She look the best to me
after
hot sex, bare chest
layin next to me
heavy breath, hair messed
and her sweat I breathe
I wish this moment would
never leave
as I caress her curves
she tells me twice
that i say the right words
but if I were
every word
was inspired by her
see she the muse I choose
so my heart be heard
she looks me deep in my eyes
touches my face
she wraps me up in her thighs
its so nice
when her whole essence is talking
I know it aint lies
she says "I love you"
well I love you too
Its so nice, like so right
like all night, we hold tight
together
as we bust in lust we
touch hearts
is it love? It must be
is it love?.......

It must be

cos how can something be so right
for one night
and then the next day gone?
never have i known a love so strong
guess I gott another verse for a hip hop song
but its love i want
girl its been so long
when you hold me my heart melts
the love felt
is so deep
my soul keeps
you so close
like nights of no sleep
got your words on repeat
let your soul speak
make my heart compleate

so close i can feel your heart beat
you starting me
baby girl you a part of me
so pardon me
its hard on me
so i gotta be a part of you to
bella
like cinderella
how you fittin the shoe

baby girl
you the world
you mean more to me
than any money
any moment
any man could be
your my hopes
your my dreams
your my fantasy
I stand on
top of the world
when you stand with me

am i holding on today
to a love that passed away
is there nothing left to say
to you?

or is the feeling still so strong
its keeping us from movin on
I dont think the love has gone
Do you?

She look the best to me
after
hot sex, bare chest
layin next to me
heavy breath, hair messed
and her sweat I breathe
I wish this moment would
..................never leave

"Simon Wright and The Eclective"

The Name "The Eclective" is the combination of the words Collective and Eclectic, which best describes the style of music. Simon Wright from Byron Bay fronts the Eclective and brings with him the laid back, creative, party attitude that Byron is famous for. The musicians that make up the Eclective are very accomplished in a range of genres and bring that to their song writing and stage performance. Over all I guess you could say they’re a groove band but they touch on everything from blues, roots, funk, soul, hip hop, jazz, folk, reggae and even rock.

Since first appearing in the healthy Melbourne music scene, "The Eclective" has been making quite an impression on the industry and punters alike, landing their first residency at the "Blue Tile Lounge" in September 2007. This was quickly followed by a residency at Melbourne’s iconic "ESPY" hotel in St Kilda. This momentum didn’t stop there. The Eclective grew in popularity and in band members and by Febuary 2008 they landed their first residency at Fitzroy’s "Night Cat" where the now 8-piece found room to really establish their sound. Melbourne just can’t get enough of their fun loving energy and more sucessful shows just kept coming. Sharing the stage with some of Melbourne’s favourites like Bamboos, De Jah Groove, Direct Influence and Melodics on some of Melbourne’s most popular stages including Revolver, Veludos and the Hi- Fi bar, the Eclective never fails to get the hips-a-swinging, the feet-a-tappin’ and a room full of smiles from ear to ear.

The very underground....
Simon Wright's Mixed

BOOTLEG
CD


1. Just called (to let you know)

I wrote this for an ex girlfriend after she told me that she loved me for the first time and me, being stupid (my heart still hurtin from the last time it was broken) couldnt say I loved her back. She burst into tears and we broke up. Funny thing is when I finaly sung her the song she thought I had written it for someone else and hated it........... Chicks mate, you just cant win.

2. Baby Move (Jackson 5 remix everyones fav, it has my mum at the end ....... not my girlfriend, as had been thought before)

This one is just me bein cheeky. I'm not that smooth in real life. The inspiration came from a few different girls from my past and dancing.......... I love dancing. Mum called me while i was in the studio half way through a track so I held the phone up to the microphone and said "alright mum your on"........ thats what came out. Mumskis is great. She was in adelaide at the time.......

3. Muse (written and sung by my Brother Jed Feat. The Wright Brothers)

My brother wrote this one. Its about falling out of love and trying not to let the selfish emtions like jealousy cloud the truth of a relationship with someone that you once loved "We will find a way" (then again you'll have to ask him if that is an acurate translation)

4. You Dont Know (Beat by D Dub Dave)

This was for the same girl as track 1. After I couldnt say I loved her she never believed me when I said I did. I tryed to convince her, hence "You dont Know" She loved that track, and she knew I'd written that one for her because of the line "and I love it how you love your own tits" she has nice boobs........ mmmmmm, and she knew it.

5. The Worth (Feat. the Groove Collective)

For the same girl again. Thease days she challenges me everytime I talk with her, cuts me down, it means I have to be very strong in what I believe "My intentios are met with your resistance" n "So hard to figure whats the truth" I suppose she tests me in a way. I was so scared to admit to myself that I loved her (fear of a broken heart) but when I did I was enlightened I suppose. cos yes my heart broke again (ouch) but being honest with yourself is so much more beautiful. "You showed me the worth of whats beautiful but hurts" and that is priceless. Please take my advice, its a horible lesson to learn on your own. I still love her..... always will

6. Time (produced by Mark Opitz Feat. The Wright Brothers)

My brother wrote this one again, its about spending many years waiting for a girl he loved to come back from overseas, even though she was not waiting herself (if you know what I mean, naughty gal) and then realising that he had changed......... with TIME!! "Its only time but its not just time" Mark Opitz is a big time Australian producer he did ACDC, INXS, Cold Chisel..... blah blah blah etc etc etc.......

7. This Fist (Beat by Ninth Letta from the UK)

I wrote this one when for the first time in my life a woman was not the most important thing to me. There are so many problems in the world that are overlooked because of the comfortable enviroment we choose to live in. Its my stand up n be counted song. Stay strong and face the worlds problems........... with a fist full of love.

8. Gnostix Baby (Beat by Ninth Letta)

This is my arrogant hip hop track, my check me out FIGJAM song. I had a moment with this track while I was in adelaide that blew my mind. I'd expain but unless you were there it probably would blow you away as much as it did me and the crew I was wit. Spooky shit it was........

9. The Universe works Wonders (Feat. The Wright Brothers)

This is to me a prayer. I'm not religeous (as in no member of any cult including the christian cult which is so redaly accepted in this country. I hope your not a christian.........) but I do believe in the higher power. As long as your greatful for what your given the universe will provide. And sometimes blow your mind. The Universe looks after me well she does. I always play this track last at gigs to say thank you for a good night and for giving me the gift of music. "If it seems that your troubles come in numbers, give it faith that The Universe works wonders"

For anyone that would like to get their hands on a copy of my very un-packaged, un-unsigned, un-derground mix CD "Bootleg" please send me a cheque or money order for $15 to 8 Ballarat st, Collingwood VIC 3066 along with your Name and address and I'll get it back at you within 14 days.........


Hope that provides a little insight.
Thanks nix

big love

This Fist
by Simon Wright

Picture this
we could flip the script on some hip hop shit n print to disk
get about our buisness
to get it out like a slipped disk
so that when I'm holding the mic
everybody's got a fist like this
a fist of percistance a fist of truth
a fist of resistance a fist of youth
not the fist that is used by thugs to push fear n drugs
this the fist thats goin to rise above n show love
raise your fist up
rise above n show love
raise your fist up

Not the fist that will crush the landscape no
this the fist that will bust a hand shake yo
not the fist that will seal a mans fate no
this the fist that will sign the mandate
to ban hate
go round for round
or pound for dollar
if you diggin the sound you found then holla
ninth letta
UK to Bbay
this fist go a long way

people unite
globalise we can open there eyes when we
Raise a fist up
you can forget all the lies only truth vocalise when we
Raise a fist up

you say you not ready
theres to much to be afraid of
if its too heavy
just take my hand
I'll hold your weight up
cos too many
turn to the darkside like vader
hold steady
stand strong lookin straight up
they worried about there office 
their profits n bandwidth
while the mother earth suffer
she never did plan this
and third world poverty
aint third on the list
can someone please explain to me
the point that we missed
cos soldiers are firing
children dying
mothers are crying
thease are tuff times in
the part of the world that nobody's got the time for
unless of coase a war
will somehow make a dime for
the fruitful nation
built on slave labour
they lettin you live
then their doin you a favour
the only condition is shut up n listen
raise your fist if this conditioning
is not what you wishing

people unite
globalise we can open there eyes when we
Raise a fist up
you can forget all the lies only truth vocalise when we
Raise a fist up

I dont Blame you
by Simon Wright

I'm talkin
Wasted word, racist slurs, faceless verbs
we're livin in a race based world
i dont blame you
Im talkin
Fast money, fast women, fast wheels
we're livin in a fast paced world
i dont blame you
whatever
greed n power the need to devour
we're livin in a cash based world
i dont blame you
but if you
rise above
and you live for love
and you do it even though you know its never enough
then i
i praise you

Cos its hard to make a living
trying to be a good person
so its hard to trust a man
when he's filling up his purse
and its hard to make a change
if you scared to make it worse
so you puttin on a brave face
but deep inside it hurts
but when you layin on the death bed
leaning on the nurse
then would you be proud of what you
leaving in the hurst
pepole know your beautiful
know your worth
were living on the same
place praise your mother earth

another
border dispute, send in the troops, fuck the truth
we're livin in the arms race world
i dont blame you
and when um,
cosiquence seems of no relivence then
we're livin in a godless world
i dont blame you
Dispite for each other
you fightin wit your brother
you livin in a hate based world
such a shame to
but if you
rise above
and you live for love
and you do it even though you know its never enough
then i
i praise you

They say the
one with the brightest lights is leading the way
but thease days
the bright lights are on dance floors n DJs
what ever happened
to music with somthin to say
I hear the people clappin
but I'm just not feelin it hey,
still I'll leave it alone
cos each to his own
but me I prefer that hot shit
thats right in the zone
its got that bad ass bass
thats got you bouncin along
and the lyrics that fill your mind
like a ripple in a pond do

Its hard to make a living
trying to be a good person
so its hard to trust a man
when he's filling up his purse
and its hard to make a change
if you scared to make it worse
so you puttin on a brave face
but deep inside it hurts
but when you layin on the death bed
leaning on the nurse
then would you be proud of what you
leaving in the hurst
pepole know your beautiful
know your worth
were living on the same
place praise your mother earth

Cio bella
we han fun together
and you were hot
but I cant stay in the sun forever
I often stop
kick back n wonder whether
if we'd a gone through
would we be together forever
then I remeber
there's so few pleasures that last
and the future is too precious
to waste it on the past
still I miss you muchly
every time I think about
how much in love we'd
bust in lust
till we touched the cusp n rush
leavin you all blushed
you never had enough
still I love you muchly
baby girl I wanna thank you, grazie

Take me to the moon right now
is it safe to assume baby you know how
to take me to the moon right now
cos when you look at me that way
then I'm half way there
yeah

Holla bonita seniorita
¿cómo estás?
so nice to meet ya
damb baby girl how you moove like that
in that
little white skirt that makes your ass look phat
like woooooo.....
I could make moves with that
if you give me half a chance I'm a smooth ass cat
and you can ask my band man thats a fact
and I'm humble too
I'll have fun with you
So come on dance with me baby
show me what you can do
I seen you looking
I've been watchin you too
maybe we could find out
if what they say is true
if you hot on the dance floor
then you hot in the bedroom

So take me to your room right now
is it safe to assume baby you know how
to take me to the moon right now
cos when you look at me that way
then I'm half way there
yeah...... he he
