Turn on the radio
Expecting to hear your voice
Wait a minute, there’s no sound
Make another station choice

Look at myself in the mirror
Paintbrush seems unnatural
Give me my old faithful Fender

Next thing I hear is a favorite
Heard it so many times
Almost don’t like it anymore
Can’t take this again

I love that old familiar sound
Like your voice when I need a reset
Quell that whistling in my head

Look at myself 
Paintbrush seems unnatural
Give me my old faithful Fender

Quell that whistling in my head

 My best option might be 
Take a little friendship break
Find a book or canvas
Occupy my head for a while

I love that old familiar sound
Like your voice when I need a reset
Quell that whistling in my head

Look at myself in the mirror
Paintbrush seems unnatural
Give me my old faithful Fender

Quell that whistling in my head


Paintbrush Seems Unnatural

Uprising

I loved my mother's name who died in 1992. Also, I love the oceans green blue colors!

Anyone who commits a crime must reckon with the punishment, as breaking the law carries consequences – both legal and moral. The penalty not only serves as a form of retribution for the harm done, but also has a deterrent, educational, and corrective function – reminding us that an individual's freedom ends where the harm to another person begins.  ✌️  Każdy, kto popełnia przestępstwo, musi się liczyć z karą, ponieważ złamanie prawa pociąga za sobą konsekwencje – zarówno prawne, jak i moralne. Kara nie tylko stanowi formę odpłaty za wyrządzoną krzywdę, ale również pełni funkcję odstraszającą, wychowawczą i naprawczą – przypominając, że wolność jednostki kończy się tam, gdzie zaczyna się krzywda drugiego człowieka.  ✌️  Todo aquel que comete un delito debe contar con una pena, ya que romper la ley conlleva consecuencias, tanto legales como morales. La pena no solo es una forma de retribución por el daño causado, sino que también cumple una función disuasoria, educativa y reparadora, recordando que la libertad del individuo termina donde comienza el daño a otra persona.

Punishment


Cast of characters:

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster electric guitar, mix, production, and composition

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – synthesizer, vocals, and lyrics

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

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

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson cutom T electric guitar, sometimes with an ebow

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

This song began as an idea Tez came up with on his guitar while on holiday not far from his home in Wales. It had such a solid form, it inspired Mark to write lyrics and come up with vocal melodies within a few days of hearing it for the first time. The two of them have written several songs like this, making them a solid songwriting source for Eclectic Collective. 

  Once the song had a even more solid form, Ken took added his dynamic, bouncy-groove drums to it. As soon as Ken had the drums down, Josh took his turn, adding the fretless bass and solidifying the groove. Now that the basic framework was done, Stephen added his thrilling electric guitar. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added his dancing organ and the really cool, psych synth lead part in the bridge towards the end. Mark also added some awesome backing synth to it, as well, filling out the sound. At the very end of the process, Tez also dropped in the hot intro and outro solos, as well.

  Once we had it all in the can, it was time to turn it over to Tez for his expert production and mix. He came up with the idea of adding reverb to the drums, as well as some other compression tricks, which he employed with subtle style. 

   This, as mentioned, is a great example of what Eclectic Collective can do in house with the composition and songwriting skills of Tez and Mark. The rest of us really had fun working on this one, too, of course. We hope you enjoy listenig to this as much as we enjoyed making it.


Original lyrics by mistermark:

There’s something I’m seeking that I’ve never found
but the seed that you planted went deep in the ground 
there’s a journey that I’m on and the path is uncertain 
the magic fades when you pull back the curtain 

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow 

There will never come a time when I do you harm
cause my soul is steady when I’m in your arms
and never have I heard music like your Voice 
when you call me to you I have no choice

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow 

Like a puzzle on the table all the pieces fit
like I’m standing in the dark and a match is lit 
and what it all means man I just don’t know
but it’s a powerful feeling and it’s starting to grow

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow 


Wherever U Go - Eclectic Collective

TITLE: NOT-SO_GOLDEN CAGE
____________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
Her smile is a mirror I cracked long ago
Her eyes are the glass where the shadows grow
She whispers my name, but it cuts like a knife
A golden cage
But it’s still my life

(Chorus)
I stay
I stay
For the little heart I made
I pay
I pay
Every debt with my own shade
The cost is high but the fear’s too wide
So, I stay
I stay
To keep her safe inside

(Verse 2)
He wears the crown of a kingdom of blame
Every day’s a new trial in his crooked game
The air is heavy, but I breathe it in
To shield her from the storm beneath his skin

(Pre-chorus)
If I leave
The walls might fall
If I stay
I’m the cushion for it all

(Chorus)
I stay
I stay
For the little heart I made
I pay
I pay
Every debt with my own shade
The cost is high, but the fear’s too wide
So, I stay
I stay
To keep her safe inside

(Bridge)
I trace the steps of a fragile thread
Her tiny hands pull me back from dread
A perfect world she may never know
But love’s a battle
And I won’t let go

Cast of characters:

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — Ovation guitar, lead vocals, lyrics, and compostion

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Chinese gong and VST cello

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – light VST Latin percussion, synth, and piano

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, chant vocals at the end

 This song is the fourth Carl has written and composed with a member of Eclectic Collective in mind. This time JJ is being honored, and we all agree that he deserves it, too. Carl is a wonderful singer, songwriter, composer, and musician, and we're all grateful that he's joined our collective. 

  Here's what Carl had to say about it. "The music for this was a personal song written to myself which I never really released as I was trying to say goodbye to my own ego in the song. From that point of view I have always seen the piece as a great bit of personal therapy for me. None of the original lyrics survived and JJ gets painted by the new words .. But I thought it would be nice to reuse the composition for this. There was no big reason for it only when I decided to start a 60bpm song for JJ on piano .. I started playing Goodbye Ego and the rest is history..."

  We tackled this song like we would any other, though. Mark was first up on this, adding his VST magic in the form of a Chinese gong, as well as the cello you hear throughout. The subject of our adulation came next, with JJ adding not only his hot, yet minimal Latin percussion and essential piano, but moody synth, as well. Ken added his spicy drums after that, and once they were down, Josh jumped in with his four string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Josh also added the vocal chant at the end.

  All that was left was for Stephen to mix it all down for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 

  As stated above, this is a continuation of our songs about us. Hope no one thinks it's arrogant. When Carl presents us with these little treasures, it's hard not to run with them, though. Always a ton of fun to make music together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.


Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Praying hands
Whatever cause
Once our greater good not lost
Bored children create their fun
We shelve French horn for this fine one
"Nice one lads" We read it all!
Vacation taken
To JJ calls
Neighbour to good Mickey Moore
Find Michigan piano pure

JJ calls
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us

Down the road city of cars
To Howell front deck
Dad and Guitars
We jam that love then tell the world
Love and service human highway knurled
Good bi-product of happiness sought
With Croatian fun to cloud we court

Terrell Terminator in Jungle
Predator for good
Keys like Mr Bungle
Faith in more like we could
He Thanks you
It's lifestyle
Built from a porch
Good collective friend
Keep lighting that torch

Some moments sealed, marked and moulded
Pure intention
Dark blindfolded
Howl from human to Howell good soul
Keyed keystone as collective role

JJ calls
Darkness falls
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
JJ calls

JJ calls
Just for us

JJ Calls - Eclectic Collective

When you have found every key and unlocked every secret—When you have embraced your darkness and allowed your light to shine, protected and pure—Then, and only then, can you become one with the universe. And when that union occurs, you will be met by rain. Not ordinary rain, but droplets of cosmic blessing—A sacred downpour from the heart of existence itself.
