Hope is a you and hope never die
(希望はあなたであり、希望は決して死ぬことはない)

Hope is a good thing, maybe even the best of things, and good things never die.
American film「The Shawshank Redemption」it is a quote that appears in.i got an idea from those words.

（『希望とは良いもので、恐らく一番のものだ。そして、良いものは決してなくなることは無い』アメリカ映画「ショーシャンクの空に」に登場する名言です。その言葉から着想を得ました）

Themes of Illusion: The "fool's paradise" symbolizes a place where people engage in joyful activities like singing and dancing, but it also suggests a lack of awareness about the complexities of life. It reflects a kind of bliss that can be superficial.
Joy vs. Reflection: The lyrics illustrate moments of laughter and pleasure, but these are often contrasted with deeper thoughts and reflections. This suggests that while one might enjoy life’s fleeting joys, there's an awareness of the underlying pain or emptiness.
Innocence and Tolerance: The line about those "void of tolerance" implies that without acceptance and understanding, one cannot appreciate innocence or the richness of experience. This reflects a broader commentary on human nature and social dynamics.
Madame Tussaud Imagery: The references to Madame Tussaud evoke the idea of preserving moments (like wax figures) while also highlighting the transient nature of life and joy. The figures may appear lively, but they are ultimately still and silent, reflecting the sorrow that can accompany laughter.
Dance and Music: The repeated calls to "sing and dance" emphasize the importance of celebration, even in the face of life's challenges. It acknowledges the beauty in music and movement while recognizing that these moments may be tinged with sadness or unanswered questions.
Overall, the song invites listeners to reflect on the balance between joy and sorrow, encouraging an appreciation for life’s complexities while acknowledging the inevitability of pain.

This song began with David, who wrote it on the guitar, synth, and bass over a programmed beat he created. He and Josh met more than two months ago and decided to do a collaboration, based on mutual enjoyment of and respect for each other's music. Dave had this song pretty much fleshed out, although it was still a skeleton when he offered it to Josh, who, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. 
  
Dave asked us all to compose our own parts for the song, so we all got to work right away doing that. We all realized that the first order of business would be to get a real beat on this, so Ken accomplished that task with some dynamic, Eastern inspired drums and percussion, which he plays throughout the song. JJ then stepped in and added his best eastern flute magic. Stephen was next with the perfect-vibe sitar you hear in the first two sections. 
  
Josh came next to add his five-string fretless bass to the mix, augmenting David's high, staccato bass with his deep, low tone bass. Then, for the third section, where David's Gilmore-esque guitar solo resides, Josh drops out, allowing for Dave's awesome bass playing in that section. However, Josh does come in again towards the end, in the final section, too. Also, in that section, Tez dropped an augmented, harmonic, electric fire, complementary guitar part. Then, David's frequent collaborator and friend Ron added some well blended, ethereal synth to the first section, too.
  
Once we had the instrumental parts pretty much laid down, we began to discuss getting a woman to sing on this, as David was inspired by The Great Gig in the Sky, by Pink Floyd, and we all agreed. Who we found to do it actually blew all of our minds. JJ, being familiar with her music, contacted Elpi first, and we were all lucky enough that she agreed to do it. Having heard Mediterranean music all her life in Greece, she tapped into what her husband said were her "ancient Greek roots," for her spectacular vocal performance. She finds all the modal notes and places them perfectly throughout her sections. 

  But before we were done, Mark came through with some really striking talking drum parts in the first two sections, too. Once we had everything in the can, David took over, both with some masterful editing and production, and with the balanced, dynamic mix. The mix was a formidable task, but he did it with considerable skill, also taking everyone's opinions into account, which is a talent in and of itself. When he was done with the mix, he turned it over to Stephen for the mastering, which the latter did to everyone's satisfaction, as always.
  
This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with David, Elpi, and Ron, and we all hope it's the first of many, as we welcome them into the EC family. They all have some wonderful music on their pages, too, so do yourself a favor and check out all of them, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Unreality

Part of a CD project with Cutts Cook / Ruffcut Studio. Bare bones writing demos were taken into the studio and produced By Karl Cutruff. It was a while ago.. it really was a gift to be able to work with Karl. we were both going through a lot personally at the time. Its a wonder how tracks like this came out of those truly hard times. The record " Always a good Time " was never released... I am thinking about it now... 

The song itself was written during the Bush Bailouts... dastardly deeds by politicians ruining our lives.. still relevant today.

The Dow is sinking..yeah so am I
aint no use for me to sit and cry
Bailin out the big three well thats insanity
give that thirty billion bucks to me
A top executive I may not be..
one step from the skids and poverty
I fire all the fat cats and send em back to school to learn their ABC's

On CNN they got the talking heads
and top advisors from the feds
economic masterminds with empty promises and fat behinds
talkin all slick and scholarly
Now I aint got no college degree
but I attended hard knock university
and if you cant cut the mustard 
its time to call it quits and find a different J.O.B

5 Wrongs dont make a right its pure simplicity
hit the road and dont come back
go find yourself a different J.O.B.

Political solutions they just make me sad
Im sick and tired of being had
uncle sam is dead and seeking retribution but hes haveing trouble gettin through the gates

They say that everyone deserves a second chance
philosophy like that is good and fair
but on that list of SOB's there aint a single first offender there

5 wrongs dont make a right its pure simplicity
hit the road and dont come back go find yourself a different J.O.B.

Always A Good Time

5 Wrongs

🎸🎯 RACCOON FUNK 'N' BLOCK 🎯🎸

In the jungle, late at night,
Raccoon and cat, what a funky sight,
Strings are strumming, extra alive,
Groovin' beats keep the vibe in stride.

"You're amazing," that's what they say,
Compliments come in the wildest way,
"I know a producer, a star-maker too,
With your groove, the sky's calling you."

But Raccoon's sharp, ain't no foolin' here,
Spammers slide in, but he’s got no fear,
"Hey, your aunt said you’re the best of late,"
Blockin' those fakes, he’s sealing their fate.

"You're amazing," that's what they say,
Compliments come in the wildest way,
"I know a producer, a star-maker too,
With your groove, the sky's calling you."

Funny vibes, but raccoon won’t fall,
Spammers lined up, he’s blocking them all,
"Who's next?" he smirks, with a sly little grin,
This funky jungle is where he’ll win.

"You're amazing," that's what they say,
Compliments come in the wildest way,
"I know a producer, a star-maker too,
With your groove, the sky's calling you."

In the jungle, the rhythm flows,
Raccoon and cat, the legend grows,
Funky beats that light the night,
Their tunes echo, feelin' so right.
