LYRIC

Where once I found delight
Reached out and held it tight
I nod in passing
Nothing here is lasting
Let cherry blossoms fall

They will return next spring
That’s the important thing
Falling from each limb
And though I’m not there to see them
They will still be seen
And though I’m not there to join you
Please raise a cup or two for me

Where once the world spun round
But we could hold our ground
Now we go whirling
Tumbling and twirling
No railing we can grasp 
We hear others calling
Fumbling and falling
Every breath a gasp
But we can’t stop for someone else 
We have to save ourselves

Where once time trickled by
Now it goes streaming/speeding by
And we’re swept away….




where once...

Cast of Characters:

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – Yamaha Genos 2 Synthesizer
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric giutar, production, mix, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- ovation acoustic guitar, vocals, and lyrics

This song began in Artur's jam room at his house, where he creates all of his amazing music on his Fender Jaguar, which is perfect for the surf sound, at which he's a master. He shared it with Josh, who shared it with the group.
  Before Josh could lay down a bass part to it, though, JJ came up with his elegantly moody synth and laid it down. The rhythm section, Josh and Ken, then did their usual dance, dialing it in with some back and forth. Stephen was next in line, adding a subtle duet with Artur's chords. Tez then played the ethereal lead throughout most of it. Stephen, after it was pretty much laid down, came through with the ripping wah solo towards the end.
  Once the music was all taken care of, Carl came up with some great lyrics for it, and sang them, as the newest member of the group. He also laid down an accompanying acoustic rhythm guitar part, too. After Carl did his thing, we turned it over to Stephen for a mix, which he did with his professional skill set.
  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock tunes Artur has shared with Eclectic Collective. If you dig the sound, he has plenty more great ones on his page, which are worth checking out, too. We tried to do this with a little nod to The Police, the band, not the profession. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. Thanks for listening.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Who said we're different
We got our genes and our names
One human mission
Heart fused like fission
Real collective brains

Pure pine for pure
Pleased though holds hands
Reel in one love
Filter for our sands

I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue
I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I Feel The Same As You-Eclectic Collective

Lyrics :
Mon désir en gouttes murmurées,
Comme un fleuve coule entre mes cuisses,
tu es la lune qui soulève mes marées,
l’écho de tes caresses tisse mes délices.

Je suis la paille et toi l’étincelle,
chaque soupir est une vague gourmande,
mon corps se cabre, vibre et ruisselle
Jambes ouvertes, je suis ton offrande,

Chorus :
Soixante-neuf, nombre magique
Clé d’un plaisir tendre à partager
Nous jouissons d’une même musique
Dans un bonheur souple et léger.

Toi aussi tu gémis et dégoulines
Tête bêche, je te rend la pareille
Un même désir symétrique nous anime
Quand nous dégustons nos merveilles.

Dans ma bouche ton plaisir éclos
Dans une onde tendre et soyeuse
J’explose aussi d’un puissant écho
Toutes deux, unies et heureuses.

Chorus :
Soixante-neuf, nombre magique
Clé d’un plaisir tendre à partager
Nous jouissons d’une même musique
Dans un bonheur souple et léger

Soixante-neuf

Lyrics 
Placed my fingers on her lips
She smiled and took them in
I turned the light switch down to low
And that's how it begins

She said Oooshallaooo
Oooshallaooo
She said Oooshallaooo
Oooshallaooo

Moved together like we were one
We had a need
The magic has only just begun
When she took my lead

She said Oooshallaooo
Oooshallaooo
She said Oooshallaooo
Oooshallaooo

Instrumental

It was time to go to sleep
The moon had gone to bed
She laid sleeping in my arms
And I had love was in my head

And I said Oooshalla
Oooshallaooo
And I said Oooshalla
Oooshallaooo
And I said Oooshalla
Oooshallaooo
And I said Oooshalla
Oooshallaooo

Lyrics

.... and in crazy time you said
      you drove this road down in
      your sleep, you didn't know
      the way
 ....and you drove ALONE
     you drove alone-on your own
     you drove alone

 Why do you want to be like me
 Why do you want to be Alone
 alone

 ....and in crazy time you said
     You drove this road in your sleep
     Nobody told you that  you are going
     the wrong way
     wrong way-wrong way.........

  Why do you want to be like me
 Why do you want to be alone
 alone

 ....and in this crazy time
     you drove this road in your sleep
     You never told any one
     You gotta go so fast
 ...so fast
 in your sleep

 Why do you want to be like me
 Why do you want to be alone
 Why do you want to be like me
 Why do you want to be alone

      You wanna Be
      You wanna Be
 ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alone    (with Stina of Creation)

This song is a collaboration with Darren Dopp, who wrote the lyrics and sketched out ideas for the rhythm and "feel" of the song. I came up with the instrumentation and melody.

Lyrics:

Too Far

You say you've gone too far
 You say you've gone too far
Since when, since when
Is this the way we are?

Such good matter, wanting.
Never awake not wanting you
You around, you around
Light winds coming down
From unbroken blue
Ever, oh ever, halo'd you.
Oh, baby, the things we'd do
Oh, the things we'd do.

But you say I've gone too far
You say I've gone too far -
Since when, since when
Is this the way we are?

Hours we lay and play
Wants so nonchalant
Life's a talking trick
Isn't it, isn't it.
Thinking it meant to be,
Thinking it meant to be
Mon dieu, baby,
Mon dieu to you.

Yeah, you say I've gone too far
You say I've gone too far
Since when, since whn
Is this the way we are?

Too far,
Too far,
Too far,
Too far
