boys a liar

brazil

come inside of my heart

trip of my life

people help the people

I am she

This song began its life when Chris put ass to chair and came up with it a while back. This is the latest of the massive song collection he laid on Eclectic Collective about a month and a half ago. Be prepared to hear a lot more of his songs coming through our fingers and voices, because we now have a plethora of great material from him. So, Chris came up with this arrangement on his acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and synth, but it was a pretty solid composition, even by his standards, and it had the magic already baked in.

  The first one of us to grab a hold of it was Carl, who immediately heard his vocal part, which he supplied with his always striking lyrics. JJ was the first instrumentalist to add his part, laying in the delightful organ, electric piano, and synth you hear throughout. Josh came out swinging next, adding his upright bass, which he bowed. He also added the delayed mandolin track you head trickling throughout, as well. Mark came along shortly after, adding his dramatic timpani, enchanting steel pan, cool triangle, arpeggiated synth, and synth effects to the mix. He also did some major editing, making room for Stephen's guitar solo, and adjusting some parts at the end. Mark also added some backing vocals, quoting George Harrison's Here Comes the Sun. If you listen closely, you can hear his Easter eggs in there. 

  At this point, the song sounded almost classical, especially Josh's bowed bass part. However, Ken still had something to say in here, adding his remarkable, driving drums to the whole thing. Josh, recognizing the sea change this created, added his fretless four-string to match Ken's kick. Stephen was able to blend the two in the production phase. But not before installing his absolutely thrilling electric guitar solo in there. Stephen did a wonderful job of producing, mixing, and mastering this for us, as always, when it was all in the can.

  This is the first song Carl has gotten to sing that Chris has written. We're all super excited to unleash this combo on the world. This song reminds Josh of one of his favorite bands, The Flaming Lips, too, which makes it a special treat for him, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Great nuclear beast

East horizon you meet

New life


Shine on us

Saving us from night


Birds take the first song

Beaks waking other ones

Wonder returns


Good morning sun

Just shine dear one

Sun shine on


Good greatest grace for thee

Dusts to Star

Our seed

Evolution breathes

Mass ejection beams


Our sun

Good morning

Fill good air with photon

The greatest good

Solar bent space time flood

Space fawn


Birds cannot be wronged

Once your fine light has songed

Wonder wound

Morning sound


Our dear Sun

Shine on





Good Morning Sun (Eclectic Collective)
