lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

"Dog World'

Through the car window
I see cities, I see people
Billboard of a dog world
But the real 
Likes the sun
Likes breeze
The other of greed
Of greed and power
That love ain't true
Look at him the dog world
With your proud fascination
So smart so only
Seed plant 
To reap money
Hunger and desire to have

Look at him the dog world
So beautiful and so dirty
Look at him the dog world
Turning turning
Look at him the dog world
Barking barking

Dog World

SONG NOTES AND LYRICS:
Let the rain come down 
Take this river to the sea
Let the rain come down
Take this river to the sea
Way out here
Just the rain and the river and me

Let the rain come down 
The things this old river has seen 
Let the rain come down 
The things this old river has seen
Way out here
It’s just the rain and the river me

From the top of this hill 
How this river flows
Doing what a river does 
What a river knows 
Let the rain come down 
Take the river where the river goes 

Let the rain come down 
What will be will be 
Let the rain come down 
What will be will be 
Way out here
Just the rain and the river and me

Lyrics
Pre Chorus
No imagination—-no glory
Worry don’t set ——the pace

Verse1
each level deeper——— keep it positive ——
—-no negative ——when I come through——
🎵It’s unedited
Playing the odds———I won’t lose
living life —-no regrets, is what I choose 🎵
open bars, liquid——-flow
drink it up ———here we go
Wow —-wow—-wow
now you know
rhymes so——- magical
X’s and O’s ———-crossing lines like
tic-tac-toe

Verse2
Throwing kisses ——count it—-SWAK
tapping out Beats—— enemies being taxed
Hitting the streets, with pleasantries
—-Every key, belong to me, gate keeper.
Can you see—-it has to be——number one priority?
Keep it 100—-come on
Peep That shadow —-by my side
That’s the Grim Reaper

What’s money worth—— when life is much cheaper,
hand-to-hand, with death,
Each level deeper,
Each level deeper
the lesson you learn ——only once
he’s a great teacher [Echo]

Chorus

No imagination—-no glory
Worry don’t set ——the pace
No imagination—-no glory
Worry don’t set ——the pace——peace!-(X2)

Verse3

each level deeper, keep it positive no negative
when I come through——It’s unedited
Playing the odds, I won’t lose
🎵living life —-no regrets, is what I choose 🎵

Each level deeper, ever since the beginning,
convince, but still winning,
musically I’m pimping,
better come on get’em
dress to the left—-even my limp got rhythm
each beat —— a beat that—— tell a story,
Unlimited ——imagination ————brings it glory.
Don’t worry—-Don’t worry

Verse1

open bars, liquid——-flow
drink it up ———here we go
Wow —-wow—-wow
now you know ——now you know
rhymes so——-magical
X’s and O’s ———-crossing lines like
tic-tac-toe

Verse2

Each level deeper, ever since the beginning,

musically I’m pimping,
better come on get’em
dress to the left—-even my limp got rhythm
each beat —— a beat that—— tell a story,
Unlimited ——imagination ————brings it glory.
Don’t worry—-Don’t worry

🎵Worry don’t set the pace——
Worry don’t set the pace🎵
Each level deeper
Each level deeper [Echo]

Lyrics:

REACTION
I don't like what I see all around
Certain projects are beyond the bound
Sometimes I wish I could come back a bit
in the wheel of time.

I try to find a why
The dehumanization involves you and I
An artificial world full of droning idols
makes me no so quiet.

I can't believe the way we live
A desert in the heart without relief
They're going on, the nous is gone
A crowd of automatons with no real bonds
This makes me cry, this makes me try.

Oh...What to do?
What's going on?
Reaction!
Oh...Me and you
Oh...Come on!
Reaction!

Certain people must stay down to earth
They can't decide your life and death
We gotta get strong, holding on
as much as possible.

I can't believe the way we live
A desert in the heart without relief
They're going on, the nous is gone
A crowd of automatons with no real bonds
This makes me cry, this makes me try.

Oh...What to do?
What's going on?
Reaction!
Oh...Me and you
Oh...Come on!
Reaction!

Something is watching you

What’s it gonna do

Is it gonna bite you, is it gonna beat you 
Is it gonna take you, is it gonna rape       you
  
You feel instinctivly, you are in danger
Your heart is raging hard, you are in danger
Your breath is going fast; you are in danger 
And what you’re gonna do, something is watching you

You’re body is reacting properly
What’s it gonna be
Flight, freeze or fight

something is watching you (collab KSB)

Cast of Characters:

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals, lyrics, Ovation acoustic guitar, and composition

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and upright piano, and JJ's angels (voice synth)

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

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST fiddle

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

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

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Gibson Earl Scruggs banjo, production, mix, and mastering

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl siezed on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about. 

  Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. He also added the subtle human voice choral synth you hear throughout. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section. 

  Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.

  We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carls songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine

Autumnal Mood

Bossa Blues do Aconchego was first released in 2024, in the album World Bossa Jazz sounds of Dado Sá. Both versions lean to a very organic and acoustic interpretation of this dreamy melody that constantly touches bossa, mpb and bluesy notations. The lyrics are a sequencing of sayings and proverbial like affirmations that reflect on the window of the eyes and the soul in their vision of life, nature and God. A very personal sharing of some of my deepest emotions and reflections... Lobo Guará, Jubarte, Cana Brava... the natural and the divine so intertwined... I hope you enjoy it!!! Dado.

Ambas as versões se inclinam para uma interpretação bastante orgânica e acústica dessa melodia onírica, que toca constantemente notas de bossa, MPB e blues. A letra é uma sequência de ditos e afirmações proverbiais que refletem a janela dos olhos e da alma em sua visão da vida, da natureza e de Deus. Um compartilhamento muito pessoal de algumas das minhas emoções e reflexões mais profundas... Lobo Guará, Jubarte, Cana Brava... o natural e o divino tão entrelaçados... Espero que gostem!!! Dado.

Bossa Blues do Aconchego

An acoustic version of the 1997 track ‘Always You’ which we recorded as teenagers. You can find that track by looking at my other tracks. 

I can imagine this version on a film or tv show. 

Let me know if you prefer this version or the rockier one.
