Cast of characters:
Steve's Planet--@steve-vervaet—Steve—acustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–electric guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell--@j-j-terrell—JJ—organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums, percussion, and low vocal harmony
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–Fender precision bass  
This song began as an acoustic guitar and vocals stem written and performed by Steve. He sent it to Josh, who added the undulating staccato bass line, with the help of Ken's always well-suited drums. They went back and forth a couple of times, as is their process, until it clicked. Tez added some really dynamic leads and fills throughout, and Stephen filled in the rest of the electric guitar in a Keith/Ronnie kind of way, which is very tasteful. JJ then added some perfectly complimentary organ. Finally, Ken pleasantly surprised us with the low vocal harmonies. 
Stephen also mixed and produced this one for us. He's brilliant behind the board, and we're lucky to have him aboard. This one came together in a matter of a relatively short period of a fortnight, which is rare for the Eclectic Collective. But, when something is hot and already put together, it comes quickly. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
Lyrics:
Fallin’
Wandering aimless
Couldn’t shoot straight
No ability
Not much to say
There was no sign of me
Good times, bad times
Leaving out the sad times
Easily
That’s what they’re telling me
Mend or break
Looking over rooftops
Coming to a full stop
Suddenly
On a sad height
Raging endlessly
Breakline, beeline
Picking up the freeline
Easily
Follow my way
Leavin’ the fast lane
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2
And I – I’ve been going my way
One more time, only today 2x
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2

My Lyrics

(Not coming out of SC retirement :) A friend suggested I post all my Sakura Bluegrass to encourage copycats.  Here's to hoping! <3 )

Woke from a dream with "As predicted, I'm no longer here.  Walked a roof over a deep blue sea" singing in my brain.  I mixed and warped some Japanese proverbs about caution and taking risks and made this :)
------------------------------------
Close the chapter, Shut the doors.
Slip away and leave the keys.
Don't look back on once was ours.
We can only keep the memories

As predicted, I'm no longer here.
Walked a route over a deep blue sea.
Not a frog, no well, so clear.
Hug a cheetah and save humanity.

Life renews, the Sakura bloom
And fine weather will come
So, all will be clear soon.

Watching over us is the sun.
You can't look forward,
without having been somewhere.

A stone bridge skipped over
For want of a tiger's den.
Not some dry-up has-been.

As predicted, I'm no longer here.
Walked a roof over a deep blue sea.
Not a frog, no well so clear.
Hug a cheetah, feed a manatee

Wiser words never spoken,
A gift, a flower never to be broken
Nothing ventured a life-long shame.

As Predicted, Fine Weather

J'peux plus me faire saigner les oreilles
J'ai l'choix entre Céline Fion
Et la brune indonésienne
Qui m'dit qu'elle s'appelle Isabelle

Aider les gens
C'est bien
Mais j'ai mes priorités
Et là
Je préfère être un
j'men passerai bien
Désolé
Je dois y aller

J'ai une grosse soirée ce soir
Une soirée de fils de lutte
Y a du poulet au barbecue
J'ai une grosse soirée ce soir
Une soirée d'office m'impute
Y a les poulets au barbecue
viande de bœuf et brique a l'œuf

J'ai une grosse soirée ce soir
tu fais quoi, tu veux venir voir?

J'peux plus me faire saigner les yeux
J'ai l'choix entre les petites jeunes
Ou les ex de mes collègues
Pourquoi pas celle qui est une reine

[Pré-refrain]
Aider les gens
C'est bien
Mais j'ai mes priorités
Et là
Je préfère être un crétin
Désolé
Je dois y aller

la lutte m'impute

Honest Life (Cover)

If anyone is actually interested..... recording notes: 
- This was dumped from Logic onto a lightly used TDK-SA90 cassette from 85 or 86 before being dumped back into Logic for mastering. It is not a fully analog production and I am not claiming it to be. Dropouts/overload/etc are desired. Just wanted tape sound and went this route rather than using a plugin. This is probably best listened to on headphones for the full effect. Lot of things panning around, etc. 

- "Vlideliot" was split up into two tracks for the E.P. This gives the listener options.... I realize the intro is maybe three hours too long..... The single version is just one track. 

-There is a hidden track on the Bandcamp version. Perhaps not safe for work. It's a bunch of vocal tracks arguing. If I put it here it would not be hidden. In fact, forget I said anything. There is no hidden track.

1. Vlideliot (Part 1)
