Reason to Believe

Lyrics

 
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it easy to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it hard to give
* And with it all the hope I felt 

Bridge - By Nat Daniels
Your words are sweet but your heart is cold
Behind your smile, I see your soul,
But Nothing I do is ever enough
You criticise and control and call it love.. 
... it isn't love...

If I listen long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe
Still, I look to find a reason to believe..

*Chorus is an arrangement of the seafarer's hymn, 'Eternal Father, Strong to Save,' by William Whiting & John Bacchus Dykes

To Sail Upon the Sea
by Nadia Selvaggi

Divine providence,
or fate of the poor?
Like their fathers,
and theirs before

Promised a chariot of fire to heaven,
now meet their maker as a slave
And in dust, the glory promised fades

Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm restrains the restless wave,
who bids the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed bounds to keep

Their martyred blood a sacrifice
for fortune, kings, and a fool's paradise

Dreams of their beloveds dancing in their heads,
where there's no cold, no wet, no comrades dead

In terror, the bondservants slain
on a blue, watery grave,
their corpses heaved into the black, frigid waves

O death, take me now
This empire's war for power and profit I disavow
Spare me this unsufferable horror
Take me in your merciful arms

Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm restrains the restless wave,
who bids the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed bounds to keep

Creator Spirit, by whose breath
were fashioned sea and sky and earth;
who made the stormy chaos cease
and gave us life and light and peace

To Sail Upon the Sea by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi

The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel  - lyrics and vocals
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–foundational guitar in first half, solo in the coda, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–  @j-j-terrell  – piano and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3 , @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion, help with mix, bg vocals
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–guitar solo and fills in the main section
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –mandolin, four string fretless bass guitar


This latest Eclectic Collective song was probably the most collaborative in a true sense as we've yet released. The song began with Josh trying to piece together a couple of ideas that he'd come up with on the piano. He sent his ideas to JJ, who took out a connecter section that Josh had no intention of making anything of, and turned it into the body of the song. He returned the song to Josh complete with a signature JJ Terrell climactic coda. Then Josh added the bass to JJ's piano, with some help from the always solid drums from Ken. The way it usually goes is that Josh comes up with a scratch bass line to accompany the song, then Ken adds drums, then Josh goes back and adds the bass to fit the beat. Sometimes they go back and forth, but not this time so much. 
  Then, Stephen added the foundational guitar in the first section, and came up with the idea for the coda. Josh added some mandolin to the coda, too, after which Stephen redid the guitar in the coda to make it very dynamic and part the clouds. Tez finally came along and added the fiery solo and the charming fills in the main section. Most of this time, MD had been working on the narrative lyrics and refining his melodic vocals. Finally, Stephen put it all together for us and mixed it in his expert fashion. 
  We hope you enjoy the thrill of the climax, and also get a chuckle out of the lyrics, which are included below. 

Let me tell you 'bout a dancer yeah!
A mysterious one
She dances to the decibel
She's a A shape shifter from the stars
She doesn't cast no shadow
The light makes things bizarre
She'll mold a new soul in you
And get your grandmother too
She'll bleed you from afar


It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
Yeah!
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white!

Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about 

Oh baby you caught me off guard I think it's gonna be a early time and a Late night

Hubba bubba max
Hubble space snacks
I'm playing galaga 
Waiting for climax
It didn't take long
A few setbacks

One and done in the black hole
With the Shape shifting of my gun
The time was short but the blast quaked
It was all over before it begun
The frown Came over her like a storm cloud dropping down torrential rain
The frown came over me some time later when the little fetus from Mars slopped onto the terrain

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

{Get that thing away from me
Stay on your home planet}

Just One minute altered my universe
My reputation outside of the earth
Flys away in a hearse
Now I'm just the minute man of the cosmos
With an infant out there somewhere they call him... space Frankenstein that's what she knows

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

Early Time Late Night - (Eclectic Collective w/ The Mysterious Decibel)

Is That The Game You Play ? (Remix by Damga)

While reconstructing Moza's 'What If We Could Do Everything?' https://on.soundcloud.com/3MGj1
   I came up with a completely different melody and arrangement. I shared it with Moza, and he recorded vocals for it. Feeling that this relatively grand song lacked something, I thought of incorporating rap. I had been impressed with Lemon Muzik's work as a track maker, so I invited him to join as a rapper. I really like his rap. Additionally, he provided backing vocals for the chorus part. 

This is a Christmas present from the three of us. Merry Christmas.

'What If'

"This song is dedicated to all the Hopeless
Who got the less hope.
What if? What if?
If you just open your eyes 
And spread your mind up in the air
And just listen to this song.
Uh uh uh"

So long, so hard to find the meaning of love
but now you're gone
that is the way it goes i don't know

"(Ayo Listen)
Get the things just right (i said)
Get the things just right (i said)
Don’t tease it, but grab the opportunity
Seize the day! Carpe D.M.
Boys B M.B.tious 
Until the very end of the day
Hey~ Ho~"
 
So long, so hard to find the meaning of love
But now you're gone
That is the way it goes i don't know

The seasons change, but my love remains,
Through sunshine and storms, through joys and pains.
Though you're not here, I'll break these chains,
And hold on to the memories.

What If We Could Do Everything? 

"What if? "
Putting this on your radar
Putting on your armor
Get your own phone number
Love never felt so good

So hard to see
Love knows no end.

'What If' mozawa_*=Synline=Lemon

Starting out...I used to think about
the number of days I have to survive
'fore I can jump a train...
thumb a car
or just start walking....
and if I don't leave today...
if I can't save my life this way
then...what am I doing
and I'd been dreamin of another life
where shame ain't at its core
a life where the stitches of my wounds
don't show no more
 and I hop a train...
thumb a car...and lord
I just keep walking....
turns out...leavin yesterday
just like the day before...a generation steppin
like a first tour in a foreign war
O
bodies in the street yea
bodies keeping score and its working out this way...til this lion learns to roar
and if I don't leave today
if I can't save my life this way...
then...what am I even doing
yea
hop a train thumb a car and just keep walking

A Foreign War

"그 겨울에 너에게 전화했어
12월에 꽃을 가져왔어
그 묘지에서 널 만났어
너의 눈이 빛나고 따뜻함을 느꼈어
너의 머리카락에 나를 잃었어
욕망을 갖는 것이 죄인가
너의 것을 원해
너도 원해
내 마음을 너에게 주었어
너에게 노래를 불렀어
너의 기억을 묻었어
배와 그 선장
