Nailed It to Your Door

Delirious Night - The Cure (my cover)

This might take a while she said with her quicksilver smile
I said, can you help me make it through another night?
She sighed and looked away
Yah, that just ain’t my style

You know which way to go, yet you want my free advice
(Well I guess that’s alright)
Will the sun pay the silver moon
to hang on to its light

Then she sighed and looked ahead
And this is what she said

Long distance runner
The horizons your finish line
Can you find the key to open up that door
Did you find what you are looking for?

It’s time for you to go
Gotta run your given mile
She said, you can lay down
Stare at stars with all your time
But soon enough you learn
Cause your eyes will start to burn.

You’re  looking for the truth and the answers to your why.
My oh my, there’s fact and fiction in the stories we all tell
But can you can find the line inside buried deep within the rhyme?

Long distance runner
The horizons your finish line
Can you find the key to open up that door
Will you find what you are looking for?

Can you outrun?
Can you outpace your time?
Find some peace of mind
Yahhhh - Yahhhh

A twist on the 'Appearance Medicine' phrase.

APPEARANCE MEDICINE

Tripping round some corridors
Nothing but neon lights
Floor polish and hidden voices
There you are before my eyes
It’s appearance medicine
Like a hormone injects in a vein
It’s appearance medicine
A face that lights a flame
S O B and tachy heart when lightning seeds a body start
That jumps a gate to permeate my actual need 
For you with me - today

This hospital’s a restaurant
Medicine is the menu
God’s own surgeon shaped the face
That walks me to the moon
It’s appearance medicine . . .

Ah-huh Ah Huh da da da da da da da da
It’s appearance medicine
It’s appearance medicine

Everyday it’s much the same
Going on that ward round
Floor polish and hidden voices
Soon my heart it’s on the pound





Appearance Medicine

This is about really strong attraction, being unable to resist and understanding the fallout. I was sat listening to someone tell their tale and I realised, as ever, that it would make a great song! I hope you enjoy it. 
Take care

Lyrics 
The firepit 

The heat can singe, the brightness blinds
As sparks fly off, I lose track of time
Attraction’s strong, magnetic pull
Entranced by you, seduced, enthralled 

My life, your life, her life, their lives
Changed forever as each second dies  I look into your eyes 

She speaks to me, she shouts my name 
You don’t react,  so I do the same 
She’s hurt and leaves,  I watch her go
Just you and me, finally alone 

My heart, your heart, her heart, their hearts 
Affected by our words and thoughts
In this chaos we’re all caught 

(Chorus)
Under this clear and peaceful, star filled, winter sky 
The tragedy commences 
As our normality collapses 
And the firepit heats the air
As we move closer, you brush your hair 
from your eyes as you smile
And I’m lost 
Yeah I’m lost! 

All eyes on us, the whispers start
But we ignore them all, safe in the dark
We’re closer now, you take my hand
You say “it’s time”, I understand…

My path, your path, her path, their paths 
Set by our actions as the firepit glows
In the darkness we go..

(Chorus)
Under this clear and peaceful, star filled winter sky
We don’t think about the fall out 
No hesitation or doubt
the firepit’s still spitting,
As in the darkness we’re getting
Further from our old lives 

I don’t want to see the morning, 
I don’t want to see the hurt 
I don’t want to see the wreckage
Of everything I burned 
(Repeat)

The Firepit

One theme , 4 different versions. With the huge help from my mate Wonder Georg !

The 4 Colors Pen w/ Georg Boehme

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four string fretless bass, Sigma acoustic guitar, PRS SE semi hollow body guitar, composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussoin
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ 
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST horns - trumpet, bone, & sax, latin drum ensemble, and editing production 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Production, mix, and mastering

This song began in the dead of winter on a cold night with Josh sitting in his studio with his acoustic guitar playing along to a looper beat. He loves bossa nova music and wanted to write a song in that style. Of course, he wrote it with the Eclectic Collecive in mind. 
  Josh also came up with the bass line to the looper, but changed it once Ken weighed in with his perfectly suited drum kit. He also added the funky main percussion you hear throughout. Then JJ got involved and laid down that wonderfully melodic organ part you hear in there. Josh, having not laid down a lead guitar part yet, used JJ melodic idea for the first verse, too, because it's so strong. Mark was last to the trough, but added several really stunning parts that added a lot of depth to the whole thing. He's responsible for the horn arrangement that accompanies JJ's organ solo, as well as the horn arrangement and entire break section at the end, which he not only drumed on, but edited and inserted seamlessly, as well. He also added percussion to Ken's percussion throughout the entire song, as well. He still gets paid the same as the rest of us, though 
  This is an example of us Josh introducing an unfamiliar type of music, and it being picked up on and carried through expertly as a group unit. We all love a challenge in the EC, and this fit the bill. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.



Meet the New Bossa... - Eclectic Collective

One of my favourite Soundcloud artists @remnant60 posted a gorgeous track that he left open for collaboration, so I jumped at the chance to try and add something that might fit with his ambient, mystical guitar sound. I settled on some ethereal cello chords (played on keyboard with some pitch bend modulation) and this is the result. I try to recommend listening with headphones when I think it's worth it, and I think it applies in this case.  :)

Check out his playlist where he compiled various other really cool adaptations of his original tune. Thanks Bill for continuing to inspire us with your magic!

I first sang this about a year ago. But it was with a little bad English and bad sound, so I tried again :)

Lyrics:

1
They said she was a temptress
That she would seduce all men
She had a bad reputation
And not a single friend...

2
She had a perfect body
Nice make up on her face
Always so stylishly dressed
But the women called her trash...

Chorus:
She was exposed to jealousy
Was never taken seriously
She was way to pretty
In a world full of jealousy

3
All the men loved her
The way she moved and looked
But the women hated her
Was afraid their men would get hooked...

4
She tried to tone it down
The nice clothes and make up were thrown
But no matter what she did
She was still way to pretty...

Chorus x 2:
She was exposed to jealousy
Was never taken seriously
She was way to pretty
In a world full of jealousy

In a world full of jealousy...

In a world full of jealousy...

Neli CoKo - After The Storm

Hazy Moonlit Night

Friends, let's get a little nostalgic.
Who of you lived in the 1990s? Where did you live in them? Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, or maybe in Miami?

At that time, we were experiencing our first feelings, building our first relationships in all directions. The world was huge and women were so beautiful. And men too. In general, everything was cool, really cool.

Close your eyes and go back to the past for 5 minutes.
