Amagoi　(praying for rain)

あしたあめふれ
あめよふれ
くろくも
いなびかり
うちくだけ
つちのかほり
かぐわし

Tomorrow, rain, rain.
Dark clouds, cover the sky.
Lightning, shatter everything.
The smell of the earth is fragrant.

It is important to point out that the original song by Black Sabbath is not based on the Marvel Super Hero character, a common misconception. 
It's based on a sci-fi story conceived by the lyricist (Geezer Butler) of a self-fulfilling prophecy in which a man travels into the future and witnesses an apocalypse. 
In the process of returning to the present day to warn humanity, he is turned into steel by a magnetic field and is subsequently ridiculed and ignored by the people he intended to save. 
Feeling resentful, Iron Man retaliates by actually causing the apocalypse seen in his vision.
No.....his name wasn't Tony Stark.😃

Iron Man  (...for Ozzy )

A song about knowing the limitations or losing them or something entirely different#

Lyrics
Face the fear 
you love the most
just to feed the devil
that is your host
bleed your past
nostalgic ghosts
cos there’s nothing better
than those not chose

You need someone to stop you
but you got no one to hold back your hand 
from cashing out and in on crazy 
so it’s up to me to steer our ship to dry land
not quicksand
it’s in my hands
and on my hands

When a sickened sound
scars dirty minds
keep playing clowns
with a vicious smile
facing forwards
in twisted lines
to cheat the shadows
where sun don’t shine

But you need someone to stop you (we all need someone)
but you got no one to hold back your hand (your hand)
from cashing out and in on crazy 
so it’s up to me to steer our ship to dry land
not quicksand

But you’re not a victim in vain this time
we all know that you’re no fool
it’s just your half cup’s full of half empty
cos your demon’s are way too cool

But we all need someone to stop you (we all need someone)
but we got no one to hold back our hands (it’s your hand your hand)
from cashing out and in on crazy (does crazy save me)
so it’s up to me to steer our ship to dry land
not quicksand
it’s in my hands
and on my hands
these empty hands
it’s in our hands


Hand (we all need someone)

This track was inspired by "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" as translated by Simon Armitage. There are beautifully written passages describing Gawain's lonely journey through the a wintry northern landscape:
"...clouds shed their cargo of crystallised rain which froze as it fell to the frost-glazed earth. With nerves frozen numb he napped in his armour; bivouacked in the blackness amongst bare rocks where melt-water streamed from the snow-capped summits and high overhead hung chandeliers of ice."

A moment of self-awareness when time is running out. A song of the past, from my past.

Music and Lyrics by David Michael Turnbow

LYRICS
Horizontal rays of crimson disappear
And a breeze blows dust into my calloused mouth
And now, a visage like one I’ve never seen
A feeling, an image, a force
I know I’ll never live down

Head too woozy, I slip off my steed
Weak and wounded, steeped in scarlet’s rage
I stumble, bleeding, within and without
No clot can stop, no fear can steer me clear
Of where I now must go

My hemorrhaged past has caught up with me
I bite the bullet I should have bit long ago
Propped up against a boulder, my tombstone
“It’s over,” I mumble to myself
And to the great unknown

Here they come at last: my only friends
Word spreads fast; they’re decked in funeral black
Call me Buzzardbait, the Wayward Carrion
The sun pours down its heat, but me… 
Me, I don’t feel a thing

This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.
  Mark heard his part first and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning. 
  The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well-rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.
  Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.
  This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by, 
Mistermark:

The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind 

there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind

how could I have been so blind?

 

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me 

it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea

the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home 

the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown 

on their own


“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play” 

our leaders assured us we’d never go poor

and nobody questions the truth anymore 

but what did we do it all for?

 

Our science sustains us like fine works of art

but are we closer together or farther apart?

we’re each on an island alone on the sea

the ocean between us expands rapidly

is this where we wanted to be?

 

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me 

it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be

machines tried to help us but something went wrong

the future we wanted was here all along

 

The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind 

there were words left unsaid…

Todays track, all about how silly I feel about a fued with my brother.  Anyway... lots of fuzz, lots of delays and arpeggios and harmonies.  Very big and saturated sound.  It's a warm up, and is the initiation of my 365 challenge, where I'll be uploading a track every day for a year.  Hopefully this can be as a jolt of life into a world lacking inspiration.
