Every night at ten o’clock, before I go to bed 
I doomscroll on my phone, and I see stories that fill me with dread
I know I should put down my phone and read a book, but I can’t control the urge
Things get stuck in my brain that I really wish I could purge
It’s a fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling
And it’s so hard to put down that phone once you pick it up and start that ball rolling
There’s a constant stream of bad news that never goes stale
Why can’t the world be more like a fairy tale
Forever chemicals in the water, pollution in the air
Global temperatures rising, and the oil companies don’t care
Russians making nuclear threats and our leaders they just shrug
Some nights it feels like I’m in a hospital bed and they‘re about to pull the plug
It’s a fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling
And it’s so hard to put down that phone once you pick it up and start that ball rolling
There’s a constant stream of bad news that never goes stale
Why can’t the world be more like a fairy tale

Microplastics your body
It’s bad to sit too long in your in your chair 
They say you can go sterile if you wear tight underwear
There’s an object heading towards us from deep in outer space
They say it might be an alien spacecraft on its way to destroy the human race
Too much information in the palm of your hand
Can make you just want to bury your head in the sand
Sometimes you’ve got to accept there are things beyond your control
Whatever will be will be.  You play an insignificant role 
It’s a fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling
And it’s so hard to put down that phone once you pick it up and start that ball rolling
There’s a constant stream of bad news that never goes stale
Why can’t the world be more like a fairy tale

Bright Eyes  ft. CHIARA

My Auntie lost her husband of over 60 years; she wanted me to write a Doo-Wop song for her...I said what do you want to call it? She said, "You're My Guy". 

[Verse 1]
In the Houston heat where the sun don't quit
You're my cool breeze my shady spot to sit
A good many try but none can compare
You're the song in my heart the wind in my hair

[Chorus]
You're my guy my favorite line
The melody I play on repeat every time
My favorite pastime my sweetest tune
With you every day feels brand new

[Verse 2]
Dusty boots and a wide Texas sky
You’re the reason I laugh the reason I smile
The clock spins slow but with you it flies
You’re my sunset glow my firework skies

[Chorus]
You're my guy my favorite line
The melody I play on repeat every time
My favorite pastime my sweetest tune
With you every day feels brand new

[Bridge]
If life’s a rodeo you’re my eight-second ride
If love’s a journey you’re my passenger side
You’re the song I hum when the world gets loud
My Texas star shining bright in the crowd

[Chorus]
You're my guy my favorite line
The melody I play on repeat every time
My favorite pastime my sweetest tune
With you every day feels brand new

You're My Guy

I'm so thankful to be a songwriter! Feels good to express like this. Just letting loose! This by far is the most different song I've ever written. Circumstances can hit you in crazy ways. Who would've thought my favorite dinosaur would be the title of a song lol. It surprised me but I went with it. The glorious Ankylosaurus, built like a tank. There are some very cold hearts out there, that tell lies, that are just so cruel, that betray, wanting to cause harm. Go ahead, try...because you'll just break your teeth on me...goodbye. Thanks for the song:) I've become an Ankylosaurus. This song was inspired from quite a few situations that happened within the past year. For all those out there who have encountered, conquered and moved on from those kinds of people, people who are really just unhappy.  Hey, you're an Ankylosaurus too! Thanks for listening to this live recording I did late last night on the Old Baldwin...which by the way is in need of a tuning. It might be a while before I post another song, hopefully I can get it tuned soon! 

Ankylosaurus

I'm free like driftwood
I'm feeling so good yeah

Cause I don't have a verse for you 
Only a chorus 

You tried to bite me in two
But I'm a Ankylosaurus 

And I don't know how 
Your heart pumps any blood at all 

Cause you're as cold as February 
I never wanna see you walking towards me 
Without you I can really shine
Forget my last name
Valentine

I'm free like driftwood
I'm feeling so good yeah

Cause I don't have a verse for you 
Only a chorus 

You tried to bite me in two
But I'm a Ankylosaurus 
I'm a Ankylosaurus!

And I don't know how 
Your heart pumps any blood at all 

Cause you're as cold as February 
I never wanna see you walking towards me 
Without you I can really shine
Forget my last name
Valentine

I'm an Ankylosaurus
I'm an Ankylosaurus
I'm an Ankylosaurus
I'm an Ankylosaurus

Hi Everyone!
The current situation in Europe and around the world means that songs like this are still needed! But our hope lives on, and I believe that light will overcome darkness! 🍀

Thanks a lot for listening and support!

Hope for Peace 🍀

 I wrote this song after a trip to Shady Hallow Lake in Indiana. Charlie has some lake front property there and it's great for camping, fishing, roasting marshmallows and playing live concerts. It's very calm and relaxing and a great time was had by all! I wrote the song back in 2010 but the video I put together last year. Check out the video and you will be there with me:

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/Mz_vslWLXaU

I tried to keep the video as true to the lyrics as I could. It was a lot of fun putting it together. I love the tranquility of a full moon casting the silvery glow over the lake! It's very magical! I especially love the fact that there were no I-phones, computers, TV's, ect, ect. No distractions, everything was left in the car! Times like those really heal a person. It was spiritually rejuvenating!  Charlie sang the song very well but my harms were a little flat (like my head!😂, sorry about that!). It was a very cool experience for me and my wife and we got to do some jamming by the fireside on the lake too! Well, I hope everyone enjoys it and thanks for dropping by and listening! That is always appreciated! Summer will be gone soon so for now, let's just bask under the glow of an Indiana Moon!! 🌕🙏✌🏼 

“INDIANA MOON”

SOFT CAMPFIRE GLOW,     
MELLOW SLEEPY LAGOON,    
SUCH SWEET VOICES SINGING UNDER,    
THE INDIANA MOON,

DANGLING OVERHEAD,   
LIKE A SILVERY BALLOON,             
REFLECTED IN THE STILL BLACK WATER,

SHADEY HOLLOW LAKE,     
LIKE A WELL-KNOWN TUNE,    
WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED,    
INDIANA MOON.

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass and Fender Stratocaster
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – electric piano 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- percussion, VST flute, and production editing
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals and lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song began more than a year ago, when Josh created a song out of a looper beat with his four string fretless bass. It sat on the shelf until a few weeks ago, when he shared it with JJ, who was in creative mode one Saturday evening. Josh had actually forgotten that he'd added a bass line to it, and thought he was just passing on a looper beat for JJ to play with. 
  However, JJ heard it, and was so excited that added his magical electric piano part, making it sound like a real song, instead of just drums and a bass. Ken also heard some magic in here, because he came up with his own brilliant beat to replace the looper that was used in for the seed. Mark was next to throw in, adding the striking drum pattern breakdown, and the thrilling flute solo, as well. Tez came in shortly after, adding his thrilling guitar to the mix. After everyone had added their parts, Josh came back and added two guitar parts, the simple low end line, as well as the high strumed triads. At this stage, Mark did some editing, as it is in his skill set, and made it less dense and easier to listen to. 
  Now that the song was musically complete, out newest member, Carl, dropped the amazing vocals you hear, singing his original lyrics. After Carl was done sprinkling his magic in it, we needed an able producer to bring out the magic of the recordings. Good thing we have a trained producer to do the job in Stephen, who mixed and mastered it superbly, as always. 
  This is Eclectic Collective's first fore into the afrobeat genre, although a few of us are really big fans already, and Josh has a few other originals in this genre buried on his page, as well. As always, we all enjoyed the process of hearing this one come together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Lyrics

Juice our Jah
Chalice of chime
Shooting star
Great rhythm
There's blood in the brine

Suture Sun
Grand heaven high
Some clan gone cruel
Needing collective eye

Eclectic host
Hoist our hale
Mused healing feast
Musical breeze as gale

Afro beat
Oh melody sweet
Beat afro
Show us where to go

Kalakuta Kingdom-Eclectic Collective

among the destruction, war, slayings and assasinations, Bob is making the headlines again, onya Bob you always put a smile on the dial.........aussie news, 2025......

Little Bob And The Anaconda

the irwins use to catch crocodiles
a nice little bunch full of sun and smiles
now bob's a supermodel, he gets around in his grundies
copping shit cos he made all the old girls drop their undies
squeezing into their lorna janes, can't take it any longer
all because of little bob and his big anaconda

remember little bob the wildlife warrior
burning round the zoo with his dad and his grandpa 
now he's smiling back at us, lying there on the grass
oiled up like a piston with his jocks fair up his arse
and the old girls get their knickers down and scream good on ya
all because of little bob and that big anaconda

if this had been a bloke making comments about a sheila
he'd be labeled vile and disgusting and probably a drug dealer
but cos it's little bob it's all cute and harmless fun
now wives are telling their hubbys fuck you're fat go for a run
you're looking like a beached whale I'm not turned on by your blubber
why can't you be more like little bob and his big anaconda 

now little bob's so popular, his cheeks they are aglow
and terries friends are lining up to give young bob a go
and a record company's bound to sign him up to sing a song
and surprise surprise you guessed it, it will be about his schlong
and the old girls frothing at the mouth, lining up over younder
to get a glimpse of little bob and his big anaconda
