Lyrics
So who holds a key to feel 
their happy inside
and must madness always win 
when sanity slides
if true beauty’s only measured 
by the ugliest stares
why’d you still need to hear 
their magic three words
when holding out for a change 
won’t make a new you
guess maybe the smartest money’s 
still on the biggest fool
cos our wasted day weighs more 
every single year
and in the end you’ll cry drown 
your regretful dry tears

BUT I FOUND BLISS IN IGNORANCE 
THE MORE I SEE THE LESS I WANNA KNOW
TELL ME A STORY AND MAKE IT REAL
SELL ME A STORY JUST MAKE ME FEEL
COS I’M SICK OF LIVING THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS
THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS THROUGH THESE REPEATS
I’M SICK OF LIVING THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS
THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS IT’S ENDLESS REPEAT

Now go find your two reasons 
that get you through
cos nobody’s gonna save you 
from the ghosts of you
so take those chances to make
your feel real today
cos waiting round for forever 
it’s just so passe
and stop blaming tomorrow 
for choices never made
you never thought you’d made

BUT I FOUND BLISS IN IGNORANCE 
THE MORE I SEE THE LESS I WANNA KNOW
TELL ME A STORY AND MAKE IT REAL
SELL ME A STORY JUST MAKE ME FEEL
COS I’M SICK OF LIVING THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS
THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS THROUGH THESE REPEATS
I’M SICK OF LIVING THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS
THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS THROUGH THESE REPEATS
YEAH I’M SICK OF LIVING THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS
THROUGH THESE REPEAT SHOWS ON ENDLESS REPEAT
I’M SO TIRED OF GIVING IN ENDLESS REPEAT
TO GHOSTS THAT KEEP LIVING ON ENDLESS REPEAT
WITH THE MONEY AND POWER REPEATIN REPEATS
RULE THE MEN OF THE HOUR DEFENDING REPEATS
WHILE PEACE CIRCLES VICTIMS IN ENDLESS REPEAT
OUR SHOCK FACTORS DIE IN BIG SCREEN REPEATS
AS WARS AND THEIR SYSTEMS REPEAT AND REPEAT
SO INNOCENCE CAN DIE AS HISTORY REPEATS
INNOCENCE DIES ON ENDLESS REPEAT
INNOCENTS DIE IN ENDLESS REPEATS
INNOCENCE DIES ON ENDLESS REPEAT
INNOCENTS DIE IN ENDLESS REPEATS
THEIR INNOCENCE IS DYING
OUR INNOCENCE IS DYING
INNOCENTS ARE DYING
THE INNOCENCE OF DYING


The Innocence of Dying (Endless Repeats)

Beautiful Love song  ! ...
Traduction paroles en Français et Anglais  : 
 Cet après midi d'été sans hésitation,
 Entre rires et regards je me suis perdu.
 Dans tes yeux le monde est resté,
 Mon amour sera toujours toi

 Avec les étoiles, on danse sans s'arrêter,
 Ta main dans la mienne
 je n'ai pas besoin de plus,
 Le ciel s'illumine quand tu es là,
 Dans tes lèvres j'ai trouvé ma vie.

 Il n'y a rien de plus que je puisse demander,
 Ton amour est tout ce que je veux ressentir.
 Dans mes rêves... Il y a toujours toi,  
mon amour,  Ma grande vertu

 À chaque étape
 Je veux être à tes côtés.
 Tu es la mélodie qui me fait chanter, 
 avec ton rire mes chagrins s'en vont
 mon amour...
 Tu es mon printemps

 Il n'y a rien de plus que je puisse demander
 Ton amour est tout ce que je veux ressentir
 Dans mes rêves... Il y a toujours toi
 mon amour, Ma grande vertu. 

 Dans tes bras
 J'ai trouvé ma paix
 Aucune tempête ne peut nous séparer
 tu es mon soleil, mon guide, ma vérité,
 mon amour, ma sincérité.

That summer afternoon, without hesitation,
Between laughter and glances, I lost myself.
In your eyes, the world remained,
My love will always be you.

With the stars, we dance without stopping,
Your hand in mine, I don't need more.
The sky lights up when you're there.
In your lips, I found my life.

There's nothing more I can ask for.
Your love is all I want to feel.
In my dreams... There's always you,
my love, My great virtue.

At every step,
I want to be by your side.
You are the melody that makes me sing,
with your laughter, my sorrows disappear.
My love...
You are my spring.

There's nothing more I can ask for.
Your love is all I want to feel.
In my dreams... There's always you,
my love, My great virtue.

In your arms
I have found my peace
No storm can separate us
You are my sun, my guide, my truth,
my love, my sincerity

El Amor Mio 🌸

Welcome to my latest trilogy based on the famous children’s novel, ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ This is the second track in the series. I hope you enjoy it.

Part Two:
It was during Charles' time at Christ Church in Oxford that he befriended the Dean, Henry Liddell, along with his wife, Lorina, and their three children, Lorina, Edith, and Alice. On 4th July 1862, during a family rowing trip, he told a simple story to Alice. She begged him to write it down. In November 1864, he presented her with a handwritten, illustrated manuscript entitled ‘Alice's Adventures Under Ground.’ Though it’s assumed that Alice Liddell was his ‘little heroine’ in the book, Charles later denied that it was based on any real child. Whatever the truth behind the story, the book was his greatest and best-loved literary success. 
Trivia: Charles is thought to have drawn inspiration for the March Hare character from the common English idiom "mad as a March hare", a phrase dating back to the 16th century. It referred to the erratic behaviour that hares exhibit during their breeding season in the spring, particularly early in the season when females fend off overly eager males.
Part 3 of his story follows on the third and final track in the trilogy…

Alice No. 02 (Trilogy)

Dedicated to so many man and women of courage, trying to make this world a better place.

JUST SAY NO

I can't live without me,
without the hard decisions,
the crucial moments
defining who I am.

There are so many crossroads,
so many fights inside me
that take me over.
So now I take a stand.
We all need to take a stand.

I say no, I say no.
I´ll keep my promises.
I say no, I say no.
Beyond convenient lies,
I say no, I say no.
Facing corruption
I must say no, say no.
At gunpoint shoutings
I still say no, say no.
Against oppression bars
I say no, I say no.

Will you remember
what I stood for?
I said no! 
Because of honour
let us try to be good
and fight for decency.

I can't live without me,
without the hard decisions,
the crucial values
defining what is me,
defining where we stand.

No One's Singing Today  (Cover)

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, composition
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — drums and percussion
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- clavinet, VST saxophone solo, VST horns, effects, production editing
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster HHS electric guitrar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song began back at the beginning of the summer, when Josh was messing around on his electric piano and found a structure to which to add his bass. As soon as he opened the project to the rest of Eclectic Collective, JJ jumped right in, adding his thrilling organ and ethereal background synth. Thus, Josh dropped his original e. piano part in favor of JJ's new parts. Ken was next up, adding the drums in reverse order from how he and Josh usually do it. Ken is very skilled at being able to add drums to a pre-existing bass line, which he displays in here. He also added the clever auxilary percussion you hear throughout. Mark was next to the trough, adding his funky clavinet, as well as his sax solo you hear lighting it up in there. He also added some well composed horns toward the end, not to be confused with JJ's synth. 
  Then it was time for the guitarists to do their thing. Stephen added the strong, melodic solos in the first two breaks with his guitar and wah pedal. After Tez added his thrilling solos at the end, Stephen went back in and added the funky rhythm guitar part. Tez also added the funky guitar riffs throughout the verses.
  All that was left was to get Carl in on the action, as he is the newest core member of Eclectic Collective. He wrote a poem and sung it in his signature, wild style for us.
  This is Eclectic Collective at its almost full strength, pulling six musicians from two different continents and four different countries together to create a song. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
   On a side note, this will be Eclectic Collective's last song for two weeks. As most of you know, we release a song every Thursday at midnight. Due to vacation and travel at the end of summer, we'll be skipping  next Friday, the 15th, but should be returning the following Friday, the 22nd. We may also put something out this coming Tuesday, the 12th, so please stay tuned. Can't thank enough those of you who tune in regularly and support us every week. 
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
Hey Human
It's official
The get down on fire funk
Future sizzle
All members agree
Gotta collect that love
Then give it back and well, we see
Fuel for that musical party

Initition ceremony
Transcontinental spanking machine
Uh oh it's a musical tri sexual
Try anything that melody mentioning
Do it for the song
We gonna right some wrong
Rolling rhythm unkown
The human touch
The get down

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo

Aw man, I'm feeling back tingle
Lads, go tell Fiona Apple I'm single
Llanspych, nudge PJ Harvey
Jamming that genius soul new wave!

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music

Ooo Ooo

Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
Flying musical J's
Aw man it's Mike like dunk
Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
To musical 24
You get a song
Drained 81 now on this floor

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music, keep that campfire warm
The get down
Love legends loud
Rest in peace good Kobe one
This one's for you
Good G.O.A.T of stun!

The Get Down-Eclectic Collective/ft The Beautiful Dark

I don't know who I am
I don't know where I am
It's one AM and I want you
I don't know what I am
I don't know if I am
It's one AM and I want you
You're the arms that don't want me
You're the eyes that haunt me
You were taken from me in my infancy
Now I want you back
I want you back
I don't know a thing about
I'm filled with doubt
It's one AM and I want you
Between heaven and hell
I don't know where you dwell
It's one AM and I want you
Why do you why do you why do you why do you torment me
What did I ever do to you
What do you what do you what do you what do you want from me
Why won't you let me be, let me be
I'm walking a dangerous street
Unfamiliar to me
It's one AM and I want you
I can hear your laughter
I'll never have you
It's one AM and I want you
Like this...
I don't know who I am
I don't know where I am
But it's one AM and I want you
I don't know what I am
I don't know if I am
It's one AM and I want you
It's one AM and I want you

One AM
