The fourth song of our summer series "We Can Solve Most Things If We Talk" is a hymn to Hope.  It is the enduring attribute of mankind to be able to think beyond the most painful circumstances and imagine a better life and a better world.  Peter is not just a fine writer of melody and lyrics, but a very able and eloquent guitarist and vocalist.  Oddrun graces this song with her angelic voice as if she were Hope itself, and in duet they give the song wings.  Seagull's synths, bass, and mix are ever sure and seamless, a true labor of love.

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

Hopeful Man--Will You Raise Your Right Hand (Peter, Oddrun, and Seagull)

Kitchen Discos 

A song about all them good times dancing, singing and laughing until your sides split. 
Having the best night out in your kitchen.
Then over time the magic just fades and it’s a memory of why don’t we do this anymore. 
We give you Kitchen Disco 
Bring them back 

V1
I just want a kitchen disco to stone the crows 
Under the spotlights dancing on the heron bone 
When we cried with laugher until we just  dropped
After singing at the top of our voices  and giving it everything we had got

 

Chorus 
And now it’s me against my self 
Over compensating like hell 
Me against myself 
Oh what happened Dear Danielle 
To kitchen discos dancing on the heron bone lino  x3
Kitchen discos    



V2
I just want a kitchen disco to stone the crows 
Under the spotlights dancing on the heron bone 
When we cried with laugher then we just dropped
After singing at the top of our voices  showing off what we had got

Chorus 
And now it’s me against my self 
Over compensating like hell x2
Me against myself 
Oh what happened Dear Danielle 
To kitchen discos dancing on the heron bone Lino
Kitchen discos 


Outro 
Kitchen discos are what I miss 
Now I just reminisce
Why don’t we do that anymore 
I wish it was like before 
Kitchen discos are no more

Cast of Characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel  --MD—effected vocals
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, trippy synth
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and seed idea 
Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began about half a year ago, as part of a three song set that Ken started with some really cool beats. Josh was first to the trough for here, laying in his fretless bass groove to complete the foundation and give it some tonal direction. Stephen came next and laid in the really trippy textural guitar that you hear throughout. JJ was next with his serious, no joke organ playing, which sets the mood for the whole thing. Last, but not least, Tez joined by adding some really cool accent guitar throughout.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, so we tapped Stephen to do the honors on this.
  We had originally made this and the other two songs with the intention of having The Mysterious Decibel and his friend Modes About Me sing on them. However, life got in the way, so we sat on them. Finally, MD let us know that he wasn't able to complete the project with us, much to everyone's, including his, disappointment. However, MD did lay down a rough vocal demo for us, which Stephen very ably processed to sound almost like another instrument in there. So, we're releasing this song as a tribute to them both, with gratitude, especially to MD for all the great work he's put in with us. If you're not familiar with either of them, do yourself a favor and check them out. Modes about me is at  @modesaboutme and the link to The Mysterious Decibel can be found in the link in the cast of characters above. 
  This is an example of what it sounds like when the whole band composes a song together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Mysterious Modes

A song I wrote in April 2020, sitting it out… hoping it would only be two weeks  to @ flatten the curve, ha!!

Strange Goins On

The 'adrift' float has ended. We are no longer moving, but have arrived, suspended in a new stillness. But this stillness is not silent. This is 'A Hum Draped in Shadows.' A beatless, tense interlude, the track is the sound of an unanswered question. The Cello 'shivers' with a long, dissonant, 'shadowy' hum, while the Kalimba echoes like a ghost in the dark. This is the 'hum' we've been chasing, a mysterious and uneasy 'calm before the storm.

Shadows are with the light
