SONG NOTES AND LYRICS:
Let the rain come down 
Take this river to the sea
Let the rain come down
Take this river to the sea
Way out here
Just the rain and the river and me

Let the rain come down 
The things this old river has seen 
Let the rain come down 
The things this old river has seen
Way out here
It’s just the rain and the river me

From the top of this hill 
How this river flows
Doing what a river does 
What a river knows 
Let the rain come down 
Take the river where the river goes 

Let the rain come down 
What will be will be 
Let the rain come down 
What will be will be 
Way out here
Just the rain and the river and me

The Rain and The River and Me

This one was a pleasant surprise.  Ken came at me last week with this track written, performed, arranged and sung by Joseph Shenton, who I didn't know at the time.  I heard it and definitely wanted to be involved, so they were cool on me adding a little rhythm guitar and then doing the mix and production for it.  Ken added the drums and bass. If you don't know Joseph yet, he's got some killer tunes and worth following to check em out! 

Cast of characters:

Joseph Shenton: composition, lyrics, vocals, acoustic guitar, lead guitar, harmonica, piano

Tex Mex Shaman( Stephen Watkins): Rhythm and texture guitars, production mix and master

K2 and the Three( Kenneth Karasek): Drums, bass guitar,  and shakers 

This song began with Ken and Joseph liking each other’s music. Ken invited Joseph to collaborate. He provided such a wonderful song, that maybe sounds better without drums, but we totally dig this version, as well! Ken asked Stephen to add something special, and for a fantastic third party mix down and master! This is the first collaboration with a couple of the Eclectic Collective collaborators.. we hope you all enjoy it!!

One Twist a’Whisper
Lyrics by Joseph Shenton
Music by Joseph Shenton

Bang the drum
Call the ghosts out
It’s ten to one
N’ we’re under looming doubt 

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

The cradle is tilted
Fires breath is getting hot 
Pine needles are falling
Your poised to spill all you got

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

Skin on skin
Check to cheek
You pull apart quiet
To become the object seekers seek

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

Jump the line
Cheat the deck
The 'bound to be foolish' 
Won’t hesitate for even a sec

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

In the New Year's Queue

On a crisp and sunny morning, I step inside the market hall
Buying treats and sparkling wine, for our New Years party at night fall
My thoughts are drifting to the evening, dreaming of a joyful night
I dream of dance, of friends of fancy fashion– tonight is gonna feel allright

And then arrive at the counter - no, that's euphemistic to say
‘cause the end of the line is 20 meters away
Patience tested but my pulse still stays rested
I glance at my watch, just sufficient time still at hand
But if I get delayed, my day won't go as I planned
“Come on, why can’t you just move along?”

An elderly 
-- couple decides that they want to get 
--rid of all their coupons
They search their bags with amazing endurance - it’s a geriatric marathon
They turn each leaflet individually – is it still good?
I feel the pressure slowly rising under my hood
 
why do I have to waste my time in line - what's the deal?
how did I end up here - I must attest -- this gets a surreal feel
Every minute feels like hours, I’ve got to  go
Stuck in this snail trail that is creeping so slow

--- A man wants to pay 
his whole purchase with coins and he counts them with intricate care 
--- But then he mixes them up 
and so the count repeats again, 
--- as the line waits in ever increasing despair
his fingers start to tremble even more 
as he tries to build piles
 --- if it were for me
I would strongly support a law 
That would put this guy  into eternal exile

 Clench my fists till they’re white
Try to resist the anger that is building up inside of me
Hormones storming, my vision forming a tunnel
That is filled to the top with a bloody red sea
I must confess, it was no clever plan
To use my cart, As a battering ram
First it caused a shopping cart traffic jam
And then the first blow started to hit  into my belly

You will understand that I needed to defend my stand
Fists were flying there were children crying I did not care
Rage was holding me in its clutch
My composure breaking, this was getting too much
As I went down under kicks and blows


And the last thing that I’m able to recall
I was smashed against a wall
It nearly  broke  my skull
Conciousness waved politely bye bye 

I woke up the following day in a hospital
the bruises were not really critical
but my enthusiasm for this new year had faded to null

Around next Christmas, 
I'll mind my own business
And leave all the parties behind 
And will try  …
… to unwind

The New Year's Queue (Piano Poetry)

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, Roland Phantom 6 synth, vocals, lyrics, arrangement, composition
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ--  Yamaha Genos 2 and Yamaha MoXF8 
synth, organ, electric piano, and vocal harmonies
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet     
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaser through a VST synth FX device
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, Fender Acoustasonic acoustic guitar, Gibson Earl Scruggs Mastertone banjo, mix, production, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 
  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.
  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.
  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 
  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

Nightshade

New start after finishing SC and Spotify Album - Eccentricity so Beautiful.
This title jumped off a page and lately in the live act we've been doing some 80s songs: I think that influenced the approach here.
 
Decarbonizing Aviation
Decarbonizing Aviation
 
It’s a new concsiousness
Vapor trails gone West
Sometimes you got to make a change
To keep love on forever’s path
Your shaking trees are exhausting me
Better a sundown heart to heart
 
Decarbonizing Aviation – night swimming and seeing it spark
Decarbonizing Aviation – going steady yeah not too fast
 
Glaciers and shrinking
Habitats and mourning
Can we glide the plane back home
Gotta give up on bad bad stuff
Seven days of denial nights
I think we know that enough’s enough

Decarbonising Aviation

Jingle Bell Rock-Tex Mex Shaman w/ MJ-Brewer/K2 and the Three

“It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I’d known, maybe I’d have kept tighter hold of them, and not let unseen tides pull us apart.”

Never Let Me Go

I've always believed that this song would sound much better if it was sang as a male/female duet.

I asked Debbie if she would like to join me on the song and I was very happy when she said yes.

She did a marvellous job and added that extra dimension to the song that I always thought was missing.

Hope you like it.

There’s a girl sits all alone
In her world she calls her own
She cries at night cos he has gone

There’s a boy sitting in his car
Sad brown eyes staring out afar
The jukebox plays their favourite song

Chorus

They should be together
Instead of apart
They are one body
They share one heart
It seems so senseless
It went too far
She was his woman
He was her man

Solo

What’s the story, why is it so
Why it happened no one knows 
Don’t be foolish,  give her a call

Chorus x 2 

She was his woman – He was her man

They should be together(Cooper/DLynn Collaboration)

[VERSE 1]
A masterpiece I unleash it  
upon the rap game as I decease it.  
Try to stop me and you'll get defeated.  
My steez lit, I'm the real deal, you deceit it,  
you're an actor, I don't believe it.  
The moment I seize it, I squeeze it  
like into a picture, I say cheese  
then I fucking freeze it.

[VERSE 2]
My barz will leave you puzzled like I'm tetris.  
The rap game, I own it so I'll tax it,  
I'll audit and I'll assess it.  
I do quality assurance when I'm at it  
so your shit it can be tested,  
so it gets rejected and retracted.

[VERSE 3]
For inspiration I am your-source,  
but don't fall for my de-coys.  
I lash out and your whole crew gets de-stroyed.

[VERSE 4]
I'll be exposing rappers like wind does to a woman's dress.  
It's excellence that I strive to flex,  
Usain Bolt's legs is what my tongue has  
when I'm blasting all these bomb raps. 
Rappers sleeping on it like they Snorlax. 
My delivery faster like I'm doordash.  
Thunder is coming is announced in forecasts.

[VERSE 5]
New rap laws I'm instilling.  
You rappers are some catfish that I'll rail-in. I'm the bad-villain,  
but unlike in the movies I am mad-winning. Don't waste my time or I'll be then-billing.

[VERSE 6]
When I fucking spit I end lifes.
I'm blowing up like landmines.  
Bring rappers their eternal bedtimes.  
Bring your whole crew and you'll see flat lines.

[VERSE 7]
Your shit it should be prohibited.  
Nobody who listened it.  
Your contributions not elicited.  
Nobody who listened it.  
Your contributions not elicited.  
The stories you tell, I'm living it.  
My lyrics infinite,  
your vocabulary, it is limited.  
I bring the sickest shit.
In your nightmares is where y'all by me get visited. 

[VERSE 8]
I only bring flows with sick texts.  
Your bitch-ass only writes shit raps.  
I give you lyrical bitchslaps  
with my diss tracks.  
What you want to be, I live that.  
Likely I'm the reason why yo bitch dead.  
You dickheads try my lit flex  
and end up with a fucking whiplash.

[VERSE 9]
Your vocabulary is micro like your penis.  
The day when I release this,  
I'll be scaring rappers back into wombs like fetus.  
I will burn the rap game down and as I decease it,  
I will arise from the scene's ashes like a phoenix.  
I mean this,  
this rap shit is coded into my genes, bitch.

[VERSE 10]
I work and live hard.  
What you need is a kickstart.  
When I spit barz this hard,  
I bring flows colder than a fucking blizzard.

[VERSE 11]
Like McDonald's I am loving this.  
Zero is the total fucks I give.  
You act tough, but you are just a barking bitch.

[VERSE 12]
I do loopings on beats like I'm six flags.  
Which rapper shall I dis next?

[VERSE 13]
My bars are astronomical,  
so they hit the scene like bombs that are atomical.  
Bring so much heat, I turn environments subtropical.  
I structure schemes methodical.  
Your lyrics are just comical.  
Your brain does not think logical.  
I'm phenomenal.  
My vibe oldskool just like times of rock 'n roll.  
Asking me who the best is..?  
That's rhetorical.

[VERSE 14]
as you're not fly yet, I'll call you maggots.  
Rappers sleep on me like a matress.  
Rappers I leave breathless.  
No tracks means no money, means hunger when you get breadless.  
Fact is, if you are too pussy to battle me with texts bitch,  
I'll just choke you through pressure on your necklace.  
Chop your head off, leave you neckless.

[HOOK]
I'm ripping this, I'm ripping this.  
Listen bitch, listen this,  
soon your sorry ass is begging for forgiveness.  
Only call me when it's about businesses.  
I kill beats even with ten witnesses.

[BRIDGE]
I scare rappers like a killer in a thriller.  
If the rap game was a TV show  
your episode would be the filler.  
I'd be a prime episode,  
cuz I'm realer.

[OUTRO]

Battle me be cautious.  
Analyze my fast flows you get nauseous.



MODUL8 - My Steez Lit (Murder Verses EP)

Another previously unheard track from 4 years ago. Still in the doldrums here. Sorry for not listening to all your fine music folks.

Two sides of the same coin. A song of two halves,night and day.

I love the end of the day
When the blue sky darkens
And the light fades away
The sky recedes 
And the colour grows thin
The world opens up
To let the universe in

Sharp edges soften
Become almost blurred
Darkness is birthing
A whole different world
