Breaking Free (Lyrics by Jaime J. Ross)

—————————————————————— 
Tied to everything that "was"
With rope that's worn and old
The knots that were so very tight
Now loosen up their hold

You work until your hands are loose
And slip out easily
No longer tied to where you were
You're finally breaking free

Scars now wrap around your wrists
They tell what you won't say
A constant dark reminder
That you could not get away

But now the ropes fall to the floor
You stand up straight and tall
Look out upon the great beyond
Know you can have it all

—————————————————————— 
No longer bound to anything
No longer sitting still
No longer stuck in all that "was"
Held against your will

Endless opportunity
No limits that you see
The world is now wide open
For you have broken free

—————————————————————— 
/: You look behind at where you were
See others who are tied
The ropes still hold them tightly
You can't leave them behind :/

You work until their ropes let go
And finally let them be
You all move on together
Finally breaking free

—————————————————————— 
No longer bound to anything
No longer sitting still
No longer stuck in all that "was"
Held against your will

Endless opportunity
No limits that you see
The world is now wide open
For you have broken free


Breaking Free - Rock Flexible (Lyrics by Jaime J. Ross)

thats just what she'll do

"Balance" continues Moon and Aries’ genre-defying evolution, blending Neo Soul, Trip-hop, R&B, Electro pop soul into a dreamy, retro-futuristic composition. Jordana's evocative vocals float over hypnotic beats, a mellow guitar riff, and a soulful saxophone, creating a cinematic mood that is both introspective and transportive.  
This is the duo’s most meditative work yet — a lush invitation to explore the spaces between movement and stillness, emotion and reflection. 
"We wanted ‘Balance’ to sound like soul floating through a future skyline — sensual, spacious, and glowing with quiet intensity." – Moon and Aries 

Perfect for fans of Portishead, Morcheeba, Bonobo, and Zero 7, “Balance” showcases the duo’s unique ability to merge electronic sophistication with soulful vulnerability.

Balance

A piano piece inspired by "Tales From the Loop" by Philip Glass and Paul Leonard-Morgan.

Debating whether to add a beat and other elements or leave it raw. Thoughts?

Cast of Characters: 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Paul Reed Smith semi hollow body electric Guitar 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, Love Triangle ( ha!)
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song, in case you're not familiar, was written by Medeski, Martin, and Wood with guitarist John Scofield, and performed by them on an album eponymously named A Go Go. Josh has always been a huge fan of both MMW and J.S., and has always wanted to play more of their music, as he used to cover a couple of their songs in one of his main old bands. 
  Josh laid down the bass and after going back an forth a couple of times with Ken and his thrilling drums, they established the rhythm section. Soon after, Josh added his jazzy guitar, as well. We needed someone to play John Medeski's part, too, of course. So, we asked JJ if he'd do the honors, which he did in grand fashion. 
  Once it was all laid down, we needed a good mix, and no one is gooder than Stephen, so we asked him to mix it for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 
  This was a lot of fun to record, and we hope that comes through. This is a stripped down Eclectic Collective collab, where most of what we're all doing is improv. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
