Blues HOP - HIP - TOP 4

A go at Pink Floyd's eternal favourite. Apologies to the afficionado's there is no guitar solo at the start; I tried one, but it didn't sound right.

Answers To Questions Unasked

A dreamy short story song about beautiful codependent summer lovers in Technicolor.
Lyrics:
I'm a sucker for those people pleasers
You'll find this out as my character unfolds
I need something to believe in
I'm an aging misanthrope

You only love me when your high
Sitting outside
It's summertime
Glistening
By the pool of light

You really have your type
Us underachievers
You need a receiver
Transmitter
Frequency set to true believers
Your exactly right
Your absolutely right
Living life to your own code
The lies we tell ourselves to live (2X)

You only love me when your high
The lies we tell ourselves to live
All the lies that we tell ourselves to live
You've got to fight for it
You've got to live your life by it
As we make love on the kitchen floor...

The Lies We Tell Ourselves To Live

United In Heaven

Cosmic Dreams

The Earth Love

Daylight Moon (Remix)

Cast of Characters:
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth and original seed 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– Guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass guitar
The Eclectic Collective – composition

 This song began with JJ, as many of our songs do, who composed the outline on the keys, drums, and bass. He then let everyone else in on it immediately. Ken was first up to bat by laying his always cunning drums in there. After he had a beat to work with, Josh used his tree trunk of a five-string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, Tez and Stephen both laid their magical guitars in there. Once we had it all in the can, Stephen used his powers of production to give us a great mix.
  This one came together relatively quickly, which is a good sign that we're all enthusiastic about what we're creating. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Mellow Travels (The Eclectic Collective)

One minute things are going fine
But life can turn on a dime
Every day you roll the dice
And sometimes you find yourself on thin ice

You go for a routine medical check
And they find something you didn’t expect
You’ve been eating healthy food you take a daily jog
Now you’re wondering if you’ll outlive your dog

You’ve been working so hard for all these years
 but what do you have to show for it
All these things you bought but what do you have to show for it

Some people spend their lives accumulating wealth
But what’s the point of money if you don’t have your health

It’s nice to set some long term goals and think about your future days
But sometimes you need to take a step back and make sure you’re on the right highway

You’re hanging by a thread that you used to think was a thick rope
Your road was very flat but now you’re climbing a steep slope

You get up in the morning and you go to work 
You get up in the morning an you go to work
You get up in the morning and you go to work
Five days a week

You’ve been working so hard for all these years
but what do you have to show for it
All these things you bought but what do you have to show for it


You wake up every morning  go  about your day
Sometimes you wonder if it’s goanna be okay
You try to take it one day at a time
Some days are bad others are fine

Incidental finding, life threw you a curve
You're driving down the highway and you're trying not to swerve.
Incidental finding, life threw  you a curve
You're driving down the highway and you're trying not to swerve.

Incidental Finding

The unfinished journey of the lost tooth
