We change, we grow.. love it ! 🫶🏼🎵✨☸️

Really fantastic to hear you guys and Masa working together again - your vocals and his drums are a glorious combination, always sounds great!

Oh and I enjoyed the Shankari mix as well

Oh, that was fantastic! Great job, everyone involved!

This is a really good song too! All the sounds are great and the vocals are amazing!

The lyrics are so true.  I was just talking with my spiritual advisor yesterday about how we change 100,000s times per DAY.  Wait 5 minutes and you're already a different person.  Great vocal, great percussion by @user-288513022

This is super great, very uplifting drums and pop voice. Great collab

Check after a long time....What a nice pop! I don't think I'm involved...Lol..let's do something again soon

The Loneliest Number

Disquiet Junto  | The Loneliest Number - disquiet0591

I was a dot inside my own tapestry 
I was amused by all a those they things 
the did not see

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

I walked alone inside a my own territory 
I was a victim of my own stupidly 

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

no target on my back but
still they kicking me

while I'm down struggle to see
what's staring straight at me 
one way ticket to happy

I was inertias latest cripple casualty 
I was immune to all a their forms
and repartee

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 


Natural Rhapsody

We hope that you like this new version of "I Have Changed" with synth work by Rob Ulysses (@rob-ulysses) and Masha Solo (@masha-solo), vocals by Masha, and production and drums by Tot.  (@tot-beat / @user-288513022)

You can find the instrumental here:
https://soundcloud.com/archmageband3/i-have-changed-w-tot-on-drums-instrumental

Description from the instrumental version:

Our friend Tot. from Japan suggested we do an emotional ballad song next time we collaborated - so we decided to finish a song of ours from 2018 that had no drums and invited him to drum over it. 

He added some amazing funk energy in the beat to our unconventional chiptunesque pop ballad. Thanks so much for joining us Tot.!!

Lyrics by Rob and Masha.

Thank you for listening!

Lyrics:

Everything goes through changes
Differences and alterations
Things are different, life moves on
Truth is former times are gone
x4

I am grateful that you still believe in me
But there's something that we really should confer
Every time we talk it's tumultuous as can be
Every time we talk it's tumultuous as can be

Every time I think of you
I know inside
That between us now
There is a great divide

If you knew me even better then you'd say
That I've changed too much and I've been led astray
I have changed, I'm not the same
You'd only say that it's a shame
Things are different, life moves on
Truth is my old self is gone
I tried but I couldn't do
Everything you wanted me to
Can't go back to who I used to be

You want the idealised version of the past self me
That person isn't here, that person isn't me
If you knew me even better then you'd say
That I've changed too much and I've been led astray
x4

(I am grateful that you still believe in me)
(But there's something that we really should confer)
(Every time we talk it's tumultuous as can be)

I hope that you don't mind that
The Real Me
Is exactly what you see 
Before you today

Realm III

I Have Changed - w/ Tot. on drums

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell – drums, bass, organ, triangle, and composition

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– mix, mastering, and production

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–PRS semi hollow body electric guitar

This song began with JJ on a late Saturday night, coming up with it on the drums, bass, and organ. He even added some real triange, if you listen for it, you'll be delighted. He had a killer jazz groove on his mind when he composed it, and was able to really bring it to life on all levels. He originally wrote it as a solo piece, but asked Josh if he would like to add a guitar part. Josh jumped at the opportunity to play an original jazz song on his guitar, and in a few days, recorded more than 20 takes of it. He finally landed on the one you hear in here now. 

  They asked Stephen to mix, master, and produce it for them, which he did in his typically professional way.

  This was a fun, exciting collaboration, featuring just JJ and Josh, but the rest of the Eclectic Collective will be back with them next time. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Losing the  Paparazzi (Eclectic Collective)

Within each of us, a universe of potential resides, waiting to be explored. 
It's a unique blend of passions, talents, and dreams, just waiting for the chance to shine.

You are a masterpiece, a work of art, crafted with love and care. 
Every stroke, every curve, every color, makes you who you are. 
You are one-of-a-kind, a beautiful and extraordinary being.

It’s time to embrace your individuality. 
Let go of the fear of being different and embrace the power of being yourself. 
Your uniqueness is your superpower. 
It sets you apart, makes you special, and allows you to make a significant impact on the world.

So, let your light shine brightly. 
Chase your dreams, follow your heart, and never give up on yourself. 
The world is waiting for you to unleash your full potential. 
You are capable of amazing things!

Believe in yourself, and watch as your dreams become reality.

Made for the Jamuary challenge (jamming lots in January).

We finished a song from 2018 for this entry. It will be up Bandcamp at the end of the month, when we have enough to make it into a proper compilation and when it has more polish done to mixing/mastering.

Synth work by Masha (@masha-solo) and Rob Ulysses (@rob-ulysses) using a combination of the Roland Gaia SH-01, the app called Figure, and Garageband for iOS.

Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, 2025 that's creative/productive (when you want it to be) otherwise I hope your time is fun & relaxing! Much love from Archmage Band.
