A collection of alternative music style tracks from various Soundcloud users with some 'green' vibes to them, if you get my drift.

Mood Cake (green recipe)

Another month and another wave of creativity from the Artists on TGS Records. TGS records is a group of people that met through The Guitar Social and support each other in the writing, recording and distribution of original music. What started as a lock down project is now morphing into a project that uses the internet at its best and results in real life, on stage performances and collaborations. I love these songs, I love the project and in many ways, TGS Records demonstrates perfectly what the Guitar Social is about. Well done guys x

Footprints

I'm broken...I'm broken.
I wasn't there for you. 
I didn't care for you.
At least that's what you said.
And now, I pick the wound, I find it hard to hide my contempt for you.
I'm broken...I'm broken.
I contain my disdain.
I revel in your pain.
The memory remains...the longing that I feel.
My contempt for you...
Did I twist your psyche?
Did I break your heart?
I revel in your pain, and now I'm broken.

Second Sight

Broken

Sometimes you feel like your in a dense fog.
Not recognizing time or day.
Hours seem to pass within a wink of an eye.
Depression?
Age?
We all go through changes as one grows older.
My true hope is that I do this with dignity and grace.

My thanks to Yamaha for the drums,
And to my Buddy, Mike Gabriel for mastering this track I am lucky to call you my Friend.
 Played on Roland XP80

Brain Fog

A dark and melancholy track, inspired by Portishead among others.  

---------------------------------------------------
I'm getting tired, so tired
of reading between too many lines.
Just forget the world outside,
I'll play with the fragments recombined

In my mind, left behind.
Apologies pushed to one side.
Good intentions undermined,
I'll play with these notions undefined.

What did you mean?
What did you really mean?

But if your heart was mine
somewhere, sometime.
But if your heart was mine
somehow unkind.
What did you mean?
What did you really mean?

I'm getting tired, so tired
of all those chances slipped behind.
Repositioned one more time,
I'll play with the fragments swept aside.

What did you mean?
What did you really mean?

But if your heart was mine
somewhere, sometime.
But if your heart was mine
somehow unkind.
What did you mean?
What did you really mean?

Fragments and Shadows

Losing my invisibility outside The Landsdowne in Primrose Hill

Cool Old Man

Incoherent raving multicoloured on the walls
Cries for help that no-one hears above their own fall
Stained grey stones and broken bones, ignore every shout
Shuttered lives, sharpened knives, where’s the way out?

Seems like it’s there,
A nobody, in a place you don’t know.
But this is here,
A somebody, in the place you call home

Come on and show me
What you embody
Don’t say you’re sorry
If you always will be
Wake up! ...
… this is not a drill

Peeling paint, a silent taint, behind every door
Stumbling round in broken shells, can’t fight any more
Walking past, broken glass, the shards in my mind
Black marks from my boots upon the pavement left behind

Seems like it’s there,
A nobody, in a place you don’t know.
But this is here,
A somebody, in the place you call home

Come on and show me
What you embody
Don’t say you’re sorry
If you always will be
Wake up! ...
… this is not a drill

Named after Nick’s childhood imaginary friend, Eleanor Collides started life as a lockdown project in March of 2021 when a group of London based musicians got together to support each other in writing, recording and releasing music. Named The MusiCollective, this group has produced acts such as Pisgah, Colin Tyler, Corporate Drone and Lucoline

'People Are Taller in Real Life',  the debut album by Eleanor Collides, falls somewhere between Indie, Alternative Rock and Dream Pop. On this album Nick draws on a wide range of influences from the 90s alt-rock of Alice In Chains and Hole, British Indie bands such as Manic Street Preachers and Depeche Mode's moody synth pop
