Expérience Cosmique

These broken street lights used to bring me down
Crawling outta bars at night in that lonely town
Those days have faded but they once were new
Is it the life that you’re still living through?

Now I’m lost down memory road
And I dont want to be there anymore
Its a long way down that road
But I need to let it go

Your stairs are worn and now they’re crumbling away
Never pick up the phone anymore when you’re calling these days
We were always told we acted the same way
But the further I went the further I wanted to change

I am lost down memory road
And I dont want to go here anymore
Its been long way down that road
But I need to let it go

Need to let go

I was raised to see the world the way my father thought it should be
And that world turned his heart into a dark and raging sea
The last time I saw your face it was like it was fading to blue
I can’t end up like him and I’ll can’t end up like you

All those sunny thoughts started turning grey
people drifted into life only to slip away
When I was young I wished my home would never change
Now I’m old and never go because its always the same

I am lost down memory road
And I dont want to go here anymore
Its been long way down that road
But I need to let it go

Memory Road

This is a love song written about Josh's favorite band, Phish. He came up with the chords on his acoustic guitar, and shared it with the group. This was written with Beck in mind, though, too, as he knew she'd be contributing her magic to this one, too. Even when it was just the acoustic guitar set to a looper beat, she came up with many of the parts you hear throughout. Although, she also readjusted and redid a lot of it, too, throughout the process. Ken was the next piece of the puzzle to jump in. He laid down his perfect drums beats to it in only one or two tries, giving it the groove it needed. After Ken laid down the beat, that allowed Josh to add his bass to the mix, too. It was almost done musically, but it needed a lead guitar, which Josh also put in there. Before it was finished, though, JJ weighed in with his clever organ, which can be heard from about 2:30 on. When it was all wrapped up musically, Josh also sang his lyrics, which are written from the perspective of two Phish heads conversing about the imminent Phish show, which is always a big, exciting event. 
  Josh has seen almost 70 Phish shows in his life, and he hopes his adoration for the band is evident in this song. This is the second song Eclectic Collective have done with Beck, and we all hope for many more, too. She's a fantastic musician, with a wonderfully deep well of creativity. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Are you gonna meet me at the show tonight
Am I gonna see you at the show?
What songs do you think they’ll play tonight?
I’ve been waiting all year to go

You should check out last night’s set list
The show was packed with killer songs
Is there any one that you’ve been chasing?
I love it when the crowd all sings along
 
Trey’s been stirring up all the great jams
Page rules the keyboards from his throne
Mike digs the groove so deep and he stands
On Fishman’s beats that shake our bones
 
Hope you have your ticket for the show tonight
I know these days they’re on our phones
At least now about grass there’s no fight
Light a joint on up the hill and feel at home

Some spun wook is always tripping
Looking for profundity in all the songs
Every now and then they have to just stop spinning 
Stare at the lights, and sing along

So I know we’ll hear some great things tonight
Every time I go, my mind gets blown
After in the lot I know I’ll eat a grilled cheese, 
Suck on a balloon, then drive on home

lyrics

You feel that itch 
I know you do
I can feel it too
We should be talking in the sun
Not in the night when things are dark

You feel that itch I know you do
Darling, I want to be next to you
Like the way it was when we were young and free

Don't worry 
Don't worry bout me
Don't worry 
Don't worry bout me
Cuz I worry bout you
Yes I do
You know I do

I see the looks they give me
The pity 
but i know it's true
They don't need to worry bout me
They should worry bout you
Worry bout you
They should worry bout you

They should worry bout you
Worry bout you
They should worry bout you

Worry Bout You

Epilogue to a fantasy adventure

A note and a Key

Sometimes You Just Feel It

The Lion's Whisker is an Ethiopian folktale about a woman who wants to
gain the love of her stepson, who is angry and distant. A village shaman
tells her to have the boys love he can make a magic potion but he needs
a lion's whisker. The woman agrees to get the whisker and spends
months getting a lion to trust her. Once she returns with the whisker the
shaman explains that there is no magic potion. The true magic is
patience and trust. If she can use the same patience she had with the
lion with her stepson she will succeed.

 This song features Manuel Trabucco on the soprano sax and base solo by Patricio Pietrek on the
Warwick thumb bass.

Never Let You Go (Monitor Mix)

“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus.

The music industry (like many things) has changed greatly since I bought my first 45 record (Green Eyed Lady) at my hometown record shop in 1970. It would be very easy to lament over these changes (and I have.) However, with change comes new opportunities, and thanks to websites/apps like Soundcloud we musicians and composers have the opportunity to to be heard as never before. So thank you Soundcloud and thank you for visiting my page. - Jim Combs
