Cast of characters: 

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar

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

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, electric piano, and synth

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 

 This song is the brainchild of Artur, who composed it on his guitar perfectly for collaboration, and presented it to us with his vision for the entire sound. Ken went first, of course, adding his signature rocking beat to the song. Josh went next, as soon as Ken had laid down the drums, adding his four string fretless bass sound to fill out the rhythm section. 
  Tez came along soon after, adding some foundational ornamentation with his guitar. JJ jumped in right after Tez, and laid in the majestic organ, riffing electric piano, and subtle synth you hear throughout. Finally, Stephen laid his guitar in there, too, which can be heard as a fiery melodic line running throughout. At Artur's suggestion, he also added some amazing, trippy sitar in a couple of spots, too.
  Once all the tracks were laid down, Stephen came through with his always skillful mix. This makes almost an album worth of material that The Eclectic Collective has created from Artur's ideas. We're always excited when he drops a new one in our laps. He wrote this on a sweet rainy day in the Polish summer. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
  
  We all appreciate your support, and encourage you to share this song if you've read the whole way down to the bottom here

Sweet Rainy Day-Eclectic Collective

Chorus

This isn't the end
it's a new beginning 
you haven't lost
you've won
A brand new start 
An open door
to more 
Can you see it

Bridge

Open the door 
see what's waiting 
on the other side
Open the door
you won't regret 
unless you don't try 

vs 1
Letting go
of what you thought 
it would be like 
is never easy
walking away
from what thought 
you set in motion
that fell apart 
along the way
but what you gained
in believing 
something better
would come to be
you sparked 
where you're going 
keep going, you'll see

vs 2
It's been a
long time coming
but your new life
is waiting for you
you've reached 
so many 
pivotal moments
that have gotten
you here
don't you
dare stop
don't you dare
give up
you've got it in you
to go 
way farther
than this
to reach that goal
that finish line


Open Door

Original lyrics by JJ Terrell:
That fog around the mountain

is getting set to rise

pulling these wheels on down the road lord

is pulling my heart right out

If you really love someone now

wouldn't you want it to be a hundred to none?

instead of traveling around with a scorecard by your side

ooooh oh yeah

gonna set you free

ooooh, oh yeah

gonna leave you be
that fog around the mountain
it's like a dream
my heart, it has soon forgotten
a rolling stone like me

looking down that dusty road
sun's beatin' down

pulling these wheels on down the road lord
has got me down
until I see you again.

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."
