A Huge Thank You to my dear collaborator Frans Beelaard. I had send him this song in my version and it came back like this… :)
He played a bass line, 2 guitars, one lead and one rhythm. Also included is an acoustic drum track with 22" Zildjian ride & crash cymbals & tambourine and an acoustic piano track.
On top of that he also mixed and mastered the whole thing.
A great honor and pleasure for me.

The lines (edited, translated, modified, revised, retranslated, reedited…) originally derived from verse shards by two German poets: 
Stefan George (1868-1933), „Albagal“, 1892 and 
Durs Grünbein (born 1962), “Porzellan: Poem vom Untergang meiner Stadt“, 2006 and „Bericht von der Ermordung des Heliogabal durch seine Leibgarde“, 1999
I glued these verse shards together with a refrain.

During my research on porcelain I came along Kin Tsugi, a Japanese form of art, putting broken porcelain back together again. The picture shows such a piece.

Smashed Porcelain

1
Descend once more into the air-raid shelter. 
Observe:
Your ancestors, crowded together, in their final attire,

Comrades, hostages to mass hysteria,
How they curse, sob, 
Just moments ago uninhibited,
When the Führer arrived in the Mercedes of the Messiah.

How long ago was that, you ask ?
Man…
How long ago was that, you ask ?

2
Oh, I’m descending a marble staircase.
A headless body lies in the middle. Once again.
There, the blood of my dear brother seeps out.
I gently gather up my purple train.

How long ago was that, you ask ?
Gee…
How long ago was that, you ask ?

3
Oh, oh, ohh…
Only 
Caesar didn't care ´bout anything. 
As he watched with glee 
When Rome sank to ruins 
Like a tourist from overseas…

How long ago was that, you ask ?
Well…
How long ago was that, you ask ?


4
Why complain, latecomer ? 
The city long gone before you were there 
Ahh, those teary eyes - 
They’re different from grey hair-air-air…

How long ago was that, you ask ? 
Gee…
How long ago was that, you ask ?
Oh folks, I can't say.						

The only Word
For „Gone Forever“
Is „Today“.

This song began more than a year ago, when Josh created a song out of a looper beat with his four string fretless bass. It sat on the shelf until a few weeks ago, when he shared it with JJ, who was in creative mode one Saturday evening. Josh had actually forgotten that he'd added a bass line to it, and thought he was just passing on a looper beat for JJ to play with. 
  However, JJ heard it, and was so excited that added his magical electric piano part, making it sound like a real song, instead of just drums and a bass. Ken also heard some magic in here, because he came up with his own brilliant beat to replace the looper that was used in for the seed. Mark was next to throw in, adding the striking drum pattern breakdown, and the thrilling flute solo, as well. Tez came in shortly after, adding his thrilling guitar to the mix. After everyone had added their parts, Josh came back and added two guitar parts, the simple low end line, as well as the high strumed triads. At this stage, Mark did some editing, as it is in his skill set, and made it less dense and easier to listen to. 
  Now that the song was musically complete, out newest member, Carl, dropped the amazing vocals you hear, singing his original lyrics. After Carl was done sprinkling his magic in it, we needed an able producer to bring out the magic of the recordings. Good thing we have a trained producer to do the job in Stephen, who mixed and mastered it superbly, as always. 
  This is Eclectic Collective's first fore into the afrobeat genre, although a few of us are really big fans already, and Josh has a few other originals in this genre buried on his page, as well. As always, we all enjoyed the process of hearing this one come together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:Juice our Jah
Chalice of chime
Shooting star
Great rhythm
There's blood in the brine

Suture Sun
Grand heaven high
'Some clan gone cruel
Needing collective eye

Eclectic host
Hoist our hale
Mused healing feast
Musical breeze as gale

Afro beat
Oh melody sweet
Beat afro
Show us where to go

Verses:
locked on like a missile inbound 
production on target hitting dead-on 
deep into territories others withdrawn 
totally hype once I do that mic check 
stereo direct never forget 
feel the connect mic check mic check
I’m In effect got that vibe --and it’s in motion 
check the approach this is devotion
Chorus————-
Addicted cause it’s dope pushing the envelope 
LiveWire on fire don’t lose hope 
look out here I come follow the beat of the drums 
you found the underground baby this is where I get down 
This is where I get down
not subjects of the game no industry no frame 
do it for the love of music 
IPG1 is the name
Transmission from the top of the world 
no exception man woman boy or girl 
moving forward session after session 
Turnt up baby check your connection 
let’s go embrace the reception 
cutting through the air like a cesarean section 
I never give up see pass the deception 
no misconceptions shits on lock
Slamming bars like a house of corrections
————-
it took another hit bro 
yeah I’m still dope 
hold onto your headphones 
this one ain’t no joke 
Now check the spells that I invoke 
I just rock 'em to the rhythm until it hurts 
Ain’t no stopping till they’ve learned the ropes 
...and the track gets lit like fireworks
Standing on a cloud of style—it smokes
check the approach step by step
Select the concept direct the project 
context——perfect I’m in effect 
left unchecked —
A necessary threat—
Spitting dope lyrics till I’m totally out of breath—-yeah!
Giving them more than they’d ever expect 
The approach-indirect 
the secret well-kept
better believe I'm coming correct 
step-by-step 
we learn to except 
connect and correct 
Life’s concept 
Select and protect 
each skill I perfect 
And to the fam that’s listening 
MUCH RESPECT!!!
