I can see the world around 
locked in silence not a sound
to say i love you would be cruel
you stand there staring at me 
like a fool
i love you hate you feel you come inside you 
squeeze you tell the world youve died youve
run youve fled to the unknown
i turn you to stone ..i turn you to stone

something breaks inside my head
feel the snap.
cuts me down ...
inside i ache for something new
all this time i bleed for you

i stone you bruise you 
make me want to use you 
burn you freeze you fuck you kill you
crying into the unkown
i turn you to stone

im not drowning 
im just drinking 
im sleepwalking
did you think youd be the one...to wake me
did you think youd be the one to wake me up?

Sleepwalking- purpleclairexHOBOCOP

Cast of characters: 

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, sitar, mix, mastering, and production

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, electric piano, and synth

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

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 

 This song is the brainchild of Artur, who composed it on his guitar perfectly for collaboration, and presented it to us with his vision for the entire sound. Ken went first, of course, adding his signature rocking beat to the song. Josh went next, as soon as Ken had laid down the drums, adding his four string fretless bass sound to fill out the rhythm section. 
  Tez came along soon after, adding some foundational ornamentation with his guitar. JJ jumped in right after Tez, and laid in the majestic organ, riffing electric piano, and subtle synth you hear throughout. Finally, Stephen laid his guitar in there, too, which can be heard as a fiery melodic line running throughout. At Artur's suggestion, he also added some amazing, trippy sitar in a couple of spots, too.
  Once all the tracks were laid down, Stephen came through with his always skillful mix. This makes almost an album worth of material that The Eclectic Collective has created from Artur's ideas. We're always excited when he drops a new one in our laps. He wrote this on a sweet rainy day in the Polish summer. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
  
  We all appreciate your support, and encourage you to share this song if you've read the whole way down to the bottom here

Sweet Rainy Day-Eclectic Collective

Cast of Characters:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – foundational acoustic and electric guitars, distorted electric guitar, and the seed idea

Mistermark – @user-432503709 – Mark – vocals, lyrics, high organ, toy piano, percussion, sound effects, production, editing, mix

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– 5-string banjo solo, electric guitar

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- low organ, piano, synth flute, sound effects

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began its life as a hauntingly exquisite guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also stacked a couple of other guitar tracks in there for good measure. 

Ken was first up, adding his drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. 

Mark came in around the same time, though, and added his unique, Waitsian vocals with the lyrics that he wrote for it, too. He also added some really amazing organ parts, a toy piano which you can hear right after the banjo solo, and percussion that add a solid foundation for his voice and add magic throughout the song. 

Stephen followed shortly after with the big stroke guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear in there, too. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his organ and electric piano to seal the deal with the melodies and ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool sound effects you hear throughout, too.

  Every great song needs a great producer, and Mark filled the duty on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team.

  This one is an homage to Tom Waits in a deliberate way. We're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
A little like a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hangin’ it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone

Me and Bill rolling bones in a gambling hall 
I threw snake eyes but Bill counted three
I took his accusation just a little too far 
Then everybody went quiet as they stared at me

Now the finger bone’s connected to the trigger
And the hand bone’s connected to me
And every day my secret’s gettin’ bigger
Soon enough I’ll be swinging from a tree

Coz I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
I done made a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hiding it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone
(repeat)

Bones - (Eclectic Collective)

[I had fun in singing a part of this]

The generative artificial intelligence music creation programs offer a tendentially endless amount of musical ‘styles’ from which to choose for the song one wishes to generate. Here the subject of the song is surreal and improbable, and obviously forces the ‘songwriter’ to ask himself which 'style' would be the better to use ...

Anyway, the book really exists:https://www.amazon.it/Why-Doesnt-Pizza-Grow-Trees/dp/0692535985/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_it_IT=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=2JO95QEX179BB&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.abs6Fp6MQblRCjyXZbwu_w.PEJ8cBuMNRVpBW-FEz1OmGd7Yu3wT6eUce3gh88AmYg&dib_tag=se&keywords=Why+doesn%27t+the+pizza+grow+on+trees&qid=1725551030&sprefix=why+doesn%27t+the+pizza+grow+on+trees,aps,95&sr=8-1

I would like to write a song on this theme:
Why doesn't pizza grow on trees?
It was the title of a book I saw on Amazon
I took note, seems a dream of times long gone
At this point the problem is very simple
a song about such a deep topic
cannot be solved with a sleazy jingle
AI offers me so many chances, something exotic

"so tell me which is the cut that you prefer
these are all the specialities of your coiffeur:
portuguese barbershop,
afro house dembow
alternative r&b dembow
kawaii future bass
mandarin drum and bass
metal grunge, coptic grunge
choral bedroom pop
dark electro-pop
dreamy acoustic rock
hindi acoustic rock
appalachian folk
anti-folk
grunge african folk".

it is very difficult to choose in all this goodness
I could change the theme of the song
and give it an extra touch of sweetness
why doesn't chocolate-pizza too on the trees grow?
But even then you have to choose a kind of music.
I'm not someone who likes to improvise
or rely on fate, bets, luck, and this is not a cube of Rubik
I would like to get good advice
from someone who has already experienced this game
but to ask a songwriter would be a blamed shame

"so tell me which is the cut that you prefer
these are all the specialities of your coiffeur:
garage tango,
grime tango,
arabic ambient techno
acid techno
delta blues house
urdu house
afro-cuban jazz crunk
crunk punk
egyptian flamenco
surf flamenco
acoustic blues slushwave
breakstep synthwave
surf acoustic blues
bengali swamp blues
dreamy bubblegum dance
mexican dance
dark goa trance
hypnagogic ambient trance
soulful acid trance".

I am very undecided
too many options, it's a hard-discount
which one of these did better sound?
I need to talk to an expert about
to a musician futurist
to a psychoanalyst
to an exorcist
to an artificial intelligentist
to the Unicef
to a pizza chef

OUTSIDE THE BOX THAT'S OUTSIDE ALL THE BOXES

[LYRICS]

got the worst of it today
got the call from the back of my head with 
another hip-shot 
shameful display
why can't it all be camp?
they like to sully the names of our heroes
if i supply the nails
when you gonna come 
pound them into my palms?

if you hear the voice of rage:
COMMIT.

they want you muzzled and isolated 
will you bow down and comply
or come seek us out?
evil consumes us as good men do nothing
give me venom
i'll be your weapon

what a wretched man that i am
who will free me from this body of death?
i won't be your judas failing and nailing him back up
what a wretched world
full of wretched people
how they love the lie: 
we are all created equal

obfuscate my core beliefs
time justifies my rage
everyone: 
a mechanical emerald cut in the shape of God's love
you want to save the world?
maybe that makes you evil
i want to help the basilisk purge the cancer disguised as people

my country is in need of:
righteous reckoning.

they want you muzzled and isolated 
will you bow down and comply
or come seek us out?
evil consumes us as good men do nothing
give me venom
i'll be your weapon

what a wretched man that i am
who will free me from this body of death?
i won't be your judas failing and nailing him back up
what a wretched world
full of wretched people
how they love the lie:
we are all created equal

vox irae

give us an audience 
let me light them up

we are beckoning 
get behind us

vox irae

Tracks uploaded here are mostly unfinished since I can't do vocals/lyrics.  So if there are any vocalists/songwriters out there that want to work on anything let me know.  I would also be interested in joining/forming a band, if anyone needs a guitarist that does whatever it is that I do.

everything is a work in progress
