Cool piece. I get a horror movie feel or a sinister theatre production, nice vibe ct!

Hey Christian man, love the off kilter groove of this one. Great, Waitsian vocals in here, too. Tom would be proud. Awesome work, my friend!

Unique song, very apt concept, in the present time of greed & suffering, awesome

Curious muffled backing, like a giant in socks, the vocal features Johny Rotten style bass, it's all very downbeat. I'm guessing this was all very carefully planned and executed.

Wow this is different - digging the experimentalism, it's got a surreal feel to it

This is a disarming track Christian. Such a creative direction you took this one on. Very cool.

Thought I'd sneak in a little track before the year is out. I have not been very active on Soundcloud this year, will endeavour to start writing again in the new year, and listen to all the talent that is out there! 

Happy hols

p.s. Such rhythm in these lyrics, something I have always admired about this artist.

You Never Can Tell (Cover)

PLEASE READ THIS! THIS IS NOT A PROMOTION!
I'm posting this here as a curiosity and... a sorts of warning. Artificial Intelligence has entered the sphere of music creation. And it hits with enormous power...

This is a song that my wife (she's German Language teacher) generated using Suno.ai in about 2 minutes, just giving it a prompt to generate a rock song. Its lyrics come from a really cheesy song included in a children's textbook. She just wanted the song to sound more accessible to today's kids. She didn't actually realize what this song would cause. And it left me completely shocked and actually questioning the point of further activities in music... 

My wife, by generating this song, gave the A.I. ​​a lot of scope for its own "imagination". She did not specify the structure of the song or the elements to be included in it - which can be set by entering appropriate comments in the song's text. What surprised me is how wisely the A.I. ​​approached this task, how it determined what should be included in this song. A huge surprise for me is the second part of the song, where the A.I., having no more lyrics, created something incredible, using elements such as triplet, half-time and returning when we expect the song to have ended. What's even more surprising is that the A.I. ​​understood that it was a song in German and was inspired by German-speaking bands such as Die Ärzte and used the typical German song structure, including the sound of the vocals.

Yes, I know, I do music for fun, but I still don't know what to do next... I'm thinking how it will impact the music industry? Let's talk about it in the comments and remember - let's be polite.

Below is a link to the original song, I improved it a bit, but whether it's for the better is a matter of taste:

And here is another one that left me speechless, also generated by my wife:

My Faith Has Abandoned Me

'diffidence' 

Please let me be the only one to love you.
And, me, the only one to whom you give your love.
For, in my life, I've placed no one above you.
It feels so right and safe each time we touch. 

But I fear that somehow I've left you unsatisfied,
and that you feel the need hide from me
all the things that go down when my hands are tied.
Tell me, baby, please, just set my mind at ease. 

I'm doing all I can to understand you.
I give you all have each time I can, my love.
I hope our love continually expands through
communication, and that we can trust 

everything we share, based on the feelings
that captivate our souls when we are near.
I know that we are unique, separate beings,
but it's so hard livin' with all this fear 

of losing you, because we are so different.
Although the love we share, feels much the same.
I apologize for my constant diffidence,
but, sometimes my brain makes me feel insane...

House lost in the mountain I come up to you 
I walk slowly and silent, my eyes on my shoes
I m walking, I’m breathing, my fingers are freezing, I’m climbing, I’m wondering, am I still on my way
I’m walking, sun’s blinding, my body is warming, big trees are dancing and I wonder if I ´m still on my way
Am I still on my way? Am I still on my way ?
House lost in the mountain I come up to you, I walk slowly and silent my eyes on my shoes
I’m walking, I’m suffering my mind’s still tormented , I’m climbing I’m wondering, am I still on my my way
Driven by a blind will I could find what I m searching I’ m breathing I m sweating and I wonder if I’m still on my way 
Am I still on my way ? Am I still on my way?
House lost in the mountain, I’m now close to you, I feel in peace and silent in the warmth of the wood.

This song began its life when Ken came to with a series of drum skeletons about half a year ago with the intent of starting several McDonald's themed songs that The Mysterious Decibel was writing for the group. Well MD had some life getting in the way and then decided to pursue another project full time, leaving us with four solid songs, but without vocals. Ken ended up supplying the solid lead vocals and harmonies you hear the whole way through, with original lyrics that he also wrote.
  But before any of that happened, we got this song together. Stephen was first up, coming up with the main guitar riffs that carry the whole way through. Josh responded quickly to the his guitar parts with some matching bass to go along with it. 
  About this time, Mark heard the funky break in there, and so installed every part of it all on his own, including the clavinet, organ, bass, and drums. Although, Ken is also still playing in the break, as well. When we had it pretty well set, Tez came along and added some fiery guitar to go along with Stephen's. 
  Once we had it in the can, we turned it over to Mark for his expert mix. Stephen mastered it for us, too, for the final, winning touch.
  This ended up being a satisfying product of The Eclectic Collective's teamwork. We hope you enjoyed listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original Lyrics by K2 and The Three:

I built my library, by burning it to  the ground
I live my life, through all this singing sound
Can’t remember, what then we should’ve done
It’s up to you, now, you’re the chosen one

Scaling the riverbank
Scaling the riverbank
Scaling the riverbanks
Scaling the riverbanks

Till we reach solid ground
Pit for play dirt(pay dirt)
Muddy water all around
Sift the sandbox
There’s gold in them thar hills
Treasures lying
Skills to pay the bills

Hanging on and on
…. and I, can’t find my way up!

New to you
It’s goo to you
New to you
It’s goo to you
New to you!

Scaling the River Banks
Scale the riverbanks
Scaling the riverbanks till we reach solid ground
Scaling the riverbanks till we reach solid ground

Hanging  on and on
And I can’t find my way up!

Scale the River Banks
Scaling the riverbanks!

Scale the riverbanks!

2006.... Lots in the noggin around then . Pretty intense vocal. I've always said I need to re record it to take the intensity out of it but maybe that makes it ...


Lyrics

Eee ahhh
This is for your God
Which is you
call back to 
or who'll nurture you
Three people (You / Mum / Dad)
I am a mind body
I am a body mind
I am the wind
I am a tree
I am a wolf
I go free and this I gulp

You are a mind body
You are a body mind
You are rhebind if you accept my kind
You are free to be a wise wolf
Eternity if these you gulp

Ah ahh ah ahh

I am a mind body
I am a body mind 
I am the wind
For I am mankind
And you are free to be whatever you want to be
Infinity
I your sense or belief or whatever you believe
Whatever doesn't deceive
it's hurts but it works but it hurts

Experience is what you bad if your that lad 
Redemption makes all good 
Ascension ain't no good or bad
Just life
No shite

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

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 
  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.
  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.
  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 
  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about blow up
If you close your eyes enough
The pain will go away

I'm spoiled I'm rotten
I'm so spoiled and I'm rotten
So spoiled I'm rotten

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about to blow up
If you close your eyes enough 
The pain will go away

I am spoiled I am rotten
I'm so spoiled and I am rotten
I'm so rotten

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about to blow up
The pain will go away
I'm so spoiled 

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about blow up
If you close your eyes enough
The pain will go away

I'm spoiled I'm rotten
I'm so spoiled and I'm rotten
So spoiled I'm rotten

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about to blow up
If you close your eyes enough

I'm so rotten

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about to blow up
The pain will go away
I'm so spoiled
