Nothing to Prove

She’s got nothing to prove, 
she’s got nothing left to lose.
Burned every bridge that wasn't halfway
she’s learned this.

Why should she listen to you?
Why would she listen to me?

She has danced in the dark, now she finally breathes.
Every step she takes sets her soul free.
Every breath she inhaled makes her believe.

There’s only One she’ll kneel to.
She’s got wounds that They can heal, too.
Every shadow she’s faced helped her ghosts erase
And she’s owned this.

Why should she listen to you?
Why should she listen to me?

All opinions drown authenticity.
Now the echoes of war cry out for the way
she beats them into a pulp by telling the truth

She’s got nothing to prove, she’s got nothing left to lose.
No more battles to fight no more sides to choose
and she’s earned this.

Nothing to Prove

Leitmotif


Every time 					(3)
I got you on my mind
Got you on my mind
I have to smile				


All symbolism i drew
All the songs i sang
All the symbolism i drew					
I sang them only for you
I drew them only for you
Only you					
I swear it’s all true			


All the words i threw
All the letters i choose
All the words i threw
I threw them only for you
Only to you
I swear it’s all true
I have to smile
I have to…

„break“
Every word, every note	
They come back				
Every word, every note
They come back
Every word, every note,
They reflect


Also right now, this time
It’s the same clue
It’s the same clue:
This song is for you
Hope that you like it a bit, too…

Leitmotif (wt Mike Krath, raw edit)

Always a sunny day, 
I just can't concentrate, 
Is this the day we both changed?
  So much to throw away, 
  A change is on its way,
  Always a sunny day.
      Another rare display, 
      You tell me that's OK, 
      Is this the way it will stay?
The same as yesterday,
Always a sunny day.

Could be any day, 
Same thing again,
How could we know?
Changing today.

You're asking me when to breathe,
I'm asking you what to do.
Changing today.

You've stumbled on a stone, 
Don't tell me you're alone, 
There's something in my eyes but I cannot disguise it.
Moving at a snail pace, 
Always in the same place
Have to take a chance with the same old circumstances.

Look back and say,
A little each day,
Something will grow,
And slowly decay.

You're asking me for space to breathe,
I'm asking you to give me room,
Slowly decay.

Not just a place that we own when we're all grown and unknown,
Watching the water get tasteless and overgrown.
Used to fly like a moth to the fire for hire,
But time and time again makes you lose the desire.

Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day…


Always A Sunny Day

Ambustion

Cast of Characters:
Didier Burli-- @didierburli — acoustic guitar, main vocals, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Roland Phantom organ, Roland piano, Paul Reed Smith cutom SE electric guiar, Warwick four string fretless bass, vocal harmonies
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar

This song began with Didier coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. However, when he first sent it to Josh, he had played electric guitar, bass, keys, and drums on it, because he is a very talented multi-intrumentalist. This song passes the stool test, though, which is the question of whether it sounds good with someone just sitting on a stool with a guitar, playing and singing it. So, when we asked him to give us a version that we could add to, it was already a great song that he sent us with just him singing over his acoustic guitar. 
  Tez was the first one up on this one, adding the fiery fills throughout, as well as the co-solo at the end. Ken entered the fray next, adding his rock solid, dynamic drums. Once the drums were down giving him something to play against, Josh added his fretless bass to the song. Being very excited about this one, he also added piano, organ, and eventually the lead guitar solo at the end. He also went in and added all the vocal harmonies throughout. Stephen then brought up the rear with some really cool textural guitar throughout. 
  Once we had it in the bag, we asked Tez to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his usual expert fashion. 
  This is our first song with Didier, but we hope it's just the beginning of his new inclusion into the Eclectic Collective family. He has a lot of great music on his page, which is worth checking out, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Didier Burli:
I wish I could stay awake but I need to sleep
Thunder is on it's way but I don't hear it
I don't fear the ghouls, and I don't fear the creeps
And with this dancing zombie, I don't know what to do with it
And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does, that makes you want throw up

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does that makes you want dream of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that makes you scared of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that mankind lost

And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

The Noise Rises Up-Didier/Eclectic Collective

Blackbirds FC's third album!

This record has been a long labour of love for the band and features ten hand-tooled total bangers including the singles Rings Around the Sun, Lake of Stars and What's the Half-Life of Loving You?

Lyrically it talks about love (mainly gone wrong), politics (also going wrong), the young and the future (could go either way...). Musically it calls on the noisy spirits of all our influences including Wilco, The Church, the Go-Betweens, Beck and. Midnight Oil. 

The record title, Desire Lines, is partly a reference to the informal, unplanned pathways that people create despite the efforts of designers.

These lines typically cut across a planned route or area, often due to a more convenient or direct route and seemed like a good fit on a variety of levels for this record.
