N-Hang Loose Paradise

ACIDOSIA

7 days to Christmas and we're uploading a darker, challenging song, not quite anti-Christmas, more like an awareness exercise.
Mental health over the holiday season creates some challenges for the season.
A curated version of the song is up on YouTube at the link below.

Lyrics:

Behind (Not Your Usual Christmas Song)

Verse 1
 
The road is long, got some twists and turns
Got some elevation, I can see the world around
And sometimes, sometimes, it's not as pretty
As the music seems to suggest
Sometimes it's pretty ugly
Makes you want to turn around and leave this world
Behind 

Verse 2

The road is long,
It's got some twists and turns
Takes you through the valleys,
You lose your way ahead.
Sometimes, sometimes it's not as pretty
As our FB posts and selfies seem to suggest
Sometimes, it's pretty, pretty ugly, 
Makes you want to fall to the ground, curl up
And leave this world
Behind
And leave this world behind
leave it all behind
leave it all behind

Behind  (Not your usual Christmas Song)

Fallow

The door that once opened so easily
Don't open no more
It's grown into something different
As though the past was simply on loan
It's taken its toll
And has now collapse into that hole
Fallow, fallow, fallow, fallow

The bridge that once brought me to you 
Has stranded me out up upon that ridge
I've come a thousand times before
But the well is nothing more than a empty drum
It's ground me down
As it's driven me from this town
Fallow, fallow, fallow, fallow

The past still haunts me
With a curse that was cast
I've held the pieces of a shattered heart
Long after the union was felled
It's a deafening tone
That piercing ring from your heart of stone
Fallow, fallow, fallow, fallow

Love always takes me places, I never would have gone. 
Love always takes me places, I've never seen before

Love always takes me places, without leaving home
Love always takes me places, at the speed of sound

Love's just a road trip, baby. We're going coast to coast
Love’s just a road trip baby. You're gonna find you’re lost

Love always takes me places, It's a one way ticket now
Love always takes me places, It's first class all the way

Don't pack a suitcase, baby. We'll shop when we get there. 
Just fill the gas tank, baby. We're gonna catch some air. 
Gonna catch some air, 
Gonna find you there 
We’ll be laissez-faire

Love always takes me places, I never fly alone. 
Love always takes me places, To see something new.

Take Me Places

This is a project that JJ has been putting together for us as a gift every year for the past couple of years, which gives us a way to speak to all our fans, friends, associates on SoundCloud. It is a compilation of a bunch of our songs from the past year, over which we all answer some questions in an interview style. This year, our interviewer is SunnyBeck, although it has been Jeff of Stonerjazz fame in the past. We have collaborated on a few songs with her, and now consider her part of the Eclectic Collective family.
We know this is a very long project, so please listen to as much as you want, and know this is as much for our collective listening pleasure as it is to show the world. The time stamps of all out appearances are included with our names, so if you just want to listen to a particular person while commenting on their page, please feel free to do that, too.
This is a time of year to take stock in and reflect on the past year. We all have a lot for which to be thankful. We added Carl to the group this year, which has been a delight to all of us. He and Chris have given us so many amazing compositions to work with. Chris is a full member of the band, although he doesn't appear as an interviewee in the documentary.
We also want to sincerely thank the other collaborators who have shared their magic with us this year. They include Jonathan Beckenstein, Jeff Roberts, MahanMahan, Didier Burli, Tea R. Sea, Mark F, E Ruizzo, Saskiagoethals, Joe Stroffolino, Sean Smith, Steve's Planet, Gaz Brownie, Nyla K, Scratch Kelly, and Single Use & Recycled. They are all spectacular musicians to whom we're very grateful.
Most of all, though, we're sincerely thankful for each one of you out there with whom we've been able to share our music and make a personal connection with. Your music delights us, as well, and we know that all the attention we get is actually just musicians like us checking poking their heads out and reaching for the same connection. We hope you enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoy making it. We wish you a successful, creative, and meaningful New Year!
