I never felt more powerless than the day I met her

Swept Away

That day that we first met
From a time I can't forget
Babe you quickly took control
You reached deep into my soul

I was nothing very cool
Just your average silly fool
Wondered what you saw in me
Another hopeless charity?

Swept away

I felt it instantly
Some have called it destiny
I could see no one but you
In an instant I was through

You knocked me off my feet
So much power yet so sweet
Your love scrambled up my brain
I went happily insane

So swept away
Swept away
Nothing else to say
I am swept away

So sweetly swept away

A light with style and grace
And that classic lovely face
With your striking gentle smile
Stalking my heart all the while

You've a way I can't describe
So forgive this diatribe
This moment comes along one time
So historic yet sublime

I never had a chance
My whole world just went askance
You know exactly what you've done
Blotted out the Summer's sun

You have shredded my lost heart
Tore my past life all apart
Oh God please just let her see
That for her it's only me

So swept away
Swept away
Nothing left to say
I am swept away
Swept away
Swept away

Babe I love your way

I am swept away

So sweetly swept away

Swept Away

I had a holiday in Sweden in August and went on a steam train.  This is what it felt like to me.

Lyrics

Baby, I know your favorite things
Like strawberries and burgundy wine
Yellow daisies in summertime
The view of Atlanta’s skyline

Oo, oo, oo
I want to give them all to you
Every day of my life
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
All my love for you
Every day of my life
Will you be my wife

Honey, I share your future dreams
A little place outside the city
With a front porch and tire swing
Where we can start a family

Oo, oo, oo
I want to give them all to you
Every day of my life
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
All my love for you
Every day of my life
Will you be my wife

Darling, I know what’s in your heart
And I believe that it beats for me
Hopes that we will be together
Forever and eternity

Oo, oo, oo
I want to give them all to you
Every day of my life
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
All my love for you
Every day of my life
If you’ll only say ‘I do’

Derek Griffiths's Album

Every Day of My Life  - Collaboration with Del Griffiths

Tripping over memories of you 
I’m tripping up
Tripping over melodies of you
I’m tripping up 
I waited all day for no reason 
But you might show
Faces come and go
People I may once have known and 
Now i know im lost without you 
Knowing I can’t be beside you
Now I just can’t find my feet

Always I slow down 
Try to let my blow mind catch up
Sunshine on a winters day 
Made me remember
Now I know I’m lost without you 
Knowing I can’t be beside you
Now I just can’t find my feet 
Now I just can’t find my feet at all
Tripping over memories of you 
Tipping over melodies of you 

I waited all day …for no reason..but you might show up.

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – PRS semi-hollow body electric guitar


This is a song that Frans wrote, recorded, and gave to Josh to share with the Eclectic Collective. Frans is playing all the foundational instruments of the incredibly intricate yet perfectly foundational rhythm section, including Fender electric bass, Roland synthesizer bass, Gibson SG electric guitar rhythm, Godin electric guitar slide background, trumpet background, horn section, including alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, Gibson 335 electric guitar background rhythm, a full set drum kit, percussion, cowbell, and tambourine. All of Frans's music is a dazzling display of solo work on top of a dense, rock solid rhythm section. 

So, in that spirit, this song is a display of all of us taking 12 bars to show what we can do.
Tez was first to add his expert blues guitar in the section right after the opening vocals. Josh took the next slot, with the notey second guitar solo on the first chorus section. Stephen added his fiery guitar next, in the last two slots, after the second verse. JJ was next in line, though, bringing his piano and organ to the mix, both in a support role throughout, and in the piano solo between Josh's solo and the second verse. Ken, then came up with some lyrics and sung the whole thing for us, very ably and in the propper spirit of the song (which was named randomly by Frans). 

  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, and we tapped Stephen to do the honors here, as he's our resident expert producer. 

 We are all honored and very grateful to Frans, whom we all respect and admire to a very high degree, for sharing this with us. On the off chance you aren't familiar with him, do yourself a favor and check out his page. He's as talented a multi-instrumentalist as you'll ever come across, with hours of astounding music on his page.

  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we all enjoyed creating it.

Original Lyrics by K2 and the Three:
I got a bull legged woman,
You know that’s where it’s at
Gotta bull legged woman 
You know that’s where it’s at
The devil may care, 
but he don’t know thin from fat
Well!!

I got a bull legged woman 
You know that’s what I got
I got a bull legged woman
You know that’s what I got
A dope ass Betty
5’ 4”, and she’s smoking hot
 
Hey fellas, can I get a witness?

I got a bull legged woman 
you know that’s what I have
Gotta bull legged woman 
You know that’s what I have
She’s all stacked up, she’s mine
And she’s got the Jazz

Bull Legged Woman by Frans Beelaard with The Eclectic Collective

A portrait of Earth before anyone was there to remember it.

ELON-EAR-0022 - Vine

COSMOS: Night of the Sky-River is a ceremonial, drum-driven vision-quest told as one long night. A circle of young warriors gathers at the village fire and, under the guidance of a shaman, is led into a shared cosmic journey.

Powwow-style big drum, water drums, frame drums, foot-stomp rhythms, rattles, chanting on open vocables, and a lone wooden flute carry the story from first sparks of flame to the pale light of dawn. Each track is a different phase of the initiation: gathering, trance, the sky opening, crossing a star-river, trials among constellations, meeting the ancestors, claiming a steady warrior heart, and returning to the fire changed.

By the end of Sun on New Faces, the night feels like an epic myth: boys went out under the stars and came home as men, with the drumming as the bridge between earth and sky.
