When you’re brainstorming ideas for album covers, you never really think they might involve placing yourselves in the middle of a road as traffic bears down on you.  However, that is precisely what we did.
Now I’m not one to tell tales but it was all Gal’s fault.  He thought our front cover  should feature an image of the entire band, which was quite compelling aside from the fact that we lived in London, Hans in Hamburg and have in reality never met.  But Gal had a mate called Dan (who lives in Norfolk, hence the title), a professional photographer whose comprehensive knowledge of Photoshop could bring the three of us together.
We’d always loved the pre-fame, Astrid Kirchherr portraits of The Beatles, taken during their club-playing, Hamburg days and two of these became our template - in focus subject occupying the foreground, covert and blurred figure (in our case, 2  figures) in the distance.
And so it was that, armed with a pin-sharp shot of Hans, we met with Dan to photograph the background scene which, as outlined previously, was in the middle of a busy side road.  Camera in hand, Dan teetered on a plastic crate as Gal and me  dodged back and forth to avoid a plethora of oncoming vehicles - everything from lorries to mobility scooters - who were, on the whole, very accommodating in the circumstances. Some even smiled and waved - at least I think that’s what they were doing…
We owe Dan so much, not only for his consummate skills and kindness but also for laying his life on the line in the name of art.  This song is for him.  (Terry Reeves)

I met a man called Dan holding a magical light
Viewing future moments, giving individual sight
Shadows from Hamburg, combination of skills
Show London reflection of a figure standing still

Chorus:
A flash of light, picture to follow
In black & white, diverse as tomorrow

Stand high in right places, enchanted vision of art
Friend of ageing musicians, sorcery skills from the heart
A Wizard conjuring cover, Kirchherr’s copy of claim
Painting light into a picture, producing Album in frame

Chorus

Viewing from height - sparks of vision
Seeing it tight - artist precision
Know left from right - avoid collision
Negative in sight - develop position

Chorus

Confidence in commitment, enjoying musical tracks
Working four to an image, platinum vinyl plaque 
Black and white cover photo, a clue why, when and who
Monochrome life connections, enjoy vision past to new

Chorus

A feeling it’s time to give a show
A feeling making history grow
A feeling, a feeling only one way to go
A feeling thinking fast going slow
A feeling Duchars photos will glow
A feeling CC one day will all know

in November

By the early dew
and the morning new
Let's play serious
By the crack of dawn
and the early yawn
We´re born

By the sea-shore breeze
and the things to ease
Let's play serious
By the warming sun
and the loaded gun
on the run

Let's play serious
with our eyes
Let's play serious
and be tight
Let's play serious
frivolous
dangerous
adventurous
Angel of ...

By Her Lioness
and her claw's caress
Let's play serious
For the ties professed
and the words confessed
We're blessed

By the Goddess Moon
and the month of June
Let's play serious 
By Venus and Mars
and a billion stars
Stars

Let's play serious
with our eyes
Let's play serious
and be tight
Let's play serious
frivolous
dangerous
adventurous
Angel of ...

For the times to heal
and the place to kneel
Let's play serious
for the summerrain
and the endless pain
We're sane

For the songs of love
and the things to come
Let's play serious 
in the clear blue night
and the feeling's right
We're tight

Let's play serious
with our eyes
Let's play serious
and be tight
Let's play serious
frivolous
dangerous
adventurous
Angel of ...

And for the times we falter
and for the thing to alter
Let's play
And from the crippled maybe
to forever, baby
Let's play
And for the record's spinning
and our bodies sinning
Let's play
And for the sounds of laughter
and forever after
Let's play
and for our bones decaying
and the words we're saying
Let's play

Lets Play Serious

Let's play serious

I Am The Void

**SoundCloud Description: Save Planet Earth from Global Warming**  

The clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher. Our planet is in crisis, and global warming is the greatest threat we face. This isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a fight for our survival. The Earth is our home, and it’s burning. Rising temperatures, melting ice caps, devastating wildfires, and catastrophic storms are no longer distant warnings—they’re our reality. If we don’t act now, we risk losing everything. This is a call to action. We must save Planet Earth before it’s too late.  

The science is clear. Human activity—burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial pollution—is driving climate change at an unprecedented rate. The Earth’s temperature is rising faster than ever, and the consequences are dire. Sea levels are rising, threatening coastal cities and communities. Species are going extinct at an alarming rate. Crops are failing, and water is becoming scarce. This isn’t a problem for future generations to solve—it’s happening right now, and it’s on us to fix it.  

But here’s the thing: we still have time. We still have the power to change the course of history. But we need to act fast, and we need to act together. This isn’t about politics or profit—it’s about survival. It’s about protecting the only home we have. As the great environmentalist Jane Goodall once said, *“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”* Every action counts. Every voice matters.  

We need to demand change from our leaders. Governments and corporations must prioritize renewable energy, invest in sustainable practices, and commit to reducing carbon emissions. But change starts with us. We can make a difference in our daily lives—by reducing waste, conserving energy, supporting eco-friendly businesses, and holding those in power accountable. As Greta Thunberg said, *“No one is too small to make a difference.”*  

The fight against global warming is also a fight for justice. The communities hit hardest by climate change are often those who have contributed the least to the problem. Low-income neighborhoods, indigenous peoples, and developing nations are bearing the brunt of the crisis. We must stand with them, amplify their voices, and ensure that the solutions we pursue are equitable and inclusive.  

This is our moment to rise up and protect the planet. We owe it to ourselves, to future generations, and to every living creature that calls Earth home. As the poet Wendell Berry said, *“The Earth is what we all have in common.”* It’s our shared responsibility to safeguard it.  

So let’s get to work. Let’s plant trees, clean up our oceans, and push for policies that prioritize the planet over profit. Let’s educate ourselves and others, and inspire action in every corner of the globe. Let’s show the world that we care, that we’re willing to fight, and that we won’t back down.  

The time to act is now. The Earth is crying out for help, and we must answer the call. Together, we can turn the tide. Together, we can save our planet.

Café of Broken Dreams.

My last date was a disaster.
He was late – with a shitty blaster.
He then said flatly: "You look different!"
Yeah, sorry, Photoshop doesn't live in the house.
I'm sick of Tinder and the like.
Then those guys are nice, but my sofa is happy.
Because instead of freezing in a café with him,
I can serve myself a burger!

I only date myself now – I'm simply perfect.
I bring myself flowers and pay directly!
I listen to myself without rolling my eyes,
and I'll definitely never ghost myself!

Movie? Sure, I'll treat myself,
popcorn deluxe – and all by myself.
No one whispering: "What's going on?"
I tell myself – I'm not short on cash!

No more drama, no more "Where are you?"
I text myself: "Baby, rest, you!"
And if I ever have an argument, all with myself,
I quickly make up – with a bottle of wine!
I don't need a man to be happy,
because I can even forgive my heating.
I make myself breakfast, and guess what,
I even eat the last waffle – no matter!

I only date myself – because no one is better,
I write myself poems and cuddle nicer!
And if anyone can ever impress me,
it's only if they cook – and can run the dishwasher!

Ich date nur noch mich.m4a

I Don't Wannabe (Your 51st State) - Pop/Rock Version

Mr. President, a moment if you please
We used to be like brothers now you're coming after me
Mm-hmm we fought together, died together too
And I can't believe this nightmare is all because of you
So let me say to USA as nicely as I can
To leave it along and let us just be friends
Talkin' 'bout my home, my true North, Strong & Free
And like the song says, baby, We Stand On Guard for Thee

I don't
I don't wanna
Don't wannabe
I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I don't
I don't wanna
Don't wannabe
Don't wannabe your 51st state now

Friends like us gotta find a way
To make things right for the USA
Friends and family across the border
It's elbows up when we get in the corner
Where we live is happy home
Reaching for something that ain't your own
We understand you want to grow
Our advice, just leave it alone

I don't
I don't wanna
Don't wannabe
I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I don't
I don't wanna
Don't wanna
Don't wannabe your 51st state now

Lyrics:

Back when the days stretched slow and wide,
Barefoot dreams by the riverside,
Laughter danced on a softer breeze,
No weight, no rush, just you and I.

The world was small, the colors bright,
Love was a spark in the velvet night,
We lost that rhythm, but it’s not gone,
I hear it hum in a faded song.

Oh, we could find it, that sweet, slow tune,
Under the glow of a harvest moon,
Simple and wild, like it used to be,
A little bit of you, a little bit of me.

No screens to steal the hours away,
Just tangled hands and a summer day,
The drama slept, the noise was thin,
No weight, no rush, just you and I.

Maybe it’s waiting, just out of sight,
A spark to chase through the restless night,
We’ll strip it down, let the chaos fade,
Build it back with the plans we made.

Oh, we could find it, that sweet, slow tune,
Under the glow of a harvest moon,
Simple and wild, like it used to be,
A little bit of you, a little bit of me.

Andy Mineo Ft Lecrae VS Young Thug (Dramantic Remix)

Cast of characters:
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — VST orchestration, vocals, lyrics, and compostion
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums, percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Fender Precion four-string fretted bass, and Roland Phantom synthesizer
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T model electric guitar
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST string arrangement
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitrar, mix, and production

 This song began as a musical letter written, composed, and sung by Carl to Eclectic Collective. Carl and Josh had been sniffing around each other's pages, admiring each other's work and collaborators. So Carl reached out with this friendly, uplifting song, as a gift to the band. 
  Ken was first in line, adding his awesome, driving drums to give us a heartbeat to build upon. Josh came along next and completed the rhythm section with his trusty four-string fretless bass. Stephen was next up to bat, adding his dynamic raspy guitar, which almost sounds like an electrified fiddle. Next up, Mark followed with his trippy synth and powerful strings to add to Carl's original composition. 
  We had it pretty much done sounding, but wanted to spice it up a bit, so we came up with the idea for a coda. Josh added his bass and synth for it, and Tez came up with the thrilling guitar part of it, as well. Tez also added the thrilling guitar intro, too. 
  Once it was in the can, we asked Tez to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion.
  This is the first song EC has done with Carl, but we know it won't be the last. We all admire him for his creativity, proficiency, and prolificacy. His page is worth a stroll, too, as it contains a lot of gems.
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark: 

Hey Collective Seeds,

Let's work things out across that water
There's a cable under sea,
We can send all sorts of...
Music/Words/Sounds - It's insane!
Look Lads,
That's life in the fastlane!

So it's ones and zeros
Mine and yours and theres
We are all heroes...

Watching the fire,
From a distance we're warm
But not from their mire,
From this musical charm.
It's a bonfire,
An inferno.
Earth got plenty to turn off...

So we can sing to love
And we can play for more dove.
Let's combine our powers. Collective!
A Paddy/Yankee toasted sandwich

Tex festival streak
Psyched for more free
K2 to peak
Mistermark chimes ' found life fought
Give, You Entheogenic Psychonaught
Collective lands
Psyched for more free

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Fender Precision bass and high synthesizer


This song began a few months ago as an idea Ken had to make the quintessential Gen X song. He structured the chords, beat to appeal to anyone of a certain age group, of which most of the folks in the band are a part. He even played wrote it on his acoustic guitar and came up with the vocal melody, which Gaz put a shine on for the final version. Once he had the form of the song down, he tapped the incredibly talented Joseph Shenton to write the lyrics. Gaz not only superbly sung four part harmonies for this, but the came up with the lyrics for the break parts, too. 

  When he first envisioned it, Ken thought it would be fun to invite as many musicians as we could onto it. However, for whatever reason, it stalled out and sat untouched for a couple months, with just Stephen's foundational guitar, Scotty's thrilling guitar intro, Terry's lush, low end synth, and Josh's bass to hold it down. Then, Ken had the great idea to invite Gaz to sing it for us. His awesome vocal track inspired us to heat up the kiln again, and put some real effort into bringing it to life. On that note, Josh redid his bass part to match Ken's rocking drums, as well as added the high, melodic synth you hear throughout. Tez came in last with the fiery guitar fills and solo, which you can hear throughout, as well. 

  Once it was all in the bag, we tapped Stephen to produce and mix it, which he did in his always pro manner. 

  This is the first collab Eclectic Collective has done with Gaz, but we all hope it won't be the last. He is one of the finest singers on the Cloud, and we're honored that he would sprinkle his magic on this song with us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Joseph Stenton:
Where were you on those days gone by
Were you out by the tracks where the lone train whistle cries
Or kicking up rocks on those dusty roads of dirt
Or skating on streets paved with gold
Or wrestling upon the grass beneath endless sky

On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its highs 

Where were you on those days gone by
Were you tugging at the stars too
In an attempt to release their light
Bonded by hours
To a brotherhood we believed would never die

On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its highs 

Where were you on those days gone by
From within this dull petrification of time
Comes a crystalline memory
Of those long lost moments, now born free 
Of come what might, come what might be

On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its highs 

Where were you on those days gone by
With a tape in the walkman
Playing the soundtrack of passing time
To these moments of our lives
That once burned bright but never died

On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its high

A love song set in a collapsing universe (Ain't they all?)
From the album: Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025)

Lyrics:
The beautiful patina that you've left upon my life
You found me at my worst
But still, you became my wife
All the colors of our world
It's the vision in my heart
You see through alchemy of my disguises
And my restless anesthetizing

I've been dreaming in third person
Sun Ra is my cameraman
I've been contemplating the world
It gets darker as it worsens

I've been hallucinating in first-person
Narratives
I need your love
It's all I can give
While these nighttime stars are elapsing
Until the universe collapses
I need your love
Until the universe collapses...

(universe collapses with the recorded sounds of slaughtered dying whales, objects tearing, and chemicals dissolving)

Untitled Strange Love Song (Number 8)

I like to play with sound and mould it into music. I use elements from psychill, downtempo, ambient, new age, world music and rock, jazz and pop. For me it's essential that you can hear the human behind and the play with consciousness. I'm inspired by Man of no Ego, Pink Floyd, Suduaya, David Sylvian, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Enigma, Daft Punk and many others.

Let's play serious
