This song started as an idea Bill came up with on his acoustic guitar. Having found each other on the Cloud and enjoying each other's music, Josh and Bill decided to do a collab. Bill is a real deal guitarist, who's as prolific as he is skilled. Of course, Josh invited Eclectic Collective to the party, too.
  Shortly after doing so, he laid down a bass part to Bill's skeleton withi his four string fretless bass. Ken followed suit, and after a back and forth, completed the rhythms secion. JJ dug in next, adding the thrilling strings that highlight the high points of the melody. 
  There wasn't a whole lot of room for everyone on this, though, as Bill had the guitar parts nailed down tight. However, after sitting on the shelf for about half a year, Carl came along and added the missing piece with his raucuos vocals. Stephen also fattened up the sound a bit with his acoustic rhythm guitar.  
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to work his production, mix, and mastering magic on it, too, which he came through with, as always.
  This brilliant song almost didn't see the light of day. It sat for what felt like forever, until we decided to revive it. This will not be the last collab we do with Bill, though, who was generous in not only sharing his music with us, but allowing us to do whatever we wanted with it, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Shifty shire
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
Gerry's meandering
Not thinking of sane
What colourful friends can stop red rain?

With freedom waning
Conversation is paused
A few rich men failing
With solidarity cause
Shift the shire!
At minority we've baulked
That mind inconvenient
New red lines are chalked

State turf wars are on
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
For the rights of the white man
We missing those slaves
So legislate oppression
That skin 'aint red way

Out of time

A bit late for the end of summer, but I hope you enjoy this melancholic atmosphere.

This is a song I started composing in August 2024, with the idea of ​​featuring a real guitar solo, especially at the end. This summer, I approached Chris Grant @chris-grant-554540731 about joining the project. He loved the idea, and what I've included here is the result of that collaboration. His solo made a huge impression on me, and I'd like to thank him for his fantastic contribution. Without that guitar, this song wouldn't exist! Thank you so much, Chris!
If you want to listen to more of his amazing music, please visit his profile: @chris-grant-554540731!

I hope you enjoy his contribution and our song as a whole!

Propitiation

Called in dismay
And you heard my pain
With you on my side
Who could be afraid?

Was about to fall
Then I heard your call
Your words of living truth
Will never pass away

[chorus]

He is my strength
And our redemption
Better to trust in Him
Than to trust in man

He is our hope
And our salvation
Better to trust in Him
Than to trust in man

Right hand exalted
Wrought with power
Everlasting mercy
endures today

His propitiation
Is our salvation
He is the gate
the righteous way

[chorus]

This is the day
The Lord has made
hearts are remade
In His holy name

Thank Lord Jesus
For He is good
And His mercy
Forever endures

Propitiation

A song mourning the loss of Summer/youth/vitality

Autumn leaves are falling down
Heavy hangs my heart
Darkness closing all around
Slowly life departs

Cold and the dark leach the sunshine away
Colours fade and dim,turning to grey

Time is paused and life's on hold
Each day a waiting game
All the new is now the old
Different now the same

Cold and the dark leach the sunshine away
Colours fade and dim,turning to grey

Fading to Grey
