Reunion

Another track that floated unfinished in the digital recorder (and my) memory for a few years, changed several times (only the piano and bass parts remained the same). At first I wanted to do something similar to the opening themes of 1960s TV football programmes; then, by adding and subtracting parts and instruments, it reminded me of Viennese Kaffeehäuser from the early 1900s. Perhaps because of the many overlapping strings: here seem to be many people talking, some even alone. Since this impression does not displease me, I decided to end the long agony of the piece.

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 
  I was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once I had done that, I started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so I came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, I added a harmony part on them. I also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 
  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.
  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you dealing with all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A simple woweluja
Simple halleluja

Wowlelujah (Eclectic Collective with Jeff Roberts)

Tes yeux
Ta voix
Le son
De tes pas

Je me demande
Pourquoi
Je suis pas
Avec toi ce soir

Sans tes bras
Autour moi
On se vois plus
Je me sens nu

Je t'entends pas
Je t’écoute plus
Je n’en peux plus 
Je m’en fous

Je reste
Tu sors
Je me mens
Tu m’ignores

C’est qui
L’autre   
C’est moi
Ou le paramour

Regarde
Ton corps
Il est fixé 
Dans la photo du

Premier moment où
On se voit
Où on se touche
Où on s’entend 

Je la touche
Je la repare
Je la copie
Je la remplace
Connaitre toi
C’est le meme
De connaitre
Un corp mort

Echanger l’un
Pour l’autre
N’est rien
Que poursuivre la vie

La bouffe
Le sexe
Se trahir
S’epanouir

Paramour part II
