Lyrics:

If you feel tired and can't find any pleasures
Unable to see how things really should be

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If you don't know how to love
And don't know how to live
If you feel split in two
And have nothing to give

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If family and friends see you as only strong
They may not be aware of
That you struggle all day long

And need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

To be able to help others
You have to help yourself
Don't be ashamed
To stop up and say

That you need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

So take a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day...

Take A Long Break   W/PJ Project

High Wire Wild Christopher & Unguided Express

A lively rhythmic song about that one person being stuck in your head, exemplified by the song's instantly singable and longing melodies.

Always, you’re always on my mind

Every season, every day
Every night, in things I say
Always, you’re always on my mind

In every rythym, melody and rhyme
You’re always on my mind
In all the music I hear a song for you

In everything I see or hear and do I think of you
In the sun, the snow, with moonlight
Even if you’re far away
I feel you here so close to me

In every smile, tear, word or touch
Even If I have to cry, shout or laugh
You’re always on my mind

Always On My Mind

We usually release instrumental tracks on Wednesdays, but since none of us will have any free time next Wednesday, here’s a "new" instruMETAL for you (yeah, we know, that wordplay sucks!).  
We put "new" in quotes because, well, it’s not really new! This is actually the closing track from "Metal Edge", our metal album, released (pretty much everywhere) on October 10, 2024. As of today, you can find the full album here on SoundCloud too, with this track added (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/metal-edge).  
See you next Friday (…more or less) with a new track called "Born To Kill" (and yeah, this time it’s a serious one). And a huge thank you to everyone supporting us! We love you! ❤️‍🔥
Released on major streaming platforms on October 10, 2024.

Edge of Eternity

Edge of Eternity (Instrumental)

You must've heard that I've been telling all my friends about you
They must've said I must have lost my mind
I've never been stricken by anyone so hard, so unexpectedly

Now it's been a week you've gone on your summer vacation
It feels a lot like eternity
Hours, minutes and seconds I look out for your text-in
I think I'm losing sanity

Damn, I'm in love
I'm addicted to this sweet sick feeling
I'm damned if I'm wrong
to have lost control, given into you

Damn, I'm in love
I'm addicted to this sick sweet feeling
I'm damned, am I wrong
to have lost control, open to your love

Now it's been a week you've gone on your winter vacation
It feels a lot like eternity
Days, hours and minutes and seconds I wait for the phone to ring
I feel I'm going crazy

Damn, I'm In Love (feat. Fengyi)

Only Love

TITLE: CROWN OF THORNS
__________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
The sky grew dark the earth did quake
A wooden cross His soul did take
Each step He bore with aching strain
A world of sin in every pain

(Chorus)
Oh crown of thorns upon His brow
The weight of love He carried now
With every lash with every cry
He bore the suffering so we'd not die

(Verse 2)
The crowd stood still the jeers did ring
A king of love with nails did cling
His hands outstretched His heart laid bare
A sacrifice beyond compare

(Bridge)
The heavens wept the temple tore
Mercy spilled forevermore
A silent lamb He bore the blame
The world forever changed His name

(Chorus)
Oh crown of thorns upon His brow
The weight of love He carried now
With every lash with every cry
He bore the suffering so we'd not die

(Verse 3)
The stone rolled back the tomb did wake
A risen life for all our sake
From death to life His glory shines
Eternal hope through endless times

King Of Eternal Love

Crown Of Thorns

Crown of Thorns

A new composition......

Lyrics:
We wander this earth on a small blue dot
Chasing our dreams, with all that we’ve got
Different colors and different shades
Yet deep down inside, we’re all just afraid
They say that we’re one, but we build up the walls
In shadows and silence, we stumble and fall


Oh, we are one people, can’t you see
A tapestry woven, you and me
From rags to riches, we share the same air
Longing for peace, yet we’re lost in despair


Some live in towers, eye touching the skies
While others just scrape by, with hope in their eyes
We trade our compassion for money and pride
Looking away as our neighbor’s divide
Guess we forget what really remains
Love’s a bridge over all of our pains


In the tunnels of red and blue
The chaos screams but we can break through
If we dare to hold out a hand
Find the strength to understand

We Are One People

Cast of Characters:

Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass, and Roland organ

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production

  
This song began when Joe, feeling a bit nostalgic, wrote the lyrics and composed it on his acoustic guitar. He recorded it and sang it with expert harmonies, then decided to share it with Eclectic Collective. We were all very excited to get work on our second song with Joe, as we all admire his songwriting.

  First up was Tez this time, oddly enough. He was able to identify all the fill spots and light up the solo without the rest of us even adding anything yet. Next came Ken, who usually goes first, adding his steady grooving drums and tasty percussion. Once the drums were down, Josh completed the rhythm section by adding his fretted bass. He also worked out an organ part to give the whole sound a bit of thickness. Also adding some thickness and texture, Stephen added a clean electric rhythm part, as well. 

  Once we had it in can we asked Stephen to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 

  This, as mentioned, is Eclectic Collective's second song with Joe, and we all enjoyed bringing it to life with him. He's a wonderful collaborator and an all around good dude. Do yourself a favor and go check out his page, which is rich in great songs. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino:

If you find yourself in trouble and you think you've lost your way. 
Here's hoping that you find a path to a better day.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope you find all the answers to all those questions vexing you.
I hope you can find a way not to bite off more than you can chew.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality
All those places that you said that you wanted to see.
I hope they're as good as you expected them to be.
I want you to know that you hold a special place in my heart.
I think about you often even though we are apart.
They say that when you love somebody sometimes you gotta be willing to let them go.
You gotta let them spread their wings and fly wherever the wind decides to blow. 
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope that you're happy. I hope that you're doing well.  I sure hope that you're doing swell.You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality

Hope That You Are Happy - (Eclectic Collective with Joe Stroffolino)

Frozen in time

From the heart of a fractured nation, for a world facing an ominous future, comes music from the dark mind of the machine. We are modern post-punk and we hope our music touches your soul.
