Description from the instrumental version:

Our friend Tot. from Japan suggested we do an emotional ballad song next time we collaborated - so we decided to finish a song of ours from 2018 that had no drums and invited him to drum over it. 

He added some amazing funk energy in the beat to our unconventional chiptunesque pop ballad. Thanks so much for joining us Tot.!!

Lyrics by Rob and Masha.

Thank you for listening!

Lyrics:

Everything goes through changes
Differences and alterations
Things are different, life moves on
Truth is former times are gone
x4

I am grateful that you still believe in me
But there's something that we really should confer
Every time we talk it's tumultuous as can be
Every time we talk it's tumultuous as can be

Every time I think of you
I know inside
That between us now
There is a great divide

If you knew me even better then you'd say
That I've changed too much and I've been led astray
I have changed, I'm not the same
You'd only say that it's a shame
Things are different, life moves on
Truth is my old self is gone
I tried but I couldn't do
Everything you wanted me to
Can't go back to who I used to be

You want the idealised version of the past self me
That person isn't here, that person isn't me
If you knew me even better then you'd say
That I've changed too much and I've been led astray
x4

(I am grateful that you still believe in me)
(But there's something that we really should confer)
(Every time we talk it's tumultuous as can be)

I hope that you don't mind that
The Real Me
Is exactly what you see 
Before you today

I Have Changed - w/ Tot. on drums

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell – drums, bass, organ, triangle, and composition

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–PRS semi hollow body electric guitar

This song began with JJ on a late Saturday night, coming up with it on the drums, bass, and organ. He even added some real triange, if you listen for it, you'll be delighted. He had a killer jazz groove on his mind when he composed it, and was able to really bring it to life on all levels. He originally wrote it as a solo piece, but asked Josh if he would like to add a guitar part. Josh jumped at the opportunity to play an original jazz song on his guitar, and in a few days, recorded more than 20 takes of it. He finally landed on the one you hear in here now. 

  They asked Stephen to mix, master, and produce it for them, which he did in his typically professional way.

  This was a fun, exciting collaboration, featuring just JJ and Josh, but the rest of the Eclectic Collective will be back with them next time. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Rising For Air (G. Di Nunno)

It's now to throw aside and bleed
Out the poisons I've collected
That span that took more than gave
Open arms to leave rejected

All that pressure building
Attempts at fitting in
Followed scripts as written
Left stricken from the spin
That rise for air
Rising.

Remembered how you laughed me down
Once the aura lost its luster
And joined the band of lonely ghosts
Isolated, cold, to shudder.

Friends fled through the back door
As scissors cut the ties
Got the hand-down remnants
With footprints left by spies
That rise for air
Rising.

It all depended on a former vision
The effort given rewarded with tension
A lightened hatred as the months were flying
Became a new scene; tell me how that happened?

Where stares were hard
A lightened mood
Has entered here
And washed away.
What led to this
Is memory
To part and go
Not looking back.
Rising
Rise for air
Rising
Rise for air.
