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.

Lyrics - 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 thought 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

I Feel the Same as You [Eclectic Collective & Surfers Like Us]

P-Stop Loafing Around

Per concludere ho scambiato fra loro le parti iniziali della mano sinistra e della mano destra.

To conclude I swapped the initial parts of the left hand and the right hand.

Ho cambiato il titolo iniziale in:
"Toccata pantonale senza respiro"
da  "Toccata pantonale senza sosta".

I changed the original title to:
"Pantonal Toccata without breath"
from "Pantonal Toccata without pause".

Toccata pantonale senza sosta

"Toccata" pantonale senza respiro (Pantonal "Toccata" without breath)

Five Years

Prologue to a fantasy adventure

une libre interprétation d'un magnifique poème de Pierre Reverdy intitulé : Matin
PAROLES
Sur l’oreiller
Front rougissant
Tête penchée
Demain passe derrière
Et je suis en chemin
 Déjà
Quelqu’un s’en va
Pour survivre à la nuit
L’oiseau vibre comme un réveil.

Dans le rideau
Rayon emprisonné
La guêpe a quitté son corset
La dame a mis ses bracelets
La baignoire est pleine
 De la mer

Auréolée
 La tête aux cheveux de satin
 Un doigt levé
 Une pensée
Comment ne pouvez-vous l’entendre ?

LYRICS
MORNING

On the pillow
Blushing forehead
Head Tilted
Tomorrow passes behind
And I'm on my way
 Already
Someone is leaving
To survive the night
The bird vibrates like an alarm clock.

In the curtain
Imprisoned Ray
The wasp has left its corset
The lady has put on her bracelets
The bathtub is full
 From the sea

Haloed
 The head with satin hair
 A finger raised
 A thought
How can you not hear it?

Matin

Lilac in the Desert

[Verse 1]
This age has melted me down
but left my breath behind—
youth did not kill me
yet its death stayed inside

Lilac I drifted far
shadow on a page of sky—
if love had its time
why did it wait to arrive

[Pre-Chorus]
I carried sparks in the soil
cried to the heavens above—
Every wound in my palm
was a prayer was a love

[Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
you led me where I came

[Verse 2]
I would not speak too soon
my tongue rusted with grief—
the chance of mistakes
the inheritance of belief
Adam's fate was in me
trembling body set alight
thousands of sparks
plunged deep into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
I drank the cloud's essence
without breaking its skin—
Sweat and questions poured
where has it carried man in

[Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
you led me where I came

[Bridge]
There is a fountain soiled and scarred
my reflection in my hand
I said 'it doesn't matter'
yet I was searching for a stand

The city's fire still burning
its wound still speaks in me
I walked on face bent forward
toward a summer I can't see

[Final Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
I walk and still I came

[Outro]
Lilac oh lilac
I walk on

Lilac in the Desert

men are coming from Mars

Löse dich von mir

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."
