Your Mix 9

https://youtu.be/pka8m0L_eko

Thought I'd sneak in a little track before the year is out. I have not been very active on Soundcloud this year, will endeavour to start writing again in the new year, and listen to all the talent that is out there! 

Happy hols

(a.k.a. burn-it-smith)

p.s. Such rhythm in these lyrics, something I have always admired about this artist.

You Never Can Tell (Cover)

Poésie et musique.


Extraits:

la pluie bat contre mon visage
Laissant mon souffle dire c'est comme ça quand j'ai mal
Mes oreilles restent sourdes et coupent court à tout
Un râle dans ma gorge prêt à rugir m'étouffe

Je me sens laide et sale de la boue qu'on m'a laissée
Ce qu'il y a de charmant en l'homme s'est évaporé
Coup d'épée à mon âme j'engrange les plaies
Patience comme toujours je me relèverai

Je suis faite d'une étoffe tissée bien trop vite
La nuit je tente de défaire le tissu maudit
Que nul ne puisse plus s'insinuer ainsi
Et plus je resserre les mailles 
moins la pluie me saisit

Un Temps (Kevin Chaulier / La Gazelle)

In the wake of this US election, for those who choose a way of love and understanding, the path forward now can seem bleak and scary. But we are reminded, for those who believe in the resurrection, that Christ has already conquered this world. So we are to have peace in our hearts, no matter what. No matter what corrupt politicians try to say or do, we will band together in unity of love and peace for all people, and together, we will combat the dark forces of mammon and evil present in this age. God be will us all. May hope and humility shine through for us in this hour and always. 

Humility & Hope

Night Letters - A collection of ‘audio interpretations’ of telegrams from the early 1900s. Each track is based on a portion of a real transmitted message.

Historically, telegrams were sent between a network of interconnected telegraph offices. A person visiting a local telegraph office would have their message telegraphed by morse code to another office, translated, and then delivered on a paper form. As with any form of communication, the messages could be routine, melancholy, joyous, or devastating.

The need to keep these messages short, and then reading them many decades later, provides plenty of room for imagination.

(Scans of actual telegrams were viewed at the Internet Archive)

Silent Preach

& with the participation of Gommearababic for the choirs !
Chanson d'amour pour une fille
Ton coeur est tout lié et cassé
la nuit tombe
étoiles filantes
Chanson d'amour pour une fille
Si je savais pourquoi
Si je savais pourquoi
les étoiles sont seulement à 1,6km
mais juste une étincelle
juste s'enflammer quand la nuit est sombre
quand la lumière est
oh alors oh

un tunnel de lumière me suit sur cette route
est-ce que je me suis retournée
est-ce que je me suis retournée
pour que tu puisses me faire face
pendant que je pleure !

Cast of characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), VST steel drums, vocals, lyrics, composition, production, mix     
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass

This song began with Mark, who fleshed out the entire thing, from the rhythm section, to the organ that you hear in there, to the lyrics and vocals, before he laid it on the rest of us. We all got a chuckle from the tongue in cheek humor of the lyrics, and were excited to work on a song about an anachronistic adventure of a soulful caveman. 
  Ken was first up with his version of the the beat, finding the soul in the rhythm. Josh was next up, of course, using his "normie" bass for the his version of the line. Once the rhythm section was in place, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, soulful e. piano to the mix. 
  Now that they had a solid foundation on which to play, Stephen and Tez added their guitar magic to the mix. Stephen with the rhythm and the fills, and Tez with the ripping solo at the end. Mark also added the festive VST steel drums that you hear throughout at this point, too. Now that the music was laid down, he perfected his awesome vocals to complete it.
  It was in the can at that point, and just needed Mark to throw a pro sounding mix on it. Then, Stephen mastered it in his always expert way to finish it off.
  Mark wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song (a la Al Green), which he did, all on his own. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song, both of which you can find on Mark's page. Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions. 
  This was a real team effort, even though it's really Mark's baby. The Eclectic Collective has many different methods of creating music. This one was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by mistermark:

Walking through this concrete jungle
I’m just trying to stay out of the way 
just me and ol’ Rex, my furry companion 
we been fielding funky looks all day
then somebody saw me kicking rocks with my bare toes
he said buddy have you lost your way?
then I sat right down and I started to cry
and this is what I had to say…

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say 

Sittin’ in my man cave watching the clock crawl
there's nothing good on my tv 
my big grubby hands can’t flip thru the channels
i cant even hold a cup of tea
I was chatting on the phone making plans with a lady
a little bit of company
but my date split QUICK when I opened the door
man I wonder what’s wrong with me

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break now
the ladies say I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

The big city’s fine but something’s on my mind
I feel a little incomplete
I miss my old club, for rustling up some grub
and the touch of grass below my feet
I’ve been around longer than all your creation, 
like the rocks and trees and streams
I wanna get back home, where forever I’ll roam
even if it’s only in my dreams

I’m a caveman
I can’t catch a break 
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

I’m a caveman, 
must be come kinda mistake
everybody says I’m so passé 
well I’m a - a caveman
It’s too much to take
but I’m gunna get back some day

Caveman - The Eclectic Collective

A song that was particularly close to my heart to remix and especially to sing...So I tried to put my voice on this title that I love so much....And it is with immense joy that musical accomplice for almost 10 years....accompanied me on the piano.

A throwaway song I wrote in April of 2023. The audio quality isn't great because I recorded it on my phone. I tried to sing a little like Neil Young in this.

Lyrics:

and I think to when I was young
and the grass was a little more green
and all the stars aligned

and now I think to when I am numb
and I just see meat on the screen
and everything is a grind

but I try
but I try
but I try
but I try

try a little more each day
but I'm out of lives
game over
can you spare a 1up?

now breaching my weird age
and the sun burns a little more bright
I'm asking to lend an ear

so hear about my strife
i'm struggling to see the light
and where do I go from here?

oh I try
but I try
but I try
but I try

a little more each day
but I'm out of lives
game over
can you spare a pick me up?

Can You Spare A 1up? (Demo)

Well folks, it's that time of year again. It's time for the Eclectic Collective to take stock of the fruits of the year previous, and reflect on what making music together means to all of us. We hope you all take a chunk of time and indulge in our gift to you. We wanted to address every one of our SoundCloud friends with our voices as an intimate way to connect with each of you.
  This has become a tradition within the EC now that we've made it to our second (and a half) year of making music together. For the second time, JJ asked our friend and sometimes collaborator Jeff (Stonerjazz) to ask some interview questions of us. Then, we all came up with the answers and sent them to JJ to assemble the project.
  This mighty music machine we've created, that manages to release a new song every Friday, wouldn't mean anything if no one was listening to us. Which is why we want to extend our very sincere thanks to you for tuning in and supporting our efforts. If one other person gets joy from our music, that's such a huge accomplishment. However, it really feels like a bunch of people whom we really respect are digging what we're doing, which feels truly humbling and fulfilling. 
  With that, we hope you enjoy hearing us voice our thoughts over the highlights of our musical year as much as we enjoyed a year rich in music and comradery. Happy New Year!
