Lyrics

What do I have to say
To make you stay
The world is turning now
Without me

Why do you have to keep
Just letting me retreat
This worldly learning is
So lonely

Take my hand, dear
Help me to stand, dear
It thaws my heart, just
To have you near

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith
Or finally arrive

You used to bring me
Coffee in the morning
You used to kiss me in the rain
I remember times so full of yearning
Oh will we ever feel that way again

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith
Or finally arrive

My Guitars

Cast of characters:

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, banjo, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—clavichord and theremin
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- synth
cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris -- electric guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five-string fretless bass, electric guitar, seed idea 
Composition--The Eclectic Collective 
  This song began with Josh coming up with the bass line and accompanying guitar chords that make up that part of the rhythm section. Ken was next to add his funky drums, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ also added to the rhythm, however, with his driving clavichord, soon after. He also added the trippy theremin you hear in the break part, too. Chris added some far out guitar parts that fill in the sound throughout, too. Mark then jumped in and she some of the synth you hear in the break part, too. Stephen came along to complete the sound with his cunning banjo, as well as fiery guitar in the break part. He also produced and mixed this superbly as always for us. 
  This is another purely Eclectic Collective production, and almost all of us were able to add our sound to this, except Tez and The Mysterious Decibel. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Maybe

I’m torn from my home
Yes I am
I don’t want to leave
This I know
Torn organs apart
Stain the ocean
Diluting my clothes
Where will I go?
Elexis alone
Orcas circle the bow
These cliffs warble below
I’m lost, do they know?
Location unknown
Wind-strung cipher revealed
Now I go alone
Strung up
and flung
through the air and sea
This I know
My spirit’s awake
with warmth & grace
Hand in the sunlight
Where I walk alone
Where I walk alone
Where I walk alone
I’ll walk with you, when you come

TAKES A LONG LIFE TO GET WISER
AND THEN YOU'LL GROW OLD AND FEEL TIRED
A POT OF GOLD IS IN THE HORIZON
THE RAINBOW WONT SHINE ON YOU,  ANYMORE

TAKE THE ROAD TAKE THE LONG WAY
AROUND WE GO ANOTHER NEW DAY
MAKE BELIEVE IT'S ALWAYS SUNDAYS
AND HIT THE ROAD

(chorus)
EVERYDAY     EVERY-DAY
EVERYDAY     IN EVERY WAY

IT'S SOMETIMES ROUGH IT'S SOMETIMES LONELY
THE ANGRY SKY IT FEELS CRAZY
THE POT OF GOLD IS ON THE HORIZON
THE RAINBOW IT SHINES FOR YOU 

(REPEAT CHORUS)

EVERYDAY I CAN WAIT
I CAN SEE PAST TOMORROW
EVERYDAY I CAN PLAY
IN MY HEAD I THINK I'M DREAMING

MAKE BELIEVE IT'S ALWAYS SUNDAYS
AND HIT THE ROAD

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Timeline

EVERYDAY

Composer/Songwriter. Proficient performer of piano, bass guitar, double bass, cello, 6 string , 12 string , drums, triangle (shall I include tambourine too?🤣), vocals, lyrics. 99% of the tracks on this page are original songs. None of my performances on any of my tracks, whether solo work, or collaboration, have any editing whatsoever. Effects and equalization? Of course! But no editing, no software, etc. Quite a substantial amount of these tracks are with The Eclectic Collective. We are like family and have been playing together on a daily basis since approximately March of 2022 as the Eclectic Collective. Before the band bore it's name Eclectic Collective; Josh, Ken, Stephen, Tez, and  CG Maness were doing some occasional collabs. At any given time we are all simultaneously working on about 15 different songs. And when we feel they are done cooking in the oven we release them.  We release a song every week on Fridays at 4AM UTC
