I like this CT. Awesome reflective sound.

Hey Christian man, love this one! Wonderfully disjointed chords with an unapparent melody that comes into view as the song progresses. Outstanding work here, my friend!

Great experimental track, Christian. It reminds me a bit of Gorillaz vibe :) Really intriguing stuff! Big congrats, man! 😎👍

Very creative! The words, vocals & great harmonies (getting Radiohead vibes here)😎

Lyrics:
remember when we were young
remember all the things that we shared together
honestly i don’t know how we lasted so long

you are still here with me
even through the bad times
cause god really knows
that we had our fair share of those

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healing soul

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healing soul

the sky is crying but
what happened to all the tears
they’re not touching me
and it’s not near me

i see it falling but it never reaches out to me
like it always used to
whenever there was evil

rain a little harder and then
come and try to touch the ground
wet me on my head
come and make me better

free us from the evil
take away the pain it caused
and leave us with a pure soul
that commands no evil

i need the water of god
kindly bestowed upon me

i need to cleanse my soul
take the evil straight out of me

then we need to cleanse the world
so everybodies soul can be free
but the rain is not touching down

can’t you see the evil all around
that’s some shit we need to take down
we need to take it all down right damn now

magical mystical miracle
pouring rain in the sky

soon be gone
as quick as it came
the healing storm
will go away

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
all the pain

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
you’ll be saved

we need the cleansing water
so as to make us better inside

do you wanna be saved
or would you rather be evil and die
i don’t know why

cause once god cuts off the cleansing waters
there’s nothing we can do
and then we’re through

so show your true colors
there is so much good still left in you

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
all the pain

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
you’ll be saved

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healthy soul

Cast of characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), VST steel drums, vocals, lyrics, composition, production, mix     
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass

This song began with Mark, who fleshed out the entire thing, from the rhythm section, to the organ that you hear in there, to the lyrics and vocals, before he laid it on the rest of us. We all got a chuckle from the tongue in cheek humor of the lyrics, and were excited to work on a song about an anachronistic adventure of a soulful caveman. 
  Ken was first up with his version of the the beat, finding the soul in the rhythm. Josh was next up, of course, using his "normie" bass for the his version of the line. Once the rhythm section was in place, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, soulful e. piano to the mix. 
  Now that they had a solid foundation on which to play, Stephen and Tez added their guitar magic to the mix. Stephen with the rhythm and the fills, and Tez with the ripping solo at the end. Mark also added the festive VST steel drums that you hear throughout at this point, too. Now that the music was laid down, he perfected his awesome vocals to complete it.
  It was in the can at that point, and just needed Mark to throw a pro sounding mix on it. Then, Stephen mastered it in his always expert way to finish it off.
  Mark wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song (a la Al Green), which he did, all on his own. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song, both of which you can find on Mark's page. Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions. 
  This was a real team effort, even though it's really Mark's baby. The Eclectic Collective has many different methods of creating music. This one was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by mistermark:

Walking through this concrete jungle
I’m just trying to stay out of the way 
just me and ol’ Rex, my furry companion 
we been fielding funky looks all day
then somebody saw me kicking rocks with my bare toes
he said buddy have you lost your way?
then I sat right down and I started to cry
and this is what I had to say…

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say 

Sittin’ in my man cave watching the clock crawl
there's nothing good on my tv 
my big grubby hands can’t flip thru the channels
i cant even hold a cup of tea
I was chatting on the phone making plans with a lady
a little bit of company
but my date split QUICK when I opened the door
man I wonder what’s wrong with me

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break now
the ladies say I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

The big city’s fine but something’s on my mind
I feel a little incomplete
I miss my old club, for rustling up some grub
and the touch of grass below my feet
I’ve been around longer than all your creation, 
like the rocks and trees and streams
I wanna get back home, where forever I’ll roam
even if it’s only in my dreams

I’m a caveman
I can’t catch a break 
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

I’m a caveman, 
must be come kinda mistake
everybody says I’m so passé 
well I’m a - a caveman
It’s too much to take
but I’m gunna get back some day

This song began with Mark, who wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song, which he did, singing & playing all of the instrument parts on his own at first. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song - this one (the group remix), and the original Soul version (Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions).

Ken was first up with his vibrant interpretation of Mark's original drum track. Josh was next up, replacing Mark's bass line with a more upbeat bopping take. Once the rhythm section was in place, Stephen found the perfect guitar motif which served as both rhythm guitar, and the soulful lead that suited both versions of the song.

With a solid foundation on which to play, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, rhythmic and playful electric piano to the mix. Tez added his guitar magic, ripping solo parts in the instrumental sections, and at the end. It was at this point that the decision was made to go with two versions, so Ken added some rhythmic percussion to the mix, and Mark also tested out his newly acquired VST steel drums to emphasize the slight Caribbean vibe that was emerging. With Mark completing mixing duties on both versions, it was now time for Stephen to master it in his always expert way to finish it off.

This was a real team effort,  demonstrating The Eclectic Collective's many different methods of creating music. It was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Dear friends, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It can be noted that many people become extra kind and friendly during Christmas time, even if not everyone celebrates Christmas. Perhaps a ceasefire can be implemented in the Middle East - It has been talked about! Now, one can only hope that Mr. President Putin's heart will be transformed from stone to gold!

Lyrics in English
A Heart of Gold

Now comes the most beautiful time
you can see when the birds fly to us
they know that we now - have a heart of gold

When you meet someone in the town square
you can see that they bow and bow
and they smile at me - they have a heart of gold

You can hear that those who rule the world now
have softened and they say that now there will be peace
you can hope that they - have a heart of gold

Both mistress and master are friendly now
they give a meat bone to the dog and the cat runs free
everyone notices right now - that Christmas has come here

Lyrics in Swedish
Ett Hjärta av Guld

Nu kommer den vackaste tiden hit
man kan få se när fåglarna flyga till oss
de vet att vi nu - har ett hjärta av guld

Då man möter någon på stadens torg
man kan få se att dom niger och bugar sig
och dom ler mot mig - dom har ett hjärta av guld

Man kan höra att dom som styr världen nu
har mjuknat upp och dom säger att nu ska det bli fred
man kan hoppas att dom - har ett hjärta av guld

Både matte och husse är vänliga nu
dom ger ett köttben till hunden och katten springer fritt
alla märker just nu - att julen har kommit hit

Ett Hjärta av Guld (A Heart of Gold - A Christmas Carol) - 2024-12-22 12.17

Just a song that I love!!!  Recorded in 2022… I’m dedicating this to J.J. Terrell! He is a keyboardist extraordinaire, a fantastic friend, and our main key tinkler and songwriter in our Eclectic Collective! J.J., if you listen to this, pay attention to the lyrics, brother! Hope you all dig my version! .. as for my singing, well.. I’m good on the drums, he, he and ha!!!🤣🤩😎🙏

Probably the most processed song I've done

Lyrics

Stand up straight and open your eyes
Can't be sure someone won't die
Things are gonna get wild around here
It's about to hit the fan
You're about to lose your mind

Soon you won't be mine
Soon you won't be mine
Soon you won't be mine

Cause I've had it up to here
Can't take anymore
I've had it up to here
Can't take anymore
Cause I've had it up to here
I can't take anymore
I've had it up to here
Can't take anymore

Soon you won't be mine
Soon you won't be mine
Soon you won't be mine

Days and weeks I remember
The good times that we had
Now you've lost your mind
I'm packing my bags
You're gonna lose your mind
Can't take anymore
You're lose your ever loving mind
You're gonna lose your mind

Soon you won't be mine
Soon you won't be mine
Soon you won't be mine

I've had it up to here
Can't take anymore
Can't take anymore
I've had it up to here

up to here
