great work bro like all your special production🤝⭐🙇‍♂️💥✅💥✅💥✅well done🦋🍒🦋

I love this. it's pure rock n roll! Some bluesy guitar and a voice telling a story

I like this, which reminded me of this dude I hung out with at college, who did a name tribute mural to all the greats who died young. He started on the 4th floor of the dorm and it went to the ground floor. They painted over it. I don't know how I survived this long. Thanks for getting me to think about this.

Never did drugs but was glad they did.  Hate to see ‘em die young but really hate to see ‘em thinking they still got it in their 70’s. Great writing man….no bells small stage acoustic delivery is perfect.

Dedicated most especially to L.K.A.--our new little grandson so freshly arrived from the face of God.

Oh, that all children were loved.

Thank you, dear Oddrun, for the color and depth of meaning you bring to my music.  
Thank you, Arne, for your help and encouragement.

Let Nature Embrace you.

Wrapped in red, orange and blue
The little baby in mothers arms
Tiny white jasmin growing in her garden
Mother Nature dressed in spring
From magic skies of mint
Every color spins new
In future clear as aquablue

Let Nature Embrace you
Gently
So gently

Life`s colors flow from gold to umber
In crocuses, Petunias
In Asters and in Pansies
A thousand shades of reds
In yellows and in brown
From Magic skies of mint
Every color spins new
In future clear as aquablue




May Nature Embrace you
Gently
So gently

Gently: Oddrun Eikli and Debra Buesking

another song idea from the past about 7Os rock stars....
a cautionary tale to watch the wine and the whites and the chicken cacciatore ....


Roll Daddy Roll

He's willin’ and wild 
A music smorgasbord 
Kind of like a 1972 Lowell George
Smoking gun
Flame for hire
7 years to glow
Giddy up and get down 
Roll Daddy Roll

Daydream  running
Always riffin’ at the ready
Kind of like a 1978 Tom Petty
Guitar shake
Build that pyre
39 years to glow
Giddy up and get down 
Roll Daddy Roll

Roll, roll break your mama's heart 
Boat be sailing, how to finish what we start
Roll, roll till it falls apart tonight, tonight

Once Cleveland rocked
Now the sound has gotten softer
Lester wrote a eulogy for Mr. Peter Laughner
Ain’t It Fun
To die young
In 5 more years Bangs' bell would toll
Giddy up and get down
Roll Daddy Roll

Roll, roll break your mama's heart 
Boat be sailing, how to finish what we start
Roll, roll till it falls apart tonight, tonight

May your days be filled 
With power chords and glory
Watch the wine and the whites
And the chicken cacciatore
And don't be fooled by innocence 
She will take your head you know
Giddy up and get down
Roll Daddy Roll
Don't be fooled by innocence 
She will take your head you know 
Giddy up and get down roll Daddy roll

This song began with Steve, who wrote it on his guitar and sang 
it, before sharing it with Eclectic Collective about half year ago, 
back in the fall. Always grateful to Steve for sharing his amazing music with us, we kept it alive even though it had stalled out on us for whatever reason. 

  We had a decent skeleton from our original go at it, but decided to scrap it, and start fresh. Ken, being the one who actually revived it, added his solid drums first, providing for a groovy foundation. Tez came next, surprisingly, adding his hooky guitar fills throughout. Mark hopped on shortly after, adding the organ you hear coming in around the 2:00 mark. Josh took his turn after that, even though it was only a couple of days between, by adding his fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. He also, in the same recording session, added the electric piano you hear throughout. 
  
Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to mix it for us, in his 
always professional manner. 
  
We all love working on Steve's songs, and admire him as a 
musician, singer, and songwriter. This makes almost a half dozen songs on which the EC has collaborated with Steve, and we're sure to add many more. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Steve's Planet:

Please Come Home - (Eclectic Collective w/ Steve Vervaet)

An upbeat track about a relationship going downhill…

Great Apes

I’m looking down the avenue wondering how to make my escape
And if we really merit our status among the great apes

I was driving at a hundred miles an hour till you stepped on the brakes
You know there’s islands in the lakes on the islands in the Great Lakes

You said you get out of life what you put in
I said well, you should, but that’s the thing
We’ve all got our battles, we’ve all got our cares
I once knew a tortoise who dreamed of a world without stairs
Your jokes don’t cover all your demands
You’re a taxman’s letter printed in Comic Sans
 
Every raindrop on the window’s a fisheye lens that turns the world upside down
And all I hear is your silence when I walk through the crowds in town
 

I got a reputation as an underachiever
The trouble with self-deprecation is some people believe you
I know I got some things wrong back when we were rooming
Hello Action Man, meet Consequence Woman

There’s a vanishing point on the road to hell that leads the eye far into the fire
There’s a missing rung on Jacob’s ladder that stops the likes of me getting higher

Thinking about the time when you wrote me a sonnet
Now I hear your dartboard’s got my face on it
And I’m looking down the metal stairs wondering how the fire escapes
And if we really merit our status among the great apes
If we really, really merit our status among the great apes

Great Apes

After "Call On Me" another Demotrack in our series of "Lovesongs".. stay tuned.. there is more to come. 🎧
"I will be there" is one of my favorites. Hubert once again put all his vocal intensity and his skillful playing in this song. I am proud he achieved exactly the atmosphere I was hoping for. A tune full of confidence and desire when one suffers from drifting spiritually into darkness and there is someone to hold on to and  someone who is able to lift you up again.

Hubert Stytz:  music, all vocals
Pee Gee       :  lyrics

I will be there

THE POWER OF NATURE part 2

There’s a treasure down deep in this garbage can
To find it, plug your nose, feel the dirt on your hands
Just remember that they never really understand 
Your personal Rosetta Stone
