Description: A sad little love song based on the title of a master's thesis I found on line.

This is great, again really like your vocals and the arrangement really lets it shine.  The guitar is beautiful.

Love all aspects of this song, the lyrics, the vocals and the spare but delightful production.

a recording made some time ago on the phone while I was getting acquainted with the little hank drum I just bought. it's not the best as a base resolution, but I have processed the sound to make it as clean as possible ... in this track the whole sequence is intermittently and simultaneously played at multiple speeds. it is very relaxing .. in the past I had already touched upon certain atmospheres that this magical instrument can create, but in this case I have reached further depth. with this new way of treating the sound I am sure there will be other pleasant discoveries.

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

caged bird
glaring with envious eyes
at butterflies!

by: Kobayashi Issa

Thanks to Marco of naviar records for sharing this inspiring poem!

Caged bird (naviarhaiku594)

Cast of Characters:

Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – acoustic guitar, composition, production, and mix

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken– drums

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Warwick four string fretless bass 

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano and lead synth

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST cello, strings, clarinet, flute, and synth pad

Nyla K-- @user-162163879 -- vocals and lyrics

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Earle Scruggs banjo

This song started as many of our best do, with Chris coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. He shared it with the rest of us shortly after, and we were all very excited to tuck into it. 

  Ken was fist at the trough for this one, adding his jazzy, expressive drums. Josh came in as soon as he had a beat to work with, adding his signature fretless bass to the mix. Not long after that, JJ broke out the hauntingly melodic piano and Shine On You Crazy Diamond timbred synth you hear throughout. 

  Once it had a good structure to it, Mark came in and added the dynamic cello swells that open the song, some subtle strings, the melodic clarinet and flute, and a bit of synth pad near the end to spice up the soup a bit. He also had the great idea to ask Nyla to add some vocals, which she did in her typically dynamic and expressive way using her original lyrics. Last, but definitely not least, we convinced Stephen to add some of his perfectly mood-setting banjo. 
  Once it was all in the can, it actually sat for several months before being revived by Chris, who also did the production and mix, expertly, as always.

   This song is an example of Eclectic Collective coming together to bring another one of Chris' brilliant songs to life. You should check out his new albums on Spotify, which you can find by clicking the link next to his name in the credits. 

  Also, this is our first time collaborating with Nyla K. We wanted to find a way to include her talents on this one, and her vocals here are magical. You can hear a lot more of them on her page if you follow the link next to here name in the credits, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Nyla K: 

I once overheard 
a hushed up conversation 
'tween the fishes coming home 
and thank god for a holiday
yea
making the bull frogs sing for joy
as they awake
yea
...and this... is what they had to say

Spanish moss and bullfrogs
cattail cotton in the wind
yea...
and won't U take me to the river
yea...
take me on down to the river
and U better not say....

Pause a moment. Feel the warm air move through the maple leaves.

cold night

If you stare long enough into the image, nothing happens except the image stares into you as well.

A faint Scratching and knocking, from outside the hull of I.S.S. Acquiescent
