The Brightest Lights

This is about the life of the artist, Eduardo Paolozzi, and about using experiences to inform the creation of art.

-----------------------------

Such a lot to think about 
When your family is
Pulled down under the waves
That crash
Around the sunken ship
That was trying to take you back home

The sea we used to gaze upon
From the family shop that sold ice cream
To kids, they were on their holidays
Before they went back home

Close your eyes
And you can go right back there

What do you see?
Eduardo draws it carefully
The fisherman and his wife
Are calling
They want to help you get back home
Before it’s too late

Melt down those memories
Make something new
For a station
By a building

It’s a 100ft tall
It towers above

Melt down those memories
A ritual forgot
Sculpted anew
Just like the wave
That swept your family away

Earth

Good mighty one
Parent planet of worth
You are our father and mother
Earth
Once danced as dust around our star
All grains of char and trance we are

Great graviton of physical friction
Cloud coalesced to spawn all fiction
You have the zone for fable of forest
Just time now tunes existence upon us

As melted pot
Heavy sent to core
Space cooled your jets
Lava crust time pour
We cooled some more
Cured continental crust
Grand core feeds gas for baby atmos trust

Strong crust now ready for meteor a many
We take space punches of water a plenty
Born our seas and carbon cycle
Now light and liquid married seeds for life's title

Magnetosphere
Dimensional tamer of sun
Fierce solar storms won't stop life's run
Filter fire form
Not Venus sphere
Sown Martian cold
Gold spot sewed clear

Tepid planet
So green
So great
So many mutants
Evolved on your plate
Tectonic trained
Innate of know
Some hope we glow
To be selected next flow

Bob Dylan's "Roll On John" is an elegy to John Lennon, inspired by a public minibus tour Dylan took of Lennon's childhood home in Liverpool in 2009. The song explores themes of fame, aging, and mortality, contrasting Lennon's tragic death with the enduring legacy of St. John the Apostle, another "John" who suffered but whose "light" shines on.
The Stanleys come from Liverpool and initialy made this cover from a jam session as John Lennon has always been a big influence.
The Beatles tour starts at a near by place called The Picton Clock and Dylan’s visit is well known here in Wavertree Liverpool. Our take on this song which is over 5 minutes may have a difficult time getting heard for obvious reasons. Recently it was pointed out that all the songs on Rubber Soul are around 2 minutes long. To get the full experience of this production it’s important to listen to the end. We hope you do that and enjoy the version. Kind regards The Stanleys : Ged, Ste and Tom. Peace…make music not war!



Roll on John 2 ( Dylanesque cover by Ged smith Tom mcguinness and Ste Power)

A song paying tribute to the eggs Mum said we all came from growing up as kids. A beautiful piece of unique nurture. Love ya Mum

Of course, my older siblings used to always say I came through the roof and convinced me I was an alien... 👽🤘🏻

Epic memories man 🎶🧬

Tonight, after Alma (4) heard the song and the explanation she said, "Dad what egg am I from"... I quickly said, Your a rainbow egg Alma (Thankfully our internet has pretty convincing rainbow eggs at the ready as I got a "show me" pretty fast 😆) and I'm not sure I've ever seen a bigger smile from a human 🌈🧬 Rainbow dreams for Alma  🔆

The Eggs

Pure maternal love
Pure power of nurture
Uniqueness sown
Each shell a picture we own

Brave brown egg first
Wise white seeds second
Third speckeldy thirst
Forth Tan found pleasant

Each of us always the best egg on Earth
Seeds of ourselves with pride of our worth
Best spreader of love known to existence
Unconditional nurture so fear finds resistance

Total belief in just what we are
Each egg the best human life hearted star
Empowered by label of virtuous good
Seed belief in ourselves
Pure pertinent childhood

No matter what's said
Reply always love
Mum cares for those shells
Subtle Penguin like purse
Best spreader of love known to our land
Mother made eggs
True taker of hand

Best spreader of love known to man
Thank you Mum for preening good plan

The human egg is a transparent yellow colour and is apparently visible without a microscope and is roughly the width of a human hair. It's also I believe the largest a normal cell ever gets from a human being

The Eggs

Cast of Characters:

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals, lyrics, Ovation acoustic guitar, and composition
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and upright piano, and JJ's angels (voice synth)
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass and Collings mandolin
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST fiddle
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Earle Scruggs custom banjo, production, mix, and mastering

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl siezed on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about. 
  Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. He also added the subtle human voice choral synth you hear throughout. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section. 
  Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.
  We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carls songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine
