J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano, synth, composition, vocals, and lyrics

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass and lap slide

  This song began its life as a composition that JJ wrote one evening on the piano and synth. He also wrote the lyrics and sings this one. He was very excited to share it with us, so he invited Josh, Ken, Stephen and Tez into the project immediately after finishing. However, we couldn't make the thing work at first, so JJ went back and retooled it, streamlined it, and gave it back to us. We all really liked the Floydiness of the groove, and his signature psychedelic coda ending. 
  After Ken had laid down his inspired, foundational  drums, Josh laid down his bass part with his big monster five-string bass, which is good for really low tones. Then it was Tez's turn. He came up with something very Gilmore-esque, with his always exciting leads throughout the first section. Stephen then added some brilliant, filling acoustic guitar to the first section. He, along with Tez, also added some trippy electric guitar to the coda. Finally, Josh just thought it needed something to push the coda over the edge, so he added the slide at the end, too.
  Then, of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his always expert way. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Also, we wish a very happy holidays to everyone! 
JJ's lyrics:
PUSHED AND PULLED AND SWUNG THE CLEAVER
MY TIME IT RAN AWAY.

FOOLISH HEART AND SOME DECEIVIN’
DIE TRYIN’ TO STAY AFRAID

DESERT CHILL IS WHERE IM SLEEPIN’
HARD NIGHT TURNED INTO DAYS

BETTER GO AND FEED THIS FEVER
TWICE BLINDED BY THIS FAITH



SHOULD’VE KNOWN WHILST IN THE SEASON
BEHIND BLIND BRAVEITY

TRUTH COMES HOME TO ROOST THE RAVEN
FIVE STEINS MADE OF JADE

TREASURED HILL THE SUNS RETREATIN’
CARD PLAYED YOUR HANDS AN ACE

LET IT GO THIS BIRD IS DREAMIN’
DICE LANDED AT THE TRAIN



COULD’VE SHOWN MY HEART’S REATREATIN’
BLIND SIDED BY THE SEA

PLEASURED TONE OF THE BALLADEER
FIND A HIGH AND LONELEY PLACE

SEED IS SOWN THIS HEART’S STILL BEATIN’
FIVE LIONS IN THE DEN

GETTIN’ COLD THE BEAST IS LEAVING
SOUTH BOUND IT ALL THE WAY

Red Sun - (Eclectic Collective)

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark--sax (VST), organ, tremolo guitar chords (synth), harmonica, composition, production, mix
Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and primary vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– second electric guitar solo, and mastering
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, first electric guitar solo, rhythm guitar comping 

This is a song started when Mark came up with its architecture, recorded in a  slower, more laid back version on his own. However, he wanted a more souped up version with solos in turns. 

So, he turned to The Eclectic Collective to fill in the pieces. He originally had solos in all the parts which he laid down on the keys, and he had some lyrics, too. However, once he heard The Mysterious Decibel's excellent lyrics and vocals, the song totally changed the direction and the vibe, for the stellar. 

But MD didn't start the whole thing. As happens sometimes, even without Tez on this one, we still needed to clear out some space to let everyone have their say. So, Mark went in and lengthened the song mechanically. Once we had a final form, Ken, as always, came up with the foundation for the song, allowing Josh to add his version of Mark's bass line. 

Then, after MD gave us the vocals to form the song, we got down to adding the solos. JJ first added his thrilling opening piano solo, as well as the electric piano solo right after the first verse, which Mark is also playing a VST sax solo in, as well. Then Josh added his guitar solo, which is the first of the two, with a very clean tone. Right after that, Stephen added his fiery solo, which follows right after with a more overdriven tone. Finally, Mark stepped back in and added his killer harp solo at the end. Of course, it needed to be mixed well, too, so we turned to Stephen for that important role, once again, which he fulfilled expertly.  
 

This past Tuesday, we released a fun little series of interviews over a compilation of some of our favorite musical moments. If you want to hear our voices and some of our thoughts about music, check it out. I realize it's a big ask at twenty minutes, but you might really enjoy it, especially if you follow us, and have been for a while. It's a celebration of all of our work over the past almost year together in various forms. This song was supposed to be a showcase of all of our skills, except Tez isn't in on this one. He'll be on the next one, though, for sure.
  We hope you enjoy this jazzier side of the EC as much as we enjoyed making it. MD's lyrics are about a psycho killer artist who hides clues about his murders in his paintings. 
Original Lyrics by The Mysterious Decibel:

Some might say he's crafty and planned.
With a shade of black and a brush in his hand
Some might say the world is his oyster
But no Pearl lays inside just a conjuring blur

He'll paint you a murderous scene
With the blending of  sin all between pigments of green
He's a shady fella Who hides behind the canvas!
I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

Will you find it?
The secret
Some freak shit
are you so sure you'll really wanna Keep it ?
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
Ahhh a little secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
It'll haunt your mind like it does him too
He's a swifty one he'll come for you!
The secret
The secret
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?

I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

His art might show
might show
might show
just where he died

But you wanna joke now 
With your head in the clouds
And you wanna 
Reach for me reach for me reach for me reach for me
No I gotta get away from this fucking nightmare

Run for it run for it run for it run for it

Everything

Everything is on you
Everything 
Everything
Everything is on you

Get you
Get you
They're gonna get you

Everything Is on you

LAZY FLOW -  Feat, Al Wood Blues Guitar

Empty Streets

RAMBLIN by LucyScrew

This song I wrote in 2022 during the pandemic and it's about how little time we have on this earth, we're gone at a drop of a hat. I made the middle 8 into a waltz to show a time shift of about 200 years, how we were then and how we are now. I gave the verses a prog feel, like YES a little, and I had a time clock ticking away in the background. Everything can't be a love ballad or a Wildcat Bounce, you know! I also produced a video that's really cool, it will be on YouTube next month or so. https://youtu.be/o2BNNb7EgQU
So get out and play people now before it's too late! Cheers!🍻

“SO LITTLE TIME”

OUT OF THE BLUE, SUDDENLY YOU ARE BORN,
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, YOU'RE WITHERED, TATTERED, AND TORN,
IT ALL GOES BY SO QUICKLY,  
LIFE JUST PASSES YOU BY,             
ONE DAY YOU'RE YOUTHFUL AND STRONG, 
THE NEXT DAY YOU DIE, BYE-BYE, BABY, BYE-BYE,

JUST YESTERDAY, ALL WAS SHINY AND NEW,
WITH A FLICK OF THE WRIST, IT'S NOW TAKEN FROM YOU,
PLEASE TELL ME THE REASON? 
TELL ME WHAT WAS MY CRIME?
TO BE BORN IN A WORLD WITH SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME,

A DANCE IN THE MOONLIGHT,
WHERE LOVERS ARE FOUND,
TYING THE KNOT, SETTLING DOWN,  
FROM YOUR WIFE'S WARM EMBRACE,
INTO THE COLD GROUND,
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE ALL BOUND,
(CAN YOU DIG IT?)
     
NOT LONG AGO, A KID KICKING THE CAN,
AT A DROP OF A HAT, NOW A WORN-OUT OLD MAN,  
IT WAS GONE IN AN INSTANT,
SOMEHOW LESS SUBLIME,
SO MUCH LEFT TO DO WITH SO LITTLE TIME, 
SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME,
THERE'S SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME,
THERE'S SO LITTLE TIME.

This time, our duo invites you to face the illusion that prevents us from living our real lives to the fullest. We create an illusion and can't escape it. It could be some kind of addiction or toxic love. Whatever. We are in a maze and can't see the way out. Maybe it's time to break these shackles of illusion. Maybe the way out is in our mind. That's more or less what our piece is about! Enjoy listening to it 🌔
