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-The Beautiful Dark/Eclectic Collective

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics:

Meanwhile I try to write a new song
Bang my head against a brick wall
Nothing new will come
That’s just how it falls

I feel that I’m wasting time
Time passes so very slow
Can’t find that perfect rhyme
Nothing seems to want to flow

Chorus

Make it fine 
Make it good 
Live your life the way you should 

Take your time
Pass it around
Don’t let time let you down

Solo

Now this song is haunting me
Can’t think what I want to say
Dig deep in my memory
Maybe leave it for another day

Chorus x 2

Don’t let time let you down x 3

Don't let time let you down

Brought to live from Vinny’s Lounge and Gambleteria. On the outskirts of Las Vegas. Song by my bandmate Ian Stephen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMRSDBTAeDA

Lyrics

I WAS WATCHIN' A DVD OF ELVIS, IN 1977 IT'S ONE YOU'LL NEVER SEE
IT NEVER REALLY WAS A DVD, I MADE A COPY FROM A TAPE
THAT SOMEBODY GAVE ME, AND ELVIS IS STILL GREAT
 ALMOST 30 YEARS LATER

THE KING LOOKS ALL PUFFY AND FAT, BUT NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE GIVES A CRAP
ELVIS LOOKS LIKE HE'S ALREADY DEAD, HIS BLUE BLACK HAIR IS RUNNIN' WITH SWEAT 
HE HANDS OUT SCARVES TO HYSTERICAL CHICKS, ALL THE WHILE LOOKS BLOATED UP AND SICK
BUT WHEN HE SINGS "HOW GREAT THOU ART", IT'S SOMETHING THAT TRANSCENDS ART

LET ELVIS FREE, ON DVD 
1977, JUST BEFORE HE WENT TO HEAVEN

YOU CAN'T REWRITE HISTORY, IT'S SO MESSED UP IT'S SOMETHING TO SEE
MAYBE ONE DAY WE'LL GET TO SEE IT, IF PRISCILLA AND LISA MARIE WILL FREE IT (SHE'S DEAD)
NOBODY CAN TAKE THAT AWAY, IT'S A REAL PERSON AND THAT'S OK 
THESE MODERN DAY ENTERTAINING FOOLS CAN'T COMPETE
ELVIS IS TOTALLY COOL

LET ELVIS FREE, ON DVD 
1977, JUST BEFORE HE WENT TO HEAVEN

Let Elvis Live

i put a little spin on this four tops classic to suit my inclinations. 

peppermint oil face cream every morning
quirky shirt statements for every occasion
convos for every grocery store associate
cares for the underdog kids at the highschool
sings at the drop of a hat every day
always finds something kind to say
loves me for all of the way that i am
puts the moves on me makes me feel like a man
words of affirmation is her loving language
she'll light one up any time she can manage
brings me a drink when it's hot outside
knows what she wants and lays it on the line
messages her family and keeps up with her friends
early in the morning wakes me up with a grin
best damn woman that i ever seen
the illustrious velumptuous monika j. jean

ain't no woman (like the one i got)

Well your baby's got a breaking heart
But you don't care from the start
Because you, are just you

She's a wonderful girl to know
But you're a rat and I told you so
Because you, are just you

You treat em wrong and you break their hearts
And what is worse is from the start
You don't care what you do

445. because you are just you (harding).mp3

lyrics

I feel no more 
Feel no more fear
I feel no more
Feel no more pain
Troubles
Troubles
No more
No more

no more

After completing the song, I found a noticeable spread between the highest & lowest notes.  So I had a hard time with the vocals.  I could have altered the notes to fit the voice but in the end I decided to go with the original.  Please bear with my singing.

The lyrics is extracted from a lengthy poem I came across on the web.
In the end, perhaps the plot doesn't make much sense anyway.  So let's assume it's just for the sake of making a song.   See what you think.

Thanks much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
The memory of you emerges from the night around me
The river mingles its stubborn lament with the sea

In you the wars and the flights accumulated
From you the wings of the song birds rose

Cold flower heads are raining over my heart
I made the wall of shadow draw back,
Beyond desire I walked on

You swallowed everything, like distance
Like the sea, like time,  in you everything sank
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded,
In you everything sank

The happy hour of assault and the kiss
and spell that blazed like a lighthouse
I raise my song to you

I don't know how you could contain me
in the earth of your soul, in the cross of your arms

You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank
This was my destiny and in it was the voyage of my longing,
In you everything sank

.... Solo break....

You swallowed everything, like distance
Like the sea, like time,  in you everything sank
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded,
In you everything sank

You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank
This was my destiny and in it was the voyage of my longing,
In you everything sank
Ah haaaa

In You (Everything Sank)

Mr Bringer-er Together-er is Josh. You may also know him as artist Entheogenic Psychnought, or the spine of Eclectic Collective. We all came across Josh in our own lucky ways, but he really sets a high bar for spreading constructive musical love and encouragement on SoundCloud. This song started out as a comment. I (Carl/TBD) went to call Josh Mr Bringer-er Together-er and my phone auto corrected it. the next morning K2 swooped in and said what I wanted so I used that as a trigger for the song.
So, I had a rough arrangement. We then invited a few artists, except Josh, to paint it for him. Then Scotty (One Man Verity Show) chimed in with some amazing guitar, trippy backing vocals, and the super artwork you get to enjoy. Mark brushed in a triangle and started things off with a 5-part harmony backing vocal arrangement. Then Scratch Kelly, aka Sarah, beamed through some amazing backing vocals, and not long behind Joe Stroffolino painted in some brilliant backing vox as well. Then Ken added those trusty drums. Tez then strutted in and added some super lead guitar, and not far behind him was Stephen with some epic rhythm guitar that showed the way for the song from that point of view showing a much better space to all the other instruments than the original demo guitar. That was a lovely lesson on less is more...

The song was now ready to give to the main man for him to paint, and he chose his trusty bass to put some strawberries on his own musical cake.

I now stared at 37 tracks and went... Hmmm Stephen, Help! Stephen mixed and mastered it to its crisp current form, and it was a very difficult mix. He basically had to merge 3 projects to one and really aced the challenging mix and master like the true shaman he is. We hope you enjoy the song that brought us together again. May it give us more togetherness like Josh so wonderfully demonstrates everyday.
You da brother man Josh 🤘🏽
