Nights

Reflecting Dreams

After listening to this incredible guitar piece, I instantly connected to it. I'm grateful for Nenad agreeing to let me collaborate. We hope you like it!

Original guitar and composition by Neno J. @user-442202241:

Lyrics

He thought he was invincible
She thought she was immune
Love it found them in the dark
It found them out too soon

Love was unavoidable
She said she didn't care
He hid his head beneath the sand
And it caught them unaware

When love unfolds
There's no control

A glance, a smile, a kiss, they found love, chased dreams, vowed to never let it die
A love so blind

A dream, a life of love, they held on, pulled through, always giving it a try
A state of mind

They fell on to hard times, they fell so so hard
They failed to see the signs, and they fell apert
Alone and on their knees
Their love had just deceased

Clinging to the love they knew
Fighting in despair
Love had taken everything
There was nothing left to share

Pain is unavoidable
The heart can feel old
Love takes a lifetime to be learnt
It's not a story quickly told

Quickly Told Story (Collab with Neno J)

The Alert—Rap-160 BPM
Heat’s bubbling everywhere——coming to the surface —-
Straight from the underground ——so don’t go ——getting nervous

Nothing but dopeness —————-
both a product and the service——-

———checking ———in——- where you been

Standing room only—close the doors and let us  begin
And If All the seats are taken———-consider that a win—-win

Nah!—Y’all ——can’t hold back the vibes—-ECHO!

—————Now Bounce It!

Braking down—— the of elements
Tune me —-as a reference
Acknowledge —-the —existence 
So what’s the big difference

 I’m Betting that’s your——preference
Really don’t stand a chance

No overselling bro————yo!—this is what I was born to do

——My styles never——basic—I bend the bar and twist it

Check out——How I operate—chill——- lemme demonstrate 

Decision’s made—-coordinate
Drop that beat——anticipate
I rock it  ——-and—— I—-regulate
Now it’s time ———to——-devastate——

While—————-my flow accelerate
Catch the wave— I dominate—-

Boost the volume——-Lemme ——through—-
Lemme change your point of view
nothings basic——like the flu 
Nothing’s crazy—-like voodoo 
simple facts—-a quick—-review
Catch the vibe ——it’s simply Lou
No holding back just bouncing through (X2)

This is a rework of an old track. I wanted to make parts of it a little more upbeat and also add some orchestral elements. 
A little nod to the last UK bank holiday before the 'C' word (I'm not saying it yet!!) and the end of summer 2023.

Free download if you like it.

Thank you for listening 💛

Sweet Bitter Distant Memories (Roy Roy and J.J. Terrell)

Don't you hate it when people start describing a dream they had? I hope not..

I saw an angel in my  dream
Torn and tattered were her wings
And She revealed the truth to me
And it brought me to my knees
It made everything so clear
And my eyes filled with tears
But when i wiped the tears away
Her words had faded in the day

I met a man who came to me
From a land across the sea
He had stardust in his eyes
as we looked toward the sky
He held my face in his two hands
I  felt the fire flow through his veins
And I trembled in my fear
As I whispered in his  ear

Show me the way to get back home
Show me the place where i belong
Give me the stars to light the road
Show me the way to get back home

if it's not too late
Show me how to change our fate
and we all have lost the way
And there's no time left to wait

As i stand before you now
Feeling naked and ashamed 
At the mercy of it all
because I gave it all away

Angel, please return to me

Show Me The Way Home

Tex Mex Shaman (Stephen)--rhythm/ slide guitars/ riff/ mix and post production--@texmex-shaman
Llanpsych (Tez)--lead guitar--@llanpsych
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)--bass guitar--@josh-clary-1
J.J. Terrell-- Piano/glockenspiel--@j-j-terrell 
Mysterious Decibel--lead and high backing vocals--@themysteriousdecibel
K2 and the Three (Ken)--drums/ cowbell( I had the fever)maracas/tambourine/ woodblock/ low harmonies--@k2andthe3, and @k2-kara


    This is a cover from Paul McCartney and Wings, from 1975 album, Venus and Mars, and this album was supported on their 1976 Wings over America tour. They always opened with Venus and Mars/Rockshow
     Ken sent Josh and Tez an email a few months back, about maybe covering this awesome rocker, after we released “Hello World." Before responding, Ken reposted his cover of "Richard Cory," a Simon and Garfunkel cover, sung by Denny Laine and Sir Paul on the Wings Over America triple live album. Stephen commented that “Rockshow” was one of the first songs he learned on guitar. Ken said, “Well, here’s your sign!" He freaked and invited Stephen to immediately contact Josh.
     We finished everything but the vocals by early June, but were stuck on lead vocalist. Several of the collective gave it a go, but nothing sounded right. Then came a late game idea. We had all been following and fans of The Mysterious Decibel for quite some time, so we asked him if he'd be interested in singing it. He was game, and really delivered what so many could not. He is a new, welcome addition to our mix. You'll also hear Stephen, who also accomplished the herculean task of mixing and producing this song, very ably play the entire song on the guitar, with Tez playing the ripping leads. 
  We hope you enjoy our labor of love that has been an entire summer in the making.

Rockshow (Paul McCartney and Wings interpretation)-Eclectic Collective

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–guitar solos in first half, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–keys, including organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–Guitar solo in the second half
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–bass guitar
 This is a song that Artur wrote in his unique, original, and signature surf rock style, and passed it on to Josh, as a gift. Josh added some bass, and, of course, had to get the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved, too. Ken came up with the energetic, driving beat, perfectly suited for the song. JJ added some really stunning, surfy organ and jamming electric piano. Tez added his signature inspired, powerful lead in the second part. Stephen added his dynamic guitar voice to the first half, and was kind, generous, patient, and talented enough to mix and produce the whole thing.
  I asked Artur the meaning of the song's title, and he told me that it refers to the soulmate some people find, who can carry you through anything, even if you or they may be a little crazy. It's about crazy love!
  We hope you enjoy our third installment of our surf rock series

The One-Eclectic Collective

Sadly and tragically as apt today as it was when released 50+ years ago. A song of divine retribution, ultimately. This song has been with me all my life and it was a pleasure to do vocals for https://soundcloud.com/thephaige on this. He did all the hard work and created an orchestral, snarling, chaotic, beautiful soundscape which nods to, but doesn't ape the original. 
Not monetising, just for fun
Play as loud as you can, then turn it up more
be good

Composer/Songwriter. Proficient performer of piano, bass guitar, double bass, cello, 6 string , 12 string , drums, triangle (shall I include tambourine too?🤣), vocals, lyrics. 99% of the tracks on this page are original songs. None of my performances on any of my tracks, whether solo work, or collaboration, have any editing whatsoever. Effects and equalization? Of course! But no editing, no software, etc. Quite a substantial amount of these tracks are with The Eclectic Collective. We are like family and have been playing together on a daily basis since approximately March of 2022 as the Eclectic Collective. Before the band bore it's name Eclectic Collective; Josh, Ken, Stephen, Tez, and  CG Maness were doing some occasional collabs. At any given time we are all simultaneously working on about 15 different songs. And when we feel they are done cooking in the oven we release them.  We release a song every week on Fridays at 4AM UTC
