This song began when Joe, feeling a bit nostalgic, wrote the lyrics and composed it on his acoustic guitar. He recorded it and sang it with expert harmonies, then decided to share it with Eclectic Collective. We were all very excited to get work on our second song with Joe, as we all admire his songwriting.
  First up was Tez this time, oddly enough. He was able to identify all the fill spots and light up the solo without the rest of us even adding anything yet. Next came Ken, who usually goes first, adding his steady grooving drums and tasty percussion. Once the drums were down, Josh completed the rhythm section by adding his fretted bass. He also worked out an organ part to give the whole sound a bit of thickness. Also adding some thickness and texture, Stephen added a clean electric rhythm part, as well. 
  Once we had it in can we asked Stephen to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This, as mentioned, is Eclectic Collective's second song with Joe, and we all enjoyed bringing it to life with him. He's a wonderful collaborator and an all around good dude. Do yourself a favor and go check out his page, which is rich in great songs. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino:

If you find yourself in trouble and you think you've lost your way. 
Here's hoping that you find a path to a better day.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope you find all the answers to all those questions vexing you.
I hope you can find a way not to bite off more than you can chew.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality
All those places that you said that you wanted to see.
I hope they're as good as you expected them to be.
I want you to know that you hold a special place in my heart.
I think about you often even though we are apart.
They say that when you love somebody sometimes you gotta be willing to let them go.
You gotta let them spread their wings and fly wherever the wind decides to blow. 
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope that you're happy. I hope that you're doing well.  I sure hope that you're doing swell.You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality

"Family Reunions"
Guitar, vocal, and lyrics by
Linda Straub

Crickets on summer evenings 
dinner on the grounds
Grandpa playing guitar
such sweet southern sounds 

Grandma in her beads and apron
sitting in an adirondack chair
catching her much needed breath
from all her work and loving care

Oh, thanks for those family reunions
all the laughter and precious love
The memory of those happy times
now are soft echoes from above. 

Everyone gathered together
so much joy to be found
we sang songs and told old tales
and passed them all around

Grownups sittin' in lawn chairs
and children running 'round
Picnic tables full of southern food
at those dinners on the grounds

Oh, thanks for those family reunions
all the laughter and precious love
The memory of those happy times
now are soft echoes from above

The memory of those happy times
now are soft echoes from above.

Lyrics:
Turn on the radio
Expecting to hear your voice
Wait a minute, there’s no sound
Make another station choice

Look at myself in the mirror
Paintbrush seems unnatural
Give me my old faithful Fender

Next thing I hear is a favorite
Heard it so many times
Almost don’t like it anymore
Can’t take this again

I love that old familiar sound
Like your voice when I need a reset
Quell that whistling in my head

Look at myself 
Paintbrush seems unnatural
Give me my old faithful Fender

Quell that whistling in my head

 My best option might be 
Take a little friendship break
Find a book or canvas
Occupy my head for a while

I love that old familiar sound
Like your voice when I need a reset
Quell that whistling in my head

Look at myself in the mirror
Paintbrush seems unnatural
Give me my old faithful Fender

Quell that whistling in my head

Paintbrush Seems Unnatural

Lyrics:

Just this afternoon
Looking at another ridiculous post
Remember how we used to 
Drink from the hose?
Yes I do, I’m so proud of myself

I would not trade away today
To go back to a time
Before we made our lives
So much better

Boonie desert parties
Circled around the keg, it was great
Talking about the bands 
We used to dig, best of all time
Nothing worth hearing any more

Back then had my friends
Back then had my family
All this still hold true today
Got good friends 
Got good family

I would not trade away today
To go back to a time
Before we made our lives
So much better

No, I think I’ve still got
Many good days ahead of me

I would not trade away today
To go back to a time
Before we made our lives
So much better

Big collars on our shirts
Used to be so disco man
Making popcorn in a pie tin
Big foil bubble on the stovetop

I would not trade away today
To go back to a time
Before we made our lives
So much better

Trade Away Today
