Cast of characters:
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster electric guitar, mix, production, and composition

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 – 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 really cool psych synth part in the two bridges. 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)

[Verse 1]
Well my head is off to war again
My heart's fucked off down the drain
My stomach's sitting on the fence
My ears are falling deaf, again
But there's a symphony of senses
You can smell the rot
My skin is on the edges
While my lungs sit there and watch

[Chorus]
Who do you need me to be?
What do you need me to say?
All these voices in my head
They're never gonna go away
And to be honest I'm pretty lonely
so I'll invite them to stay
my brain fell down the drain again
but I promise I'm okay

[Verse 2]
Well my heart is gone for good this time
This organ is an ugly thing
I can only hear a distant chime
don't wanna hear the lovebirds sing
So I’ll take my head for a walk
My friend
I'll even let you lead the way
I'll follow you to the bitter end
If you tell me there's another way 
That there's a way to fix the state I'm in
It's probably all just pretend
but i lost my head down the drain again
And I’m starting to notice a trend

[Chorus]
Who do you need me to be?
What do you need me to say?
All these voices in my head
They're never gonna go away
And to be honest I'm pretty lonely
so I'll invite them to stay
my brain fell down the drain again
but I promise I'm okay

[Bridge]
We can feel it coming on like a landslide
The slippery edge
And the in-between
I don't wanna be the bad guy
But you don't know the things we've seen

[Final Chorus]
Who do you need me to be?
What do you need me to say?
All these voices in my head
They're never gonna go away
And to be honest I'm pretty lonely
so I'll invite them to stay
my brain fell down the drain again
but I promise I'll be okay
