Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Met her on Tinder knowing it won't last, but shit...
Still wasted nights talking 'bout Harry Styles
And well, I think that in her mind she thought I'd do for a fine lookalike

[Verse 2]
I wasn't mad about it, not at all 'cause hey...
She's something of a Kylie Jenner's clone
And in my head, I thought I'm lucky as hell
So gotta play that one well...
(Right?)

[Verse 3]
I tried to check on her like once in a while, but yeah...
I still forgot about her after all
And now she hates me more than my fucked up ex
Don't even check on my texts...

[Hook]
Lady, you are always on my mind
Lately I would love to get you back
If you'd want me back in time

[Verse 4]
I beg your pardon if I did you wrong miss
You wouldn't guess, but guess I miss your voice
And want to get rid of this stereotype that I'm a dick all the time

[Verse 5]
So I would love to catch you at a café that you...
You used to sit in after your heavy days
My mommy issues make you something I need
You're like my favourite pill

[Bridge]
Oh
Lady, you gotta save me
You gotta take me back
No way you're letting me down
(Lately I would love to get you)
Lady, you gotta save me
You gotta take me back
No way you're letting me down
(One, two, three and four...)
Oh Lady, you gotta save me
You gotta take me back
No way you're letting me down
(You gotta, you gotta, you gotta)
Oh Lady, you gotta save me
You gotta take me back
No way you're letting me down
(No way you,re letting me down, down down, down)
Lady, you gotta save me
You gotta take me back
No way you're letting me down
(You gotta, gotta, gotta take me back)
Lady, you gotta save me
You gotta take me back
No way you're letting me down
(Lately I would love to get you)

“Join The Good Fight”

Women and children first
It’s the wail of the siren’s call 
Hide in the secret 
passageways 
Built inside the walls

Stand up strong against these 
foreign invaders
Don’t know if these barriers hold
Believe and speak of better days
This will feed our souls

How long have we waited
How dark is the night
Give us the power for persuading
The world to join the good fight  

Violence unabated 
What are the children to learn
History repeating 
Watch the world as it burns

Red rain from the sky
Run when you must
Red rain on the sidewalk
Turning our homes into dust

CHORUS

Standing strong
We will make it
These barriers will hold
We believe in happier days
Believe it deep in our souls

How long we waited
But there is light in the night
Given our power for persuading
The world has joined the good fight  

And just now 
It’s almost over
It’s the relief
That’s in sight
And once
 it’s really over
Will we learn this time

Join The Good Fight

A simple tribute to the four seasons of the year, reminding us of their wonderful aspects, such as the sound of fallen leaves or birdsongs, but also storms and terrible forest fires.

Find...  What?, Exactly

On a personal note, working with this group of fine fellows is joy and a continuing learning experience for me. The original basic piano melody here has gone through several 're-births', appearing in a number of my other songs. But this version with the EC gang is definitely the most... recent   ;)
Kidding. 
It's actually like a totally different piece of music, where these guys flexed their masterful musical muscles to take it to a place I would never have imagined on my own! Fantastic job guys, really. 

These are a couple other versions based on the main piano theme:

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark—electric piano, composition
Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and primary vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –organ, synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion, arrangement, production, mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass guitar, lap steel 
This was brought to us by Mark, who had written it a while back, but wanted to dust it off and give the Eclectic Collective a shot at it. He recorded it with a keen eye toward collaboration with an electric piano synth with heavy stereo tremolo. We just recently found Mark, and he has proven to be a very creative, passionate, and easy to work with collaborator—all the good things. 
  Mark set it loose to Josh first, who of course got Ken in on the act before anything else could transpire. After Ken added his wildly creative, very skillful drum beat, Josh was able to come up with a suitable bass line. He also came up with the lap slide part you hear with the heavy tremolo. Then they turned it over to Stephen, who added a very psychedelic, electrifying solo at the end. Also, JJ set upon it with a very hooky organ. 
  Last, but certainly not least, MD came up with the lyrics, which are a metaphor for trying to break into the business of music, and delivered his fiery vocals, too. Then, we all realized that the song wasn't long enough for our ambitions, so Ken came up with an idea for the arrangement, and lengthened the song to suit our needs. He also very ably mixed and produced this one for us. We had a lot of fun working on Mark's tune. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Lyrics (by The Mysterious Decibel):
 
Sometimes when we shout they can't hear us under the flow
Of the rapids

I'm screaming from the other side of the river
A shot to try
can you hear me?
I'm jumping in and swimming straight to you

All I can say is I tried
I tried and I met my own waterfall
A short way down
Did I try hard enough?
Cuz I hit the rocks below just hard enough
To hibernate me without a care
It's all just business and never fair

This track is a collaboration with Masha @masha-solo the vocalist of Archmage Band @archmageband2 After creating a section arranged by her for the instrumental, I continued with other sections, and after completing the instrumental, she added the vocal melody to finish it.

'Writer's Block'

On a dark, cold, and rainy night
I drank a hot coffee and prepared to write
Hoping to finish more scenes of a novel tonight,
It was almost too complex, and very hard to get it right

I felt that my thoughts were scatterbrained,
And that the scene did not make sense,
I wrote it and rewrote it,
But I might have been too tense,

I thought my script was just a mess
I felt that it was better, when I had written less

This scene was just eluding me
This scene was just eluding me
I wanted to express my thoughts creatively,
I wanted to express my thoughts creatively,

I felt that my thoughts were scatterbrained,
And that the scene did not make sense,
I wrote it and rewrote it,
But I might have been too tense,

This scene was just eluding me
I wanted to express my thoughts creatively
That doesn't always happen easily
Yeah, it doesn't always happen easily

Of how I saw it in my mind
I can do better,
I told myself
I'll just start over,
I'll just put this script back on the shelf,
Another try, another day,
Pick up the notebook and the pen
And try again,
And try again,
I'll try again,
I'll try again

I got quite sad about my writer's block
At least you were there for me to have a talk
You cheered me up, perhaps another day I can try again,
Another try, another day, pick up the notebook and the pen
I got quite sad about my writer's block
At least you were there for me to have a talk

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..

Sand Castles Under Siege

It all actually started when I was a kid y'know. I was living in that small town and all. Everyone was planting carrots there and had fun with it. I didn’t want to plant no carrot so I started making music.
So here I am in my 20’s with my 20 listeners...
I'm doing just fine.

Have you listened to Idyll? That EP is chill AF. I like it 'cause I haven't spent a penny on it, but then there's Tender Funk man...
I paid for the trumpets and the choir and thank god my boys from "the band" ain't getting shit out of it 'cause I would be even more broke than I am.
So if you're asking me if this whole music thing is worth it, I'ma tell you boy it's not an "Idyll" ha ha. (Damn I'm funny)

Anyway, if you're still reading this go on and listen to Stupid Fucking Playground I'm getting kinda emotional on that one, so you can read the lyrics and then text me on IG to check out if I'm good...
I got other songs too, like Benefit Friend or Second Choice - DEMO folks like them because people like to listen about other people having sex... you pervs.

FOLLOW ME FOR MORE INTERESTING CONTENT
I have my own page on Facebook and I don't post there much... but then there's my IG on which I post music that I'm currently listening to... SO MUCH FUN!
I have my YT channel where you can watch two music videos. I paid a lot of money for the "Christmas Song" one so I would be more than glad if you'd be so kind to watch it at least once. It's in 4K and all cool stuff.
