The sense of ascending you create with the music is intriguing, enticing, and ultimately very uplifting and satisfying.

Hey Jeroen man, love how that staccato synth gives the whole thing a frenetic motion. Hey my friend, awesome work here!

'be we shall let'

Note: this began as a shitty live recording that I overdubbed some extra (louder) vocals and two separate djembe tracks. It's what it is. I assure you some sexier things are in the works. If you care.

I sit on my porch watching the cars roll by
thinkin' about you, and the last time that we said goodbye.
When will I see you again?
I want to discover if this is real or pretend.
Either way, my darling, I feel like I've been blessed
for our stars to align amidst all of the mess
that we've made of our lives. Perhaps, now, for the best.
Not only satisfied, you make me strive to be my best.
So, let's give this a try. 
And, let me be honest...
The first time we locked eyes, my darlin', my feet were swept.
Be we shall let.

be we shall let

I'm so thankful to be a songwriter! Feels good to express like this. Just letting loose! This by far is the most different song I've ever written. Circumstances can hit you in crazy ways. Who would've thought my favorite dinosaur would be the title of a song lol. It surprised me but I went with it. The glorious Ankylosaurus, built like a tank. There are some very cold hearts out there, that tell lies, that are just so cruel, that betray, wanting to cause harm. Go ahead, try...because you'll just break your teeth on me...goodbye. Thanks for the song:) I've become an Ankylosaurus. This song was inspired from quite a few situations that happened within the past year. For all those out there who have encountered, conquered and moved on from those kinds of people, people who are really just unhappy.  Hey, you're an Ankylosaurus too! Thanks for listening to this live recording I did late last night on the Old Baldwin...which by the way is in need of a tuning. It might be a while before I post another song, hopefully I can get it tuned soon! 

Ankylosaurus

I'm free like driftwood
I'm feeling so good yeah

Cause I don't have a verse for you 
Only a chorus 

You tried to bite me in two
But I'm a Ankylosaurus 

And I don't know how 
Your heart pumps any blood at all 

Cause you're as cold as February 
I never wanna see you walking towards me 
Without you I can really shine
Forget my last name
Valentine

I'm free like driftwood
I'm feeling so good yeah

Cause I don't have a verse for you 
Only a chorus 

You tried to bite me in two
But I'm a Ankylosaurus 
I'm a Ankylosaurus!

And I don't know how 
Your heart pumps any blood at all 

Cause you're as cold as February 
I never wanna see you walking towards me 
Without you I can really shine
Forget my last name
Valentine

I'm an Ankylosaurus
I'm an Ankylosaurus
I'm an Ankylosaurus
I'm an Ankylosaurus

Ankylosaurus (Original Song Live)

This is a track from my album TALES OF A NOMAD, a collection of impressions from decades of living a nomadic life for professional reasons. It is inspired by the famous ballad by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe from 1782.

The Erlking

My first solo song in a little bit…

Cast of Characters:

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – Yamaha Genos 2 Synthesizer

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass

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

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

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- ovation acoustic guitar, vocals, and lyrics

This song began in Artur's jam room at his house, where he creates all of his amazing music on his Fender Jaguar, which is perfect for the surf sound, at which he's a master. He shared it with Josh, who shared it with the group.

Before Josh could lay down a bass part to it, though, JJ came up with his elegantly moody synth and laid it down. The rhythm section, Josh and Ken, then did their usual dance, dialing it in with some back and forth. Stephen was next in line, adding a subtle duet with Artur's chords. Tez then played the ethereal lead throughout most of it. Stephen, after it was pretty much laid down, came through with the ripping wah solo towards the end.

Once the music was all taken care of, Carl came up with some great lyrics for it, and sang them, as the newest member of the group. He also laid down an accompanying acoustic rhythm guitar part, too. After Carl did his thing, we turned it over to Stephen for a mix, which he did with his professional skill set.

This is the latest in a long line of surf rock tunes Artur has shared with Eclectic Collective. If you dig the sound, he has plenty more great ones on his page, which are worth checking out, too. We tried to do this with a little nod to The Police, the band, not the profession. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics - The Beautiful Dark

Who said we're different
We got our genes and our names
One human mission
Heart fused like fission
Real collective brains

Pure pine for pure
Pleased though holds hands
Reel in one love
Filter for our sands

I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue
I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I Feel the Same as You (w/The Eclectic Collective)

Hey girls, ever had a crush in the gym locker room ?
Lyrics:
The gym lights hum low as she steps close,  
her sun-tanned skin glistens of recent sweat.  
I breathe her in, deeply like a tropical rose 
Her curly hair cascades, dark and wet.

Her white tank top clings, like a second skin,  
outlining the mounts and valleys of her six pack.  
Burning of desire, my fingers itch to begin,  
A sweet and sexy game with no turning back.  

(Chorus):
I’d like to lick your body.
I’d like to sink in your sweat. 
Let me worship your beauty.
I’d like to be your pet !

Her breath still ragged, her chest still rising,  
I watch the drops slide down her breast.  
I’d like to catch them, taste their salty tracing. 
Would I shiver when she’ll be undressed ?

She peels off her socks, smiling at my gaze,  
Sore muscles flexing beneath the sheen.  
The white room hums with her sexy blaze,  
Like a furnace of desire I’d gladly burn in.  

(Chorus):
I’d like to lick your body.
I’d like to sink in your sweat. 
Let me worship your beauty.
I’d like to be your pet !


(Bridge)
The locker room is quiet, waiting,  
steam curls around her like a veil.  
I ache to be the towel embracing,  
to worship where the heat is frail.  

She turns, naked, her eyes a slow ignition.  
She smirks at the way I stare too long.  
No words—just sweat and my submission,  
Her muscular body, the place I belong.

Sweat and Desires

Thank you for listening to this track. This is track 01 from my recently released album. 
I realize the meaning of this might not come through in its translation.
Think:  greed and consumerism denounced in sarcastic apathy.

Lyrics:

You’ve got that new car smell
I like the way you look
So why should I care
If I’m your driver of the month
So let’s get down to business baby
Something new will gratify us
Satisfaction guaranteed with

More and more...

I live a toilet paper world
Of paper cups and plastic forks
I can’t recall what I did yesterday
I like a change I like it fast 
Addicted to nothing that lasts and 
God, I love this new car that has

More and more...


Everything disposable 
What of the future
Use it up and throw it all away
Getting tired of living 
In a toilet paper world
In a toilet paper world

More and more...

I want it all I want it now
Have my cake and eat it all somehow
Can’t wait to take this baby for a spin
But sooner or later 
My new car will start failing
And then he will require

More and more...

Give me more 
I want more 
Give me more 
I want more

Encore une fois, je fais honneur à la chanson Française.
_________________________________________________

J'aime bien ce morceau et cet artiste qui est très connu,
mais on n'entend pas beaucoup parler de lui...
Ce morceau est un extrait de l'album
"La Dernière Séance" enregistré à Nashville (Tennessee)

Cette chanson figurait dans le générique et
donnait son nom à une émission de télévision
animée par Eddy Mitchell lui même, de 1982 à 1998
qui était consacrée aux classiques du cinéma américain.
(dont je raffole)

J'adore aller au cinéma et toujours à la "dernière séance"...

**********************************************************************
Once again, I honor French songs.

I like this track and this artist, who is very well-known (in France),
but we don't hear much about him...
This track is taken from the album
"La Dernière Séance" recorded in Nashville, Tennessee.

This song was featured in the credits and
leaved its name to a television show
hosted by Eddy Mitchell himself, from 1982 to 1998
dedicated to American cinema classics.
(which I love)

I love going to the movies, and always to the "last screening"...

So Many Years (Remix)

OK, since you guys are enjoying the guitar (or rather, the guitars) in "Do What You Like" 🎸(https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/do-what-you-like) so much, and since you were also curious to actually see the mess that created this sound, here you go! This is basically the “making of” the song, mainly based on a part that was later discarded, complete with a rather comical little sketch and Mary at some point asking Tom to switch to another effects chain (switch, switch! Well, that’s how she puts it!), plus a bunch of other nonsense we’re deeply ashamed of and really shouldn’t be releasing to the whole world ! Oh well… goodbye decency, and goodbye ears for you all (it’s all in English and the laughs are interplanetary… the only word in Italian is Tom’s “basta!” at the end, which means “enough!”)!😂
Oh, by the way, some of you asked about the effects chain we used. Well, maybe we’ll update this description later (time permitting, with our day jobs and three other songs in the making!), and reveal a bit more! Cheers!🫶

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on September 24, 2025.
