Seeking Sorrow

Ok...  I'm just having a pint after work, y'know, it's been a long day - it's me right.
Well, I see this very attractive woman: she doesn't look happy, mind, she looks sad.

Me? Well, I'm here on vacation. I'm just a country girl in the city, where there's lots of twits about. Well... not as many as you'd think actually. Ah, still, I was very lonely... and then I saw him, in a pub...
and so it began...

Well, everyone was still and now they dance around

It’s like the music is grooving through the fabric of the town
You look to me and the fire glows

The landlord laughs and everybody knows
A few words, a hello, a 'how-do-you-do'

You stupid bloody peasant and the words that you use
You know it’s not the vodka that’s burning in my veins
It’s the power of love igniting into flames

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

There’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A man to lean on and adore

A look will do when words won’t say

I try to talk and for once my words
Come out my mouth and are clearly heard

I listen I laugh - you’re a goofy prick
I toss my hair as I feel us click

It’s like my life so far has been biding time
Til I meet you and my world begins to rhyme

I see all the colours that were hidden in haste
When I learned the pain of love laid waste

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

So, there’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A love to protect and adore

A look will do when words can’t say

Do... you think ye mightn't fancy another?

Well, I suppose... but only if you're paying

Lyrics

What do I have to say
To make you stay
The world is turning now
Without me

Why do you have to keep
Just letting me retreat
This worldly learning is 
So lonely

Take my hand, dear
Help me to stand, dear
It thaws my heart, just
To have you near

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith 
Or finally arrive

You used to bring me
Coffee in the morning
You used to kiss me in the rain
I remember times so full of yearning
Oh will we ever feel that way again

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith 
Or finally arrive

Discoloration

Adagio Aboensis

Chop Suey!

Strawberries
Summerfruit
feels like
orchard music

water mellons
Huckleberries
Peaches, Pineapple, Plums
Apricot
   and quince . . . 
 
I don't need more
to be convinced

Summerfruit in the kitchen
you don't know what you're missing...

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song started as a guitar skeleton that had been a twinkle in Tez's eye several years ago. He'd been hanging on to it in hopes of finding a suitable home for it. When he introduced it to the Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it. First up was Ken, laying in his dynamic, powerful drums and percussion. Then Stephen laid down some fiery fills as well as a solid comp part on his guitar. That's about the time Mark started messing with it. He added some great VST fiddle, some real mouth harp, and piano and began working on the lyrics and vocal melody. Josh was atypically late to the party, but managed to get his bass in there, too, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ was next up with his splendid organ and synth to fill in the sound. 
  By this time, Mark had written and recorded some absolutely stunning vocals, which he added to the mix. We all decided that it had a Rod Stewart/Faces vibe to it, so we tried to amplify that flavor. To this end, Josh dropped in a mandolin part, as well.
  At this point, the song was kind of flat, though, in terms of overall dynamics, so the decision was made to amp up the crescendo at the end. Ken summoned his best Keith Moon energy, and Tez laid down a killer solo, while Stephen added the big Townsend chords. 
  Mark had been editing and mixing the whole time, and did such an excellent job with it, we decided to go with his mix from the group project. Stephen did master it masterfully before we put it out here, too, though.
  We're really proud of this song and hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Please remember to "share" it if you dig it. Thanks for listening!

Original lyrics by Mistermark:

Never was one for being sociable
but lordy knows how I tried 
every time I tried to talk to a girl 
she would always run away and hide

Nobody told me 
nobody cared
nobody told me 
the girl was scared

Back at the party you asked me to dance 
but I didn’t know what to do 
my two left feet had me runnin’ round in circles 
so I always came back to you 

Been so long since somebody held me 
made me feel i’m gonna win
but drinkin' that jug o’ juice gonna help me 
when I’m takin' it on the chin 

Nobody told me 
nobody cared
nobody told me 
they never dared

another party you ask me to dance 
and I don’t know what to do
my two left feet got me runnin’ round in circles 
and I'm still coming back to you...
