Funk Jam

flashing lights blind my eyes 
i cant find you in the crowd
they push me on but i dont wanna go
this way that way every way but your way 
you promised me you wouldnt let me down 
but here i am so low

think that you can just
 wind me up and watch me go

i dont wann be i dont wanna be
here without you 
here without you
but i feel a bit just a little bit 
free without you 
free without you 

flashing lights blind your eyes 
you cant find me in the crowd
they push you on but you dont wanna go
this way that way every way but my  way 
you promised me you wouldnt let me down 
but here i am so low

think that you can just
 wind me up and watch me go

i dont wann be i dont wanna be
here without you 
here without you
but i feel a bit just a little bit 
free without you 
free without you 

get outta ma way im coming

i dont wanna be

Cast of characters:

Jack Karasek — beats and seed idea

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Roland Phantom workstation

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– mix, master, and production

This song began with Ken's oldest son, Jack, who laid down the basic rhythmic beat. Ken took over after that with the rest of the beats, though. Jack just graduated high school last week, and he's into hip hop and trap music, so he wanted to share some of it with his musician father, who is very proud of him.

  Tez was first up on this one, which surprised me when I went back and checked the workflow. He added the perfectly placed guitar hits throughout. Josh was next up, using his synth to add the falling bass line. Last, but not least, Terry came aboard, adding the moody, melodic, high register synth.

  When it was all finished, we asked out resident pro mixer, Stephen, to mix it for us. 

  This song was in its current form for about the past eight months. It was originally part of a series of vehicles Eclectic Collective composed for The Mysterious Decibel. He got caught up in life, though, and had to abandon the project. So, we sat on it, asking all the rappers we know if they'd be interested in having a go with it, but no one bit. So, with Jack's recent graduation, Ken revived it as a celebratory song for his son. It could still use some vocals, too, so think of this as an open invitation to anyone who want to do the honors. 

  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

  Oh, and just a side note for all of our friends who follow along with us, we will have  new one for you, the following Friday, the 11th. Thank you for keeping up with us!

This is a stripped-down, deeply reflective take on the finale of my "Symphony in D-flat." It captures the internal debate and the feeling of poignant introspection.
