AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL

Thoughts of Failure When Alone (G. Di Nunno)

A final call takes a bow
Stuffs complaints inside a box
With false romance ripped in two
Passed on through and left some signs.

Of when this life was going well
Can't think on what must change
All that arriving soon
First: to feel the worst of this
It's setbacks, fever tone
Thoughts of failure when alone.

Feel it all awhile
All this wracking doubt
Then lift-off once more
A strengthened return.

All these ramblings kick a dead horse
Gives an aura bitter blue
No one cares to hear the struggle
Off with dark shades--different view.

Had you listened, maybe offered
Open discourse all would end
Thus the tension, face revealing
Eyes withholding, moods descend.

Those hurdles gone the race is on
Until the next to do the best
With better ways the past decays
A small demand you understand...

#4. Thoughts Of Failure When Alone

Lyrics and vocal by me
I made the music in GarageBand

Lyrics:

The contours of you slowly fade
You who once shone so brightly
Everything you did was stuck inside of me
In all the memories i made..

But was it you...?
Was it true...?

Or did I create an illusion
Of what I wanted you to be
My head is full of confusion
From what I thought i could see..

Was it you...?
Was it true..?

Oh, I had made myself a picture
With what I wanted so see
I really thought I saw you..
I didn't really see the truth..

I saw you...
But it wasn't true....

Was It You? (Original )

Inspire by the Final Speech from The Great Dictator

We think too much, and feel too little
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness
We think too much, and feel too little
More than machinery, we need humanity
Greed has poisoned men's souls

We Think Too Much And Feel Too Little

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 
  Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 
  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.
  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you dealing with all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A little woweluja
Little halleluja
