Has Mr. T already annexed some heaven spots to the U.S? 😳 Have oil and rare earths elements been found there? 🤔

Wonderful song with wonderful lyrics, Joe

Hey Joe. Yeah! This is absolutely fantastic! Love everything about this one! (especially that chorus melody and vocal harmonies!) Your songwriting is always excellent and engaging!   (music & lyrics)🍀 Biggest Respect, brother! 😎👌

Howdy Joe! How are you doing? I've got a lot of catching up to do here on SoundCloud! Great song with very pertinent lyrics for these troubled times! I don't think there will be a Heaven in 2025, maybe Hades 2025! I hope you're right! Great job!👍😎✌🏼

Great one, lyrics are fantastic, great song mate.

hey Joe you are right about the sentiment of this song however I am so angry...Make music not war!

lyrics

life is so short
why would leave me 
life is so short
it's time bereave
life is so short
why do you insist
on living without me

short, so short
it's napoleon 
it's napoleon
it's napoleon

life is so short
why would you waste your time
waste your time
waste your time without me

no more

life is so short

I decided to take another stab at creating a hopefully better sounding version of this song,  as it seems the message is relevant in these troubled times.  

I hope that heaven is a place where everyone can share the same space and  liberals and conservatives can exist in perfect harmony. Cause if you live a good life and you seal the deal and you end up in heaven how are you going to feel, if  when you get there there’s people who want to argue with you about politics
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree
***
Will you let it go or will you keep on fighting even after your first Saint Peter sighting, or will you check the TV to see if there’s CNN or Fox News in Heaven. They had to pry your gun from your cold dead hand but now that you’re a soul in a spiritual land, will you still demand your second amendment rights to protect yourself in heaven.
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree
*****
I hope that in in heaven you can eat real steak with a bunch of vegans eating meat that’s fake, as you pose for a photo with Jesus trying to re-enact that painting of the last supper.
If you bump into that undocumented guy who you sent back to his country will you look him in the eye. Will you tell he’s not welcome in the United States part of heaven?
***
All these people with extreme positions shouting to their hearts content
Like demented performance artists in a circus tent
They can try to push our buttons be we don’t have to let them
They can invite us to their party but we don’t have to show up.
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree

Heaven 2025

Remix of a Romeo void song never say never

I Might Like You

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
Keep that campfire warm
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!

My Weather Songs Do Not Make Sense

Wind Borrowed My Hat and Never Returned It

The alarm clock’s ringing but I don’t care,
Got your sleepy smile tangled in your hair.
The sunlight paints us golden through the blinds,
And I’m so thankful, love, that you are mine.
So precious so sweet, my beautiful moonshine.


Your eyes are the morning I wanna see,
Your kiss is the coffee that wakes up me.
Don’t need the world, don’t need the news,
All I need is lying here with you.
Just tender kisses and warming hugs.
All I need, so thankful, just lay next to you


Let’s stay lazy forever,
Wrapped up in this songs together.
Sharing melodies, and our lips so sweet,
Hearts in rhythm, soft heartbeat.
Time can wait, let’s drift away,
In your arms is where I’ll stay.


You sang a song so soft, so cute,
And love, I melted right into you.
Like an angel whispering through the air,
Every note said I’ll be there.
We trade our favorites  beneath the sheets,
You hum the tune, I sing the harmony.


Your laughter’s the sunrise I long to hear,
Your whisper’s the music that pulls me near.
No clock, no rules, no plans, no rush,
Just your voice, your kiss, your touch.


Let’s stay lazy forever,
Wrapped up in this songs together.
Sharing melodies, lips so sweet,
Hearts in rhythm, soft heartbeat.
Time can wait, let’s drift away,
In your arms is where I’ll stay.


If hunger calls, we’ll rise and go,
But I’ll still be singing soft and low.
Every little kiss, each breath, each sigh,
Turns this bed into paradise.


Let’s stay lazy forever,
Making each small moment better.
No place to be, no world outside,
Please make this day last forever,
Just your love and endless time.
If this is life, I’ll take no more
I found my heaven on our bedroom floor.

Sunday morning

Heavy Heart(Acoustic Rock)

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud. 
All songs are originals and copyrighted.
