Lyrics:
Sometimes I like to go fishing 
Down on the river side
Being out there in the open air 
Watching those fish go by

With a pole and line in the water 
Sit back and just wait 
Never catch a fish
Never get a bite 
Never use any fish bait

You would not call me a fisherman 
Happy just to let things be 
I don’t bother those fishes 
Those fishes don’t bother me 

You might find me
On a summer’s day 
Down on the river side
Listening to the sound of a running stream 
Watching those fish go by 

With a pole and line in the water 
Sit back and just wait 
Never catch a fish
Never get a bite 
Never use any fish bait

You would not call me a fisherman 
I’m happy just to let things be 
I don’t bother those fishes 
Those fishes don’t bother me

I have TMJ jaw surgery on my birthday 20 August.. good or bad we will see.

Unbelievable, Spotify people still try to sabotage me. A girl from instagram (AC) and her piano, string label tried to secretly release her songs/album (oh, just coinicidentally 8 tracks as well) on the day before all my releases and my album). Sad she does not believe in her own music?? I believe in my music. I have changed all the dates now.. Stay tuned for the details. You can still presave without a problem..
.

In my heart the memory of what would never be
will remain forever free..

A fragment of a dream
in an achingly bright reality never seen..

In Your Heart I Stay

In Your Heart I Stay (New Master)

Thanks to Librivox for recital of the poem God's World
by Edna St. Vincent Millay read by Linda Leu

O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
   Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
   Thy mists, that roll and rise!
Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag
And all but cry with colour!   That gaunt crag
To crush!   To lift the lean of that black bluff!
World, World, I cannot get thee close enough!

Long have I known a glory in it all,
         But never knew I this;
         Here such a passion is
As stretcheth me apart, - Lord, I do fear
Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year;
My soul is all but out of me, - let fall
No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.

Too Beautiful

This is them (final version) *

Calming Life Form

Jamming with noise and orquestra sounds with random synth beats in a static ambient.

Mixing with other takes in post production.

R&N (18.1+14.1)

Even though there's nobody watching over
I offer this prayer to the empty air
That someone may see that someone may care
Even though...

Even though there's nobody watching over
With these hands I hold to a slender hope
That someone may hear that someone may know
Even though...

This whole world may explode
Still, I'll be at this bar drinking and praying alone
Even so, even so I know there's nobody watching over me

Even though I've no faith no more
I wanted to be lifted by the gospel choir
I want to be sanctified, I want to be sanctified
Even though...

Even though I'm one infinitesimal soul
I got no cause to believe
And yet I want to believe that
Somebody may be watching over me
Even though...

Even though there's nobody watching over...

Drinking And Praying

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell – piano, organ, composition
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Suhr electric guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass

This song began one creative Saturday evening several weeks ago with JJ coming up with it on his organ, piano, bass, and drums. He wrote it with the Eclectic Collective in mind and immediately shared it with the rest of us.
  Ken was the first to jump on it, adding his strong, Masonesque drums. Josh excitedly dove in once he had a beat to play off of. Then, it was time for the guitarists in the band to show off their skills. Stephen laid down the psychedelic, textural guitar you hear throughout, as well as the thrilling solo in the middle, starting around 1:25 and ending around 1:50. Tez did his best Dave Gilmour impression, adding rest of the fiery lead solo you hear throughout, as well. 
  Once it was in the can, we needed a mix, of course, and Stephen was kind enough to work his magic on the production.
  This is a perfect example of a JJ seed that took bloom with the EC. We all love working on his songs. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it

Desert Moon Flower-Eclectic Collective

Story time. February seems to bring out my dark side.  Here we have a very bad man about to have his sentence fulfilled. In it, he will receive his final "song". The same "song" that his victims received. 

Lyrics;
Piper
I pay the Devil's dues
This Piper's lost the tune
Like the many souls who sang my song
I leave this world too soon

I'm not seeking mercy
Not asking to be saved
I'm not looking for forgiveness
For deeds deemed depraved

The doctor stands beside me
His hand rests on my head
Strapped in, I can not move
As I lay upon the bed

The singers sang the Piper's song
And I set those voices free
I was writing songs days one and two
And I played them on day three

Now bring your music doctor
I look forward to your tune
Inject me with a melody
'til my beating heart's consumed
Not quite a requiem
But I accept this honorarium
For the music that I gave them
The music moving through me
From my shoulders to my hands
I feel the final chorus
Banishing the damned

Darkness overcomes me
I receive the Devil's kiss
No sight or sound or focus
As I sink through the abyss

I pay the Devil's dues
This Piper's lost his song
Yet beating in the darkest hearts
The Piper's music carries on

Drinking And Praying
