What's this song about? String Theory is the notion that all time exists on a string—a string that never disappears. I'm a fan of the podcast/television show Closer to Truth, an American production hosted by a neuroscientist. The host interviews the leading experts on many scientific and philosophical subjects. In a recent podcast, scientists discussed String Theory, which became the inspiration for this song. 

One scientist explained that if you imagine a string along which all time exists—past, present and future—then you can understand that right now both the future and past still exist on that string. So, in theory, the past never disappears and the future is waiting to happen. He likened it to a DVD of a movie. At any point you can rewind or move forward. He suggests that this may be possible with time. 

What I drew from this notion is that all that has happened in my life, all the people I have known—in particular those who are no longer here—are, according to this theory, still existing on the string. Is this a comfort? I think it is for me. 

This is why in the refrain I sing, " I will always be with you." Even when I no longer exist, I will exist along the string, a string that connects me to a past before my own existence began and to a future that I will never see. 

Perhaps you will draw something different from this song and from the theory. In any case, I hope you enjoy the musicianship on this recording. Georg and I worked hard to produce parts and solos that we're proud of.

When I See You
----------------

When i see you
I could almost puke
When I see you
A strange shudder goes through and through
When I See You
My head turns bloodred
While the world shifts in two halves
And none of them would last
Without the other one…

When i see you
And that happens now and then again
It’s too uneasy to explain
My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look at the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart that pounds
And am all agitated
I avoid all pictures of you
Try not to think about it too much
Close my inner eye, too…

When i see you
And that happens now and then again
Oh, it’s so uneasy to explain
My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look on the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart that pounds… ahh…

solo

When i see you
You never talk to me
No reaction you show
Just stand somewhere off silently,
Peripheral,
In the background
Wthout a sound
How can I see what is not there ?
How can I remind what never took place ?
How can I feel that i was close to you,
Even if that was unreal, ?
And if I’d see you
As a monster,
As a hypocrate,
As a drama queen ?
And if i’d see you
As a mirror image ?
As a saviour ?
As a lover … ?

When I see you
Oh, when i see you
It’s so uneasy to explain
It’s too uneasy to explain…
When do I see you ?
When will i see you ?
When will i see you again ?

When I See You

I shared a Latin Pop version of this song two years ago with vocals performed by our friend Richard John (thank you Richard).  Well, here is another version of the song which existed back then that was not pursued.  As I'm scrapping the barrels, thought I might as well give it a go.  This is Celtic folk approach with a different ending where I added an additional verse of new melody & lyrics.

One of my favourite compositions.  Just see what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
And wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show how your path could be			
If you walk in peace and come along freely with me			
		
Watch the sun slip away into the night			
Hold each other till it goes out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only want to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up	and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head			
Thoughts of all we shared			
			
If you like, we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of magic as it begins to change			
I'm watching you thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
I can show you how I will guide your hand
	
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental break
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and keep thinking of me			
			
Have a secret dream		
No-one else can see			
No-one else can dream		
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head	
Thoughts of all we shared	

Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the sun slips into the night.............
Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the thoughts go out of sight

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass and chorus vocals, lyrics, arrangement, and harmonies

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began its life as a beautiful guitar 
chord progression from Stephen. He wrote it with the idea the The Eclectic Collective would bring it to life, which we were all excited to do. First up was Tez, who added the distorted guitar you hear adding the edge to the entire thing. Ken added his lively foundational drums next. Josh, of course seized on that, and followed shortly after with his four-string fretless bass. JJ came along next and added the expressive organ and dancing piano, along with the big choral vocals at the end, which he did with his new synthesizer. 

  Now that we had the music done, it was time for Mark to add his distinct, signature singing to the mix of his original lyrics. Josh decided to come up with some very simple lyrics for the choruses and arranged some harmony parts for them, too, which he also sang. Mark also threw in his voice to the choruses. Ken, too, contributed his voice to the choruses, as well as harmonies and vocalizations throughout the verse. 

  Once the song was in the can, Stephen edited, mixed and mastered it for us, very ably, as always.

  This was a seemingly large project, which took us almost two months from introduction to finished product. It's another good example of the songwriting capabilities of the EC. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Mistermark:
 Watching the city lights getting smaller while I’m looking through my rear view
Leaving it all behind hit me harder than I  thought that it could ever do
Sometimes a man gets lost on the road like a wheel spinning round in his brain
It’s not what you said but it’s in the way you said it
Now it’s stuck in my head and I’m never gon’ forget it

I’m moving on
Away from home
(Away from home, that’s where I roam)

Well home is where the heart is as the saying goes, but my heart ain’t in it no more
But I remember all the times smelling grits in the hall as the morning sun hit the floor 
Old picture frames, and every toy’s got a name, now they’re packed up and stored away
Turning that key for one last time keeps turning around & around in my mind

I’m on the road
Away from home
(Away from home, that’s where I roam)

Now I’m pointing these wheels toward the setting sun
we’re flying straight up ahead like a bullet from a gun
Just you & me kid and this old guitar
we got dreams to dream and we’re gunna go far
Like stars in the sky there’s city lights up ahead
and I’ll keep driving toward ‘em till the day I’m dead
Closing one door just opens up another
there’s plenty of world just waiting to discover

I’m moving on
Another home…
(Away from home, that’s where I roam)

Away From Home - (Eclectic Collective)

The Land of Frowns

I told the man he'd have to go
You are not welcome here you know
You do not speak as others do
Our people are afraid of you

So would you help a man when he's really down
and lost within this land of frowns

Land of Frowns

So I wrapped myself in things I'd found
and laid myself out on the ground
and the devil comes in many ways
he came to me that day

Far away I was a young man

Oh, my home, I had to go

I'm a stranger in this foreign town
Stranger in this land of frowns
Oh, land of frowns

So I told the man he'd have to go
You are not welcome here you know

Land of frowns......

Lyrics:
I've Been Thinking About You
Through The Confusion
And Things To Do
I'll Learn the Hard Way
Drink Myself to Death
Nightmares of What You Went Through
Causing All My Pain
I've Been Thinking About You Everyday

Well I'm Singing My Soul
And My Mind Is Sinking Away
Lost Pages of Everything Gone~ Was Stray
Don't Know What to Do
But I'm Trying to Pull Through
Without You ~Without You

It's Like a Lost Country Song
No Where's `~ After Dawn
Like A Lost Country Song
As the Pain Lingers in My Brain
And The Sun Shines 
Through The Blinds of My Pain

GUESS I WAS WRONG AGAIN
WALKING ON SHATTERED GLASS AGAIN
SAID THE WRONG WORDS AGAIN ~
BECAUSE THE BOTTLE WAS MY ONLY FRIEND ~

Like A Lost Country Song 
Staying Up till Dawn
ALL SOOTED UP
AND BURNT TO A CRISP
When the Sunlight 
Shines Through my Blinds
When I'm Lying There
Thinking of Death
I'll be Thinking of You

🎵🎵🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵🎵

Like Aa Lost Country Song
Staying up till Dawn
I'll be Thinking of You
ALL THE BURNT DAYS OF THE SOUL
And Shadows` ~ The Shadows in my Soul
I'll Be THINKING BOUT YOU
THINKING About YOU ~~~~~~~~~ e
