Thanks for the 'heads up' guys. Bright and upbeat (but perhaps with a dark edge?) Unique sound on those vocals : )

nothing doesn't, does it? Very cool song!

Ya'll are so good!! Perfect music and Amanda is stunning as always..:):)

Exceedingly fine songwriting, superbly performed by Amanda & yourself.  Infectious stuff!

I was so busy trying to express how much I like this, I forgot to click 'liked' : ) Have done that now and get to listen again to this excellent songwriting, brilliantly creative music and Amanda's awesome vocals : )

We choose to go to the Moon.

With wonderful lead vocal by A K Sanderson.  Do check out AKS's songs here: https://soundcloud.com/phoebeelena

Nothing Makes Sense

There is a land where nothing makes sense
Hunger is sent away
Malaria’s gone to stay
And pigs fly every day
But nothing makes sense
And you will smile and walk a mile with me.  Now nothing makes sense.

And in this land where nothing makes sense
Kind is the new frontier
No one lives in fear
Water is clean and clear
No poison in the atmosphere
The World’s got its *rse in gear!
Nothing makes sense
And you and I will pioneer the dream.   So nothing makes sense.

Without a frown, we’ll hand me down
And sail the pea-green boat
This Bandersnatch and Jumbly Girl
Regale the season’s finest anecdote

Where is this land where nothing makes sense?
Learning for all is free
You can be who you want to be
Marjorie takes the knee!
But nothing makes sense
And you will smile and walk a mile with me.  Nothing makes sense.

Cast of characters:
Steve's Planet--@steve-vervaet—Steve—acustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–electric guitar, production, and mix

J.J. Terrell--@j-j-terrell—JJ—organ

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums, percussion, and low vocal harmony

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–Fender precision bass  


This song began as an acoustic guitar and vocals stem written and performed by Steve. He sent it to me, and I added the undulating staccato bass line, with the help of Ken's always well-suited drums. We went back and forth a couple of times, as is our process, until it clicked. Tez added some really dynamic leads and fills throughout, and Stephen filled in the rest of the electric guitar in a Keith/Ronnie kind of way, which is very tasteful. JJ then added some perfectly complimentary organ. Finally, Ken pleasantly surprised us with the low vocal harmonies, which were spot on. 
  Stephen also mixed and produced this one for us. He's brilliant behind the board, and we're lucky to have him aboard. This one came together in a matter of a relatively short period of a fortnight, which is rare for the Eclectic Collective. But, when something is hot and already put together, it comes quickly. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Lyrics:
Fallin’
Wandering aimless
Couldn’t shoot straight
No ability
Not much to say
There was no sign of me
Good times, bad times
Leaving out the sad times
Easily
That’s what they’re telling me
Mend or break
Looking over rooftops
Coming to a full stop
Suddenly
On a sad height
Raging endlessly
Breakline, beeline
Picking up the freeline
Easily
Follow my way
Leavin’ the fast lane
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2
And I – I’ve been going my way
One more time, only today 2x
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2

Fallin' (Eclectic Collective)

Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

Somnambulist Break In

J’AI UN SINGE ACCROCHÉ AUX BRANCHAGES DU DOS
UN CRAPAUD BUFFLE SUR LES PAUPIÈRES
J’AI DU TROP M’ÉMECHER AVEC PAS QUE DE L’EAU
PAS QUE LE DOS DE LA CUILLER

DES GRUES DES VAMPIRES ET DES BANDITS MANCHOTS
POUR SEULS COMPAGNONS DE FORTUNE
SOUS LES FLASHS DES RADARS LES NÉONS DES PEEP-SHOWS
ET L’ŒIL GOGUENARD DE LA LUNE

UNE HACHE PLANTÉE DANS LA BÛCHE DU CRÂNE
DES GRUMEAUX DE MOTS DANS LE CERVEAU OH OH
`ET TANDIS QUE ME POUSSENT DES OREILLES D’ÂNE
VOILA QUE COMME POUR PINOCCHIOOOOO

MON NEZ S’ALLONGE AU GRÉ DE MES MENSONGES
OU POUR DISTINGUER LE VRAI DU FAUX
FAUDRAIT FAIRE LA PART DU RÉEL ET DES SONGES
DE L’ALCOOL ET DU DOUBLE ZÉRO

CHAHUTÉ BALLOTÉ SUR LES FLOTS DE LA FOULE
TOURNEBOULÉ PAR DES VENTS CONTRAIRES 
TELLE UNE MOULE ACCROCHÉE AU ROCHER DANS LA HOULE
UNE PIERRE QUI ROULE DANS LA POUSSIÈRE

DÉJÀ LES VAUTOURS ME RÔDENT AUTOUR
LES MAUVAISES NOUVELLES VONT VITE
JE VOIS ÇA VENIR GROS COMME UN POIDS LOURD
DEMAIN C’EST SÛR JE LÉVITE

NANANI NANANERE EN VEUX-TU EN VOILÀ
DES BITURES DES FLOPS ET DES GALÈRES
DES HALLUS DES MANDALES ET DES SALES MANDALAS
COMME UN PARFUM DE POUDRE DANS L’AIR   

JE ME RESSERS UN VERRE LE FILET SE RESSERRE
POURVU QUE JE PASSE ENTRE LES MAILLES
ET A TRAVERS LES BALLES DE REVOLVER
DANS CE PUTAIN DE CHAMPS DE BATAILLE

MAIS OU EST DONC ORNICAR ET QU’A-T-ON FAIT DE NOS AILES
UNE TONNE DE PLOMB SOUS CHAQUE SEMELLE
ON VOUDRAIT COMME ICARE MONTER VERS LE SOLEIL
LES MORTS SE RAMASSENT À LA PELLE

ET ÇA CANARDE À TOUT VA COMME DANS UN SALE POLAR
SAUF QUE C’EST MARQUÉ DANS LE JOURNAL
ÇA TIRE À TIRE-LARIGOT LE ROUGE VIRE AU NOIR
SAUF QU’ON EST PAS VRAIMENT DANS STENDHAL

ALORS JE VAIS MAUGRÉANT, SONGEUR ET TACITURNE
LE LONG DES TROTTOIRS OMBILICAUX
DIRECTION LE NÉANT LES ANNEAUX DE SATURNE
AVEC MON POTE PÉPÉ LE MOKO

IL NOUS RESTE ENCORE UN BOUT DE ROUTE À FAIRE
AVANT D’ATTEINDRE LE PARADIS
UN WEEK-END AU PURGATOIRE ET UNE SAISON EN ENFER
EN PRENANT TOUS LES SENS INTERDITS

J’AI UN SINGE ACCROCHÉ AUX BRANCHAGES DU DOS
UN CRAPAUD BUFFLE SUR LES PAUPIÈRES
J’AI DU TROP M’ÉMECHER AVEC PAS QUE DE L’EAU
PAS QUE LE DOS DE LA CUILLER

ET GLOU ET GLOU ET RONPATAPON
PIED AU PLANCHER A FOND LA CHIGNOLE
DES ROUES DES ROUES DES BATONS DES BATONS
AH LAISSEZ MOI QUE JE RIGOLE

HURLER AVEC LES LOUPS BÊLER AVEC LES MOUTONS
COMME DES RATS DANS LA SOURICIÈRE
L’INFO NOUS POUSSE A BOUT ET LE POGNON NOUS TOND
A MOINS QUE ÇA NE SOIT LE CONTRAIRE

Cast of characters:
Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel - lyrics and vocals

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–foundational guitar in first half, solo in the coda, mix, and production

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell– piano and composition

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums, percussion, and background vocals

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–guitar solo and fills in the main section

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–mandolin, four string fretless bass guitar

This latest Eclectic Collective song was probably the most collaborative in a true sense as we've yet released. The song began with Josh trying to piece together a couple of ideas that he'd come up with on the piano. He sent his ideas to JJ, who took out a connecter section that Josh had no intention of making anything of, and turned it into the body of the song. He returned the song to Josh complete with a signature JJ Terrell climactic coda. Then Josh added the bass to JJ's piano, with some help from the always solid drums from Ken. The way it usually goes is that Josh comes up with a scratch bass line to accompany the song, then Ken adds drums, then Josh goes back and adds the bass to fit the beat. Sometimes they go back and forth, but not this time so much.

Then, Stephen added the foundational guitar in the first section, and came up with the idea for the coda. Josh added some mandolin to the coda, too, after which Stephen redid the guitar in the coda to make it very dynamic and part the clouds. Tez finally came along and added the fiery solo and the charming fills in the main section. Most of this time, MD had been working on the narrative lyrics and refining his melodic vocals. Finally, Stephen put it all together for us and mixed it in his expert fashion.

We hope you enjoy the thrill of the climax, and also get a chuckle out of the lyrics, which are included below.

Let me tell you 'bout a dancer yeah!
A mysterious one
She dances to the decibel
She's a A shape shifter from the stars
She doesn't cast no shadow
The light makes things bizarre
She'll mold a new soul in you
And get your grandmother too
She'll bleed you from afar

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
Yeah!
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white!

Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about

Oh baby you caught me off guard I think it's gonna be a early time and a Late night

Hubba bubba max
Hubble space snacks
I'm playing galaga
Waiting for climax
It didn't take long
A few setbacks

One and done in the black hole
With the Shape shifting of my gun
The time was short but the blast quaked
It was all over before it begun
The frown Came over her like a storm cloud dropping down torrential rain
The frown came over me some time later when the little fetus from Mars slopped onto the terrain

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

{Get that thing away from me
Stay on your home planet}

Just One minute altered my universe
My reputation outside of the earth
Flys away in a hearse
Now I'm just the minute man of the cosmos
With an infant out there somewhere they call him... space Frankenstein that's what she knows

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

L'actualité récente nous démontre une fois de plus, s'il en était besoin que l'homme est vraiment l'être vivant le plus cruel, le plus destructeur et pollueur que porte cette pauvre  planète.
" Désespérant "

Recent news shows us once again, if it were necessary, that man is truly the cruelest, most destructive and polluting living being on this poor planet.
" Hopeless "

Paroles/lyrics Man qui nuit le jour 

A today que vais-je faire,
A today je suis sur terre,
And now je fais la guerre,
And now j'pollue ton air,

Devines qui je suis,
Devines qui je suis,
Devines qui je suis,

Je suis man qui nuit le jour,
Je suis man qui nuit toujours,
Je suis man qui nuit le jour,

A today que vais-je faire,
A today je suis sur terre,
And now je fais la guerre,
And now j'pollue ton air,

Midisound sent me this track for collaborating on , and it was so pretty i had to bite, go hear his AWESOME work :-https://soundcloud.com/sonido-reflexivo
Please enjoy my little ditty about going home from a long busy day at work , these words were formed on the cycle ride home i do every evening from the west end of London to the flat in Chelsea where i live.
Lyrics:-
Home
Where the heart is
Home
Where my mind can roam
The precious time i spend alone

When the working day is over
That's my favorite time , I'm going home
I like to be there on my own
I used to be a kind of rover
Being loud , those days are over
Home
I like to be here on my own

Heroes de un nuevo día

Se está gastando el día,
de este invierno para atrás.
Una mano en el bolsillo,
el sonido al caminar.

Y caes de madrugada,
a la tibia soledad.

Se que te gusta volar,
hacia esa antigua melodía  
Que te anula la razón,
y te hace imaginar.

Se padece y se termina,
ese amor que fue fugaz    .
Héroes de un nuevo día,
te vienen a rescatar.

cuando ves que ya no hay nada,
y el corazón no da más.

Y si una puerta cerrás,
deja otra abierta.
Para que cuando regrese el amor,
lo puedas atrapar.


Letra y musica: Pichy Sotomayor

First song I've made in 11 months, was remixing all of my albums and re-releasing them.  First song where I sing baritone/low in vocal, especially lead.  First song where I play drums live.  A lot of firsts.  Still some work to do.  

I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE
(c) JunkHeap Nov 07 2023

A song about eventually finding that love of your life.  Got to be patient.
---
Brushing my hand over aster leaves.
Goldenrod, and that pale sun tease.
Knowing I"m ok on my own.

The bluebird calls out in a city burb,
makes me think I'm much the same.
I wouldn't mind finding someone
to grow old with.

Well...
Sittin' by a fire, on a cold, cold day.
Holding hands and talking about anything.
Like they say, patience is a virtue.

Going through the everyday,
don't get me wrong, I love so much of it.
but it would be nice to find that special someone. 

I know you're out there.

I don't like the word 'alone', 
I prefer 'going solo'.
The tendrils of life,
behind the scenes, bring us together,
if you know what I mean.

When the world has so much to offer,
and we get caught up in minutia,
a simple kiss and the tenderness, 
it means everything.

Ya...

Sittin' on a misty lake, on a warm day.
Seeing that smile that says everything.
Knowing there's a deeper connection 
for both of us.

Taking on the everyday,
As the Earth, she spins away.
Just a brief time here,
lets make the most of it. 

I know you're out there.
