I love the beautiful, clear vocals and the atmosphere of the song!

lovely song, great collab work..everything harmonizes and fits together..so good!

Des sons extrêmement acidulés... juste ce qu'il faut pour en profiter sous un palmier !

no idea, why french pop always means such a pleasure... that must have something to do with pieces like this.

Probably our last grand rock number as we start to wind down to finish our first collection of songs. Al took the reins with the lyrics on this one (and as always, the beautiful artwork) - inspired by a short story by Julia Armfield in Salt Slow and apparently an episode of Buffy! I just thought it sounded dead cool and really enjoyed singing her lyrics. Musically inspired by Nirvana, Elliott Smith, Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell.

Dans ses meilleurs aspects, le Gris a hérité le côté élégant du Noir. Il peut être soigné et délicat et apparaître, intemporel …. Pouvant être une rhapsodie de lumière et d'ombre.
Le Noir apporte profondeur et caractère, tandis que le Gris adoucit l'ensemble, créant un équilibre subtil entre sobriété et élégance, souvent source inattendue d’éclat et de profondeur. 
Cette création musicale ici avec voix féminine, essaie d'en interpréter les distinctions et nuances ….

********************************************************************************************************************

In its best aspects, Grey has inherited the elegance of Black. It can be neat and delicate and appear timeless .... Can be a rhapsody of light and shadow.
Black brings depth and character, while Grey softens the whole, creating a subtle balance between sobriety and elegance, often an unexpected source of radiance and depth. 
This musical creation here with feminine voice, attempts to interpret these distinctions and nuances ….

Black & Grey ....

citronade au clair de lune By Zitou Itou & Blackcat

(Femme d’Aujourd’hui)

Hold me in your arms
Viens sécher mes larmes
Hold me in your arms
Oui, je rends les armes
Femme d’aujourd’hui

Liberté et solitude
Si je brille dans la nuit
Contradictoire attitude…

Hold me in your arms
Viens sécher mes larmes
Hold me in your arms
Oui, je rends les armes
Femme d’aujourd’hui

Doutes et certitudes
Oui, je pleure dans la nuit
Je mens, congrat’itude…

Hold me in your arms
Viens sécher mes larmes
Hold me in your arms
Oui, je rends les armes
Je rends les armes…

Je rends les armes…

HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS

lyrics:
This is not a drill!

Give me something to break it in two
give me glory to rule the fools
take me in your house on a big flat screen
Ready to sink you on a dark black dream

Are you ready to become a slave of me?
Corrupted government ain't gonna set u free
All these righteous pre-election pigs
are now pointing the finger for you to pay the fee

Now it's the time, this is not a drill
ain't got no privilege , got nothing to feel
Your heart is gray from the news today
only your soul left in the end to pay


(p) & (c) 2025, Hostal Handshake.

This is not a drill! (new song 2025)

You And The City

Chair Room-Better future

Cast of characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, composition

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and synth

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — drums and percussion

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- clavinet, VST saxophone solo, VST horns, effects, production editing

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster HHS electric guitar

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song began back at the beginning of the summer, when Josh was messing around on his electric piano and found a structure to which to add his bass. As soon as he opened the project to the rest of Eclectic Collective, JJ jumped right in, adding his thrilling organ and ethereal background synth. Thus, Josh dropped his original e. piano part in favor of JJ's new parts. 

Ken was next up, adding the drums in reverse order from how he and Josh usually do it. Ken is very skilled at being able to add drums to a pre-existing bass line, which he displays in here. He also added the clever auxilary percussion you hear throughout. Mark was next to the trough, adding his funky clavinet, as well as his sax solo you hear lighting it up in there. He also added some well composed horns toward the end, not to be confused with JJ's synth. 

  Then it was time for the guitarists to do their thing. Stephen added the strong, melodic solos in the first two breaks with his guitar and wah pedal. After Tez added his thrilling solos at the end, Stephen went back in and added the funky rhythm guitar part. Tez also added the funky guitar riffs throughout the verses.

  All that was left was to get Carl in on the action, as he is the newest core member of Eclectic Collective. He wrote a poem and sung it in his signature, wild style for us.

  This is Eclectic Collective at its almost full strength, pulling six musicians from two different continents and four different countries together to create a song. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

   On a side note, this will be Eclectic Collective's last song for two weeks. As most of you know, we release a song every Thursday at midnight. Due to vacation and travel at the end of summer, we'll be skipping  next Friday, the 15th, but should be returning the following Friday, the 22nd. We may also put something out this coming Tuesday, the 12th, so please stay tuned. Can't thank enough those of you who tune in regularly and support us every week. 
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

The Get Down - Lyrics

Hey Human
It's official
The get down on fire funk
Future sizzle
All members agree
Gotta collect that love
Then give it back and well, we see
Fuel for that musical party

Initition ceremony
Transcontinental spanking machine
Uh oh it's a musical tri sexual
Try anything that melody mentioning
Do it for the song
We gonna right some wrong
Rolling rhythm unkown
The human touch
The get down

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo

Aw man, I'm feeling back tingle
Lads, go tell Fiona Apple I'm single
Llanspych, nudge PJ Harvey
Jamming that genius soul new wave!

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo

Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
Flying musical J's
Aw man it's Mike like dunk
Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
To musical 24
You get a song
Drained 81 now on this floor

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music, keep that campfire warm
The get down
Love legends loud
Rest in peace good Kobe one
This one's for you
Good G.O.A.T of stun!

The Eclectic Collective   - The Get Down

method: all the sounds you hear, apart from the voice, stem from a piano that is more than moderately out of tune, most of them morphed by audacity and samplitude

wunderbar geborgen / copyright jo richter

am wunderstumpfen ende
einer zweispur-einbahnstraße
senkt sich eines planers wendeplatte
zwischen steile bordsteingrate
in deren runden schenkels wölbung
die allerletzte eiderente ein
einzelei ausbrütet - solch memento
prospektiver nostalgie lädt
karrussellgenau zum grübelkreisen
ein, zum rasend innehalten

wunderbar geborgen
