Moans from Inside

MMMMM...O
there hung an Iroquois sign
by the neon tubes above the Hang Moon Bar
music on the warm night air...bare thighs stickin to the hood of my beat up car
keepin to ice water...pullin tangles from my hair...catchin up on Old Town gossip
same old stuff, I swear
yea...and this hood still holds the heat
of too much highway...
the fever of the lines has lost its grip, and
sittin here - by the swingin pine
of the Iroquois sign
misfirin' neon gas
murmurin out the evenin
...at the Hang Moon Bar
and here I go...on
thighs stickin to the hood of my ole beat up car
yea...get on for a cruise
up to the drive in lot
tumbleweeds in congress with the old spent shells of my buckshot
roll me out tobacco for the ones who wander on
ghosts on the highway...
past the bar...with the Iroquois sign

  This is a song that JJ created late one Saturday night on the piano, drums, bass, and guitar. You can hear his Grateful Dead influence if you're familiar with the band. He then presented it to the rest of the Eclectic Collective so we could do our thing with it. Josh replaced JJ's rough bass with his interpretation of the line as soon as Ken replaced the drums with his interpretation of the beat. Interestingly, Ravel's Bolero had a lot to do with the inspiration for the second part of the song. After the rhythm section was done, we turned it over to Stephen, who came up with some really subtle, yet very necessary guitar lines. 
  We then turned it over to our relatively new collaborator, Mark, who came up with the lyrics and vocals. He was also instrumental in getting the arrangement to fit right with the vocals. This is a lyrical and vocal songwriting debut for Mark, who was inspired by his very first listen to JJ's rough draft. Thus, this song is extra special for him.  
 We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did creating it.
  Mark's lyrics are about our Earthly relatives in the far distant future. At that point life on earth would have just about reached its limits, and so mankind embarks on a journey through space to find another place to call home.

Lyrics:

Part 1:
All you know, all you love is here today
Feel the sun, see the flowers embrace her rays
And you know, all we have must fade away
And now its time to go… away…

Part 2:
Here we are, flying high, flying high above the moons of Mars
And beyond another sunrise greets a world once again,
a million miles from where we are
To embrace the flowers of Jupiter, once again…
On and on we sail away, searching for another day,
the universe an endless sea
And you know that somewhere out there,
a brand new world, for you and me….

Flowers Of Jupiter (Eclectic Collective)

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
