Upper Rooms - Epitaph 1

From the No Mates folder of files for fun.... I used 11 of them of which the Music box set me off. So I used it as the end points. I stuck some of my guitar in on 3 tracks. There was so much to choose from. Sweet dreams.....

Thanks to all who contributed.

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 (The Eclectic Collective)

Sometimes I feel it all slipping away
My hopes and dreams for a better day
Then I flip on the TV and my mind grows dim
I sit on the couch with a silly grin

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

I tell myself that I still have time
To find a place in the world that I can call mine
Then I open the fridge and grab another beer
I tell myself those plans can wait till next year

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

You tell people that things need to change
And they look at you like you’re kind of strange
They say why can’t you accept things just the way they are
They say the world has always been this way
As if that makes it all okay
To sit around and do nothing while it all falls apart

Sometimes I walk off the beaten path
But my comfort zone keeps calling me back
Saying there’s too much competition
The odds are against you
Youre not goanna make it no matter what you do

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

Tenuous Time

I'm primarily a guitar player but I'll try to make music with anything you throw at me. When left to my own devices I enjoy recording minimalist ambient pieces and textural soundscapes. My principal sound source for these efforts is manipulated guitar but I often include electronics and organic sources. I enjoy working on collaborations with other musicians. Please contact me if you are interested.
