--------------------
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….

Flowers Of Jupiter (with The Eclectic Collective)

Secret language of birds (Remix)

You are in no man's land. Which never moves, which never changes, which never grows older, but remains forever, icy and silent.

Cells

A simple chord structure always amazes me by how it can evoke such grand and majestic emotions... and everything else!  I was captivated by the opening phrase and thought "someone must have written this before".  If you know, tell me!

A Hymn of Hope

As the younger/ish guy in band I just play bass.


S. Drysdale on bass

When the rain has stopped 
And the cold’s come over night 

Wanderers 

Wanderers 
Can never 
Wanderers 
Don’t ever 
Look down 
You’re too far 
Far away 
From home 

Don’t you tell them anything 
And don’t you dare believe a thing 
Don’t you tell them anything 
And don’t you dare believe a thing 

Wanderers 

You’re too far 

From home 

Wanderers 
Can never 
Wanderers 
Don’t ever 
Look down 
You’re too far 
Far away 
From home 

You’re too far 

Far away 

From home
