Corporate mania TOTALLY corrupt
White collar chumps choppin Truffula trunks too much
Yeah their chucking out junk too much
Turf f@KKKin' and earth soul suckin and lusting for blood too much
Crop-dusting's f@KKKed the Earth's crust enough
Corporate cowboys profit cuts using oil for a crutch
Yeah our governments$ are corporate slut$
Selling more of our souls to Hell to burn for a short term buck

This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.
  Mark heard his part first and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning. 
  The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well-rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.
  Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.
  This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by, 
Mistermark:

The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind 

there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind

how could I have been so blind?

 

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me 

it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea

the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home 

the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown 

on their own


“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play” 

our leaders assured us we’d never go poor

and nobody questions the truth anymore 

but what did we do it all for?

 

Our science sustains us like fine works of art

but are we closer together or farther apart?

we’re each on an island alone on the sea

the ocean between us expands rapidly

is this where we wanted to be?

 

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me 

it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be

machines tried to help us but something went wrong

the future we wanted was here all along

 

The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind 

there were words left unsaid…

1~
In a world of noise, we shape the sound
Every word, is a twist, a turn around
Echoes dance in electric threads
Jazz meets rock, where the current spreads

What stories do we weave tonight?
In the rhythm, let’s take flight.

2~
It's a curious thought, a fleeting glance
The world goes fast, I want to dance
An echo of dreams, a timeless trance
Don't you feel this chance?

We’re dancing shadows under neon lights
In this vibrant world, we chase the heights.

3~
In a world where chaos reigns, I speak,
Words stumble like shadows, yet I seek,
The rhythms of life, in jazz and rock,
Echo truths, ticking like a clock.

So tell me the story, let it unfold,
In eclectic whispers, let the truth be told.

4~
In the twilight, echoes of a tale unfurl
Words weave like shadows in this swirling world
Byte-sized thoughts dance on the edge of time
A canvas painted with rhythm, so sublime

Listen close, a story speaks anew
In the silence, find the truth of you

5~
Whispers sing as they play
t'was of that day, lost in notes that sway - that sway
Voices supple as they sing
Dreams will run away like children's shadows play
Let the night embrace....embrace
All the hearts in space...in space

6~
In a world so vast voices blend and shimmer
with echoes of the past
feel the light grow dimmer

Words float like whispers
IN THE TWILIGHTS EMBRACE !
