in case you don’t know what to call this...

"Soaring melancholy and  powerful wistfulness...a fab song"
David Quantick

The song is all about someone who can’t sleep because of all the worries racing around their head. But it’s a positive song- the person finds a deep connection with something beyond themselves that lifts them out of the horrible moment.

Another blast from This Elegant Chaos this track was the first single from our second album Magino Line. 
Tells the tale of a  Kaleidoscope relationship that was to dangerous  but some things you just cant get enough of !

A brief history about the band.
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.

Première pensée   (Translated after French text )
Vidéo :  https://youtu.be/NYPOfarT2w0
Texte et chant : Muette
Musique : Alain Illos

Dans le vase de mon cœur
L’amour est à ras bord.
Dans le tien, une fleur
T'offre une nouvelle aurore.
Dans le sol de mon cœur
S’est ouverte une crevasse.
Le tien, d’heure en heure,
Se durcit et se tasse.
Dans la salle de bain
Où j'me rends présentable,
Je n'me trouve plus aimable
Et je te cherche en vain.
Mes yeux n’ont pas compris,
Immobiles dans la glace,
Butés comme des impasses,
Et ce corps inutile...
Quand viendra-t-il ce jour
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton langage,
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton visage,
Où ma première pensée
Sera d'boire un café ?
Je voudrais comme toi
Etre hors la loi d’amour,
Mais je suis condamnée
A te faire vivre toujours.
Je voudrais comme toi
Faire juste un demi-tour
Et t’avoir oublié.
Dis-moi comment tu fais.


First thought

In the vase of my heart
Love is overflowing.
In yours, a flower
Offers you a new dawn.
In the soil of my heart
A crack has opened.
Yours, hour by hour,
Hardens and settles.
In the bathroom
Where I make myself presentable,
I no longer find myself lovable
And I search for you in vain.
My eyes have not understood,
Motionless in the mirror,
Stubborn like dead ends,
And this useless body...
When will that day come
When my first thought
Will not be of you,
When my first thought
Will not be your face,
When my first thought
Will be to drink a coffee?
I would like, like you,
To be outside the law of love,
But I am condemned
To keep you alive forever.
I would like, like you,
To just turn around
And forget you.
Tell me how you do it.

Quoting Statement 052 by Per Bronco Karlsson. The lyrics are a quote from The Employees by Olga Ravn.

Quoting Statement 052

I had left the pastorate in 1985 but many friends remained in the little town of St. Francis, Kansas.  One of them was a woman who found love again after the death of her spouse.  I composed this song for them and officiated their wedding and as far as I know, they lived happily ever after.  
Then came the wedding of my oldest daughter and she requested the song be done for her and Thor (yes, his real name;) That was 27 years ago.  
This past summer, I had suggested the song to Axel and after hearing my rough, 35 year old demo, he loved the song straight away, but wanted to change it up a bit.  The song I had written was done in a more devotional 4/4 meter, he wanted to bring to it the flavor of a Celtic dance.  Enter Mike Fox who gives the lyrics a definitive voice and excellent guitar to the backing track.  I loved the track art Axel had created because it resembled the wedding of my 2nd granddaughter Grace at the end of September, a lovely garden ceremony in Oklahoma City.  It resembles it right down to the kilt another son-in-law wore by request.  They didn't use the song as part of their ceremony, but I dedicate this new version to Grace and Ethan and wish them a lifetime of happiness and fond adventures together.
Thank you Axel and Mike for lavishing your talents on my songwriting efforts.  I am truly honored.  Hear more of their fabulous music creativity @soundcloud.com/axel-m-501052973, and @soundcloud.com/michael-fox-925325997

Gathered--Lyrics:
 What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Bridge:
And it's more than just "tying a knot" and it's more than just getting "hitched"
We're seeing two hearts being sewn together,
We're witnessing it stitch by stitch.
It's the miracle of seeing two become one,
Though the two are really not the same,
Like the paint and the canvas are separate until 
The Artist joins them in a beautiful frame.

Repeat Verse:
What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.
Will bind their hearts to each other and You
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Gathered-A Wedding Song (Axel Menningen, Mike Fox, David Dunham)

Cast of Characters:

Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – acoustic guitar, synth, and composition

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- vocals, lyrics, mix, and production

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums

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

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano, B3 synth voice, synth sax, and JJ's angels (voice synth)

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– master and production

This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.

Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning.
The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.

Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.

This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind

there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind

how could I have been so blind?

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me

it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea

the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home

the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown

on their own

“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play”

our leaders assured us we’d never go poor

and nobody questions the truth anymore

but what did we do it all for?

Our science sustains us like fine works of art

but are we closer together or farther apart?

we’re each on an island alone on the sea

the ocean between us expands rapidly

is this where we wanted to be?

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me

it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be

machines tried to help us but something went wrong

the future we wanted was here all along

The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind

there were words left unsaid…

	⁃	 gone tomorrow but I’m here today
and so I’ve gotta make it count in a major way
don’t know just how yet but I may 
be on the verge of a breakthrough 
I am only one man and the task is great
but I’m up to it time to exact some change 
just take a look around at the mess we’ve made
of Mother Nature 
how could I be a father then seal the fate
of my children the future and show my face?
let’s do something for goodness’ sake 
whether they love you or hate you
at least if awareness would be raised
people wouldn’t be so careless call me crazy
but deep down I think that we all have faith
look within to your savior
step up get involved it is not too late
gotta do another run for the human race
give it one more push pick up the pace
be willing and able
see we’ve got it all backwards nowadays
like the measure of a man is in what he’s paid
put in work for what it’s worth not just to earn a wage
remember to stay true

——

they always say sooner or later it’s inevitable 
everything comes to an end I keep forgetting it though
somehow I’m back again and so I guess I’m letting them know
each moment is real and will be so forevermore
all of existence is infinite get in the zone
through the rhythm and the rhyming the rock and the roll
the rhythm and the blues the roots rock reggae
rocksteady lets go I said you know you got soul
it is what is everlasting chiseled  in stone
by the beating of the hammer that sounds off a tone
causing deep vibrations feel it in your bones
straight down to the core such a powerful force
I call it the truth so raw so pure
in the aether eternally might we explore
the space time continuum this journey’s no joke 
let me fly like my logo like seriously folks

——

challenge me 
and see how my creative problem solving kicks in
no doubt indeed about to be up out this piece
as soon as my creative problem solving kicks in
la da dee dee la da dee dee la dee da

self coaching and motivated to retain that mental balance 
we make our own path consistently trailblazing 
style and techniques here simply amazing￼

——

Osiavo

how far it will go
we only will know if we gave it our all
or gave up on it bro
I’m giving my word right now to the world
to continue to grow
for as long as I’ve got on this rock as it rolls
throughout the cosmos

Lou
We stay committed cause hip-hop is our mission 
Art To The Verse to us is a real religion 
we vibe to the beat relieving stress and tension 
always in crisis mode in case I didn’t mention 
surviving on the front line 
waiting for the next sign
living on borrowed time￼￼
