULD BE HIS LAST RIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE

HE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY
ON THE WAY TO ROCK BOTTOM
THAT LIFE'S NOT ALL PLAY
HE WAS THE PROBLEM

LOST SOME GOOD FRIENDS
LETTIN' THE DEVIL BE HIS GUIDE
PROMISED HIM GOOD TIMES
IF HE'D TAKE THAT RIDE

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
DON'T TAKE THAT RIDE
CHANGE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
IT'S A DOWNHILL SLIDE
IT'S A DOWNHILL SLIDE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Downhill Slide - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Glenny G's "One Man Band" - Original

This instrumental tune is called "Muse is going to be right here for you" with nice old 60’s dance / psychedelic flavor inspired by Edie Sedgwick.
