That's the message! From the lyrics to the drop—what's not to love? Chapeau, EC + !

Wonderful synth, J.J. 👌 and a great EC collab with Artur ✨👏 🫶

Hey JJ. Really fantastic team work!🌟 Love your beautiful and innovative synth passages, brother! Your playing is deeply moving, inspiring and perfect for the song! Biggest Respect to you and the whole team! 😎🎹🩵

Wonderful celebratory mood!  Great contributions from all!   @josh-clary-1 – @texmex-shaman  @thebeautifuldark  @thebeautifuldark

Hey JJ man, I feel like you're the unsung hero of this one. Your synth really establishes the entire vibe of the song. Without you, it would sound very stark and empty. Artur always serves us up some fun, doesn't he? Hey brother man, it is certainly always a hoot getting to make music with you!

Well, listening to this song, I feel the same way you do. We all come from the same cradle and we all live in the same House. Let's love one another   without jealousy, without hatred, and without other petty things that pollute our lives. As for the music, you've created another gem, my friends. I love the nod to The Police.

As a kid with a unique last name I’ve always wanted to write create my own Waltz piece..
Jodi (my wife) said it sounds like a music box so with a comment like that ..my work is done 😂

海と波がテーマのギターインストです🎸

I mixed this right after we played in the studio, but I think my ears were shot. That's why I remixed it. (Sep. 14, JST)

ギターを演奏した直後にミックスしたんですけど、ギターアンプの音圧感に耳が慣れてしまっていたようで、ちょっと変なミックスしてたので、リミックスしました（9月14日）

Bright Eyes  ft. CHIARA

Wake up
Release
Feel the ease

Give the best
The rest
You'll see

A New Nay, A Clear Mind
A New Nay, A Clear Mind

Make your coffee
Get comfortable
Sit back
Relax
Let the world
Get back on track

Write it now
Write it smooth
Let yourself
Feel the room

A New Nay, A Clear Mind
A New Nay, A Clear Mind

Forgive yesterday
Today is here
It's a new day
So stay clear

Give the best
The rest
You'll see

A New Nay, A Clear Mind

They say that life is a test but not everyone’s dealt the same hand
Some are born into privilege, while others struggle through quicksand
We play the cards we’re dealt as we try to find our way,
Doing our best to keep our heads above water as we go about each day.
People born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they’re rich and the die is cast
Other’s get a wooden spoon, which the termites eat, and it’s struggle not to finish last
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to put a smile on your face
When the game is rigged and you can’t even get to first base.
How many billions do you have to accumulate before you’re just running up the score
At what point do you decide that you don’t need anymore
Telling rags-to-riches stories, so the common man believes it’s true,
“Keep those taxes off the billionaires cause someday that might be you.”
 People born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they’re rich and the die is cast
Other’s get a wooden spoon, which the termites eat, and it’s struggle not to finish last
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to put a smile on your face
When the game is rigged and you can’t even get to first base.
 Politicians smiling and acting like they share your blues,
But they’d collapse in a minute trying to walk a mile in your shoes.
Lottery tickets selling hope, though the odds are that you’ll never win
You’ve got a better chance of being struck by lightning than ever cashing in.
You’ll be paying off those loans for the rest of your life from that useless college degree
As the corporations implement AI trying their best to replace you and me
 The universe is billions of years old; we come and go in a flash.
We spend our short lives obsessing over cash.
 People born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they’re rich and the die is cast
Other’s get a wooden spoon, which the termites eat, and it’s struggle not to finish last
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to put a smile on your face
When the game is rigged and you can’t even get to first base.

Life Is a Test

Ride with me to Galveston
with the windows rolled down
Ride with me to Galveston
with the windows rolled down
Ride with me to Galveston
let's leave this town

we are going
we are going to
have families of our own
we all know
we all know it
that this is the last hurrah
we are going 
to have families of our own

ride with me to Galveston
with the windows rolled down
ride with me to Galveston
with the windows rolled down
ride with me to Galveston
let's leave this town

Galveston

This little melody is a quiet tribute to the forgotten craftspeople of the past. It speaks to the slow, steady tempo and the sad, wistful mood. 

My ancestor Samuel Björklund (Bircklenius) was a weaver in Turku 1752-1802.

Story about Samuel and weaving industry here (at the end of the page): https://www-sssry-fi.translate.goog/artikkeli.htm?_x_tr_sl=fi&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp&sn=342


The Artisan's Requiem

Cast of Characters:

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – Yamaha Genos 2 Synthesizer
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric giutar, production, mix, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- ovation acoustic guitar, vocals, and lyrics

This song began in Artur's jam room at his house, where he creates all of his amazing music on his Fender Jaguar, which is perfect for the surf sound, at which he's a master. He shared it with Josh, who shared it with the group.
  Before Josh could lay down a bass part to it, though, JJ came up with his elegantly moody synth and laid it down. The rhythm section, Josh and Ken, then did their usual dance, dialing it in with some back and forth. Stephen was next in line, adding a subtle duet with Artur's chords. Tez then played the ethereal lead throughout most of it. Stephen, after it was pretty much laid down, came through with the ripping wah solo towards the end.
  Once the music was all taken care of, Carl came up with some great lyrics for it, and sang them, as the newest member of the group. He also laid down an accompanying acoustic rhythm guitar part, too. After Carl did his thing, we turned it over to Stephen for a mix, which he did with his professional skill set.
  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock tunes Artur has shared with Eclectic Collective. If you dig the sound, he has plenty more great ones on his page, which are worth checking out, too. We tried to do this with a little nod to The Police, the band, not the profession. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. Thanks for listening.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Who said we're different
We got our genes and our names
One human mission
Heart fused like fission
Real collective brains

Pure pine for pure
Pleased though holds hands
Reel in one love
Filter for our sands

I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue
I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you
