Hey Olla man, this is a wonderfully uplifting and enchanting song. Love the unconventional sounds you use in there, like what sounds like a bird call. Awesome song, man!

A big thank you to „The Neighbor“ for playing the guitars and to SuZanne Ledwith for this great and special vocal appearance, thank you so much…
Please take a closer listen to her work, it's amazing:

Bubbles

1.
Some bubbles don’t have the slightest clue
What public relation is capable to do
That  we don’t really know what we want
Because the real free will is not at hand
Some bubbles are just notorious
They tell you that they’re great and glorious

If you believe in what they’re bubbling of
If you believe in what they’re bubbling of
If you believe in that 
If you believe in what they are bubbling of

It still might just be
A product of the PR-industry

2.
Some bubbles think they’re superior
Consider all others inferior
They’ll never ever gonna get it why
Other bubbles can be LGTBI
Some bubbles are just really dumb
Thinking their leaders have the biggest trump

If you believe in what they are babbling of
You think you’ re entertained with lots of laugh
If you believe in that
If you believe in what they are babbling of

This works everywhere the same
Think!
Propaganda was it’s name
All of us just might be 
Influenced by the PR-industry

3.
Some bubbles are just smaller than
Other bubbles who are taller and
Some bubbles are just intolerant
They’re not indifferent `bout the difference
Some bubbles are just really tough
They never ever seem to get enough

If you believe in what they’re bubbling of
If you believe in what they’re babbling of
If you believe in that
If you’d believe in that

This works everywhere the same
Think!
Propaganda was its name
All of us just might be 
Influenced by the PR-industry

out
But if you’d think that there is something more
That there’ s a force that is in all of us
There might be a chance for us
If you believe in, if you believe in
Love

Up in the North
Down in the South
Deep in the West
And far in the East

Face The Music

Clouded Thoughts

When day breaks, we seek light in shadows, A journey to a hill forgotten by time’s flow. A sea of memories we must wade, Through whispers of ancient secrets laid.

We brave the belly of the beast, Where quiet isn’t always peace. Norms and notions, justice and just, In this unfinished nation, we place our trust.

The Climb to the Forgotten Hill

The Climb To The Forgotten Hill

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, sitar, mix, mastering, and production
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, electric piano, and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 

This song is the brainchild of Artur, who composed it on his guitar perfectly for collaboration, and presented it to us with his vision for the entire sound. Ken went first, of course, adding his signature rocking beat to the song. Josh went next, as soon as Ken had laid down the drums, adding his four string fretless bass sound to fill out the rhythm section. 
  Tez came along soon after, adding some foundational ornamentation with his guitar. JJ jumped in right after Tez, and laid in the majestic organ, riffing electric piano, and subtle synth you hear throughout. Finally, Stephen laid his guitar in there, too, which can be heard as a fiery melodic line running throughout. At Artur's suggestion, he also added some amazing, trippy sitar in a couple of spots, too.
  Once all the tracks were laid down, Stephen came through with his always skillful mix. This makes almost an album worth of material that The Eclectic Collective has created from Artur's ideas. We're always excited when he drops a new one in our laps. He wrote this on a sweet rainy day in the Polish summer. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
 
  We all appreciate your support, and encourage you to share this song if you've read the whole way down to the bottom here.

It’s been a great honor and pleasure to collab…
The picture shows my favorite tree in my favorite park

________________________________

The Tree

You are probably
An old tree
Standing exactly 
Where you should be
Your condition…
It is ideal

You’re obviously 
An old tree
Standing exactly
Where you should be
Rooted deeply 
Down in history,

Scratching solid rock,
That’s where you stuck
Your bark 
Is notched
Tells the whole story
From the bottom to the glory

Roots and crown they radiate
Where a far too early 
Meets a far too late
And your branches spread out with might
Spreading to the light
Expand into the light…
Expanding to the light

In the threatening heat 
You provide me a retreat
Just letting me breathe
Just for a little while
In an escalating delta 
You offer me a shelter
Oh, just letting me breathe
Just for a little while

Letting me breathe

Lean on you 
For a couple of ys
And get through…
And be inspired by you
And sing my way through 	    			

Lean on you 
For a couple of ys
And get through…

New Roses

Just looking, looking, looking, looking
For the latest blooms
Just looking, looking, looking, looking
For the sharpest thorns

But that is…						
But that is no easy find
And that is…					
That is not an easy thing
Cos’ there is…					
Not any validity
And that is…					
That is just a misery

In the garden of new roses
Wandering hidden paths
Must move with some adroitness
Or getting tossed

Into the underwood
Growing not so very well understood…

Still picking, picking, picking, picking
For a little more attention
Still clicking, clicking, clipping, clicking
For some solid numbers

But that is…						
But that is no easy find
And that is…					
That is not an easy thing
Cos’ there is…					
Not any validity
And that is…					
That is just a misery

In the garden of neurosis
Wandering hidden paths
Ahh, must move with some more adroitness
Ahh, already getting lost

In the underwood
The maze gets bigger than understood
In the underwood…
Where the new roses stood…

Oh,
Wait
Is it already that late ?
And we still hesitate
Let us concentrate…
Let ’s collaborate…
Yeah…
Seriously…
This is supposed to be
Just another love song
But
We cannot sort out heart from mind,
And that won’t be different this time

And with .4 k per second
Just spinning around ourselves

No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…

Let us concentrate - ah -
Here today
There is no escape…

No giggling please…
Let’s collaborate…
This is supposed to be
Just another love song
We won’t sort out heart from mind
And that won’t be different this time

And with 3,2 k per second,
Ahaa, ahaa…
Circling around the sun
Ohh,
No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…
It’s only one way…
One way-y-y-y-y-y-y-y…yeah…

- solo -

So many lovesongs have been sung
So why now again a further one ?
Because it must not be left undone
Cannot leave it undone
Cannot leave it undone…

Ohh,
There are turbulences

No joking please
There is trouble ahead
Hitting the unprepared -
Ohh, this is a hard way…

While we float
With some 30 k
Around the milky way
And other hundreds of k’s
Trundling other ways
Within a thousand days
That is quite a stray
Even if you don’t move a single hoof…

No giggling please
This is supposed to be another love song
No joking please
This is a far flight
No giggling please
This is a heart’s way
And it’s only…
It is only one way,
It is only one way…
