My love is coming down now
to set me free.
She rides on the sun's rays
when she wants to visit me
and by the moon in the night
but she always seems to go away
before I've had enough of the dream.

Smile laugh and dance in the rain
from time to time.
The world will take 
everything you've got
and give it away.

Give me the facts
and proceed to collapse.
Summarize and discern and unlearn.
All I ever wanted was absurd.
All I never needed seemed to go 
without words

and it tears me apart
when I consider too much
but I obliterate the thought
because of the hex
upon everything I touch.
I try my best to stop it
but it seems like
I don't have the option
until I've learned my lesson.

Burning down the house tonight.
Don't go home until the morning comes.
The freaks and fiends are out tonight
and they're starving
for some of
everything you've got.
Watch your back
They'll never be caught
They can vanish in a blink.

Creatures in the Dark

Cast of Characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, mix and production
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- production editing
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – electric piano and organ
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 and PRS EG semi-hollow body electric guitar

This song began as a twinkle in Artur's eye a couple months ago. Hey composed it with his Jaguar, as that is the premium surf guitar out there, and shared it with Tez, who invited the rest of us onto the project. 
   Tez, being the first on the boat, added his thrilling guitar fills and solos first. It was kind of odd the way we did this one, in fact, with the melodic/chordal instruments first, followed by the rhythm section. Mark our production tech expert did some alignment for us right out of the gate, too. That said, JJ was next up to bat, adding his magical electric piano and soaring organ.  
  Ken was first up for the backline, adding his driving drums. Josh then finally added his fretless bass to the stew. But before he was done, Josh also added the guitar solo you hear from 1:30-1:55. 
  After it was all said and done, we asked Tez to mix it for us, as he is a master producer and mixer. 
  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock songs of Artur's we've been fortunate enough to get to play with. Hey is the surfingest Polish fellow you will ever come across, and a wonderful, familiar collaborator with Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

A Man and His Guitar

It's been a joy to collaborate with Seagull on a number of different projects over the last several years, but this song proved to be a more unique challenge for me musically; to try to create a guitar part for a Middle Eastern style of music.  I'll let you be the judge if we succeeded:)  Clara's vocals really define the song as Seagull's electric guitar and synths set the stage with bird song in the background.  He did an exquisite job of nestling the Godin nylon-string into the mix.
Minus the electric guitars of course, I do wonder if this type of music might have been heard in and around Palestine at the time of Christ's birth.  Was it echoing in the Magi's ears as they sojourned across the sands to worship and give gifts to the newborn King?  It is music that is pleading, emotional, calling out for peace to a world gone mad in its quest for power and wealth.  Regardless of one's faith or religion, Christmas can be a time and season of resetting one's values and outlook on life, perhaps a true "Genesis" of beginning again.

Gifts We Make For Christmas

The light is fading....

Lyrics

the hours I had waited for the chance

wait all alone the any hour

always get the chance

see the light in me is flickering out

oh the light in me is flickering out

I was going to expand this but think its a perfect short little tune. Will see if I change my mind lol

I was very happy when Viv agreed to collab, and then produced some beautifully inspired acoustic and bass, and loved what he created.
Many thanks Viv, it was fun working with you again!

Doo - Wood Pigeon
Daw - Jackdaw
Lyrics
An unlikely a pairing
As ever would be
The Doo and the Daw
In a strange harmony

One bustles, one struts
But their business is clear
The attaining of order
For survival so dear

Day after Day
In garden and field
They comb all the ground
For a hopeful yield

Blue eyes a watching
Should a chance appear
Or a playful encounter
With a friend, brings cheer

Thankyou to those of you who liked and commented last week when the vocal stem went out by mistake!

Take a Chance

Just messing around learning, experimenting, playing and expressing myself. My little collection of demos, songs, experiments and instrumentals. I hope you enjoy them. I'm a guitarist / Vocalist / Producer and enjoy learning to express my moods, emotions, dreams and thoughts as I go.

Thank you all for the likes comments and reposts.

I have added a support link as I am struggling to keep up my subscriptions here currently and it would help me keep on creating and posting more songs. Thank you if you read this far lol.
