The river

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–sitar, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–electric piano, vocals
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion, vocals
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–lead guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass guitar, vocals

  
This song started with Artur composing a brilliant, open piece on his guitar, in his distinct surf rock style, and sending it to Josh. Josh put the bass down on top of Ken's banging drums, but it took Josh, a while to be able to get this one for some reason. Once he and Ken were locked in, though, they knew they had it. JJ then sprinkled his electric keyboard magic, followed by Tez, who lights up the whole thing with his electric guitar wizardry. 
  At Artur's request, Ken, JJ, and Josh added the big harmony vocals, "See you soon, in a better world." Artur wanted this song to be about the need for peace in the world. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen added the sitar intro. He also accomplished the herculean task of mixing and producing the whole thing for us.
  This is another true team effort by the Eclectic Collective, and the fourth in our series of surf rock songs. This also happens to coincide with Artur's birthday, so please go to his page and wish him a happy birthday. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Enslaver

Lest we forget
We need to remember
We see the signs
And we act upon it
Why does the system
Where is the mind
Where is the world gonna be
When we are all left behind

Do we care?

What are you thinking
In that mind of yours
Do you think you could get away
From it all

Lest we forget
The crimes of the system
We never forget 
We're never in them

Do we care?

Children blown to bits
We're all in fits
What can we do?
So many miles away
Thousands of miles away
What can we do?

Do we care?

There's people 
Who will pay for these crimes
Little children blown to smithereens

It's on the news
Do we care?
I'd like to think we care...enough

To do something about it
Do we laugh at those marchers
Those marching people

Do we care?

Lyrics:
If you play with fire
You're gonna get burnt

You make it so easy
how can you blame me?
For taking what's laid out right here before me
I just give them what they want
I just give them what they want
If you're coming after me
you better watch out

I am taking action
I'm the captain
And I will do whatever it takes to defend the nation
I am taking action
I'm the statesman
And I will do whatever it takes to make it right
To save our way of life

If you play with fire
You're gonna get burnt
If you play with power
You're gonna get hurt

I was born to this
I was born to this
I was born to this
I accept nothing less

Born To This

I don't respond to likes, I only respond to feedback. Likes mean nothing, they achieve nothing, feedback is by far the best to give support, it increases and maintains the visibility of posts, which results in more visitors come to the page, and that, in turn, results in more feedback. To me a LIKE with no accompanying feedback is saying, your tunes isn't good enough for me to leave a comments, your music isn't as good as mine, so don't waste your time clicking like if you don't think my tunes are worthy of feedback because I will ignore it. 
A like without feedback could also mean, you never actually listened at all; either way, I find it insulting so ignore it, but if you do leave feedback I will show you the same respect, listen to your tunes and leave feedback!
