New Song here, finally.  A slower version than what I'd like.  Hope you enjoy it.

it's got me / it's got you
we've all got each other / by the throat

is there no way / is there no way / out  / of  / this  /abyss
this stupid, senseless / darkness?

Purgatory path by j. gardiner


there's really nothing left to say
but i'm going to say it anyway
thought i heard a whisper of the truth
but it didn't matter like i thought i might

Could have been an echo or the humming of a sharpened blade of steel
sliding in the rails of Revolution, the hounds are on the loose, they're on the trail.
The inhabitants are stark raving mad, this is documented well-

Fallen back to when the Radio played Paradise
falling into you, falling into you, i can't stop,i can't stop
i can't stop falling down the rabbit hole of passionate replys
i didn't even know, i didn't even know
that i was broken
till i found some bits of me, lying on the sacred ground in a dusty field, in a fever dream
just this side of town...  every time he turns around,he doesn't even know what he is feeling disconnected from
he only finds that he is further down the purgatory path
still hoping for some Reverie
even though it's no longer free
but just this Now in the evening's quiet Twilight
all concerns appear as superficial, like she said,"the more i learn, the less i know" and i concur--

Return to the Light (cello, solo viola, viola sections and piano)

The basic bed tracks of this composition were done back in 2013 with just piano and cello and then placed carefully and hopefully on the back burner. I then decided to resurrect it as it just seemed to resonate recently, so I added some other solo viola and minimal viola section parts. Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did composing it. 

I must add that the cello part is a virtual instrument called Blackus. At the time in 2013 it was in beta form, and programmed for Kontakt Sampler by an “actual” cellist from Australia by the name of Blake Robinson. And best of all, it was free. The little VI company Embertone picked it up later on and developed it further, but I really like the sound of the original version as well. Grit and all. The solo viola is by Audio Modeling. 

The title, Return to the Light was inspired in part by the condition of the world in 2025 as it seems to be heading to a very uncertain and dangerous place. I feel that eventually we will realize that we can’t keep doing things with unprecedented greed and corruption. Our technology is also getting much too advanced for our collective maturity especially in the war department. Science and technology when used for good is a very good thing but for some it is becoming the new God. Science without morals or caring is just materialism, but to be fair, spirituality, religion/morals without science can be superstition. They must agree.

PS: Cover artwork and design by yours truly. All Instruments whether acoustic or plug-ins are performed by myself, unless otherwise indicated. No AI or phrases included.

This song began in Artur's jam room at his house, where he creates all of his amazing music on his Fender Jaguar, which is perfect for the surf sound, at which he's a master. He shared it with Josh, who shared it with the group.
  Before Josh could lay down a bass part to it, though, JJ came up with his elegantly moody synth and laid it down. The rhythm section, Josh and Ken, then did their usual dance, dialing it in with some back and forth. Stephen was next in line, adding a subtle duet with Artur's chords. Tez then played the ethereal lead throughout most of it. Stephen, after it was pretty much laid down, came through with the ripping wah solo towards the end.
  Once the music was all taken care of, Carl came up with some great lyrics for it, and sang them, as the newest member of the group. He also laid down an accompanying acoustic rhythm guitar part, too. After Carl did his thing, we turned it over to Stephen for a mix, which he did with his professional skill set.
  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock tunes Artur has shared with Eclectic Collective. If you dig the sound, he has plenty more great ones on his page, which are worth checking out, too. We tried to do this with a little nod to The Police, the band, not the profession. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. Thanks for listening.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Who said we're different
We got our genes and our names
One human mission
Heart fused like fission
Real collective brains

Pure pine for pure
Pleased though holds hands
Reel in one love
Filter for our sands

I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue
I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LE PURPLE HAZE
DANS LA VALLÉE DES SYCOMORES
UN PARADIS ARTIFICIEL
A L’AUTRE BOUT DE L’ARC EN CIEL
ET TANT ET TANT DE TEMPS DEVANT
QU’ON EN VOIT PAS VRAIMENT LA FIN

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LES CHAMPS DE FRAISES
DANS LES BRUMES DU NEVERMORE

UN PARADIS CONSENSUEL
PEUPLÉ DE FORMES SENSUELLES
AVANT D’ALLER SE FAIRE AVOIR DE L’AUTRE CÔTÉ DU MIROIR

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
JUSTE FILER À L’ANGLAISE
ET RESSUSCITER LE MATAMORE

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
YELLOW SUNSHINE PURPLE HAZE
ET NO FUTUR DANS L’ANGLE MORT

Debbies`s words about the piano composition:
"This piano composition takes its cues from Beethoven's Bagatelle "Für Elise". It seemed a bit of fun to give Beethoven's famous piece a new twist and so we have."

Thank you to my dear Debbie, Arne, and Peter, for this marvelous and joyful experience of working together. It brings so much JOY:)

An Autumn Pastorale

The year’s getting late, now summer’s sleeping
I contemplate how autumn’s creeping in.
Berries shining for the birds
As they harmonise each others’ words In a chorus like the angels heard.

The year’s getting late, for carefree living

Lazy times, with honest give and take.
Simple joys like baby smiles
And climbing hills to see for miles
The evening star switching on…year’s getting late

The year’s getting late, memories clinging
Better times, that sweet hope’s bringing in
The last of this year’s butterflies
Mother nature’s neat surprise

Can’t those days come back please? … year’s getting late.

Autumn Pastorale. Debra B. Oddrun E. Poet Peter. Arne H.

Lyrics:
Hétéro paradoxale, ou lesbienne libertine.
Tu règles la focale de ta grâce androgyne.
Anneau à ton sourcil, ou perçant ta narine
Ta pâleur indocile, ton parfum de nectarine. 

Souffle rauque de miel, quand tu embrasses
Semant dans ton ciel, tes étoiles voraces
Ta démarche féline, ton regard de chagasse
Ta rudesse câline, que jamais rien n’efface. 

Ta splendeur animale, quand la nuit te domine
S’enroule en dédale, de mailles douces et fines.
Tu érodes le temps, une bête dans ta poitrine
Le tempo en dedans, sous ton manteau d’épines.

Tes sabots fourchus scandent ta force et ta grâce,
Tes amours déçus, et le magma sous la glace.
Lèche tes blessures, quand enfin tu te délasses
Dans le clair-obscur où tes démons te terrassent.

Corps fondu dans le satin, humide sous la bruine,
Tu pilotes ton destin, comme ton Aston-Martin.
Dans le feu de tes reins, ta révolte se dessine.
La fermeté de tes seins, d’un coup de dague m’assassine
