Sweet rhythm sweet sweet soul track! 😎 Feels like Home

A tune I wrote for my partner-to-be who likes stargazing back when we were dating. If anything, it was a good indication that I'm not always in tune and on time. Been together for 4 years, apparently it wasn't enough to scare her off. :) Love ya, mate.

Shyntwirl - The Last Rays Of The Sun Of The Day

Cast of characters:

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — Ovation guitar, lead vocals, lyrics, and compostion

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Chinese gong and VST cello

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – light VST Latin percussion, synth, and piano

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, chant vocals at the end 

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

 This song is the fourth Carl has written and composed with a member of Eclectic Collective in mind. This time JJ is being honored, and we all agree that he deserves it, too. Carl is a wonderful singer, songwriter, composer, and musician, and we're all grateful that he's joined our collective. 

  Here's what Carl had to say about it. "The music for this was a personal song written to myself which I never really released as I was trying to say goodbye to my own ego in the song. From that point of view I have always seen the piece as a great bit of personal therapy for me. None of the original lyrics survived and JJ gets painted by the new words .. But I thought it would be nice to reuse the composition for this. There was no big reason for it only when I decided to start a 60bpm song for JJ on piano .. I started playing Goodbye Ego and the rest is history..."

  We tackled this song like we would any other, though. Mark was first up on this, adding his VST magic in the form of a Chinese gong, as well as the cello you hear throughout. The subject of our adulation came next, with JJ adding not only his hot, yet minimal Latin percussion and essential piano, but moody synth, as well. Ken added his spicy drums after that, and once they were down, Josh jumped in with his four string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Josh also added the vocal chant at the end.

  All that was left was for Stephen to mix it all down for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 

  As stated above, this is a continuation of our songs about us. Hope no one thinks it's arrogant. When Carl presents us with these little treasures, it's hard not to run with them, though. Always a ton of fun to make music together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.


Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Praying hands
Whatever cause
Once our greater good not lost
Bored children create their fun
We shelve French horn for this fine one
"Nice one lads" We read it all!
Vacation taken
To JJ calls
Neighbour to good Mickey Moore
Find Michigan piano pure

JJ calls
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us

Down the road city of cars
To Howell front deck
Dad and Guitars
We jam that love then tell the world
Love and service human highway knurled
Good bi-product of happiness sought
With Croatian fun to cloud we court

Terrell Terminator in Jungle
Predator for good
Keys like Mr Bungle
Faith in more like we could
He Thanks you
It's lifestyle
Built from a porch
Good collective friend
Keep lighting that torch

Some moments sealed, marked and moulded
Pure intention
Dark blindfolded
Howl from human to Howell good soul
Keyed keystone as collective role

JJ calls
Darkness falls
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
JJ calls

JJ calls
Just for us

JJ Calls - Eclectic Collective

Dedicated to the little Shrew our cat Yoda just killed playing with it in the garden. I saw it's last breath man. RIP Shrew, sorry buddy...

Lyrics written last night... It's wasn't meant to be about the Shrew but I suppose the best Shrew ever is the perfect representation of what it is about...

All of us and everything as equal (🌌=🐀)=Future
So say a 🫛

The song is 99.9 bars long to pay homage to Sir Shrews final moments...


Mind Microscopic

Tell us a story
One of life
Paint it with pen
Word colourful wife
Marry reality now good fine fjord
Unjulate silently coastal smoothed chord
Pen ponder today
Page approve this great zest
When simple we say
Safe proof of our chest

The treasure is thoughtless
Empty we widen
Wist lightened weight
Anti-matter pen finding
Silence unsealed for this story of ink
Define pictured world as we opposite blink
calm goes the reason
Being it made more
Year for four season'
Quart' beam themed flower

Some paint through cold
The spring full of life
Tone tended phonic of fuse made might
Shown, not told
Perspective of honest
Cloned unique know
Evolution upon us
Brevity braved
Be bulldozer brilliant
D7 saved
Complication resiliant

Duality droned
Treat conflict as thinned
Gruel human race
On your feet like the wind
With leaf power blow
Bow to your psalm
Appreciate zoned locks of name good golden
Elliptical haven
This heaven marks dust
We are woke to this brazen epiphanic life crust

Scene cares to curate
A fearless calmed fuss
Musings are malleable
Truth as new just
Dawn Daisies do daintiest dance as examples
Gaia be grind
Tend system with us
Higher universal bind
Light wisted weight flush
Magnetic mind control
Neuroplastic seed opposite
Beamed optimistic
Make dark microscopic

Oh Ai Oh rise
Oh kind tropic
Mind microscopic
Oh bind the topic
Oh mind microscopic
Oh kind tropic
Oh mind microscopic
Ohhhhhh ohhhhh oh oo Oh



Notes
This song was supposed be about the irony of how thinking too much a lot of the time hides our actual wisdom. I had been considering the reason as "our version of reason" up to the point of our thoughts flow. this can get warped and bias quite easily. What I've found with writing is that it's when I'm at my most relaxed and thinking about nothing at all, is when I get the most complicated lyrical thought flow. I'm considering it's down to switching off my current bias thought which is filled with emotion and reactive to the environment. Where as Buddha mode, which my Grandad would say is us in our subconscious (Bill was an amazing poet) seems to offer a better delivery of the wisdom we have learned via intuitive access. In the moment it feels like a simultaneous firing of everything up there but at the same time is effortless. It's an incredible contrast between a non meditative state and that tranquil one where counterintuitively one would assume your not getting answers.... TBC

The Shrew makes it important as the Shrew lives on instinct... As does Yoda somewhat... He saw a thing moving he's never seen before and acted on instinct. The Shrew was just being a Shrew and being it's instinctual self. Our ability to reason so well has maybe got us out of touch with our instinct way too much and hence we create this bias avatar with regularily very questionable ego based views of reality  (me included obviously)


The Shrew doesn't live in its mind in the sense that it can't be distracted from a mission by a detailed reasoning of its environment and is guided by its instinct. Maybe we do live in our minds too much, my Aunt and spiritual guide always telling me I do anyways...

Time to meditate more maybe and get better at switching off the noise 🔆 Shrew power 🤍

An atonal, twelve-tone composition, taking some inspiration from the Webern approach to atonal music and just making it very compact. To me that approach legitimately does make the atonal "sound" easier to digest. Bite-sized pieces. Hope you enjoy!

Freedom is a state of mind
Happiness is a concept
You can create the life you love
Take control
Slay those demons
Break the bonds (addictions / fears) that enslave you

Embrace creation
End (self) destruction

Empower yourself 
Seize the moment
The time is now
