This song began its life all the way over in on the other side of the pond, where our frequent collaborator, Artur wrote it on his electric guitar. Being a fan of surf music, he composed this awesome piece with The Eclectic Collective in mind. He shared it with the group through Tez, who was first to respond to Artur's guitar with his own, creating a psychedelic base of sound for the rest of us to add to. 
  Ken was up next, laying down his always exciting drums and percussion. Josh, of course, followed straight behind him, now that he had a beat to play to. JJ came soon after, laying in his ethereal organ and dancing electric piano. Last, but not least, Stephen laid in a really trippy acoustic arpeggio based acoustic guitar part to kick it to the next level.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer. But before we even started the song beyond what Artur and Tez laid down at the beginning, Mark deftly separated Artur's basic beat from the music. Amazing what technology can do these days! For rest of the production, we tapped the very talented Tez to do the honors, which he did perfectly.
  This song marks about half a dozen we've done with Artur. We're all big fans of his unique surf rock sound, and jump at the chance to collaborate with him. If you like what we've done here, you should check out his page, as it's loaded with gems in the same strain. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

"You laughed, and something inside me broke open.
It felt like home."

[EDIT: Slightly updated mix based on Spintunes judges' feedback.]

This is my entry for Round 3 of the "Spintunes" contest! The prompt/challenge was to "write and record a song that makes prominent and creative use of motivic development - a technique for creating extended melodies through repetition and variation of a short, memorable melodic fragment called a motive".

LYRICS

Waking up in purgatory
Isn’t where I thought I’d be
Aftertaste of argument
No that isn’t what I meant

And you do this every time
Just for a reaction
Yeah, you do this every time
Is it part of the attraction

Maybe you’ll go to prove that I need you
Maybe you’ll stay when I don’t believe you
Maybe you’re sweet, maybe you’re scary
Push me away only to tell me
Oh, don’t you want me anymore

What’s my motivation here
On a scale of one to fear
Weighing up the evidence
Isn’t making any sense

And it kills me every time
My heart on the pavement
Yeah it kills me every time
How you claim it’s an accident

Maybe you’ll go to prove that I need you
Maybe you’ll stay when I don’t believe you
Maybe you’re sweet, maybe you’re scary
Push me away only to tell me
Oh, don’t you want me anymore
Oh, don’t you want me anymore

I love it when you change
I love it when you change your
I love it when you change
I love it when you change your mind

Another day in purgatory
I guess that’s how it’s going to be
Our record’s playing on repeat
It’s never sounded so sweet

Maybe you’ll go to prove that I need you
Maybe you’ll stay when I don’t believe you
Maybe you’re sweet, maybe you’re scary
Push me away only to tell me
Oh, don’t you want me anymore
Oh, don’t you want me anymore
