This song began as Carl's tribute poem to our drummer, Ken. Carl came up with the chord progression and started a project, to which he invited the rest of us. This is the third song Eclectic Collective has done that is a tribute by Carl to one of our members.  We couldn't feel more honored than to be the subjects of his wild and boundless creativity.
  Fittingly, Ken was first in line to add his magnificent drums. Once we had drums, Josh had something to work with to add his bass, which he did shortly after the drums were up. Mark paid the project a visit next, helping out with a bit of production editing, and dropping in a mad percussion solo using his VST timbale drums. Stephen jumped in soon after, adding the melodic electric guitar riffs that appear throughout. Not to be outdone, JJ added some sonically thickening electric piano, as well as the throwback psychedelic synth that pops up towards the end. Finally, Tez came along and added the electrifying solo that appears about a third of the way in, as well as the one at the end. 
  Once the recording was finished, we turned it over to Stephen to mix in his always professional manner. 
  This song is all about our very talented teammate and brother, Ken, and it is well deserved, too. As mentioned, this is the third song from Carl about one of us. It's hard to describe the feeling of having someone who you respect take the time and energy to think about you in such a positive way as to produce a song about you. Then to have all your buddies join in to amplify it to a solid song is just mind-blowing. We are all very grateful to Carl for not only sharing his music with us, but for his thoughtful consideration of each of us as subjects. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Perfect Dark:
Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture

Rhythmic mountain maestro
Each day, graft, working hard
So kids can eat
Bruised back sees very best of yard

Still, beats get born of evenings
Deep love finds joules to jam
May generation X soothe meaning
Let's teach the younger pussies what we can

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture
Sticks in hand
Cymbals a floating
Snare and bass backbone gland
Tom'ed Ringo Star man keep quoting
Keep life steady paced by hand

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

the nature of their being by jeff gardiner 

 ponder and ponder if you wanna
speculations bout meanings and measures and structure
of time and the present
and yet it remains completely unknown
made no dent in the fabric
of monstrous illusion
collusion of unseen forces
nibbling away with whispers
while meekly we, perish, never knowing
what we're feeding
believers believing bleeding rivers of remorse
and of course, the horses don;t ponder for a moment
the nature of their being--

The Nature of their Being-with TexMex Shaman and Mahan💀Mahan

Yes. its AI




Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I live in
The USA
And theres something
I gotta say
Very obvious
I'll say it anyway
And I'm affected too
I won't shy away

Everywhere
The world say

USA
We know where you're at
And most of your citizens
Are very very fat
We can diagnose the problem
And determine this and that
Its just rooted in our culture

To become very very fat

Being out of shape
Seems to be the deal
Got a gym membership
Are you being for real
Do you really go
Or just use it to appeal
The part of you that screams

This aint right

Our portions are huge
And it reflects
In our size
Counting calories
Is difficult
Though it's very wise
Visitors from foreign lands
Will ask for a box to go
Its a common concept
But few Americans know

If soda pop
Is a regular on
Your grocery list
When you step on the scale
Don't get pissed
Regular or diet
Your body doesn't care
Its gonna make you tubby
Though the labels
Don't say beware

When other countries have
To make American clothes
Making proper sizes
No body knows
Extra large
Or extra extra
Still might be too tight
Outfitting Americans
Is hard to get it right
And don't complain
About the prices
When you see them
In the store
Keep it in your mind
That extra fabric
Will cost more

Consumption culture
Mastered at it best
Chunky people on the east
Stretching to the west
It use to be uncommon
Now thin is less and less
Because here's a fact,
That perhaps must be addressed

There shouldn't be reality shows
On the television
About people over six hundred pounds
Struggling to lose weight
Does it entertain you
To see human collapse?
A person who struggles
Does it make you feel better?

Is it okay to be
Fifty,  sixty,  a hundred pound over
But four hundred more
Is a line
Your mind can't cross over

At the grocery store
I lost count
Of how many people there
Carry extra pounds
And it wasn't just a few
You know what I do
Are they on you too?

Yeah,
We all gotta eat
And we all gotta move
We Americans are stuck
In a shitty groove
Extra effort
Just to be
Healthy

Go to Europe
Stay a month or two
And see how many pounds
Come off of you

Fat fat fat
Fat Americans
Yes
Fat Americans
I'm one too
But I bet I
Weigh less
Than most of you

Life is hard

And delicious

So true



Fat Americans

Somewhat doom-laden reflection of the prospect....but cheering up, it may never come down to a rogue algorithm sparking it all off!! Hooray!......

Lyrics:
Are there far and dark countries teeming
I have to see
Life's too dull, I wait patiently

I'm slipping past and stealing where I can
Stealing as much as I can stand
Cannot be cold, cannot be buzzing all the time
Life's dull strain, looking for a hill to climb

Every line and shape perfectly defined
Every color detailed and brilliant
Life's too dull, even the great can't live with it

Mirage music and poetry and letters
Language we love to say
Life's too dull, and gets in the way

Sylph male circling me, come together when I breathe
Life's too dull, that's what we achieve

Nothing has started, nothing has come through
I'd like to stay after school
I don't even know what it is I've held on to
Life's dull strain, what do I want to do

I treat you like you're in short supply
Life's too dull, I can't imagine why

The mother's sins have won
Life's too dull, we've barely just begun

Arms crossed at wrist, held tight
Shadow of a dove
Flies across the beam moonlight
Casting on the wall
Life's too dull, it's not a dove at all

Baseball and stadium
The summer scorching heat
Life's too dull, and incomplete

There are too many questions
But I don't want answers, I just want to feel
Life's too dull, form of a habitrail wheel

Pesticide perpetrators at beck and call
Herding unique tales to a cliff to fall
But then I don't want to sparkle
Or have the gold wash over the aerial
I'd rather be blank and small
Life's too dull, since I grasp the sprawl
I'd rather be blank and small

Mirage music and poetry and letters
Language we love to say
Life's too dull, let's be on our way
