This music is loosely inspired by John Lurie's very engaging TV show, "Painting With John".

Why Am I Thinking These Things?

Cast of characters: 

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, sitar, mix, mastering, and production

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, electric piano, and synth

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 

 This song is the brainchild of Artur, who composed it on his guitar perfectly for collaboration, and presented it to us with his vision for the entire sound. Ken went first, of course, adding his signature rocking beat to the song. Josh went next, as soon as Ken had laid down the drums, adding his four string fretless bass sound to fill out the rhythm section. 
  Tez came along soon after, adding some foundational ornamentation with his guitar. JJ jumped in right after Tez, and laid in the majestic organ, riffing electric piano, and subtle synth you hear throughout. Finally, Stephen laid his guitar in there, too, which can be heard as a fiery melodic line running throughout. At Artur's suggestion, he also added some amazing, trippy sitar in a couple of spots, too.
  Once all the tracks were laid down, Stephen came through with his always skillful mix. This makes almost an album worth of material that The Eclectic Collective has created from Artur's ideas. We're always excited when he drops a new one in our laps. He wrote this on a sweet rainy day in the Polish summer. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
  
  We all appreciate your support, and encourage you to share this song if you've read the whole way down to the bottom here

Sweet Rainy Day-Eclectic Collective

Vocals & lyrics : Janne Hennie

Fighting against a system
That doesn't really care
They tell us we are voiceless
Can't see us
But we are here..
Want us to believe them
When they say they know best
We are just a number
An impersonal case...

Let's mess up the system
And laugh it away
Using our voices
Let's show them today!

They treat us as an object
Which shall not make demands
They think they have the power
But we will fight back..

Let's mess up the system
And laugh it away
Using our voices
Let's show them today!

Let's mess up the system
And laugh it away
Using our voices
Let's show them today!!
