For some reason, I am feeling much better about my own circumstances…. A haunting melody with real emotions, life is not always a joyful dance!  I like your vocals, how they match the theme.

A very sad song David, hope all is well with you….

Good to hear from you David  -- a bit dark - hope all is well with you my friend  !!

Dude, dark. That being said, certainly not something I haven't felt in my time!

Really like the open and frank expressiveness of this David. Reminded me of a similar situation where 2 friends wanted me to jam, I was so down, sat in a corner and played so softly, they didn't know what to make of it. I did though.

Hmmm.  Well, I read the comments and your responses, David. This is what I think. This is brilliant. Anyone with a soul can connect to this. If this reflects where you're at, then shout it out - sod the number of plays and likes - heart is what matters - Waits, Cave, ....Hutton.... Lyrics? - sublime. Delivery?  Of the essence.   It's not often I have a hand burst into my chest and rip my heart out.  Yours did.

Recorded in 1971 by Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan.

Lyrics:

So I, light the fire in the stone
Lead it out, beyond the forests and the roads 

And I let fools run into my mind 
Beyond the pillars of the Fortress that is mine

So I say go, leave it alone
Take the flowers,
Take the stone,
And I will grow alone

So I, call the actor to the throne, 
Let them lie, and keep the diamonds for their own 

They couldn’t rest, until they reaped what I had sown 
Another day, without the harvest I had grown 

And I let fools run into my mind, 
Beyond the pillars of the Fortress that is mine

So I say go, leave it alone
Take the flowers,
Take the stone,
And I will grow alone

So I, light the fire in the stone, 
Lead it out, beyond the forests and the roads

Fortress

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, and seed idea
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar, production, and mix
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass and synth theremin
The Eclectic Collective -- composition

This song began, as so many of ours do, with JJ coming up with the skeleton of it on his electric piano, organ, and synth during one of his Saturday night jam sessions. He originally laid down a bass line for it, too, which might be better than what I came up with, But he was kind enough to let me in on it, too, adding my four string fretless bass on top of Ken's intricate, lively drums.
  Once the rhythm section was complete, it was time for Stephen and Tez to add their guitar magic to the mix, too. They both laid down some thrilling guitar lines throughout. Lastly, I added the spooky synth theremin you hear throughout.
  When it was all finished and in the can, we asked Stephen to mix it for us, which he did in a professional manner. He also added the creepy sound effects you hear throughout, as well. 
  This song is an example of how the Eclectic Collective can take a idea from one of us, and make it grow into a monster. Speaking of monsters, we decided to release this a day early to coincide with the holiday. Happy Halloween from The Eclectic Collective! We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

he told me bout the trail in the tunnel
that I'm walking while
I'm thinking other people's thoughts
little voices
like your father's father's father's
farther than the others
all combined and confined to a tunnel of your thinkin
turn that little voice off in your head
he said


you may find it advantageous
in the long run
there's an exit but you gotta take it
while riding on the boxcars full of other people's junk
pulled by trains of thought
on shaky rails

'imprvisioned' 
another sleepless night that led to something live on my phone.

I can't imagine a world without you,
so now I know exactly what you felt
when you watched your folks a-growin'
beyond ages unbeknown
and inevitably faced the card we're dealt.

That we all live for dyin'; always trumps our best at tryin'
to cheat aging through fad diets and regimes.
But, I'm no longer lyin' to myself, and quite compliant, 
with defiant habits that will soon kill me.

Because without being with them, I'll have lost all of their wisdom 
of which typically flew right over my head.
And I wish I could've listened and embraced their larger vision, yet now I'm just wishin' I was the one dead.

This one is about the times we're in and trying to find ways to handle them without getting sucked under. I mean, things are bad enough without people writing depressing songs about how bad things are... I heard some good advice about finding a place for the despair and not letting it consume you, so that's in here. As well as working together, music, and thinking about what comes after this - it might be good, right? Hopefully we'll still have arpeggiators 🤞

-----------------------------

Keep despair in a corner of your heart
Then you can live
Or at least make a start

Pull me up in the boat
We'll sing a song of hope
Until this ends

I never wanted to sign up
Industrial Death Cult and me
I'd like to see what comes next

Keep Despair In A Corner Of Your Heart

Recorded with no sense of quality control

I AM LOST

I am lost, 
staring into a void,
Fingers twitching, 
voices ranting, endlessly annoyed.

I am lost,
Can't seem to get a single thing done.
Mind is empty—
Nothing, no one.

Will I be found, alive or drowned?
Secrets scattered all over the floor,
An empty room
 behind an open door.

I am lost,
Lost yet in plain sight.
Heart still beating,
Moving slowly—takes all my might.

Older, fatter, dim-witted, and a bore,
I am lost,
Can't go on anymore.


I am lost
