lyrics: Scotty & Gems

Baby, paint your nails green today,
naked on the couch as I play with my lady.
As the sun shines through the curtains delicately. 
And the birdsongs that surround us match my melody. 

Greeeeen naaails.
And soooo free.
Come back one day and make me feel this way.
One day.

Composition – The Eclectic Collective


This song started as a guitar skeleton that had been a twinkle in Tez's eye several years ago. He'd been hanging on to it in hopes of finding a suitable home for it. When he introduced it to the Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it. First up was Ken, laying in his dynamic, powerful drums and percussion. Then Stephen laid down some fiery fills as well as a solid comp part on his guitar. That's about the time Mark started messing with it. He added some great VST fiddle, some real mouth harp, and piano and began working on the lyrics and vocal melody. I was atypically late to the party, but managed to get my bass in there, too, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ was next up with his splendid organ and synth to fill in the sound. 

  By this time, Mark had written and recorded some absolutely stunning vocals, which he added to the mix. We all decided that it had a Rod Stewart/Faces vibe to it, so we tried to amplify that flavor. To this end, I dropped in a mandolin part, as well.

  At this point, the song was kind of flat, though, in terms of overall dynamics, so the decision was made to amp up the crescendo at the end. Ken summoned his best Keith Moon energy, and Tez laid down a killer solo, while Stephen added the big Townsend chords. 

  Mark had been editing and mixing the whole time, and did such an excellent job with it, we decided to go with his mix from the group project. Stephen did master it masterfully before we put it out here, too, though.

  We're really proud of this song and hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Please remember to "share" it if you dig it. Thanks for listening!


Original lyrics by Mistermark:


Never was one for being sociable

but lordy knows how I tried 

every time I tried to talk to a girl 

she would always run away and hide


Nobody told me 

nobody cared

nobody told me 

the girl was scared


Back at the party you asked me to dance 

but I didn’t know what to do 

my two left feet had me runnin’ round in circles 

so I always came back to you 


Been so long since somebody held me 

made me feel i’m gonna win

but drinkin' that jug o’ juice gonna help me 

when I’m takin' it on the chin 


Nobody told me 

nobody cared

nobody told me 

they never dared


another party you ask me to dance 

and I don’t know what to do

my two left feet got me runnin’ round in circles 

and I'm still coming back to you...








Nobody Told Me (Eclectic Collective)

"There is initiative required to pursue a relationship with a woman or a musical instrument; how often they are alike in their demands ... Ultimately, we are destined for forced labor where no thinking is required" (words of David Dunham, taken by his comment here below). Is artistic imagination destined to disappear, and will humanity indulge in total creative laziness (in music, art, literature), delegating to artificial intelligence the fulfilment of needs that have contributed to human progress? 

Lyrics: Mick Hansan
Music: AI

When I started going to school
I wondered why it was necessary to waste my time
days locked in a classroom listening to
of history mathematics physics, it was a crime

Then I finally got my high school diploma
I got the most with the least effort
I cheated the teachers with great serenity
luckily I wasn't forced to enrol at university

Of course, it was time to work
I didn't know how to do anything.
I worked at McDonald's, at Amazon, at Burger King
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
never having anything to will

I got married to a good woman
all house, church, shopping, baloney
Being from a good family
there was no shortage of money

We didn't have children, I didn't want them
It would have been too much work to bring them up
Besides, she chose in her spare time finally
working for free as a baby sitter in other families

I kept on doing my daily job
I didn't know how to do anything.
I worked at McDonald's, at Amazon, at Burger King
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
never having anything to will

One day my wife asked me for a divorce
I'm sure she didn't have another man
All she said to me was: ‘I'm not your watchman
and it's time to take an holiday from you.
A very long holiday: until I die, or you’

Deep down I didn't even mind
it was better to have an empty house
where I could safely indulge in idleness
without anyone pointing it out to me
renouncing any form of activeness

On the other hand I kept working
even though I didn't know how to do anything.
I worked at McDonald's, at Amazon, at Burger King
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
never having anything to will

One day I thought: why not learn to play the piano?
It takes time and effort, maybe is better the ping pong
The guitar? And to do what, 
sing a Frank Sinatra's old and awful song?

But a night while yawning I'm surfing the net
I read about these new programmes, I read about AI
they say that this is quite a little something
without be a hard set
what a beautiful perspective, so eye-catching!
you could write songs 
without even knowing how to do it
make everyone listen to all them 
while you sit in your armchair

That was it, now I ride the wave
I signed up on different platforms
I don't have to use my name
I'm me but I'm not me

I produce several songs a day
have thousands of followers 
they are the flies, 
and I am the spider

I can't play anything
I can't sing
I have not to write what I think
but I became a successful songwriter

they are the flies, and I am the spider
I can't play anything
I can't sing
I have not to write what I think
but I'm a successful songwriter
they are the flies, and I am the spider

And if my wife had not already 
asked for and obtained the divorce
I would have done it by now

Moments Remembered

Music : Janne Hennie & Little Man Project
Vocals & lyrics : Janne Hennie

If you are having a bad day
Nothing goes your way
All you see is completely grey
Its in you
Don't blame me

You can make your own day great
Just think how, instead of who
Your own mood
Your own voice
Creates the sound that comes from you..

Babarababara...

You can make your own day great
Just think how instead of who
Your own mood
Your own voice
Creates the sound that comes from you..

If you bump into people you don't want to see
You can take another way
Its your choice
Don't blame me

You can make your own day great
Just think how instead of who
Your own mood
Your own voice
Creates the sound that comes from you..

Babarababara

If you feel invisible
Nobody hears you
Do something about it
Use your voice
Don't blame me

Don't Blame Me

Very nice Stuff  and big thanks for your great Playing

A gentle wake up call for those of us who like to snuggle under the sheets for a few extra minutes before greeting the day!
