This song began with David, who wrote it on the guitar, synth, and bass over a programmed beat he created. He and Josh met more than two months ago and decided to do a collaboration, based on mutual enjoyment of and respect for each other's music. Dave had this song pretty much fleshed out, although it was still a skeleton when he offered it to Josh, who, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. 

  Dave asked us all to compose our own parts for the song, so we all got to work right away doing that. We all realized that the first order of business would be to get a real beat on this, so Ken accomplished that task with some dynamic, Eastern inspired drums and percussion, which he plays throughout the song. JJ then stepped in and added his best eastern flute magic. Stephen was next with the perfect-vibe sitar you hear in the first two sections. 

  Josh came next to add his five-string fretless bass to the mix, augmenting David's high, staccato bass with his deep, low tone bass. Then, for the third section, where David's Gilmore-esque guitar solo resides, Josh drops out, allowing for Dave's awesome bass playing in that section. However, Josh does come in again towards the end, in the final section, too. Also, in that section, Tez dropped an augmented, harmonic, electric fire, complementary guitar part. Then, David's frequent collaborator and friend Ron added some well blended, ethereal synth to the first section, too.

  Once we had the instrumental parts pretty much laid down, we began to discuss getting a woman to sing on this, as David was inspired by The Great Gig in the Sky, by Pink Floyd, and we all agreed. Who we found to do it actually blew all of our minds. JJ, being familiar with her music, contacted Elpi first, and we were all lucky enough that she agreed to do it. Having heard Mediterranean music all her life in Greece, she tapped into what her husband said were her "ancient Greek roots," for her spectacular vocal performance. She finds all the modal notes and places them perfectly throughout her sections. 

  But before we were done, Mark came through with some really striking talking drum parts in the first two sections, too. Once we had everything in the can, David took over, both with some masterful editing and production, and with the balanced, dynamic mix. The mix was a formidable task, but he did it with considerable skill, also taking everyone's opinions into account, which is a talent in and of itself. When he was done with the mix, he turned it over to Stephen for the mastering, which the latter did to everyone's satisfaction, as always.

  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with David, Elpi, and Ron, and we all hope it's the first of many, as we welcome them into the EC family. They all have some wonderful music on their pages, too, so do yourself a favor and check out all of them, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

In High Quality

Disillusioned

Scars run deep in the echoes of a haunted past
Must remember all the lives that just couldn't last
From the ashes of despair let's build a brighter day
Peace and understanding pave the only way

Fighting in the jungle bullets flying by your head
Brothers in arms falling wishing they were dead
Vietnam war lookin like it won't end
Heartache and pain it's never going to end

Young souls sent to battle
Their dreams turned to dust
In a conflict not their own
Betrayed by misplaced trust

Faces smeared with fear
As the bombs came crashing down
A generation scarred
On foreign soil they drowned

To all the men that went and all the ones had to stay
Memories of Vietnam is never gonna fade
Deep cut scars dripping in blood stains
Our own leaders are the ones who betrayed

You're a conman and those men are pawns
Round em up send them off to Vietnam
Fight your own war where innocence is gone
You let them bath in all that napalm

In the land of shattered dreams hope was set ablaze
Fought a senseless war in a fiery haze
Price was paid and the lives that were slain
Another dark chapter the American way

The American way
The American way
Another dark chapter the American way
