courage to the abyss: the existentialists' prison zoo is but dante's limbo, which admittedly requires the lion's courage to roam, which the administered world suppresses under a fragile layer of so-called civilization by encouraging rats and trimming eagles...

Psycho Killer (Talking Heads cover)

For those who hate the pigeons ability to convert any clean place into a dirty mess, I would recommend listening to Tom Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park"

*** SKINNER PIGEONS ***

The Skinner pigeons displayed superstitious learning
when they learned to perform actions
unrelated to rewards.
In fact the trays that offered them delicious nutrients
were just opened by a timer
set to fire from time to time.
And so these birds would keep repeating senseless dances,
empty swingings, useless stances,
thinking they were in command.
Believing that they were the ones there in command.  

This begs the question:
What about success prescriptions,
secret methods, clever fictions?
Do they really lift our lives?
As we go forward pushing doorways, shouting orders,
firing people, building borders,
maybe we're not better than those helpless birds 
that swing their heads or flap their wings
thinking this entails the feeding
that is coming anyway.
The random feeding that is coming anyway.

Still we keep searching for the reasons of decaying,
for the meaning of our praying,
for the guilty butterfly.
We keep denying to be lost in mindless fighting,
running blind amidst the lightning,
waiting for the final strike.
We want the answers that will feed our understanding
that will bring us consolation
that will give a reason why.
We want the answers that will give a reason why.

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)

Aside from musical satisfaction and $$$ - the motivations for artists to keeping going can be an addiction to the love from the audience.

SCREAMING AND THROWING UNDIES

Take my time with plug-ins
Connection satisfaction
Waving arms like a summons
Pointy introductions
And soon I’m ridin’ minor sevenths
Endorphins in my canal
I’m like a godly presence
As music funks it’s way around

But the pessimist inside – says shoot me your lovin’ arrows
Cause the deficit is – oh - the needing of something so shallow
Gimme screaming and throwing undies (love me love me love me)
Gimme screaming and throwing undies

Career or labour of love
Try and define it
Eyeing up those at the front
Is anyone buyin’ it
I’m phrasing out the words I wrote
Looking for misty eyes 
Reaching for a soulful note
Into clover wrap me tight 

Nature’s opium ride
Musicality
Bathing up here in spotlight
Dopamine alchemy                             Yeah I’m riding . . .
