This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.
Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning.
The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.
Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.
This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind
there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind
how could I have been so blind?
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me
it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea
the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home
the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown
on their own
“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play”
our leaders assured us we’d never go poor
and nobody questions the truth anymore
but what did we do it all for?
Our science sustains us like fine works of art
but are we closer together or farther apart?
we’re each on an island alone on the sea
the ocean between us expands rapidly
is this where we wanted to be?
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me
it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be
machines tried to help us but something went wrong
the future we wanted was here all along
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind
there were words left unsaid…

Propitiation

Called in dismay
And you heard my pain
With you on my side
Who could be afraid?

Was about to fall
Then I heard your call
Your words of living truth
Will never pass away

[chorus]

He is my strength
And our redemption
Better to trust in Him
Than to trust in man

He is our hope
And our salvation
Better to trust in Him
Than to trust in man

Right hand exalted
Wrought with power
Everlasting mercy
endures today

His propitiation
Is our salvation
He is the gate
the righteous way

[chorus]

This is the day
The Lord has made
hearts are remade
In His holy name

Thank Lord Jesus
For He is good
And His mercy
Forever endures

Happy Halloween.... the song is actually a tribute to Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople ..one of the best bands of the 70s....Ian is still rocking into his mid 80s..so I am the one with the rigor mortis clearly..go Ian go...
sound clips from 1931 Frankenstein movie
There are at least 8 Mott the Hoople Song titles in the lyrics


Rock N Roll Rigor Mortis

Roll Away The Stone                                        
God is calling, he's on the phone
He's got a glambam plan, one last stand        
Before they take you home                               

Spotlight shines in your face
You better put on a pair of Ian Hunter shades
I Wish I Was Your Mother, wish I was your father
Never could put you in your place

Hey, old man
What don't you understand?
Know your rights
Plead that Habeas Corpus
Hey, old man 
The music makes demands
Shake off your rock n roll rigor mortis

Move your hips to the beat
Take a deep breath, unstick yourself from that seat
Shine a light through your pupil, of pure Mott the Hoople
To energise those ancient feet

Time to rise again
Like Lazarus, a comeback, this ain’t the end
You're one wild stiff, rockin all my riffs
Be careful how your body bends 

Hey old man
What don't you understand?
Know your rights
Plead that Habeas Corpus
Hey old man 
The music makes demands
Shake off your rock n roll rigor mortis

All The Way From Memphis               
The Golden Age Of Rock N Roll    
Elvis and the Whizz Kids                 
Ain’t no peace in the valley for the last patrol 

Drivin’ Sister, Jerkin’ Crocus
Help me When My Mind Is Gone
Do the shimmy shake, bring it into focus
Sing it loud this victory song

Chorus

It's alive!!! It's alive!!! It's alive!!!

Haute Tension (feat. Phil'in)

This time, we decided to do a cover based on Xian3’s idea. He has already uploaded his own version. The song is Sky and Sand, and his version represents the “Sand,” https://on.soundcloud.com/6dUaOQRlUTvRYwfsDg mine represents the “Sky.” We both used the same vocal track, but the overall tone and atmosphere are completely different. It made me realize once again how interpretation can give such breadth to the same song. I believe that being able to enjoy music this freely is truly important. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Xian3.https://on.soundcloud.com/jWqcgyW4NqMP4kyc0Z

Sky And Sand　　　
Composition and lyrics: Fritz and Paul Kalkbrenner

In the nighttime when the world is at its rest
You will find me in the place i know the best
Dancin’, shoutin’, flyin’ to the moon
Don’t have to worry ´cause i’ll be come back soon

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand
Design our whole world ain’t nobody understand
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand
As long as we are flying, all this world ain’t got no end
All this world ain’t got no end

(I found myself alive in,
In the palm of your 
In the palm of your hand,
I found myself alive in…)

In the daytime you will find me by your side
Tryna do my best and tryin’ make things right
When it all turns wrong there is no fault but mine
But it won’t hit hard `cause you let me shine

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand
Design our whole world ain’t nobody understand
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand
As long as we are flying, all this world ain’t got no end
All this world ain’t got no end

(I found myself alive in,
In the palm of your,
In the palm of your hand…
As long as we are flying 
All this world ain’t got no end,
All this world ain’t got no end,
Ohh,
All this world ain’t got no…)

Cosmic flute by Jörg: https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx

Today we presented our latest work. It was completed back in October 2025. It consists of old and new elements of our music🎶🙏😻

Amanitalinda's didgeridoo symbolizes the deep connection with Mother Earth, and Jörg's flute represents the infinite freedom of the sky. Our attention is also particularly drawn to Linda's delightful spoken poem🥰 

“I am the Child of Nature” is an incredibly fantastic journey to yourself. A song full of mindfulness in harmony with nature🌳

Special thanks you goes once again to Jörg, who, with his soulful and dynamic flute playing, gives our song another cosmic dimension. His expressiveness bridges the different song parts. 

A true asset! We say a heartfelt thank you, dear Jörg💖

Enjoy our new song🍀
Your Child of Nature ✨🌟❤️🌟✨

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
