Verse 1]
Wir brauchten früher keine große Reise
Wir wurden braun auf Borkum und auf Sylt
Doch heute sind die Braunen nur noch Weiße
Denn hier wird man ja doch nur tiefgekühlt
Ja früher gab's noch Hitzefrei
Das Freibad war schon auf im Mai
Ich saß bis in die Nacht vor unserem Haus
Da hatten wir noch Sonnenbrand
Und Riesenquallen an dem Strand
Und Eis und jeder Schutzmann zog die Jacke aus

[Chorus]
Wann wird's mal wieder richtig Sommer
Ein Sommer wie er früher einmal war?
Ja mit Sonnenschein von Juni bis September
Und nicht so nass und so sibirisch wie im letzten Jahr

[Verse 2]
Und was wir da für Hitzewellen hatten –
Pulloverfabrikanten gingen ein –
Da gab es bis zu vierzig Grad im Schatten
Wir mussten mit dem Wasser sparsam sein
Die Sonne knallte ins Gesicht
Da brauchte man die Sauna nicht
Ein Schaf war damals froh wenn man es schor
Es war hier wie in Afrika
Wer durfte machte FKK –
Doch heut', heut' summen alle Mücken laut im Chor

english:

Verse 1]
We didn't need a long journey back then.
We got tanned on Borkum and Sylt.
But today, the brown ones are only white.
Because here you just get frozen.
Yes, back then, there were still heat holidays.
The outdoor pool was already open in May.
I sat in front of our house until late into the night.
We still had sunburns.
And giant jellyfish on the beach.
And ice, and every police officer took off their jackets.

[Chorus]
When will it be truly summer again?
A summer like it used to be?
Yes, with sunshine from June to September
And not as wet and as Siberian as last year

[Verse 2]
And what heatwaves we had –
Sweater manufacturers went under –
It was up to 40 degrees in the shade
We had to be sparing with water
The sun beat down on our faces
There was no need for a sauna
Back then, a sheep was happy to be sheared
It was like Africa here
Those who were allowed to go nude –
But today, today, all the mosquitoes are buzzing loudly in unison

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

 This song is the fourth Carl has written and composed with a member of Eclectic Collective in mind. This time JJ is being honored, and we all agree that he deserves it, too. Carl is a wonderful singer, songwriter, composer, and musician, and we're all grateful that he's joined our collective. 

  Here's what Carl had to say about it. "The music for this was a personal song written to myself which I never really released as I was trying to say goodbye to my own ego in the song. From that point of view I have always seen the piece as a great bit of personal therapy for me. None of the original lyrics survived and JJ gets painted by the new words .. But I thought it would be nice to reuse the composition for this. There was no big reason for it only when I decided to start a 60bpm song for JJ on piano .. I started playing Goodbye Ego and the rest is history..."

  We tackled this song like we would any other, though. Mark was first up on this, adding his VST magic in the form of a Chinese gong, as well as the cello you hear throughout. The subject of our adulation came next, with JJ adding not only his hot, yet minimal Latin percussion and essential piano, but moody synth, as well. Ken added his spicy drums after that, and once they were down, Josh jumped in with his four string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Josh also added the vocal chant at the end.

  All that was left was for Stephen to mix it all down for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 

  As stated above, this is a continuation of our songs about us. Hope no one thinks it's arrogant. When Carl presents us with these little treasures, it's hard not to run with them, though. Always a ton of fun to make music together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.


Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Praying hands
Whatever cause
Once our greater good not lost
Bored children create their fun
We shelve French horn for this fine one
"Nice one lads" We read it all!
Vacation taken
To JJ calls
Neighbour to good Mickey Moore
Find Michigan piano pure

JJ calls
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us

Down the road city of cars
To Howell front deck
Dad and Guitars
We jam that love then tell the world
Love and service human highway knurled
Good bi-product of happiness sought
With Croatian fun to cloud we court

Terrell Terminator in Jungle
Predator for good
Keys like Mr Bungle
Faith in more like we could
He Thanks you
It's lifestyle
Built from a porch
Good collective friend
Keep lighting that torch

Some moments sealed, marked and moulded
Pure intention
Dark blindfolded
Howl from human to Howell good soul
Keyed keystone as collective role

JJ calls
Darkness falls
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
JJ calls

JJ calls
Just for us

Hypocrisy – the highest virtue on Planet Hypokrit // Listing Darkness Mix

When you have found every key and unlocked every secret—When you have embraced your darkness and allowed your light to shine, protected and pure—Then, and only then, can you become one with the universe. And when that union occurs, you will be met by rain. Not ordinary rain, but droplets of cosmic blessing—A sacred downpour from the heart of existence itself.

Raindrops

Sometimes it feels like it's never going to end.

Stop the Ride (I wanna get off)

Stop The Ride (I wanna get off)

Nuns saying Hail Marys, a preacher exorcising demons, a woman speaking in tongues, a child saying prayers with his mommy, and a talking teddy bear that recites the "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayer.  Still though, pretty dark.  Dark music for dark times.

Sort of an electronic remix of Dark was the Night by Blind Willie Johson...the quintessential blues song by the quintessential blues man.  It also happens to be one of the songs chosen by Carl Sagan for the golden record on the Voyager space craft, which has now left our solar system and is cruising through interstellar space...which is pretty cool, I think.

Dark Was the Night

My little nickname for the dark entity that invades my mind without cause or reason every few weeks or so. I just can't seem to keep him away.  I wish I could blame it on something, but I can't blame  it on anything but just good old universal malevolence.  It's all around us.  
I wish it would stop. 
It'll never stop.

Are you there, God? It's me, J.M.
