Sycamore Tree

An improvisation about the first Christmas ...it began with stillness and ended with hope.

"For to us a child is born, unto to us a son is given..." - Isaiah 9:6

Stillness and Hope

Cast of Characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Gibson Les Paul electric guitar



This song started its life by flowing out of Artur's fingers about two years ago. He passed it around to the Eclectic Collective, who each added their magic to the song, as well. Tez remixed it and slapped some psychedelic production on it as a Christmas present to the rest of the group. We hope you enjoy this special treat as much as we all enjoyed creating it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you from all of us, as well.

Lyrics:

Disco on New Year's Eve
The world is cold, but we don’t grieve
Inside, everything’s right
We dance the night away

Frostbite is on my mind
My toes are numb
But the lights are shining bright
The DJ’s playing something smooth
We’re all under the mirror ball

Disco on New Year's Eve
The world is cold, but we don’t grieve
Inside, everything’s right
We dance the night away

My friends are in a line
We’re laughing loud
The vibe is feeling right
We toast to a brand new year
And leave our worries behind

Disco on New Year's Eve
The world is cold, but we don’t grieve
Inside, everything’s right
We dance the night away

Happy New Year!

Disco on New Year's Eve

      Greeting Earthling and fellow humans! I hope everyone had a Holly Jolly Christmas and a very Happy Holiday this year This will be my final track and video for this very choatic year. I want to thank every one of my subscibers for their support and fantastic feedback and beautiful comments! They really touch my heart when I read them and I thank you all very much!🙏 Charlie and Anita thank you all very much as well! 
     This is going to be a strange song, it's a bit of a time-trip from where we were not too long ago to the madness of today!  There is a warning here for all of us to heed and we need to pay close attention to it because next year is going to be the tipping point!  The song is really 2 songs in one for my grand finale of 2025. The first part is a cover of a great song written by Lil Willis & Louis Brown in 1963 for the Jerry Lewis movie "The Nutty Professor" (Another of my favorite films!). Jerry sings it at the piano when he's turned into Buddy Love. That's the world we left back in the 60's. Charlie and I recorded it back in 2006, it's not a good recording and I remixd it as best I could, Charlie's voice was too low and my piano playing was so-so at best!

     The second part of the song is my cautionary tale and an instrumental, I had lyrics for this song but I discarded them long ago! I remixed it and re-edited the song, cut out about 2 minutes from it, and attached it on to the end of the"We've Got A World That Swings" song. I renamed the piece "Antichrist Intelligence (A.I.)" because we are on the verge of being taken over by these evil corporations and their greed and want of power and money will eventually destroy us. Maybe I'm over-reacting or just going senile and being silly but this is what I believe now! These greedy, selfish, and evil people will wind up destroying us sooner or later and it's looking like sooner and sooner! I really hope I'm wrong about all of this but the warning signs are all over the place "BEWARE OF A.I." it is NOT here to help us, it's here to take over and control us!! So my portion of this song is the instrumental, I wrote it during the pandemic, probably around 2022, I can't recall. A.I. is NOT something holy, spiritual, or religious in any way, shape, or form. Hence the title I gave it! It might just be a test for humanity. Don't give in to the comfort of A.I., there will be a price to pay! 
     So I want everyone to listen to the song, or better yet WATCH THE VIDEO  about 5 minutes before the stroke of midnight on 12/31/2025 (New Year's Eve). There will be a countdown at the end of the song that should be perfect to ring in the new year! 2026 will be the year we humans fight back aginst The Empire I hope, this will be our "Revenge Of The Jedi" moment or it's Game Over for us, I'm afraid. Let's believe the scientist for a change and know that when everything is automated and nobody has a job, society will fail and we will all perish.  Love & Peace to all & may God Bless! 🙏❤️✌🏼

 “WE’VE GOT A WORLD THAT SWINGS“

UP AT DAWN AND SLEEPY AND YAWNING,  
STILL THE TASTE OF WINE,      
THEN I REMEMBER YOU’RE MINE AND,     
I’VE GOT A WORLD THAT’S FINE,

WHAT’S BEFORE ME? ROUTINES THAT BORE ME,   
PUNCH THE CLOCK AT EIGHT,    
OH WHAT A LUCKY GUY I AM,     
I’VE GOT A WORLD THAT’S GREAT,

ATOM BOMBS,        
CAPE CANAVERAL AND FALSE ALARMS,        
HALF THE UNIVERSE IS UP IN ARMS,        
SO I FLIP A LITTLE TOO UNTIL I’M HOLDING YOU,

WHAT’S THE HASSLE? I’LL BUY THE CASTLE,    
WE COULD LIVE LIKE KINGS,    
IF WE’RE TOGETHER FOREVER,
I’VE GOT A WORLD THAT,      
YOU’VE GOT A WORLD THAT,   
WE’VE GOT A WORLD THAT SWINGS!
