This song began its life some 20 years ago recorded on Mark's old skool keyboard workstation as a bass line and drum beat, accentuated by a synth melody playing over some electric piano. It sat as that basic version until just recently, when Mark had gotten into horn arrangements, and wanted to try some out, thus creating the impetus for reviving this old tune. Plus, he wanted to get the Eclectic Collective to play the guitar and keys parts on it for a little extra jazzy pizzazz.
He turned it over to the rest of the EC gang with a pretty clear vision of what he wanted structurally. Stephen was first up, adding his driving guitar to the fist part of every verse. Josh deftly chimed in with the response line in every verse. JJ then came into the mix last and sprinkled his magic electric piano and other keys throughout. After all of our parts were in the can, Mark went to work dutifully editing and mixing what you hear as the final product. Stephen then did his pro mastering work on it to add a little bit more shine.
 This was a lot of fun to put together. It doesn't feature all of the EC, but the other guys will be on many upcoming creations. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

HEART OF THE FOREST

Like a soft summer breeze...

In the whispering woods where shadows play,
A boy walks alone, night turns to day.
Warm tree roots as his friends, and stars as his guides,
Learns from the silence, where secrets abide.

Like a soft summer breeze...

With every fallen leaf, a story unfolds,
Of dreams intertwined and awakenings bold
As he dances with shadows, and sings with the trees,
He learns to be free, like a soft summer breeze

Like a soft summer breeze...

[In the heart of the forest] He finds his way,
[Through echoes of laughter] In the light of the day.
[Growing strong in the wild] Where the wild things roam,
[In nature's embrace] He’s making his home.

Oh what will become of him?
What of his joy?
Weep for the future
And sing at his death
If we are the last of the trees to fall
The winds will pass unnoticed
And no-one else, no-one else can dance…
