Summer Showers - Sam Mendez / Jamie Rhind

Original Song
by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics

It took me an age to lift myself,
From the deep pit of despair.
It took me an age to forgive myself,
As if anybody cared.

I showed myself to the world,
They saw through all my lies.
If they really want to know the truth,
Look deep into my eyes.

The pain I felt came with a cost,
One I can now reveal.
I tried to hide how deep I sank,
And how I couldn't tell what was real.

Friends tried their best to break me free,
From the prison I had built.
The walls were from a promise made,
And the bars came from my guilt.

I prayed for my salvation,
I prayed till the light grew dark.
I struggled with the demons,
That burnt and left their mark.

10 years gone I'm free at last,
And my days are running out.
But I'm still too scared to live my life,
So I pour my feelings out.

The pain I felt came with a cost,
One I can now reveal.
I tried to hide how deep I sank,
And how I couldn't tell what was real.

Friends tried their best to break me free,
From the prison I had built.
The walls were from a promise made,
And the bars came from my guilt.

IT TOOK AN AGE

Lyrics by Ron Todd

Gonna ride my bike like Steve McQueen
Be just like him from that movie scene
A flash of dust like a bullet I’d be gone
Blue jeans, white shirt, leather boots pulled on

Travel this country from end to end
Every drive in bar gonna be my friend
Just a smell of rye and store bought gasoline
Get my face on the front of a famous magazine

Chorus
I just wanna be like Steve McQueen
He was rough and tough, he was lean and mean
He had it all a blue eyed sex machine
I just wanna be like Steve McQueen

Bridge 
So
I’ll Smoke those wheels
Kick those heels
Nobody know the way it feels
Oh Yeah

Guitar break

Gonna ride that bike foot to the floor
Miles around you'd hear the engine roar
Never touch the brakes I’d go full on
Cos you wont even see me I’ll be up and gone

Yeah white lightning ain't got nothing on me
Down the highway, sheer poetry
Go so fast, the city lights fly by
Won't catch me I’m like a comet in the sky

Chorus

I just wanna be like Steve McQueen,
From that movie scene
Like Steve McQueen

Just Wanna Be Like Steve McQueen (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

A-Honorable Loser

Secret Garden

Painful life,but Beautiful life
Zen ambient.

Enjoy!

If you have to choose between a gentle lie and a painful truth, HUG both  with love.

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar, production, and mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass and synth theremin
The Eclectic Collective -- composition

This song began, as so many of ours do, with JJ coming up with the skeleton of it on his electric piano, organ, and synth during one of his Saturday night jam sessions. He originally laid down a bass line for it, too, which might be better than what Josh came up with, But he was kind enough to let Josh in on it, too, adding his four string fretless bass on top of Ken's intricate, lively drums.
  Once the rhythm section was complete, it was time for Stephen and Tez to add their guitar magic to the mix, too. They both laid down some thrilling guitar lines throughout. Josh lastly added the spooky synth theremin you hear throughout.
  When it was all finished and in the can, we asked Stephen to mix it for us, which he did in a professional manner. He also added the creepy sound effects you hear throughout, as well. 
  This song is an example of how the Eclectic Collective can take a idea from one of us, and make it grow into a monster. Speaking of monsters, we decided to release this a day early to coincide with the holiday. Happy Halloween from The Eclectic Collective! We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
