Everyone gets lost - at some point at least. Like that dog in the picture.

OVER ME

Unendlicher Raum

Dedicated to the little Shrew our cat Yoda just killed playing with it in the garden. I saw it's last breath man. RIP Shrew, sorry buddy...

Lyrics written last night... It's wasn't meant to be about the Shrew but I suppose the best Shrew ever is the perfect representation of what it is about...

All of us and everything as equal (🌌=🐀)=Future
So say a 🫛

The song is 99.9 bars long to pay homage to Sir Shrews final moments...


Mind Microscopic

Tell us a story
One of life
Paint it with pen
Word colourful wife
Marry reality now good fine fjord
Unjulate silently coastal smoothed chord
Pen ponder today
Page approve this great zest
When simple we say
Safe proof of our chest

The treasure is thoughtless
Empty we widen
Wist lightened weight
Anti-matter pen finding
Silence unsealed for this story of ink
Define pictured world as we opposite blink
calm goes the reason
Being it made more
Year for four season'
Quart' beam themed flower

Some paint through cold
The spring full of life
Tone tended phonic of fuse made might
Shown, not told
Perspective of honest
Cloned unique know
Evolution upon us
Brevity braved
Be bulldozer brilliant
D7 saved
Complication resiliant

Duality droned
Treat conflict as thinned
Gruel human race
On your feet like the wind
With leaf power blow
Bow to your psalm
Appreciate zoned locks of name good golden
Elliptical haven
This heaven marks dust
We are woke to this brazen epiphanic life crust

Scene cares to curate
A fearless calmed fuss
Musings are malleable
Truth as new just
Dawn Daisies do daintiest dance as examples
Gaia be grind
Tend system with us
Higher universal bind
Light wisted weight flush
Magnetic mind control
Neuroplastic seed opposite
Beamed optimistic
Make dark microscopic

Oh Ai Oh rise
Oh kind tropic
Mind microscopic
Oh bind the topic
Oh mind microscopic
Oh kind tropic
Oh mind microscopic
Ohhhhhh ohhhhh oh oo Oh



Notes
This song was supposed be about the irony of how thinking too much a lot of the time hides our actual wisdom. I had been considering the reason as "our version of reason" up to the point of our thoughts flow. this can get warped and bias quite easily. What I've found with writing is that it's when I'm at my most relaxed and thinking about nothing at all, is when I get the most complicated lyrical thought flow. I'm considering it's down to switching off my current bias thought which is filled with emotion and reactive to the environment. Where as Buddha mode, which my Grandad would say is us in our subconscious (Bill was an amazing poet) seems to offer a better delivery of the wisdom we have learned via intuitive access. In the moment it feels like a simultaneous firing of everything up there but at the same time is effortless. It's an incredible contrast between a non meditative state and that tranquil one where counterintuitively one would assume your not getting answers.... TBC

The Shrew makes it important as the Shrew lives on instinct... As does Yoda somewhat... He saw a thing moving he's never seen before and acted on instinct. The Shrew was just being a Shrew and being it's instinctual self. Our ability to reason so well has maybe got us out of touch with our instinct way too much and hence we create this bias avatar with regularily very questionable ego based views of reality  (me included obviously)


The Shrew doesn't live in its mind in the sense that it can't be distracted from a mission by a detailed reasoning of its environment and is guided by its instinct. Maybe we do live in our minds too much, my Aunt and spiritual guide always telling me I do anyways...

Time to meditate more maybe and get better at switching off the noise 🔆 Shrew power 🤍

This song began more than a year ago, when Josh created a song out of a looper beat with his four string fretless bass. It sat on the shelf until a few weeks ago, when he shared it with JJ, who was in creative mode one Saturday evening. Josh had actually forgotten that he'd added a bass line to it, and thought he was just passing on a looper beat for JJ to play with. 
  However, JJ heard it, and was so excited that added his magical electric piano part, making it sound like a real song, instead of just drums and a bass. Ken also heard some magic in here, because he came up with his own brilliant beat to replace the looper that was used in for the seed. Mark was next to throw in, adding the striking drum pattern breakdown, and the thrilling flute solo, as well. Tez came in shortly after, adding his thrilling guitar to the mix. After everyone had added their parts, Josh came back and added two guitar parts, the simple low end line, as well as the high strumed triads. At this stage, Mark did some editing, as it is in his skill set, and made it less dense and easier to listen to. 
  Now that the song was musically complete, out newest member, Carl, dropped the amazing vocals you hear, singing his original lyrics. After Carl was done sprinkling his magic in it, we needed an able producer to bring out the magic of the recordings. Good thing we have a trained producer to do the job in Stephen, who mixed and mastered it superbly, as always. 
  This is Eclectic Collective's first fore into the afrobeat genre, although a few of us are really big fans already, and Josh has a few other originals in this genre buried on his page, as well. As always, we all enjoyed the process of hearing this one come together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:Juice our Jah
Chalice of chime
Shooting star
Great rhythm
There's blood in the brine

Suture Sun
Grand heaven high
'Some clan gone cruel
Needing collective eye

Eclectic host
Hoist our hale
Mused healing feast
Musical breeze as gale

Afro beat
Oh melody sweet
Beat afro
Show us where to go

Purgatory path by j. gardiner


there's really nothing left to say
but i'm going to say it anyway
thought i heard a whisper of the truth
but it didn't matter like i thought i might

Could have been an echo or the humming of a sharpened blade of steel
sliding in the rails of Revolution, the hounds are on the loose, they're on the trail.
The inhabitants are stark raving mad, this is documented well-

Fallen back to when the Radio played Paradise
falling into you, falling into you, i can't stop,i can't stop
i can't stop falling down the rabbit hole of passionate replys
i didn't even know, i didn't even know
that i was broken
till i found some bits of me, lying on the sacred ground in a dusty field, in a fever dream
just this side of town...  every time he turns around,he doesn't even know what he is feeling disconnected from
he only finds that he is further down the purgatory path
still hoping for some Reverie
even though it's no longer free
but just this Now in the evening's quiet Twilight
all concerns appear as superficial, like she said,"the more i learn, the less i know" and i concur--

I Concur with TexMex Shaman & MJ Brewer

The words are from a poem that my grandad composed just before he was killed in action in world war 2. This poem was about my mum and my family didn't know the existence of this poem only until my mum passed away 6 months ago. The lie low in the photo he used to escape from Dunkirk and there is the only photo of my mum "baby blue" and her beloved farther. 

Coz your my baby blue,

This was the demo vocal I sent to the lads for perusal. Full finished track below and connect with all involved easily if you wish 🫡🎶🧬
