Gaps

Oh Well.      (c2024)

This is a song for anyone who has ever lost someone they were taking care of. 

Hospital

I saw the knife
And I pulled it out
The side
Her blood was cold
But I fixed what 
I could find
When I laid down
Someone else was
Next in line

This on and on
Has me falling
Every time

Fall into the places
You forgot before
Dare to lose
Everything you’ve
Held on for
You will fear
What isn't really
Here anymore
Isn't here anymore
Isn't here anymore 

She was a mom
Who worked many
Jobs and times
She only saw 
Her little ones
Asleep at night
She was too kind
That's why they
Die every time

This on and on
Has me falling
Every time

Fall into the places
You forgot before
Dare to lose
Everything you’ve
Held on for
You will fear
What isn't really
Here anymore
Isn't here anymore
Isn't here anymore

Bless this truth
in every shade
That’s mine alone
To make the braid
That twists around
This tired nape
And to the dark that
Knows my face
Into the dark
That knows
I’m game
To take a leap
Against the grain
To fall unseen
For lives in pain
To stand between
Your life in vain

So I sit
Listening to every word
As we have shared
Every burden 
Once returned
I fall into places
I forgot before
See you there
When we meet
Beyond the door

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

This song began as a well developed, funky disco idea Roy came up with on his guitar, and shared with JJ. JJ added a wonderfully complex orchestration of various keys (including the sax solo you hear towards the end. JJ invited Stephen first, who came up with the funky ass wah guitar that also carries the groove.

Of course, JJ realized that this is a disco song, so he enlisted Ken to come up with one of his awesome beats to carry it along.

JJ had a rudimentary bass line that he played himself, but decided to get Josh to do the honors instead. So, Josh came up with a totally new bass line designed to shake your cheeks.

Once it was in the can, we decided to ask JJ to mix it for us. This is a first time JJ has mixed a song for The Eclectic Collective, and we were all impressed with his work. Stephen mastered it, as he is a master masterer.

We're all really impressed and delighted with the experience of working with Roy and his music. He is a very talented artist with a lot of great music to check out on his page, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it, and that it makes you shake your hips while you're doing the dishes, too!

I've shed some
..........sparkling tears-
tears to suit this time of the year.
Oh! I've shed some
..........sparkling tears-
tears to suit this time of the year.
Long dark nights emotionally lit
with illuminating strings
.....of glittering decorations.
Long dark nights emotionally lit
with illuminating strings
.....of glittering decorations.
All of you normally gloomy guys-
bring out your rare festive sides.
Drink grog. Start your log fires.
Complete all the preparations.

.....Make room
..........for a Christmas time.
.....Make room
..........for the Christmas tree.
.....Make room
..........for magic and mystery.
......Make room
..........to consume a feast.
......Make room
...........to eat like wanton beasts.
......Make room over there
......out of the glare.
......Set a spare place for Jesus.
