A great melody in the verses - really love the repetition in the lyric too. The pre-chorus really sets up the chorus and 'Panic attack' is the last line I was expecting! Super!

Cool song man!! Love the title. Really great lyrics, the song has a great build up to that catchy chorus, the monkey on the back line is fantastic, you sound awesome, Nicely done!!

You had me hooked in an instant, Mark. I love that chorus!

Great lyrics, vocal and guitar! Reaching high on the catchy chorus!

This is a love song written about Josh's favorite band, Phish. He came up with the chords on his acoustic guitar, and shared it with the group. This was written with Beck in mind, though, too, as he knew she'd be contributing her magic to this one, too. Even when it was just the acoustic guitar set to a looper beat, she came up with many of the parts you hear throughout. Although, she also readjusted and redid a lot of it, too, throughout the process. Ken was the next piece of the puzzle to jump in. He laid down his perfect drums beats to it in only one or two tries, giving it the groove it needed. After Ken laid down the beat, that allowed Josh to add his bass to the mix, too. It was almost done musically, but it needed a lead guitar, which Josh also put in there. Before it was finished, though, JJ weighed in with his clever organ, which can be heard from about 2:30 on. When it was all wrapped up musically, Josh also sang his lyrics, which are written from the perspective of two Phish heads conversing about the imminent Phish show, which is always a big, exciting event. 
  Josh has seen almost 70 Phish shows in his life, and he hopes his adoration for the band is evident in this song. This is the second song Eclectic Collective have done with Beck, and we all hope for many more, too. She's a fantastic musician, with a wonderfully deep well of creativity. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Are you gonna meet me at the show tonight
Am I gonna see you at the show?
What songs do you think they’ll play tonight?
I’ve been waiting all year to go

You should check out last night’s set list
The show was packed with killer songs
Is there any one that you’ve been chasing?
I love it when the crowd all sings along
 
Trey’s been stirring up all the great jams
Page rules the keyboards from his throne
Mike digs the groove so deep and he stands
On Fishman’s beats that shake our bones
 
Hope you have your ticket for the show tonight
I know these days they’re on our phones
Some spun wook is always tripping
Looking for profundity in all the songs

Every now and then they have to just stop spinning 
Stare at the lights, and sing along
So I know we’ll hear some great things tonight
Every time I go, my mind gets blown
After in the lot I know I’ll eat a grilled cheese

Introspection

Verse 1
Wake up silly dreamer, where do you go
Wake up silly dreamer, what do you know
Wake up silly dreamer, you’re moving slow
Wake up silly dreamer, it’s time to go

Pre-Chorus
Open up your blurry eyes
The time is slipping by
The truth you keep is locked inside
The things you try to hide

Chorus
Panic attack
It’s just the same old monkey on your back
We fall off track
But everything we need is pointing back

Verse 2
Wake up silly dreamer, what do you think
Wake up silly dreamer, you’re on the brink
Wake up silly dreamer, dust off your boots
Wake up silly dreamer, back to your roots

Pre-Chorus
Don’t get lost in all the noise
It’s gonna drag you down
Don’t forget you have a choice
Rise up or hit the ground

Chorus
Panic attack
It’s just the same old monkey on your back
We fall off track
But everything we need is pointing back

Panic attack
It’s just the same old monkey on your back
We fall off track
But everything we need is pointing back

Outro
Wake up silly dreamer, it’s time to go

Wake Up Silly Dreamer

Off The Top Of My Head (Instrumental)

Coffee ☕ 

I'm awake dear world...
Where's the dose?
I'm twitching
In need of that warm dark roast
I've been watching this kettle forever boil
Breathe dear boy
Oh grounds
Calm turmoil
We're there
Now pour
Oh mighty morning fix
Check favourite mug
1 sugar now mix
Hmmm
We have our fag
We have our brew
Now into the garden you addict you...

Relief, I'm real, I'm alive, I'm numb
Course through my veins
Cure caffeine come
Tame my bark
Aww save my kids
Brew brave my stark
Snaps get their lid
First of too many
Through this day
From sip to sip
Awww keep hitting that grey
The cure of coffee
The seed of sane
Flicking mind bean
Timed happy pain

Caffeine to brain
Coffee my sane
Caffeine to brain
Coffee my sane

Coffee

Many the wonders I this day have seen:
The sun, when first he kist away the tears
That fill’d the eyes of morn;—the laurel’d peers
Who from the feathery gold of evening lean;—
The ocean with its vastness, its blue green,
Its ships, its rocks, its caves, its hopes, its fears,—
Its voice mysterious, which whoso hears
Must think on what will be, and what has been.
E’en now, dear George, while this for you I write,
Cynthia is from her silken curtains peeping
So scantly, that it seems her bridal night,
And she her half-discover’d revels keeping.
But what, without the social thought of thee,
Would be the wonders of the sky and sea?

John Keats

This track is entirely based on a loop of my own sax, played 6 years ago .....;
it felt like the rhythm and feel of this lick was worth it :-)
I created someting completely new out of it with a fresh soprano jam on top :-)

Close to you

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs. I labor with sweat and tears to make REAL music for REAL people, because I refuse to let AI take that away from us.
