This song started as many of our best do, with Chris coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. He shared it with the rest of us shortly after, and we were all very excited to tuck into it. 
  Ken was fist at the trough for this one, adding his jazzy, expressive drums. Josh came in as soon as he had a beat to work with, adding his signature fretless bass to the mix. Not long after that, JJ broke out the hauntingly melodic piano and Shine On You Crazy Diamond timbred synth you hear throughout. 
  Once it had a good structure to it, Mark came in and added the dynamic cello swells that open the song, some subtle strings, the melodic clarinet and flute, and a bit of synth pad near the end to spice up the soup a bit. He also had the great idea to ask Nyla to add some vocals, which she did in her typically dynamic and expressive way using her original lyrics. Last, but definitely not least, we convinced Stephen to add some of his perfectly mood-setting banjo. 
  Once it was all in the can, it actually sat for several months before being revived by Chris, who also did the production and mix, expertly, as always.
   This song is an example of Eclectic Collective coming together to bring another one of Chris' brilliant songs to life. You should check out his new albums on Spotify, which you can find by clicking the link next to his name in the credits. 
  Also, this is our first time collaborating with Nyla K. We wanted to find a way to include her talents on this one, and her vocals here are magical. You can hear a lot more of them on her page if you follow the link next to her name in the credits, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Nyla K: 

I once overheard 
a hushed up conversation 
'tween the fishes coming home 
and thank god for a holiday
yea
making the bull frogs sing for joy
as they awake
yea
...and this... is what they had to say

Spanish moss and bullfrogs
cattail cotton in the wind
yea...
and won't U take me to the river
yea...
take me on down to the river
and U better not say....


Better Not Say (The Eclectic Collective)

I've spent the past week writing this song, the music is played on my keyboard.

Mr swing king

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics:

Meanwhile I try to write a new song
Bang my head against a brick wall
Nothing new will come
That’s just how it falls

I feel that I’m wasting time
Time passes so very slow
Can’t find that perfect rhyme
Nothing seems to want to flow

Chorus

Make it fine 
Make it good 
Live your life the way you should 

Take your time
Pass it around
Don’t let time let you down

Solo

Now this song is haunting me
Can’t think what I want to say
Dig deep in my memory
Maybe leave it for another day

Chorus x 2

Don’t let time let you down x 3

Don't let time let you down

Well your baby's got a breaking heart
But you don't care from the start
Because you, are just you

She's a wonderful girl to know
But you're a rat and I told you so
Because you, are just you

You treat em wrong and you break their hearts
And what is worse is from the start
You don't care what you do

445. because you are just you (harding).mp3
