DYSTOPIA (MY DYSTOPIA)

Dystopia!

You try to run, you try to flee,
But the streets are filled with mutant freaks!

Your Mylar suit has sprung a leak,
Now head crabs crawl up your feet!

Dystopia!
My Dystopia! 
My Dystopia! 
My Dystopia! 
Ma-ma-ma my-dystopia!

Everything sucks and it always rains.
Zombies roam the streets, looking for brains!

Giant rats crawl from sewer drains.
Look at them close they have a human face!

A humble honey bee becomes a questioning philosophical singing bluesman.  A folky song reminiscent of one of my musical heroes, Loudon Wainwright III (Swimming Song, Dead Skunk)

Lyrics:
I've been flying around
I've been buzzing around town
I'm just trying not to drown
Inside the hive mind

I'm on a mythical quest
I'm a 5 eyed Sir Galahad
I'm always questioning the plan
The most beautiful flowers
They always seem the most sad

Is there a heaven?
Do I believe in nothingness?
And nothing less?
Oh well, I digress
Do you know what we should do?
Let's dive bomb the influencer!
Destroy her photo shoot!
Oh, I've been buzzing around
I've been swarming around town
I've been questioning everything that I've found
Inside the hive mind

Is our life just one job?
And that's all we do?
I'm a drone bee
Not a worker
But I'm really stung on you
Let's cause chaos at the school grounds!
We'll seek out the bullies
Give them technicolor wounds!
Oh yeah, well, you know that a life must have a purpose
And we all contribute to the bloom
(happy bee buzzing around)
In the hive mind
Hive mind 
You've got to question the way you're thinking
Start questioning the plan

Hive Mind

Aphrodite nous en fait voir de toutes les douleurs, mais sans elle, saurait-on désirer ? Vincent Sermonne est superbe à la batterie comme sur tout l'album, mais du coup il a carrément aussi fait la basse.

Or dont on fait des rêves

Cast of characters:
Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–electric guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell —JJ—organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums, percussion, and vocal harmony
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Fender precision bass

This song began as an acoustic guitar and vocals stem written and performed by Steve. He sent it to Josh, who added the undulating staccato bass line, with the help of Ken's always well-suited drums. They went back and forth a couple of times, as is their process, until it clicked. Tez added some really dynamic leads and fills throughout, and Stephen filled in the rest of the electric guitar in a Keith/Ronnie kind of way, which is very tasteful. JJ then added some perfectly complimentary organ. Finally, Ken pleasantly surprised us with the vocal harmonies.
Stephen also mixed and produced this one for us. He's brilliant behind the board, and we're lucky to have him aboard. This one came together in a matter of a relatively short period of a fortnight, which is rare for the Eclectic Collective. But, when something is hot and already put together, it comes quickly. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
Fallin’
Wandering aimless
Couldn’t shoot straight
No ability
Not much to say
There was no sign of me

Good times, bad times
Leaving out the sad times
Easily
That’s what they’re telling me
Mend or break
Looking over rooftops
Coming to a full stop
Suddenly
On a sad height
Ragging endlessly

Breakline, beeline
Picking up the freeline
Easily
Follow my way
Leavin’ the fast lane
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2

And I – I’ve been going my way
One more time, only today 2x

My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2

Fallin' (Eclectic Collective w/ Steve's Planet)

We are not a cover band, although we do enjoy incorporating recognizable motifs and sounds into our songs as hooks to the past and a form of tribute to artists of the past.
This song is a shout out to Supertramp, The lyrics are a bit of a ‘poke’ at these so called ‘celebrities’ that got the looks, but little else going on. They even manage to write a book about their superficial lives…well…ok…they get someone else to do that for them. 
“Look at her body?” Hmmm…well we do, probably because there’s nothing else about ‘em. 
Musically, it was always about the keyboard sound in tension with the strings that called Supertramp - the band - to mind.

                                              SUPER TRAMP

She draped one leg over the arm…She got no wit, but she’s full of charm
I got my note book out to write down all the things that she…
Had not got in her own head…
She could not look me in the eye…It started to rain and I just wanna cry
Well here she come now…Super tramp

“I’m not a super, a super tramp
I’m not a super, a super tramp
Well, I’ve got more brains than you got britches
Got more schemes than you’ve got hitches…baby…baby”

There’s nothing more that you could say…
I’m just a fly upon the wall you want to swat away
Well here you are again, with your life story…Bore me…
“Look at ma baw-dee…(Look at her bawdee)  Ain’t I gaw-geous?
I got no brains but I can fake it…haha I mean…shake it for you!”
Well here she goes again…super tramp

(Body-shake-down:)

“Well I got more brains than you got britches
Got more schemes than you’ve got hitches…”
Oooooh….She’s dangerous …
Oooooh….She’s outrageous…
Oooooh….But it makes her lots of money!

I had to stop to rub my aching eyes, all she was full of was …
Expensive perfume and cheap surprise…that’s no surprise. 
But she couldn’t… buy a halo…
And so the book came out in July…It made her a $million, 
But I don’t know why…She’s still a super…super… tramp

THE GARDEN is a guitar piece where I explore different styles of acoustic guitar music from different parts of the World. Bossa, Tango, Jazz, Blues, Flamenco, etc. I had to think of a botanical garden, where plants from all over the World coexist and form a beautiful coherent whole. 

Here is my musical botanical garden, I hope you’ll enjoy!

We are always trying to keep up, running away or running to something.  Relationships are like that.  Running With You is about holding your hand and staying the course in difficult times.  Running together through it all, no matter what.

Dear friends, I have got a new little Grandson. I hope that this song will do as a welcome song!
Approximate translation into English below:

To Hugo

New little eyes have arrived here - and they shine
like all the stars in our sky
You will see - that there is so much that is nice
around You in this world
and you look at - what is happening everywhere
you must see - that everything is fine
You are welcome here - little friend

The little children will trust - that all people
have come to our world as pleasers
and when you have grown up - then everything has changed so much
They have probably realized - how everything should be
so that everyone on our earth - shows others respect
and the sun shines - on all children
You are welcome here - little friend


Till Hugo

Det har kommit nya små ögon hit - och de lyser
som alla stjärnor på vår himmel
Du kommer att få se - att det finns så mycket som är fint
runt omkring Dig i denna världen
och du tittar på - vad som sker överallt
du måste se - att allt är fint
Du är välkommen hit - lille vän


De små barnen kommer att lita på - att alla människor
har kommit till vår värld som snälla  
och när Du har vuxit upp - då har allting blivit så förbytt  
man har nog insett - hur allt bör vara
så att alla på vår jord - visar andra respekt
och solen lyser - på alla barn
Du är välkommen hit - lille vän

Till Hugo (To Hugo) (Lyrics in English below)

I've fallen to pieces 
I've broken apart 
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where to start

So this song takes the idea of home and expands it outward beyond conventional ideological boundaries of what a home might be. Some of this may sound odd, in the sense of 4 walls, a floor, and a roof as home. So where might our home be? Out beyond our neighborhood perhaps, the region where we live, the continent we’re on, maybe our planet, or somewhere in the cosmos? If we settle on a suitable idea that is somewhat believable for us, it may be that our ‘home’ is, at the very least, the planet we live on. Our home planet. So wherever we go on Earth, we are home, as the song suggests. Please bear with me on this, as it may get a bit allegorical: I like that idea of this larger sense of home, as we might not dump trash, sewage, and all sorts of toxins inside our home, or pollute our home in other ways. We may begin to see what a large, incredible family we have at home. Don’t ya think? It may allow us to get along with each other a little better than we have been? (As an example, you should see me with me with my family at times, it can be frustrating… hee-hee.) We probably wouldn’t set off/drop so many bombs and blast the crap out of our home like we do now, if we saw the Earth as our home. Or ignorantly flood or burn down our home, in our stubborn refusal to appreciate the reality of what it takes to maintain a home like Earth. If we come back to the idea of a conventional home, well there’s all sorts of problems with that too. Here are some of them. Some of us have homes, some of us don’t. There are many reasons for that. Some of us have lost our homes. Some of us do not like our homes, some of us never leave our homes. Some of us despise each other for not having homes, or having too many homes, or having too large of a home, etc…. Where do we feel at home these days with the state of homeability or lack there of? My conventional home, allows me to live here, be that wherever it may be for any of us. Anyway, this song also gave me the opportunity to dust off my mandolin and recorder, as they pretty much sat there all summer with long faces wondering what I was up to. So now they’re happy and I hope this song shares some of their happiness with you….. m
