My profound thanks to Gaz and Andy for allowing me to tag along on their excellent track! What an aboslute pleasure to work with these two pro's.. !!!  
A great song written by Gaz, it tells the story of the recklessness we must grow out of, to finally become wise,  which only comes from bitter experience. 
Expertly produced and mixed by Noobly..   I give you .. the Conscience of Kings!

Lyrics By Gaz Brownie:

You have a  affliction 
(to your addictions)
You have looked death in the eye
(Shed the  crocodile tear dry )
A life that’s been designed 
(You Crashed, burnt &  survived )
In the early hours 
(Thank god no roadside flowers )
You gambled on your life 
Took a massive risk that night 
Pushing against the rules
Thinking your invincible

This is to  the man  who’s a boy 
Who’s had everything x2
You are down  to the wire 
Running faster getting Higher

This is your father and your mother 
Dealing with you  like no other
Your in  danger of going to far
Especially that night in the car 
Something will give or happen 
So break the cycle of this  pattern
It’s time to grow up 
For the boy who’s  had everything

To The Man Who's A Boy - Conscience Of Kings With Nat Daniels

Off our forth-coming "grunge album." I wouldn't normally post a song until the album's been released.... but normally things are more normal.

Say something
It's your turn
Breathe
Where you have not breathed before
I'm here
I will receive you
I'm here
I will receive

Any time
Any thing
Any where
Any any any 
You know what I mean

Say something
It doesn't have to be bright
It's your turn
Or deep or anything much at all
Breathe
Take in something fresh
Where you have not breathed before
Learn some new lines
A different view

When you will
Be it deep or insignificant
I don't mind at all

Say something
It's your turn

Say Something

Liquor Is Quicker

A day that wears a distant glow
something stirs the air and goes
and takes me from the humdrum ground
and leads me to the steps i've found

and while i'm waiting in the wings
i'm missing much of everything
and loosing touch with what i knew
i'm hanging on an old refrain
these ghostly winds that bear the shame
won't let me through

A torchlight to a distant glow
in a time and place that flowed
parading on an empty sound
all around

and to this fate in hope i cling
i'm missing much of everything
and loosing touch with what i knew
i'm hanging on this old terrain
the ghostly windows bear the shame
the morning dew

A distant glow

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition and foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar solos choruses, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth, and intro composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar solo in the verses
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass guitar
 
This song began with Artur composing the entire skeleton, and recording it against a mechanical beat. He presented it to Josh, who immediately shared it with The Eclectic Collective. Ken first replaced the metronomic beat with a real, rocking drum sound. Josh promptly added his fretless bass to it, to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, JJ added his electric piano magic, including a short solo, to the stew. Once the rhythmic framework was laid down, Stephen got to work on the choruses, coming up with solid, melodic lines for them. Then, it was Tez's turn to light up the verses with his monster guitar. When we had it mostly completed, Artur asked JJ if he'd do an intro to it. JJ came up with the whole psychedelic intro in response. 
  When it was finished, we asked Stephen if he would mix it for us, which he did with his typical mastery and attention to detail. We all really enjoy making music with Artur, and have been fans of and collaborators with him for almost a year now. If you like the sound of this song, you would do well to go check out his page, too, as he has a bunch of gems on there. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

   This composition is dedicated to J.J., Josh, Ken, Stephen and Tez 😎 Thank you guys for your friendship, outstanding playing and creativity! 🌞🎸

Tell me the Truth (w/ The Eclectic Collective)

We may not have traveled far and wide,  but Keith has a way of transporting us all over the world through his curious mind and love of history. So, why are we in Italy? Simply put, Keith loves Vespas ;)  Actually, he loves the idea of the band touring Italy on Vespas, funky hipster wheels and recording tunes as we go.  The "Sock Puppets" was a theme Keith developed as he created some videos depicting travels with the WAG puppets.
Vesari Corridor is one adventure from the Album Keith wanted to develop, found here: https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons
Join Keith, Kevin, and I as we travel around Italy, taking in some famous landmarks and enjoying a lot of Kevin's favourite red wines.

Lyrics:
Vasari Corridor

Da,da,da,da,dah…… Da,da,da,da,dah……(nonchalantly strolling along, minding own business:)
Down the corridor …of Vasari.

I found a secret place…somewhere safe for us to go
No prying eyes in this narrow space…a hidden alley that I know
Down the corridor…of Vasari

Da, da, dah, da, da, dah …he’s waiting.  
Da, da, dah, da, da, dah …he’s waiting

We are not allowed in here… (Do-do-do-do) If we’re careful, we’ll be fine
Avoid the blade, avoid the fear… (Do- do-do-do) and we will live till next time
Down the corridor…of Vasari

If there was a way to avoid this…hiding and subterfuge
(Down the corridor…of Vasari)
I found a secret place, somewhere safe for us to go…
(Down the corridor…down the corridor…of Vasari)
Somewhere safe for us to go…go…go…go…

(The chase commences…)

Stab him in the back…He’s never going back!
He’s Medici…He’s Medici   (repeats)

Bad Things W/ Janne Hennie

From the time i was little child all i ever wanted to do was to play music. Morning , noon and night. When i get a song in my head i cant stop until i get it down somewhere and i know a lot of people just like me so i wrote this song for all of us Bards. Musical magicians, guardians of musical songs and old traditions. I hope you enjoy this one , it has taken me a long time to get it out and record it. 

We are musicians. 
We are The guardians of songs and old tradition 
We are the Bards , the musical magicians 
We are Musician. 
We are musicians. 

We are Musicians. 
We are not lawyers or Soldiers or politicians 
We are the sorcerers the musical magicians. 
We are Musicians.  

Chorus 
Music is all we want to play 
Form the dawning of the morning sun until the closing of the day 
Music is everything we are it’s our life our love our everything. 
We just want to dance and sing 
Music …. we just want to play Music. 
Music ……We just want to play music. 

We are musicians. 
We’re not Soldiers we’re not lawyers we’re not politicians. 
 We are the Bards we are the Musical Magicians 
We not Physicians, we’re just musicians. 

Music is all we want to play. 
Form the rising of the morning sun until the evening of the day. 
Music is everything we are it’s our life our love our everything. 
We just want to dance and sing. 
Music is everything we are. 
Its our life our soul our everything 
We just want to dance and sing.

Ash to ash
Dust to Dust
Here we go again
I pray to god but I swear
I don't think his listening
I fear the man in the mirror
worse than the Boogie Man!!
I held my mothers rosary inside my hand
Baby if you really know who I am
I don't think you would want to hold really my hand!!

London Bridge has fallen down!!
The sky has turned to red!!
The oceans fill with blood!!
I am the Monster here!!
The mask has fallen down!!
I'm the monster now!!
I hope you run!!

Monster (HoboCop x RENTT)

Song recipe: Take some Kinks, add Mott the Hopple, stir in Captain Beefheart and sprinkle  Flaming Lips weirdness to taste.

Lyrics:
We're freaks at large
We're loose in the general population
Fighting foes of imagination 
We're coming to your town
We're fighting the foes of imagination
Daydreamers 
Truth screamers
Yeah, I'm running with the freaks at large
Freaks at large
And we're coming to your town
You see us in our car
Outside  the bar
In a museum 
Just being who we are
Don't look us in the eye
We know that you live a lie
We're sanity's gatekeepers
Unfortunately, we're late sleepers  

Daydreamers 
Truth screamers
Yeah, I'm running with the freaks at large
Coming to your town
Fighting foes of imagination
Freaks at large
This is an All-Points Bulletin
Watch out for the freaks at large
Freaks at large
