Truly excellent song, Didier, so ably assisted by The Collective.  Love your voice, which sounds remarkably like that of Ray Davies - and I mean that as the highest of compliments!

Another unpretentious pop song. I kind of like the chorus and the instrumental bridge. It should be shorter, but it came out that way, with an extra minute.

This song began with Didier coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. However, when he first sent it to Josh, he had played electric guitar, bass, keys, and drums on it, because he is a very talented multi-intrumentalist. This song passes the stool test, though, which is the question of whether it sounds good with someone just sitting on a stool with a guitar, playing and singing it. So, when we asked him to give us a version that we could add to, it was already a great song that he sent us with just him singing over his acoustic guitar.
Tez was the first one up on this one, adding the fiery fills throughout, as well as the co-solo at the end. Ken entered the fray next, adding his rock solid, dynamic drums. Once the drums were down giving him something to play against, Josh added his fretless bass to the song. Being very excited about this one, he also added piano, organ, and eventually the lead guitar solo at the end. He also went in and added all the vocal harmonies throughout. Stephen then brought up the rear with some really cool textural guitar throughout.
Once we had it in the bag, we asked Tez to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his usual expert fashion.
This is our first song with Didier, but we hope it's just the beginning of his new inclusion into the Eclectic Collective family. He has a lot of great music on his page, which is worth checking out, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Didier Burli:
I wish I could stay awake but I need to sleep
Thunder is on it's way but I don't hear it
I don't fear the ghouls, and I don't fear the creeps
And with this dancing zombie, I don't know what to do with it
And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does, that makes you want throw up

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does that makes you want dream of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that makes you scared of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that mankind lost

And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

I was sitting around by myself just got to thinking about when I was a kid and the things me and my best friend used to get up to and it occurred to me that through all the years of crazy shit we used to get into from experimenting with drugs to fighting in bars and wrecking cars, we were never dishonest and never took advantage or lied to anyone to get what we wanted.  My best friend would get onto me or anyone else who said "G-dammit" or spoke against God in any way at all. That's just something we didn't do but it was something that was left unspoken but was expected not to be said around us, a token of respect that was not broken. It seemed kind of bass ackwards when comparing it to the things we were doing at the time, but the things we were doing never involved hurting another person, without justification, which was easy enough to get at most of the places we would hang out. Damn I  miss being young and wild and I'm sure my buddy does too, don't you Randy?

lie down and listen

A call to SoundCloud to actually operate with content on their servers like they say they want to. The reality is very different and in my view just shows they exist for maximum profit like the rest of streaming platforms and not for the good of music

The Darkening Cloud (Poem and Notes)

Basically, most of the things people worry about never happen anyway. Nobody’s here forever, why waste your time here fretting about the little things? Just let the troubles wash over you, and focus on what’s important. You’ll get it one day, one way or another.

Life Goes On

Together

This is music driven by the belief that the future lies in staying close to what we consume—created by people who love what they do. Just as I love creating music, recorded at home in a small room. With 30 years of experience, I’m proud to have played with Honey for Petzi (@honeyforpetzi), Tierra y semilla latins vibes (www.youtube.com/@suavemente62/videos), prog-jazzy 70’s Aptao (@aptao), Indy 1984 / BioCop (https://soundcloud.com/1984fanclub) and have shook Kim Gordon’s hands. I like to listen to different style of music and will be happy to listen / collaborate. Feel free to contact me on soundcloud.
