Joss Sticks for Yannis

Moonrise (Inst.)

Cast of Characters: 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Paul Reed Smith semi hollow body electric Guitar 

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

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and triangle (triangle of love)

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song, in case you're not familiar, was written by Medeski, Martin, and Wood with guitarist John Scofield, and performed by them on an album eponymously named A Go Go. Josh has always been a huge fan of both MMW and J.S., and has always wanted to play more of their music, as he used to cover a couple of their songs in one of his main old bands. 

  Josh laid down the bass and after going back an forth a couple of times with Ken and his thrilling drums, they established the rhythm section. Soon after, Josh added his jazzy guitar, as well. We needed someone to play John Medeski's part, too, of course. So, we asked JJ if he'd do the honors, which he did in grand fashion. He also added some triangle hits you can listen for, that add a little bit more pizzaz to the whole thing. 

  Once it was all laid down, we needed a good mix, and no one is gooder than Stephen, so we asked him to mix it for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 

  This was a lot of fun to record, and we hope that comes through. This is a stripped down Eclectic Collective collab, where most of what we're all doing is improv. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

A Go Go - Eclectic Collective

I recently had the opportunity to enjoy a few wonderful days off, completely offline, in a small, old hotel in the countryside overlooking a beautiful lake. for some reason, this place has not yet been discovered by lifestyle influencers or occupied by adventure-seeking stand-up paddlers.

surrounded by this tranquility and far from the hustle and bustle, the lyrics for a song I had published on sc as an instrumental years ago came to mind. it wasn't that easy to get my virtual singer to perform the glissando guitar melody from back then, but it worked out reasonably well in the end.

have a fabulous, relaxing weekend, everyone!

trigger warning (not fishing for contradictory compliments): my english lyrics probably sound like schoolboy poetry. however, I have to take that risk, hoping the meaning still comes across. it‘s about realizing how empty it is to always chase the faster, better, more, to constantly wonder what‘s next, to see time as the enemy, and to ultimately be nothing but a rushing shadow of one's own driven nature.

clock ticks, so loud
ears wildly ringing
eyes on the door
nothing to hear
feet tap restlessly, drumming
standstill, still running
I'd like to ignore it
but it's too strong 
it will take me away

my fast-drifting days
a flash like a match in a blaze
all hours I chase
just lost in the haze
I’m losing this race
won’t find any ways
I’m wasting my days
As a ghost with no face

time quietly flies
it won’t wait and it won’t give me another chance for better
it will take me away 
as it did every day

my fast-drifting days
a flash like a match in a blaze
all hours I chase
just lost in the haze
I’m losing this race
won’t find any ways
I’m losing this race
As a ghost with no face

my fast-drifting days
a flash like a match in a blaze
all hours I chase
just lost in the haze
I’m losing this race
won’t find any ways
I’m losing this race
As a ghost with no face

I’m losing this race
As a ghost with no face
I’m losing this race
I’m a ghost with no face

Ghost with no face

Beyond Empires

This was an idea that had been kicking around in my head for a while. 
Then I wrote the lyrics while lying on a sun bed on my hols. 
A story about two men dating the same woman and having to share her. Their not happy but she’s enjoying them both for different reasons. 
One man has the cash to flash the other is partially broke but she’s enjoying them both equally for different reasons. 
They all know the score but can’t make up their minds to just walk away. 
I’m sure this goes on but this is just a tongue in cheek that’s  a little giggle of a song and to put a smile on your face while listening. 
And no it’s not from my past experiences  lol. 
Thanks as always to Mike for just being the best as always, converting sketch’s into full blown productions while making me laugh on the way. Last but not least Kim for her sultry vocal contributions that had a bit of Beautiful South Magic. 
Both are a true professionals & a pleasure to work with once we have dragged Kim out the pub.

3 Point Love Affair 

(Brownie, Fox & Kim) 

V1
I like to wine & dine you in the best 
Restaurants Mitchell star
It’s Gregg’s or Maccies on the bus cause this man he don’t own a car
(It really doesn’t matter because I getting the best of both )
It really doesn’t matter boys because we are all getting daily oats )
In the morning it’s salmon with poached eggs on french one sided posh toast 
It’s a strong brew & cornflakes & another notch on the bedpost 

Chorus 

If only we could make up  our minds 
If only this was a sign of the  times
In this three point love affair x2


V2
I can’t share you anymore with this caveman neanderthal 
Hey pretty boy it’s not all about you you don’t  have a clue
(I’m enjoying this boys can’t we stay close 
I’m enjoying this boys wait to see what’s under my coat ) 
Good night Neanderthal I hope you have the worst nightmares 
Look pretty boy just remember I’m the other side of our share 

Chorus 
If only we could make up  our minds 
If only this was a sign of the  times
In this three point love affair ……repeat to end

3 Point Love Affair - This Sound Society

Goblin Dance

A new song........ "If we desire a society of peace, then we cannot achieve such a society through violence. If we desire a society without discrimination, then we must not discriminate against anyone in the process of building this society. If we desire a society that is democratic, then democracy must become a means as well as an end."            Bayard Rustin

Lyrics:

Precious are the words we whisper in the night
Freedom and democracy the promises of light
They hang in quiet corners of every day
Like old porch flags folding when the children run away
Before we even notice, they can slip from our hands
Slipping like the shoreline, changing where we stand

Hold them close, don't let them go
Sing them loud when the winds of doubt blow
Freedom and democracy fragile burning sparks 
Tend the embers in your palm, keep them bright against the dark

Many fought and fell on fields we hardly name
Letters in a drawer, and photographs in frame
Many live without the chains that once bound the rest
Because someone kept the vigil and gave their very best
Taken for granted by carelessness and the cold
But worth the stories told, worth the blood and worth the gold

Teach your children gently how to guard the flame
How to argue with kindness, how to call a name
Cherish every small right, tend the garden with your hands
Don’t let silence be the landlord of these promised lands
Before the dawn is stolen, before the bell is broken
Let every honest heart be heard, every vow be spoken
                                                    
                                   Precious are the words, say them like a prayer
Carry them like candles through the cold thin air
We are the keepers of the light; we are the chosen ones
To protect them and cherish them, before they are gone, before we lose them
