The picture is my mothers dog ❤️
Update 4 October: He passed away 2 October.. Rest in peace, little friend ❤️

Lyrics:

Every time I came to visit
You danced around my feet
Made happy noises, barked a song
Lots of cuddles, lots of love

You are my friend, like a brother to me
We could talk, have long good walks
Always faithful, with trust in us
So much comfort in my mothers dog

But now you're tired, you need to rest
I know you did you're very best
I will carry you on our last walk
My little brother, my mothers dog

If I was sad, you licked my hand
could always sense and understand
Whenever something was bad or wrong
You were there, your presence so strong

Take a rest now, my brother, my friend
I'm pretty sure I'll meet you again
Then we'll take a long good walk
Lots of cuddles, lots of love

But now you're tired, you need to rest
I know you did you're very best
I will carry you on our last walk
My little brother, my mothers dog

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – Yamaha Genos 2 Synthesizer
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric giutar, production, mix, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- ovation acoustic guitar, vocals, and lyrics

This song began in Artur's jam room at his house, where he creates all of his amazing music on his Fender Jaguar, which is perfect for the surf sound, at which he's a master. He shared it with Josh, who shared it with the group.
  Before Josh could lay down a bass part to it, though, JJ came up with his elegantly moody synth and laid it down. The rhythm section, Josh and Ken, then did their usual dance, dialing it in with some back and forth. Stephen was next in line, adding a subtle duet with Artur's chords. Tez then played the ethereal lead throughout most of it. Stephen, after it was pretty much laid down, came through with the ripping wah solo towards the end.
  Once the music was all taken care of, Carl came up with some great lyrics for it, and sang them, as the newest member of the group. He also laid down an accompanying acoustic rhythm guitar part, too. After Carl did his thing, we turned it over to Stephen for a mix, which he did with his professional skill set.
  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock tunes Artur has shared with Eclectic Collective. If you dig the sound, he has plenty more great ones on his page, which are worth checking out, too. We tried to do this with a little nod to The Police, the band, not the profession. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. Thanks for listening.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Who said we're different
We got our genes and our names
One human mission
Heart fused like fission
Real collective brains

Pure pine for pure
Pleased though holds hands
Reel in one love
Filter for our sands

I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue
I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I Feel the Same as You (Eclectic Collective with Surfers Like Us)

Remix and re-invention of an earlier track from many years ago. Messier 83 (see the image), also known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, contains structures within structures. The images are stunning. This track has interlocking aspects, hence the title.

The Ferns of M83

For my friend from Shrewsbury – and for everyone who is there for others with love and strength.

The Way You Stay is a very personal song I originally wrote just for a close friend. After hearing it, he told me I should definitely release it – and so I did.

It tells about the importance of being there for each other – especially when life gets heavy.

It’s about the quiet strength of caring and the love that lies within those moments. About two people who carry each other and the closeness that grows from it.

But this song is not only for him – it’s for everyone who cares for others, quietly, steadily, and wholeheartedly.

A song about trust, friendship, and the strength that comes from staying.

Behind the music:
From the beginning I knew I wanted a choir in this song. I thought about it for a long time, wondering how it could work. In the end, I recorded more than 24 vocal tracks – all with my own voice – and processed them in such a way that the choir is made up of many little Axels.

I truly hope you enjoy listening to it.

The video for the song is available on YouTube:

The Way You Stay

He clears the table when the day is done,
he hides his worries from everyone. 
She takes his hand, and with her touch,
he feels he´s more than strong enough.

That’s the way you stay,
when the days get heavy.
That’s the way you love,
quiet but steady.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.

He keeps the light on late into the night,
she gives him reason, keeps his heart upright.
He hears her laughter, and it pulls him through,
that’s the reason she gives to do.

That’s the way you stay,
when the days get heavy.
That’s the way you love,
quiet but steady.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.

From far away I see you two,
the care, the trust, the gentle view.
It moves me more than words can say –
I hold you close, though far away.

That’s the way you stay,
when the nights turn colder.
That’s the way you love,
growing older.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.


The Way You Stay

It's a Japanese song. A song from my EP SUPERNOVA. I made this with the image of U2 playing slow tempo EDM. 95 BPM. 4m25s. The main genre is Rock. The lyrics are important for this song. I put my actual feelings into the lyrics. It's a very emotional song. Please listen carefully to the lead guitar in the last part. Link to major platforms : https://linkco.re/E2aRhZS6

Wrote You a Letter
© 2025 R3Zondo

i found your picture in a box i never touch
dusty like the words we used to trust
you left your boots and half your heart behind
now i’m drinkin’ ink and writin’ lines

wrote you a letter, sealed it with ash
conversations from the past
words we never got to say
i send ‘em through the flame today
wrote you a letter
wrote you a letter

the train rolls past like nothin’ ever changed
but time don’t wait, it just rearranged
you said goodbye with silence in your hands
but i still hear your echo in the land

wrote you a letter, tied it with string
buried it where wild birds sing
every word a haunted prayer
for a love that vanished in thin air
wrote you a letter
wrote you a letter

there ain’t no address for the could’ve been
but i still write like you’ll read it again
ink on my fingers, dust in my throat
your name in every line i wrote

wrote you a letter, sealed it with pain
let it blow like a whistle on the train
if memories come knockin’ through
maybe this time they’ll carry you
wrote you a letter
wrote you a letter

(Summary)

This song is a raw reflection on unresolved emotions and memories that linger long after someone’s gone. Inspired by a stripped
down, haunting style of vintage country, Wrote You a Letter is my way of releasing everything left unsaid, through pen and paper, through fire and dust. It’s about heartbreak, silence, and the weight of every “what if.” I didn’t send the letter. I just needed to write it.

Wrote You a Letter

Blue Skies and Black Clouds

Already Home – dark, hypnotic, and intense. Deep vocals, pulsing bass, glitchy percussion, and cinematic energy.

Blessed with fire inside
I take all the light she offers, never settle, never hide
I see skies beneath my feet, stars above my head
Guess you wish you were already gone, more left undone than said

Met a dude who claimed to know
But he couldn’t tell me where my soul will go
I spoke my mind, let my bad thoughts flow
You see I’m already home

I will ascend
Bud in my hand
Bass at my side
I’ve tried — still no release
More than a little misaligned
Falling fast, out of line

They say only fools can recognize
But I see all the signs
They say simple minds just echo fools
But I will ascend in proof

Bud in my hand
Bass at my side
I’ve tried — still no release
More than a little misaligned
Guess you’ll linger on if you ever tried

Met a dude who claimed to know
But he couldn’t tell me where my soul will go
I spoke my mind, let my bad thoughts flow
You see I’m already home

I will ascend - bud in my hand
Bass at my side - I’ve tried
Still no release — more than a little misaligned
Guess you’ll linger on if you ever tried

V1.
The key to leaving behind the past
Is to lock it up and walk away.
And if I never shut that door
I’d always be tempted to stay
But this door looks like a mirror
And this reflection’s starting to show it
It don’t take much to quit 
And I’ll be gone before you know it.

Chorus
In the junk drawer in my kitchen
There’s a ring that’s filled with keys
They unlock everything I’ve owned
And they aid in my disease
I never want to turn back time
And be the things I was before
I’d be better off if I lost every one,
Because old keys don’t open new doors.

V2.
There’s the key to my first apartment.
The one we shared before I got burned
And the keys to every car I’ve crashed
And the lessons that I learned.
The keys to my failed hopes and dreams
The ones that you begged me to start.
And then there’s the key I hate the most
The one that unlocks my great big heart.

Chorus
In the junk drawer in my kitchen
There’s a ring that’s filled with keys
They unlock everything I’ve owned
And they aid in my disease
I never want to turn back time
And be the things I was before
I’d be better off if I lost every one,
Because old keys don’t open new doors

Bridge
The key to moving forward
And the key to moving on
Are the only keys I’m taking 
‘Cos I’m packed up and gone

Chorus
In the junk drawer in my kitchen
There’s a ring that’s filled with keys
They unlock everything I’ve owned
And they aid in my disease
I never want to turn back time
And be all the things I was before
I’d be better off if I lost every one,
Because old keys don’t open new doors



Old Keys (2025)

Hi, I’m Axel.
After a longer musical hibernation, I started making music again about three years ago – and honestly, it feels amazing! I’ve been hanging around on SoundCloud for about two years now, and I’m constantly blown away by the creativity, variety, and real talent to be found here.

Music is just a hobby for me – which is exactly why I have zero ambitions to make money with it. I’m here simply because it’s fun. So, a small request: Dear annoying promoters with your shady offers – please save us both the trouble, I’m not your guy. I’m not chasing follower counts, click records, or streaming millions. Sure, I’m happy when people listen – but what I value most is connecting with a few honest musicians who feel the same way I do. Quality over quantity, you know?

One thing I do find kind of sad: there’s so much AI-generated music floating around on SoundCloud, often without being labeled. Come on, folks – if a robot wrote your track, at least give R2-D2 the credits.

I play keyboards and have already had the pleasure of creating songs together with some wonderful musicians I met right here on SoundCloud – something I’d love to keep doing. For me, collaboration and exchange are a huge part of what makes music so exciting.

Tech corner, anyone? All my tracks are produced in Cubase 13 Pro. Over time, more and more VST instruments have snuck into my setup – from Spitfire and Native Instruments to Spectrasonics and more. My go-to drum sounds usually come from Toontrack, which have become the rhythmic backbone of many of my tracks. I’ll admit it: I’ve caught a bit of a collecting bug here. Sadly, it’s eating both my wallet and my hard drive space. Will it ever stop? Probably not. 🙄

Style-wise, I love exploring different genres with no limits. For me, the goal is simple: have fun, stay inspired, and keep growing creatively. And every time I stumble upon a track here on SoundCloud that really moves me – the kind of song you’d probably never hear on the radio – it feels like discovering a hidden treasure.

I’m really glad you found my channel – and I hope my music brings you as much joy as it brings me when I create it.
