Building Castles In This Hourglass

I've

Got
Sand in my hair
Building castles in this hourglass
Lord it takes forever
Lord it takes forever

Sand in my hair

Lord it takes forever
Lord it takes forever

I've always got
Sand in my hair
Building castles in this hourglass
Lord it takes forever
Lord it takes forever...

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–sitar, mix, and production

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–electric piano, vocals

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion, vocals

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–lead guitar

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass guitar, vocals

  This song started with Artur composing a brilliant, open piece on his guitar, and sending it to Josh. Josh put the bass down on top of Ken's banging drums, but it took him a while to be able to get this one for some reason. Once he and Ken were locked in, though, they knew they had it. JJ then sprinkled his electric keyboard magic, followed by Tez, who lights up the whole thing with his electric guitar wizardry. 
  At Artur's request, Ken, JJ, and Josh added the big harmony vocals, "See you soon, in a better world." Artur wanted this song to be about the need for peace in the world. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen added the sitar intro. He also accomplished the herculean task of mixing and producing the whole thing for us.
  This is another true team effort by the Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

See You Soon (In a Better World) (Surfers Like Us with Eclectic Collective)

“This song is about saying goodbye” 

“1 HOUR TO GO” 

Since the beginning you were my friend 
I thought you would be here until the end

1 hour to go
I have to say goodbye 
You can’t stay and I just can’t say goodbye tonight

I know you’ve got it
You’ve got to go
Won’t you remember to call home? 

Please say “you’ll stay forever”
You know I won’t forget you 
Burnt in my mind for life
1 hour to go
I have to say goodbye tonight

Springtime

J'égrène les orgasmes
Du soleil et de son arc en ciel
Sur la bandaison des ombres
Où scintillent des sucettes à la clochette
Où clignotent des glaces en lactescence galactique
Dessinant le désir en danse de doigts
En stances salivaires
Prières purpurines 
Astrales à souhait
Astralement votre

Ton regard éclaire le monde de ta sagesse,
Tu portes en toi la vie, la passion, l'amour,
Tu es le pilier sur lequel repose le jour,
Que ton chemin soit parsemé de bonheur et de succès.
