Lyrics:

I'm a little different, not like everyone else
But I'm happy with that
I have nothing to prove
And I don't need a common groove

I walk around with a smile on my face
You may think, Is there something wrong
Well, I am just a satisfied woman
Living life, singing this song

So I´ll toast to a happy life
It can be challenging for sure
But if you get through it with a smile on your face
Can you ask for more? 

There is comfort in getting to live
It's not a given for me
Spend my life doing what I want
Allow myself to dream

I walk around with a smile on my face
And you may think, is there something wrong
Well I am just a satisfied woman
Living life, singing this song

So i´ll toast to a happy life
It can be challenging for sure
But if you get through it with a smile on your face
Can you ask for more?

If you get through it with a smile on your face
Can you ask for more?

A Happy Life (Original)

Lyrics: 

The American dream was more like a nightmare, 
But it kept calling, so I gave it a shot. 
At first it was hard, then it got harder

I’m an island girl born from the ocean, 
But I heard a buzz and it never stopped.
 The loudest city made me go quiet

I didn't always have a bed to lay in
so i had to choose between a home and my dreams

I can still hear the sirens when I close my eyes, 
I left the ocean for that concrete jungle life.
 I gave it my youth, my pride, my blood, my time
Now I’m back home, but the ghost of New York  still
haunts me sometimes.

I met a girl and everything changed
Not for the better, but for the worse. 
She was extroverted and colorful, 
Showed me love could be a curse.

We shared a room, eventually got married
But I felt trapped like a coffin in a hearse. 
I pretended to be happy
 Just to be strong enough for her.

I felt clipped inside, my smile was a lie
 ‘Cause as soon as she’d go to bed, I wouldn’t stop crying.

I can still hear the sirens when I close my eyes, 
I left the ocean for that concrete jungle life.
 I gave it my youth, my pride, my blood, my time
Now I’m back home, but the ghost of New York  still
haunts me sometimes.

we moved to Pennsylvania to afford the rent
then she stopped taking her meds
by the time she crashed her car, our life was a wreck
and i didn’t have much stamina left 

for as long as i could, i stayed
i laughed at her jokes even on my saddest days
but at some point i had a hard decision to make
do i keep pretending or do i get on a plane?

so i found myself again with nowhere to go, 
no money, and in love with a broken soul 
and i still feel guilty for leaving her behind, 
I feel guilty i couldn’t cure her mind

I can still hear the sirens when I close my eyes, 
I left the ocean for that concrete jungle life.
 I gave it my youth, my pride, my blood, my time
Now I’m back home, but the ghost of New York  still
haunts me sometimes.

I can still hear the sirens when I close my eyes, 
I left the ocean for that concrete jungle life.
 I gave it my youth, my pride, my blood, my time
Now I’m back home, but the ghost of New York  still
haunts me sometimes.

Now I’m back home, but the ghost of New York  still
haunts me sometimes.

Se me tranco no meu quarto
À procura de uma resposta
Escrevo numa carta amassada
O que aconteceu
Os motivos são certos
Eles são concretos
Mas não se completam
Porque minha cabeça agora não deixa
Não deixa não
Eu não estou afim!

Vai te embora daqui
Não vê que a porta está 
Trancada e eu não quero
Que você apareça

Ruim, ruim, ruim!
Pensamento Ruim

Nem tudo que tenho
É suficiente, é correspondente
Evito o princípio
Quero o sacrifício
A chave joguei fora
Só vou sair
Quando conseguir
Tirar você
De mim

Vai te embora daqui
Não vê que a porta está 
Trancada e eu não quero
Que você apareça

Ruim, ruim, ruim!
Pensamento Ruim

Hey! Pensamento Ruim!
Eu não sou assim!

Pensamento Ruim

J’AI RÊVÉ DE VOUS
VOUS M’AVEZ RÊVÉ
ET PUIS ON S’EST RÉVEILLÉS

WAS I IN YOUR DREAMS LAST NIGHT
YOU WERE IN MINE SO I FIGURED I MIGHT
COS WE ALL DREAM OF EACH OTHER
YES WE ALL DREAM OF ONE ANOTHER
ALL WILL BE FINE LAST NIGHT YOU WERE MINE

I’LL BE IN YOUR DREAMS TONIGHT
YES I’LL BE AROUND SOMEWHERE AFTER MIDNIGHT
COS WE ALL DREAM OF EACH OTHER
YES WE ALL DREAM OF ONE ANOTHER
AND OUT OF SIGHT AT NIGHT WE REUNITE

WE ALL DREAM OF EACH OTHER
YES WE ALL DREAM OF ONE ANOTHER
AND BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON SHINING BRIGHT
TONOIGHT YOU WILL BE MINE

WE WERE FRIENDS WE WERE FRIENDS

en rêvant à la source

Todas as vezes que amei
Todas as cores que pintei
Todas as chances que busquei
Todas as causas que ganhei

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho

Todas as vezes que eu chorei
Todas as vezes que meus sonhos foram apenas vindos
Todas as letras que lhe dei
Todas as frases formadas, juntos

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho

Um Caminho

Cast of Characters: 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Paul Reed Smith semi hollow body electric Guitar 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, Love Triangle ( ha!)
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song, in case you're not familiar, was written by Medeski, Martin, and Wood with guitarist John Scofield, and performed by them on an album eponymously named A Go Go. Josh has always been a huge fan of both MMW and J.S., and has always wanted to play more of their music, as he used to cover a couple of their songs in one of his main old bands. 
  Josh laid down the bass and after going back an forth a couple of times with Ken and his thrilling drums, they established the rhythm section. Soon after, Josh added his jazzy guitar, as well. We needed someone to play John Medeski's part, too, of course. So, we asked JJ if he'd do the honors, which he did in grand fashion. 
  Once it was all laid down, we needed a good mix, and no one is gooder than Stephen, so we asked him to mix it for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 
  This was a lot of fun to record, and we hope that comes through. This is a stripped down Eclectic Collective collab, where most of what we're all doing is improv. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
