Awake (V1 - First Take)

Words I never thought I would have to write.

The great eSyrup, Thom Palumbo has tragically left us.
I am heartbroken. He has been a frequent collaborator and loyal correspondent over the last ten years. When I play guitar, I think of him and whether he would like it. When I write, I imagine his reaction. And now he is gone. He achieved his lifelong ambition of returning to Maine to live over the last few weeks. I was so proud he had done it. I had hoped for more of his time, his music and his humour. An incredible man.

We never met, but we had an uncanny connection. This was done but not finished nearly six years ago, in December 2017. Life and stuff got in the way. Time was our only enemy and sadly a cruel one.

Please listen to his fantastic legacy here and appreciate his beautiful art

In Loving Memory Of ESyrup (Thom) - ESyrup and Nicholas Ridiculous

White Valley

Incoronazione della Vergine, Regina sulla terra e nel cielo.

Incoronazione

Cast of characters:
The Mysterious Decibel -- @themysteriousdecibel – MD – First vocals and lyrics 
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea  -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition, production, and mix
Llanpsych– @llanpsych  –Tez–Electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman  –Stephen– Electric guitar, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3,  @k2-kara –Ken–drums, lyrics, and vocals at the end
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass

This song began with Terry sharing an intriguing Eastern sounding synth and minimal beat with Ken, who added a really solid beat to bring out the strong rhythm of the song. Once they had a solid foundation and skeleton, they shared it with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Josh added his four string fretless bass in a dubby line that was inspired by Tez's hot skank part.  Stephen came up with the floating ambient guitar throughout and the shocking dynamic lift towards the end, and Tez piled on to light it up. Then MD got a hold of it and wrote and sang some of his trademark, fun lyrics and vocals in the first part of the song. Ken, not to be left out of the melodic experience, added the vocals at the end. 
  After we all had everything in the can, the Texas Tea combo of Stephen and Terry produced and mixed the whole thing down. This wasn't their first rodeo mixing a project together, and it really shows in the end quality. They also have several duo projects up on both of their pages that are worth checking out.  
  We think the end result is reminiscent of Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation, two big influences on a few of us. We all hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by MD:
Time again and on, and on, and on, we fall in slumber
Dreams never wait
Ashes to ashes we all fall down 
Ooooo Circles break
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
When we wake
When we wake
Is this a new Simulation?
When I wake
When I wake

Lyrics by Ken:
Feed the fire or the fire flames out

Dancing In The Distance

"Crazy."

This is a song for my Mary, but it is applicable to all Mary's. 

This is my first attempt at recording new material since last summer, I've been writing and playing a lot, but I just haven't had the time lately to get my ideas on tape. So it's nice to get this one out, and hopefully, it'll not be as long a wait for my next. 

Thanks for all the listens and support, it's greatly appreciated as always. cheers!

lyrics

don't let the world dictate to you
be your own girl
in a world that's you

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your time 

don't let the world
loose from your grasp
come up for air
whenever you get the chance 

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your 
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your time

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
don't listen to the boys 
they all screaming that it's true

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
but there's nobody out there
can do you as good as you

so don't let the world
edit out your past
look back with pride 
and don't
catapult so fast

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your 
wasting all your 
wasting all your time

Time, For Mary

We welcome your feedback!

Just You And Me

Just You and me

Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Mike listed below.
Vocals, Music and Mix by Mike Fox UK 

IT WAS A SAD DAY TODAY
IN OUR SMALL TOWN
THE RADIO STATION
IT CLOSED DOWN

FOUNDED IN NINETEEN FIFTY
AND A LOCAL LANDMARK
PLAYED ALL KINDS OF MUSIC
WAS SPECIAL TO OUR HEART

(CHORUS)
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY
IN OUR HOME TOWN
THEY FLIPPED THE SWITCH
AND IT FADED AWAY
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THIS
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THAT
WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY

THE DEJAY'S WERE THE BEST
ALWAYS TAKING REQUEST
THE SONGS WERE ALWAYS PLAYIN'
AND VERY SATISFYIN'

TEARS FLOWED FREELY THAT DAY
AS AMERICAN PIE WAS PLAYED
AFTER SIXTY SEVEN YEARS
WHY WAS THAT CALL MADE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

THE RED BRICK BUILDIN'
NO LONGER STANDS
THE RECORDS WERE SOLD
THEY WASHED THEIR HANDS

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 times)

I like to create songs in differents styles, sometimes ephemeral songs to express a passing feeling, and at other times definitive songs.
I'm listening to work with other artists to share and enjoy creations !
Peace !
