This song began when Carl, who is always making connections on the Cloud, was inspired to write a song about our bandmate, Mark. As you can tell from his lyrics, Carl shares our appreciation and respect for our resident Canadian singer and multi instrumentalist. So, when he had the chords worked out on his acoustic guitar, and a great vocal track, he recorded them and started a project, to which the rest of Eclectic Collective were invited.
  First up to bat was Ken, laying in his always clever, essential beat for the rest of us to work with. Stephen was the next person to lay down a track, which was his essential, but subtle electric rhythm track. Later, after it was almost done, he also added a fiery solo in the firt part of the ending section. Josh came along right after Stephen, laying down his signature fretless bass. He also added the organ shortly after, as well. Tez entered the fray next, adding the lightning, Gilmore-esque final solo in the end section. 
  We considered what to do with this song for a minute, too. The thought was whether to present it to Mark as a gift, or to include him in the mix. We decided to go with the latter, and he added the awesome vocalizations towards the end, as well as some cool triangle.
  Once we had it in the bag, we turned it over to Stephen for the production, mix, and mastering, which he always does in a very pro manner.
  This is our second of hopefully many songs with Carl. If you have good music on your page, there's a good chance that he'll hit you up to collaborate. Like the moon, he's everywhere, and he's a damn fine collaborator, too. We hope you enjoy hearing this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Carl also wanted to share this message about Mark, as well.
  "This song is written for our Canadian friend Mark. Mark is a pivotal member of the Eclectic Collective who as a band and equally Mark as an individual I'm discovering are phenomenal to work with. I was particularly struck how multiple generations of Mark's family enjoy music and creating together. Thanks for your music man. You really do show a unique approach and I look forward to making more really enjoyable songs like this one with you buddy. In my head lyrically Mark is whoever you focus the love on. Rock and Real!" ----TBD

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
You are the Mark
Mister Lark
Pedigree Bark
Stunning musical stark
Meet Mistermark

From Wondr to Bossa
All from I' Spy
Projecting your best
Proud human melody cry

May 2019
Maybe some fear became esteem
Soft bands in garage channel a way
Internal dreams in sound found light this day

So Dad was a seed
Kudos big man
You do good breed
In music we learn with proper concern
I think now you found Josh the EP

So onto Collective
You expand their perspective
With you and your music
Now Earth gets more fuses
Because of your music
It's a better blue ball
I know I certainly love hearing Marks call

We pressed the remote
We having those jams
Let's get it on and get more brain tan
We singing to clan
Wham bam thank you man

Miss No Mark

Archy has finally reached the elusive land of his dreams. But is it really all what it seems? Is there something evil in the air? Is there dark clouds at the horizon? Archibald Whim may step ashore, but what awaits him in this ever changing America?
This track was recorded in corporation with the ever so talented BribedAnt, that supported with bass and solo guitar along with a critical input in the mix and master process. Do look up BribedAnt on Soundcloud - it's a blast.

“Questa canzone ci invita a riflettere sulla nostra indifferenza di fronte a guerre e sofferenze. Attraverso immagini di bellezze perdute, sottolinea che "senza amore" non possiamo combattere per un cambiamento. È un appello a riscoprire la passione e a unirci per affrontare le sfide del nostro tempo.”

Senza amore

Paesaggi che ti levano il fiato
Di quelli che  riempiono il cuore
E pensi di essere proprio fortunato 
Fotogrammi da ricordare 
Ma tristemente stanno scomparendo 
E sembra che noi non ce ne accorgiamo 
La cultura e la civiltà sta svanendo 
Solo silenzio, accondiscenza tàcita

Stiamo strisciando lenti
Inesorabilmente 
Ciechi, muti e ignoranti
Incredibilmente stanchi
Bendati ma anche svogliati
Senza scusanti
Senza amore
Senza amore
Senza amore non si può combattere 
Senza amore non si può insorgere
Senza amore non si può vincere
La saggezza è la nostra pazzia
La nostra mente regalata a chi di dovere
E tutto scompare tutto va via 
Anche la passione e la voglia di amare
Abbiamo regalato la nostra gioventù e non solo 
Senza capire e senza fare
Tutti gli anni della nostra vita hanno preso il volo
E continuiamo così,                     senza niente da dire
 
Defraudati dei nostri diritti 
Ci distruggiamo tra noi simili
E continuiamo a stare zitti
Disamorati dell’umanità 
Continuiamo in questo percorso 
Senza coraggio e determinazione 
E intanto che il tempo passa noi abbiamo perso
Abbiamo perso un altra occasione

Senza amore

DOWN TO THE RIVER BLUES

In a world that seems to be drifting further from compassion and truth, “Our Own Normality” tells the story of two people who quietly resist the chaos. It’s not about trying to go back to the past — it’s about choosing to live right now with kindness, honesty, and love, even when the world doesn’t. Inspired by the quiet strength passed down through generations, this song is a reminder that values aren’t old-fashioned — they’re just rare. Set against a soft, emotional piano backdrop, the voice is close and human — not perfect, but true. This ballad speaks for anyone who still believes in doing right by each other, even when no one’s watching. It’s personal. It’s modern. It’s not nostalgia — it’s real life, built on something that still matters. And for those who’ve found someone to walk with through that kind of world, this song is for you.

Lyrics
Our Own Normality

They say to live a normal life — but what does that mean?
I see a world without feelings, don't seem to share.
No two faces look the same, no one stops to care,
But I’ve got you — and that feels rare.

Normal used to be kindness, Dad would say,
Telling the truth and living the right way.
The world has changed its way
We can always hold each other, we can always share

You will walk beside me through life, your hand in mine
We will write our own story and be a guiding light
The world will spin, it might not see
This love of ours will always be on display

Normal used to be kindness, Dad would say,
Telling the truth and living the right way.
The world has changed its way
We can always hold each other, we can always share

We’ll live our life, let the world just see,
Our love for each other — a light they need.
If we are kind and caring in all we do,
Maybe the world will learn from me and you.

Normal used to be kindness, Dad would say,
Telling the truth and living the right way.
The world has changed its way
We can always hold each other, we can always share

Thank you for listening to the older songs until then.
