Even Beholder

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

This track is a little nuts.....

If you've ever battled a raccoon, this is the song for you, sung from the perspective of the perpetrator. Raccoons are wily little buggers and more than a little guile is needed to control the movements of an animal that has been trapped in a cage before.

Debated with myself a bit on adding more instruments and sounds but in the end decided that less was more. The "rhythm guitar" is a distorted saturated synth and the "lead" is a Logic Pro Heavy Metal guitar manipulated with the pitch stick on my synth. The difficult part was getting the swing on the drums right and the ADSR right on the main synth, modulation and LFO. Also played a bit with the compression to get a breathing sound.

About the raccoon - that battle is ongoing - physical deterrence is now in place.

The raccoon, also spelled racoon and sometimes called the common raccoon or northern raccoon to distinguish it from the other species, is a mammal native to North America. It is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in), and a body weight of 5 to 26 kg (11 to 57 lb). Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur, which insulates it against cold weather. The animal's most distinctive features include its extremely dexterous front paws, its facial mask, and its ringed tail, which are common themes in the mythologies of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas surrounding the species. The raccoon is noted for its intelligence, and studies show that it is able to remember the solution to tasks for at least three years. It is usually nocturnal and omnivorous, eating about 40% invertebrates, 33% plants, and 27% vertebrates. [Wikipedia]

NEVER LOSE

Keep on coming back
Doesn’t really matter 
Spicy red American 
Coyote piss whatever

Turn up the volume
Tie up the bait 
Bag it all, close the door
I don’t give a damn

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

I know what’s down under
I know what you’re trying to hide

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

Keep on coming back
Never ever mattered
Inca mountain flake 
Apple cider try

Play rock’n’roll
Talk show or news
Heard it all before
Kinda like it now

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

Time is on my side
Time is my legal guardian

Find another way
Find your hidden weakness 
Seen you from above
You can try again
All over and again

Keep on coming back
Its never gonna matter
Flashing disco lights
I’ll do a pirouette

Put a ring on it
I’ll go left or right
I’m coming down
I got you number

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

I know where you live
I know when you’re asleep

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

I never lose
I never lose
I never lose
I never lose

Keep on
Keep on coming back
Keep on
Keep on coming back

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

I never lose

Never Lose

It's a long road to hell but we're making good time

Yeah
Who am I? Someone that's afraid to let go, uh
You decide, if you're ever gonna let me know, yeah

I gave her everything
She took my heart and left me lonely
I think broken heart's contagious
I won't fix, I'd rather weep

I'm lost then I'm found
But it's torture bein' in love
I love when you're around
But I fuckin' hate when you leave

Who am I? Someone that's afraid to let go, uh
You decide, if you're ever gonna let me know, yeah
Suicide, if you ever try to let go, uh

Lyrics: Written, performed, mixed and mastered by The Mysterious Decibel

The brown sounds its own bassline
Breeding Frankenstein
But i've seemed to have crossed the line
Cuz i got a text from the boss
While i'm dropping brown sauce
DROPPIN' BROWN SAUCE

What you doing?
Where you at?
You're on company time
I'm just dropping some sauce is that even a crime!?
Don't you know you gotta slave, don't you know to behave to make your precious dime!

Knock knock 
Who's there?
Open up it's me
You've been in there since half past 3
I'm dropping some sauce do you wanna see?
You're about to be fired on the highest degree!

Couldn't be any hotter than the seat beneath me
Blast beats in the bowl with some Hennessey
Couldn't be any hotter than the rage inside me
That i feel towards you and this company!

Do I really need this? 
I don't need this anymore
I reach down underneath my balls and taint
My hand will become the brush that paints
I rise from the shitter with a vengeful smile
I'll leave my mark, it'll be on file
The knocking won't stop
I think it's time to quit in style

How you gonna fire with a face full of shit!?
How you gonna fire me if I already quit!?
How you gonna fire me with a face full of shit!?
How you gonna fire me if I already quit!?
I'm just gonna fire you with the heat of this hit!
No two week notice just a hand full of shit!
Solidify you died with the scent of a smack
Made your toes lift up and your spine bent back!

Shitty hands, vengeance, Handcuffs and prison cells
I guess that was my final boss but now i shit wherever with no farewells

No farewells
No farewells!

On Company Time

Lyrics 

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I guess I gotta take a chance
I guess I gotta take a chance

Something's got to give
Something's gotta give
Something's got to give
Someone’s gotta give

I'm so tired

What I want to do I do not do
What I want to do I do not do
What I want to do i do not do
What I want to do I do not do

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I guess I gotta take a chance
I guess I gotta take a chance

Something's got to give
Something's gotta give
Something's got to give
Someone’s gotta give

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired

What I want to do I do not do
What I want to do I do not do
What I want to do i do not do
What I want to do I do not do

What I Want To Do I Do Not Do

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar and additio0nal mastering
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Squier Custom Telecaster electric guitar processed through a Line 6 interface to sound like a synth, mix, and production
Eclectic Collective -- composition
This song started around the New Year holiday, when Josh was playing around with a looper beat on his bass. He came up with the bass line and structure for it before turning it over the the rest of the Eclectic Collective to work with. 
  Ken was first up, giving the beat its due as a real drummer, and making it his own, expertly, as always. JJ was up next with his dynamic, lush organ, propping up the groove and adding sonic flavor throughout. Stephen came through after JJ with his foundatoinal, gritty, groovy guitar. It was sitting there ripe for a melody at this point, so Josh heard and added a melody vaguely inspired by the Simpson's theme and added it with his electric guitar. Tez wrapped the whole thing up with the exciting "synth" part you hear in the middle with his custom Tele, which he processes through a Line 6 interface.
  Once it was in the bag, Tez did the honors of producing and mixing it for us, and he did so exactly as we wanted it.
  This is an example of a song Josh started with a groove and set loose on the rest of the band. It is also a good example of what happens when we're all moving towards the same vision. We hope you enjoy hearing this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

I was angry, because I couldn't play this beautiful piece, because I'm lefthanded but hold the guitar as righthanded. So I'm happy to present this. With many thanks to Don for the link to the midi.
