The Clown

Vintage styled Rock Soul song about the importance of people communicating and relating. Features a strong lead vocal, some tasty guitar playing and nice horn arrangement.

Sometimes it seems that this whole town 
Is a study in shades of grey
Can’t always see what led us here
Man on the street 
He says, “Now where is hope?”
Is it down for the count or is this its last stop?
May he still be around whenever fortune knocks
What I heard him say is
Away with just you, away with just me
Let’s start talking more about us and we
Because life is too short
Not to tell you what I want
Let’s start talking more about us and we

Cold winter time, we stay indoors
And try to pass the time
You in your room, and me in mine
Anything new might be a relief
Any change in the weather’s got me shaking like a leaf
The future still looks bright babe
But only if
We stop and take the time
Say away with just you
Away with just me
Let’s start talking more about us and we
‘Cause life is too short
And for what it’s worth
I’d like to see a bit more of us and we

Even gets lonely for a loner
Can’t share what she’s seen with anyone
Oh baby is it any wonder?
That the things that we say they're just scars on our tongue
When everybody’s all for one instead of one for everyone

Sometimes it seems we’re living in a world
Of mirrors and windows closed
How did we get so damn old?
I sure miss the feeling of an innocent sound
Running barefoot in the sun watching the rain falling down
It was so easy then – why not now?
What I want to say is
Away with just you, away with just me
Let’s start talking more about us and we
‘Cause life is too short, to spend it in this rut
Let’s start talking more about us and we
Away with just you, away with just me
Let’s start talking more about us and we
‘Cause life is too short, not to tell you what I want
Let’s start talking more about us and we
Let’s start talking more, let’s start talking more…
Let’s start talking more about us and we

Us And We

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, and seed idea
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar, production, and mix
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
The Eclectic Collective -- composition
 
This song started with JJ during one of his late Saturday night composition sessions, where he came up with the idea on his synth. He laid down some great organ and electric piano for the rest of us to play with. Ken was first up with his lively, raucous drums. He and I did our back and forth with the rhythm section until it was solid, though. Then Stephen laid in his dirty, rawkin' rhythm guitar to give it an extra foundation. Finally, Tez put the icing on the cake with his monster soloing throughout. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer. In this case, Tez did the honors in a very expert manner. We wanted Stephen (Texmex Shaman) on this, too, of course, but he is just now getting settled into his new abode, and was in flux while we were making this one. He'll be back with The Eclectic Collective next week, though. 
  This is an example of Eclectic Collective teamwork. It came together relatively quickly, which means we were all having fun doing it. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Avalanche (The Eclectic Collective)

[intro]  

[verse 1 - rap]  
Stop the fight, let go the reins,  
Accept the light, accept the rain.  
The world moves on in its own flow,  
Find peace in what we cannot know.  
Not what we want, but what will be,  
Freedom found in this release.  
To wish for life as it unfolds,  
In calm acceptance, courage holds.

[pre-chorus]  
Through every wave, find steady ground,  
In what is real, true peace is found.

[chorus]  
As it comes, we let it be,  
Strength in calm, a soul set free.  
No need to bend, no need to fight,  
In harmony, we find the light.

[verse 2 - rap]  
No need to chase what can’t be held,  
No need to shape what life has spelled.  
When we resist, we find our chains,  
But peace in flow releases pain.  
To wish for life as it appears,  
That’s where we conquer all our fears.  
The world unfolds, we let it stay,  
In trust we find another way.

[pre-chorus]  
Through every wave, find steady ground,  
In what is real, true peace is found.

[chorus]  
As it comes, we let it be,  
Strength in calm, a soul set free.  
No need to bend, no need to fight,  
In harmony, we find the light.

[bridge]  
The path, it turns, as life will show,  
Let go the want, let wisdom grow.  
To face the truth, to hold it near,  
In peace we walk, release the fear.

[chorus]  
As it comes, we let it be,  
Strength in calm, a soul set free.  
No need to bend, no need to fight,  
In harmony, we find the light.

[outro]  
In calm acceptance, our hearts align,  
With peace inside, our spirits shine.

As It Comes

[intro]  

[verse 1 - rap]  
Desires pull us from the light,  
Wanting more in endless sight.  
But here we stand in what we own,  
The dreams we held, now flesh and bone.  
What we have was once our dream,  
The present’s strength, a steady beam.  
To let it slip, to let it fall,  
Is to lose the gift we hold for all.

[pre-chorus]  
In what we have, the light remains,  
Gratitude breaks the desire's chains.

[chorus]  
Hold the present, fierce and true,  
Every gift we see anew.  
What once was hope, is now our own,  
The seeds of peace, our lives have grown.

[verse 2 - rap]  
What’s out of reach won’t make us whole,  
In here and now, we find our goal.  
Remember what we hoped to gain,  
What we hold now was once our aim.  
Grateful eyes, no need to roam,  
The present here, our steady home.  
To love the gift that life has laid,  
In gratitude, the fears will fade.

[pre-chorus]  
In what we have, the light remains,  
Gratitude breaks the desire's chains.

[chorus]  
Hold the present, fierce and true,  
Every gift we see anew.  
What once was hope, is now our own,  
The seeds of peace, our lives have grown.

[bridge]  
No need for more, no need for less,  
In every breath, a chance to bless.  
The dreams we had, they’re here, they stay,  
In the present’s light, we find our way.

[chorus]  
Hold the present, fierce and true,  
Every gift we see anew.  
What once was hope, is now our own,  
The seeds of peace, our lives have grown.

[outro]  
In gratitude, the heart finds peace,  
Through what we have, all fears release.

Hold the Present

Auguries of Innocence: By William Blake

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower 
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand 
And Eternity in an hour...
