Polyglot’s Polysilence: lyrics scroll down    Remastered: Bandlab

With all that amazing music i discovered on soundcloud, i listened for hours and hours, without restriction, until my brain was cooking...
I discovered on the SC of Pieter Rotthier POLYGLOT, where he sings that he "keeps silent in any language"

We all need some silence, but in the meantime, here's the result of our collab:

Polyglot’s Polysilence

Listen to the silence, it has so much to say  
 Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom  
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleraration from the intolerant and kindness from the unkind; yet strange i am ungrateful to those teachers 
Listen to the silence, it has so much to say  

Blij bang Boos of stapelzot vertel ik met kleine vlakken
Tragisch drama komisch lot, teken ik met gitaarklanken     
Papier krijt en Strijkorkesten 
vormen samen de achtergrond , laatste noten houtskool resten  en ’t verhaal wordt afgerond

Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom
Listen to the silence,  it has so much to say  

Noem me maar een polyglot want ik zwijg  in alle talen
Geef me maar dat Spreekverbod, het papier geeft jou verhalen
Noem me maar een polyglot want ik zwijg  in alle talen
 Geef me maar een spreekverbod 
De muziek kan mij vertalen               

Noem me maar een polyglot want ik zwijg in alle talen
Want ik zwijg in alle talen
het papier geeft jou verhalen
       
   ****
Listen to the silence it has so much to say
And if you ask me questions
Like what, where and why
I refuse to confess and i learned to deny

You  messed it up, the anwers you seek
You think you can force me to speak, 
There ’s more than meets the ear and eye. 
I never tell you what’s the truth 
And whats the  lie,

Back when I was in grade school in Chicago, during music class, we would sing folk songs.  One of those songs was about the Erie Canal.  That one song: “ I’ve got a mule, her name is Sal…”. Anyhow, I used the chorus of that song as the chorus for our song.

That song was “Lo Bridge, Everybody Down” written by Thomas S Allen in 1912.

Erie Canal

Cast adrift 
On this river of time
Who’s that in front 
Who was left behind 

Life lifts you up
And spins you blind
Then casts you adrift 
On this river of time

One place
One time
When your life
Drifted into mine

Once here
Now gone
Only a splash of memory 
Lingers on and on

Low bridge
Everybody down
Low bridge 
Cause we’re coming 
To a town

And you’ll always
Know your neighbor
And you’ll always 
Know your pal
If you’ve ever navigated
On the Erie Canal

The Eclectic Collective -- composition

This song began its life when Ken came to us with a series of drum skeletons about half a year ago with the intent of starting several McDonald's themed songs that The Mysterious Decibel was writing for the group. Well MD had some life getting in the way and then decided to pursue another project full time, leaving us with four solid songs, but without vocals. Ken ended up supplying the solid lead vocals and harmonies you hear the whole way through, with original lyrics that he also wrote.
  But before any of that happened, we got this song together. Stephen was first up, coming up with the main guitar riffs that carry the whole way through. Josh responded quickly to the his guitar parts with some matching bass to go along with it. 
  About this time, Mark heard a funky break in there, and so installed every part of it all on his own, including the clavinet, organ, bass, and drums. Although, Ken is also still playing in the break, as well. When we had it pretty well set, Tez came along and added some fiery guitar to go along with Stephen's. 
  Once we had it in the can, we turned it over to Mark for his expert mix. Stephen mastered it for us, too, for the final, winning touch.
  This ended up being a satisfying product of The Eclectic Collective's teamwork. We hope you enjoyed listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original Lyrics by K2 and The Three:

I built my library, by burning it to  the ground
I live my life, through all this singing sound
Can’t remember, what then we should’ve done
It’s up to you, now, you’re the chosen one

Scaling the riverbank
Scaling the riverbank
Scaling the riverbanks
Scaling the riverbanks

Till we reach solid ground
Pit for play dirt(pay dirt)
Muddy water all around
Sift the sandbox
There’s gold in them thar hills
Treasures lying
Skills to pay the bills

Hanging on and on
…. and I, can’t find my way up!

New to you, It’s goo to you
New to you, It’s goo to you
New to you!

Scaling the River Banks
Scale the riverbanks
Scaling the riverbanks till we reach solid ground
Scaling the riverbanks till we reach solid ground

Hanging  on and on
And I can’t find my way up!

Scale the River Banks
Scaling the riverbanks!

Scale the riverbanks!

Lyrics
Are you lost?
Feel beaten?
Wrapped in film…
The costs unreasoned?
Do they matter, the green ones…
Materials, plastics, drones of dream on

Who lost?
Who's been beaten?
Insular sued
The cost for freedom
Be your boss
Make matter mean more
Dreams is on
With Sun we soar

I've not lost?
Feel unbeaten?
Wrapped in film…
The costs unreasoned?
Do they matter, the green ones…
Materials, plastics, drones of dream on

We’ve landed
We’re here
Alien deities with no fear!

Drones of Dream

Perfect for late drives, rooftop sessions, or moments when you just need to escape.

Away In The Sunshine

Dreams from pre-birth of trees in blossom.
