--------------------
This is a song that JJ created late one Saturday night on the piano, drums, bass, and guitar. He then presented it to the rest of the Eclectic Collective so we could do our thing with it. Josh replaced JJ's rough bass with his interpretation of the line as soon as Ken replaced the drums with his interpretation of the beat. Interestingly, Ravel's Bolero had a lot to do with the inspiration for the second part of the song. After the rhythm section was done, we turned it over to Stephen, who came up with some really subtle, yet much needed guitar lines. 

 We then turned it over to our relatively new collaborator, Mark, who came up with the lyrics and vocals. This is a lyrical and vocal songwriting debut for Mark, who was inspired by his very first listen to JJ's rough draft. Thus, this song is extra special for him.  

Mark's lyrics are about our Earthly relatives in the far distant future. At that point life on Earth will have just about reached its limits, and so mankind embarks on a journey through space to find another place to call home.

We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did creating it.

LYRICS:
Part 1:
All you know, all you love is here today
Feel the sun, see the flowers embrace her rays
And you know, all we are must fade away
And now its time to go… 
away…

Part 2:
Here we are, flying high, flying high above the moons of Mars
And beyond another sunrise greets a world once again,
a million miles from where we are
To embrace the flowers of Jupiter, 
once again…

On and on we sail away, searching for another day,
the universe an endless sea
And you know that somewhere out there,
a brand new world, for you and me….

If Not For You
Written by Michael Duffy

If Not For You - lyrics

Every time you leave town
I feel so down
I'm in the danger zone
Anytime Im left alone

I don't trust myself
Cant you see
Your not the problem
I known thats its me

I'm nothing
Nothing
I'm nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

Your my anchor
Keep my feet on the ground
My shoulder to lean on
When i'm feeling down

Through the highs and the lows
Together we stand
You by my side
I've got nothing to hide

I'm nothing
Nothing
I'm nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

In my shadows of doubt
When i'm feeling low
You be my shelter
The place where I go

Your the stars in my night
The moon in my sea
The purpose of
Who I'm meant to be

Nothing
Nothing
I say nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

Just riffing on the guitar in springtime ... playing a Hargreaves classical guitar, "Grace" ...

Sweet world

Nestled somewhere between patio hell and the soft play hinterland, I bring you noise.
