The shadow of my soul

In the shadow of my soul
There are rooms without a key
Boxes locked for years
Filled with dreams I didnt live

I walk through faded memories
They knock but never speak
I want to open every door
But time keeps holding me

I want to open them but I shake
Every dream is just a piece
Of the man I never became
Let me breathe let me break
Let me breathe let me break

There are letters never written
Words I let drift away
Like leaves in quiet autumn
I never dared to face

I walk through faded memories
They knock but never speak
I want to open every door
But time keeps holding me

I want to open them but I shake
Every dream is just a piece
Of the man I never became
Let me breathe let me break
Let me breathe let me break

Locked boxes dreams in line
Every name a scar of mine
Left too much behind me
Now times trying to find me
No map no key just haze
Steps lost in a silent maze
But if I crack just one apart
Maybe I rewrite my heart

I want to open them but I shake
Every dream is just a piece
Of the man I never became
Let me breathe let me break
Let me breathe let me break

In the shadow of my soul
Sleeping dreams remain
And maybe one day
Theyll speak my name

the shadow of my soul

has been reported that former government health officials, including the current CDC director, have made comments indicating the six-foot social distancing guideline was an "arbitrary" or "empiric" decision and not based on specific scientific studies. 
The current acting director of the CDC is Jim O'Neill. The previous confirmed director was Susan Monarez, who was fired in August 2025- just a saying! 🙌🙌🙌🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼 1 Thessalonians 5:3! 🙌

Ship of Foolishness-Stripped

[I accidentally removed the track. Sorry about that - those who have already listened can just move on.]
Unfortunately, the connection has dropped, and we cannot be sure what is happening in the apartment where, at such a late hour, the light is still on. Probably nothing; they’re likely watching a film or reading a book. They might be projecting their reactions outward, and what we see could therefore be nothing more than the reflection of someone else’s nightmares — or dreams. Certainly, we have now reached a turning point: nothing can any longer be regarded as real, or the opposite... (all talk!).

This is the fifth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

Lyrics 

I’ve got wind in my hair
Smile on my face
Needle point to ninety five
No one anywhere around

Back pinned to my seat 
She’s revving high
Pulling away clean and green
Front end up high

This jalopy has only one speed
It’s full throttle ahead
From stoplight to stoplight

Who want to take a ride
Take your life
Put it in my hands
Take a thrill ride

Check the oil, check the tires
Every night
Put a fresh shine on the paint job
Man, she looks so tight

I’ve got no reason to stop
No one gonna stop me
Needle up to hundred five
Red and blue lights all around

Hands pinned to my back
Feet spread wide
Got a fresh shiner on my eye
I know better

Take A Thrill Ride

This song began as a looper beat that Josh created in BandLab. He does that often to start an idea. However, this beat sat on the shelf for almost a year, until he shared it with JJ for one of his Saturday night music sessions. JJ put an arrangement on it with his organ and bass. Josh quickly replaced the bass idea with his own version of it, though. 
  Now it was Ken's turn to replace the dull looper beat with something alive and organic, which he did in the most creative and solid way possible. We had a skeleton now, and it was time to share it with Beck, with whom this is Eclectic Collective's first song. She added her magic via the synth you hear sprinkled throughout. Stephen weighed in next with his funky wah guitar. Josh then wrapped things up by adding the simple, melodic guitar lines your hear throughout.
  It was almost done at this point, but of course, we wanted Carl to add his greatness to it, as well, which he did by writing and singing some compelling vocals. He took the working title, which Josh came up with having just read The Odyssey, and wrote a whole song about it! The Odyssey, of course, is the ancient Greek story of a warrior, sailor, and displaced king who survives many perils on his epic quest to regain his kingdom.  
  Once it was all laid down, we asked Tez to do his expert work with the mix and production, which he did perfectly, as always. We're very lucky to have two very talented producers in the group, and grateful to Tez for ironing this one out for us. 
  This is, as mentioned, the EC's first go round with Beck, and we couldn't be more thrilled to work with her. Not only is she a skilled, creative musician, but she is a delightful ray of sunlight to work with, too. We have another collab with her we plan to release in the coming weeks, as well. There will be more to follow. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Hold on dear crew
Cruel winds fly north
Our tenth foul day
Land found fresh worth
Untameable sea
We survived people
Ashore
Fresh water
Food
Lessen our feeble

Three of company
Greet these inhabitants
Find what land lends their habitance
Trio arrive and find not hurt
Then found local food
Good offering flirty

Three watered mouths by nicest taste
Who needs home
We stay
No haste
Love lotus buds
Don’t mind the captain
Let’s stay and munch this tuck of trapping

Captain bemused All aboard!
No more shall eat this food mind sword
What of home!
What of love!
Weep not dear three
Cold turkey tough

Smite that sea
Hold tight your oars
Now heave to Ithaca
South-westwards

Bye Lotus eaters
Trip like land
Love lesson lives 
Myth mystery scanned

Isle of the Lotus Eaters (Eclectic Collective with Sunnybeck)

Don't eat it
Don't taste it
It taste like soap
It taste like soap

It's not the key
To the knowledge
It's not the key
To the knowledge

Of good versus evil
Of good versus evil
I say it's wrong
I say it's wrong

For I am the
Forbidden Bite
For I am the
Serpent
I'm right
For I am the
Serpent
I'm right

They call me the demon
The demon from hell
But what is hell
But what is hell

They trick you
Into thinking
I'm evil
Which is bad
But I'm good
But I'm good

For I am the
Forbidden Bite
For I am the
Serpent
I'm right
For I am the
Serpent
I'm right

If you
Don’t taste the truth
Then what is hell
If you
Don’t taste the truth
Then what is hell

They pretend
To care
They pretend
To be scared

For I am the
Forbidden Bite
For I am the
Serpent
I'm right
For I am the
Serpent
I'm right
