Cast of characters:
Stoner Jazz--@user-911083679—Jeff—vocals, lyrics, and original stem
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–overdriven guitar, production, and mix
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric clean/effects guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass and synth           

This song originated with Jeff, who wrote a poem, which he set to a beat and a key with some very cool vocal processing. He sent it to Josh, who added the bass and the synth lines. Josh, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. Ken came up with a solid, distinct beat, based loosely on Josh's first take. Josh then redid his bass line to match up with Ken's drums, which is the way they seem to work best, sometimes going back and forth like that several times until they're locked in. Then, Tez and Stephen each added very distinct, supportive guitar tracks to fill it in. Tez comes through with the very Strat sounding bells ringing throughout. Stephen really shines with his textural tremolo playing throughout, as well as the rocking end. He also produced and mixed it expertly, as always. 
This is the first time the Eclectic Collective has collaborated with Jeff, although both Josh and especially Stephen (as part of the band, The Smoking Trout) have made music with him before. We really enjoyed making a song based on his vocals, and Jeff is a welcome addition to our sound anytime. We all really enjoyed making this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it.
Lyrics:

Naked Shoulders
l like the way the sun lights up
the naked shoulders of the Early morning
ln the Desert where we met-
ln the shack down by the muddy
where you said you waited
while l rambled on about the time
Youth and Sex and Beauty-
When the Real Revolution was the Music-

Slitting quietly and thinking
while the melancholy has lt's moment
letting longing linger longer than lt should
Took a little tumble ln the Bumble
when l got older
always just a little lucky
ln the middle of disaster
no longer sure lf l'm the spell or l'm the caster
only knowing that my feet are made of plaster-

Even though lt's getting late, even though lt's getting late
l'm still standing at the gate
hoping for a bit hoping for a little bite hoping for a little slice of Nlrvana Nlrvana-

Verse 2
You know lt's harder than lt looks
even though l read some books
l'm ln love with my Delusion, Naked and inviting
lt whispers sweetly ln my head and says
You're gonna live Forever, even though l'm almost dead-

Everything that came before
comes knocking at the back-stage door
demanding parts ln the production of the play-

What makes you think you have a choice?
The Director Sald
you don't have to memorize the dialogue
the script ls ln your Head--

Bunker

Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’ (2)
wo die Sonne sich rückwärts dreht
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
wo die anderen sind
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
wo all die anderen sind…
Du kannst schon mal…
Ich komme später nach…
Da lang, da lang, na da lang…
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
Wo all die anderen sind
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
Ich hab’ noch was zu erledigen, aber Du,
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’,
Da lang, da lang, na da lang, Du kennst den Weg.
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
Bitte sei nicht traurig,
Wir werden uns da wiedersehn’


This is more than less an adequate translation by machine... :

Bunker

You can already go to the bunker (2)
where the sun turns backwards
You can already go to the bunker
where the others are
You can already go to the bunker
where all the others are...
You can already...
I'll catch up with you later...
That way, that way, that way...
You can already go to the bunker...
Where all the others are
You can already go to the bunker...
I've got things to do, but you..,
You can already go to the bunker..,
That way, that way, you know the way.
You can already go to the bunker...
Please don't be sad,
We'll meet there again

Bunker (collab with Xian3)

Please enjoy, and wherever these sounds find you -- peace.

Lyrics:

I guess this is crazy
ain't just my mind you're getting to..
I know you're lonely, and you know i've been lonely too
Might as well give up on, all reasoning,
persuasion, decision, derived through cohesion
under you...

well, You talk of persuasion!... 
Red hair that whips you to your grave
Eyes that can drown you, turn any man into a slave
Girl you're the devil dressed like an angel
the constant salvation, inveigling my pleasure into pain

Down in the berry fields
working the earth with what you sow
a spell that's on-top of you
well I'm working the plow down to the bone,
begging for rain to ease, persuade and please,
that may appease the comfort inside us all...

The Devil Blue

2023 - For the past few months I've been working with Public Resource, a California based non-profit to release an extensive collection of older music for free use. In addition to audio, we'll be releasing the music as MIDI and musicxml. Last week we started posting a new featured piece every week on the Public Resource Soundcloud page (@PublicResource). Follow there, or look for frequent reposts here. It'll include classical music, pop music before 1927, ragtime, folk songs, and more. The main collection will be at the Internet Archive, and will be called the "Internet Jukebox". I'll post more about it as it grows.
