This song began when Joe, feeling a bit nostalgic, wrote the lyrics and composed it on his acoustic guitar. He recorded it and sang it with expert harmonies, then decided to share it with Eclectic Collective. We were all very excited to get work on our second song with Joe, as we all admire his songwriting.
  First up was Tez this time, oddly enough. He was able to identify all the fill spots and light up the solo without the rest of us even adding anything yet. Next came Ken, who usually goes first, adding his steady grooving drums and tasty percussion. Once the drums were down, Josh completed the rhythm section by adding his fretted bass. He also worked out an organ part to give the whole sound a bit of thickness. Also adding some thickness and texture, Stephen added a clean electric rhythm part, as well. 
  Once we had it in can we asked Stephen to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This, as mentioned, is Eclectic Collective's second song with Joe, and we all enjoyed bringing it to life with him. He's a wonderful collaborator and an all around good dude. Do yourself a favor and go check out his page, which is rich in great songs. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino:

If you find yourself in trouble and you think you've lost your way. 
Here's hoping that you find a path to a better day.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope you find all the answers to all those questions vexing you.
I hope you can find a way not to bite off more than you can chew.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality
All those places that you said that you wanted to see.
I hope they're as good as you expected them to be.
I want you to know that you hold a special place in my heart.
I think about you often even though we are apart.
They say that when you love somebody sometimes you gotta be willing to let them go.
You gotta let them spread their wings and fly wherever the wind decides to blow. 
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope that you're happy. I hope that you're doing well.  I sure hope that you're doing swell.You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality

Gotta keep it inside
Just wanna say you're all mine
Gotta keep it inside
Just wanna say you're all mine

You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

And I am ecstatic
Gotta keep it inside
And I know it's tragic
Just wanna say you're all mine

And I am ecstatic
Gotta keep it inside
Gotta keep it inside
Just wanna say you're all mine

Gotta keep it inside

Just wanna say you're all mine

You're gonna say it's alright
Gotta keep it inside
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Just wanna say you're all mine
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

You're gonna say it's alright
Gotta keep it inside
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Just wanna say you're all mine
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

You're gonna say it's alright
Gotta keep it inside
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Just wanna say you're all mine
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

All Mine

Hazy Moonlit Night

Wistful Skies

As I sit and watch you
(As I watch you baby)
I just can’t believe my eyes
(Can’t believe my eyes)
Your softest whisper
(Whisper to me baby)
Rings like thunder in the spans of these wistful skies
(These wistful skies)

These fleeting moments
(Just a moment baby)
Hover then pass by like midge flies
(They pass me by)
In the swampy vestiges of latent memory
(I remember baby)
Along the beaten path beneath these cloistered, wistful skies
(Wistful skies)

I understood it well enough, so I thought
(I though so baby)
But perhaps not enough to give rise
(I couldn’t give rise)
For when you spoke of moving on
(Moving on now baby)
I sought peace beneath wistful skies
(These wistful skies)

The line of progress is dipping low
(Dipping low now baby)
What was once known in spades one can’t now surmise
(No, they can’t surmise)
The lush forests are shrivelling and will someday die
(They will die now baby)
I best be finding refuge before the deluge of these wistful skies
(These wistful skies)

Crippled thought is a lame companion
(No companion of mine)
Drifting from shore and ready to capsize
(They will capsize baby)
Nagging relentlessly with its fragments of pictures
(All the pictures baby)
In the fogged recollections of my wistful skies
(The wistful skies)

There’s a commandment behind a stone
(See the commandment)
That everyone challenges yet still abides
(They abide now baby)
The tree of life provides endless bounty
(Endless bounty)
To the sheep of existence grazing under wistful skies
(Under wistful skies)

Mystical Rift

Music : Janne Hennie & Little Man
Vocals & lyrics : Janne Hennie

You feel a little restless, have no peace of mind
Your head is spinning, worries made you blind
Take a little moment, see the flowers on the ground
It may give you comfort, and some peace of mind...

If you can see
If you can hear
If you can feel
You can find some peace of mind

2
You feel a little stressed, so much to do
Nothing can wait, it's all waiting for you
Take a little moment, and listen to the birds
It may give you comfort, and some peace of mind...

If you can see
If you can hear
If you can feel
You can find some peace of mind

3
You feel a little sorry, words should have been said
But you couldn't get out, what was inside
Take a little moment, and say it to your heart
It may give you comfort, and some peace of mind...

If you can see
If you can hear
If you can feel
You can find some peace of mind

Some Peace Of Mind

Well, the wind is pickin' up,
and the sea is gettin' rough.
Midday has turned to dusk,
and we're feelin' Iike we're fucked.
Yet, still, we can't get enough
'cause somehow we get some love
for spillin' out our guts
about each time we've been fucked,
and each time that we have fucked,
and each time we've lost our trust,
and each time we've showed disgust
each time we treat time with fuss.
Each time, every time, we must
treat each time like we're in lust.
Otherwise, each time will pass and we'll 
have lost each time. For what? 

Absolutely nothing, baby.
Do you trust me? Yes or maybe?
Don't be shy, babe, come persuade me.
Spill it out, now, don't be angry.
I just want you. You're my baby.
Learned to trust you. You've regained me.
Fear to love you. Yes, it pains me.
Still, I'll fuck you. You'll repay me. 

Somehow I still feel this is right.
And I can't put up no more fight.
If this consumes me, then so be it.
We'll be in movies, or some 'd' skit. 

I'm just kiddin'.
I'm just joshin'.
Why fuss hauntin'
all my dreams when
you're just kiddin',
and just joshin'.
You're just hauntin'
my dreams because you can. 

Why you gotta fuck with me? 

I'm gonna take hold of you.
Throttle your neck until you're blue.
Don't think once that this dude
won't make you swallow what you've chewed.

Cover song of "Maybe It's Time" By: Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga

Maybe It's Time

Organised Earthquakes - My Morning Science

🎶 NEW SONG - ‘When will it stop?’ 🎶
Sometimes people talk - and talk... and you listen, out of politeness. But where does that leave you?
My new song tells with a wink and a touch of despair about all those moments when you say ‘Yes’ even though you're already shouting ‘Stop!’ inside.
👉 A song for everyone who is too kind to interrupt - but too honest to stay silent forever.
➡️ Listen to it - and write to me: Do you know it too?
https://youtu.be/i-QyJoB9o1w?si=sW1hQUm9czddIOBd 

🎶 NEUER SONG – "Wann hört es auf?" 🎶
Manchmal reden Menschen – und reden… und man hört zu, aus Höflichkeit. Doch wo bleibt man dabei selbst?
Mein neuer Song erzählt mit einem Augenzwinkern und einem Hauch Verzweiflung von all den Momenten, in denen man "Ja" sagt, obwohl man innerlich schon "Stopp!" ruft.
👉 Ein Song für alle, die zu freundlich sind, um zu unterbrechen – aber zu ehrlich, um ewig zu schweigen.
➡️ Hör rein – und schreib mir: Kennst du das auch?

When Will It Stop?

I say nothing, just nod along,
you’re in full swing, your story’s strong.
Talking ‘bout people I’ve never met –
but I’m too polite to hit reset.
I smile and nod, it’s my disguise,
but deep inside, my patience dies.
You’re fired up, oh, here we go –
I mutter softly: „Well, whoa, whoa, whoa!“
You take that as a green-lit track,
keep talking – I can’t talk back.

Chorus:
When will it stop?
I can’t defend,
was never taught how to offend.
It never stops unless I steer –
but I permit it, year by year.

You love small talk – but yours is vast,
you’ve been to space, and every class.
You’ve danced at balls, seen every land –
I just stand still and barely stand.
I scan the room for some escape,
a tree to climb, a fire escape.
But still I nod, with helpless cheer,
you sense approval – shift a gear.
You talk even more, it’s quite the feat –
I smile while sweating in defeat.

(Repeat Chorus)

Then finally – you're about to go,
I feel relief begin to grow.
But wait – you turn and say: “One more!”
My inner self collapses to the floor.
We’re stuck again, me mute, you loud –
I’m way too nice to break the crowd.
You talk, I shrink – still locked in place,
with fake concern upon my face.

Final Chorus:
When will it stop?
I can’t defend,
was never taught how to offend.
It never stops unless I steer –
but I allow it, year by year.
