Strand 2

So you think you could be falling in love
And yet you just don’t know what it is
It might as well be anything you could suppose 
But when it comes to loving someone nobody knows
Although you know there’s a feeling do you know what it is?
Or are you just   sorry for some things that you did
Are you letting out emotions that are better kept hid
You wouldn’t want to hurt her would you heaven forbid
Now sympathy is always such a dangerous call
It can make you feel that you’re maybe getting ready to fall
You’re hanging round her neighbourhood though God knows what for
Maybe hoping just to see her, maybe something much more
Though mother might have told you in emotions we trust
Is it hope, is it fear, is it love, is it lust
Its not that you were looking out for someone for life
You never had that problem never looking for strife
Its not as though there’s never less than plenty on call
And when it comes to living then you’re having it all
But what is that seems to keep you waking at night
You’re not afraid of the dark nor afraid of the light
Is it fear of the future or fear of the past
Or fear that round the corner you’ll be lonely at last
Now you’re tossing and you’re turning waking up soaking wet
And the only thinking that’s on your mind is is something thing you can’t  get
Maybe this is the time that you’re falling for real
But you wish you could be sure that its love that you feel
Its true you want see her almost every day
But when you finally get so see her you’ve got nothing to say
She’s not exactly pretty but you don’t even mind
But maybe that’s a signal as they say love is blind
You shared your private number and you hoped that she’d call
And was happy even if she told you nothing at all
Whatever’s going on you try to keep it inside
But increasingly its something that you can’t even hide
Is it fear of the future or fear of the past
Are you afraid that something serious will happen at last
You know you can’t remember ever feeling this way
You want to tell her something but don’t know what to say
Is it love, is it love …

Whatever love Is 
Whatever love Knows
Whatever love Hides
Whatever love Shows
Whatever love Chose
Whatever love Grows
Whatever love Is

Whatever love is
Whatever love Breaks
Whatever love Gives
Whatever love Takes
Whatever love Makes
Whatever love Fakes
Whatever love Is

Whatever love is…

Cast of characters:

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, synth, seed idea

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –  vocals, lyrics, mix, and production

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–banjo, guitar, sitar, and final mastering

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

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

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song started in probably the most effective way our group writes them. Ken had a spectacular drum beat that was unused in a previous project, so JJ composed and recorded with his magical keys a chord structure and arrangement. Once we had a beat and a chord structure, Josh came along and added his foundational bass. 

  Now that the rhythm section was complete and the chord structure was in place, Stephen added his unique melody line that you hear at the beginning and every other verse on his magic banjo. He also plays all the initial guitar until about the 1:40 mark, when Tez takes over. In addition, Stephen also laid down some really trippy sitar in the break section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos, which you hear from about 1:40 on, eventually building up to a crescendo towards the end. 

  Once we had all the music down, we realized that we had a big gap in the bridge without much going on in it. So, Mark came through and recorded a cool poem he had written on his refigerator with word magnets more than a decade ago, captured with a picture, and added to for the this song. The poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe. The girl's voice you hear echoing him is his daughter, for whom he originally composed it, in her first appearance with the EC. 

  The song was now finished, except for Mark using his masterful production skills to trim and move a few things. After he made those adjustments on, he threw a mix on it. While we usually defer to Tez or Stephen for the mix, Mark did such a great job, we decided to keep his mix. Stephen did, however master and EQ it to make it a finished product. 

  This is a song written truly as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to is as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by Mistermark:  

The moon flickers on
and rises and dances
across a celestial stage
as dreamers paint the pixels of their mind 
like an infinite canvas 

Sleep away tiny egg
and leave a delicate thread 
of memory behind 
but never log out 
you are in the elaborate web
always

Dancing Moon - (Eclectic Collective)

One family member described this as 1960's music, another said that it's a jam.....happy to run with either.

In these changing times, it's important to find loving compassionate connection. I find that community through playing sound baths, intuiting music for the group or client that I'm with. These songs were born of that work- to help calm, elevate and provide clarity as we move into a higher level of energy, into a more loving world.

Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.

Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
