Arise

Mortal coil
Struggle toil   
Desire bound 
Awaken this dreary dream
In the light be found

Abandoning all illusions 
The cycle is revealed
Destroyer of space and time

Like a seed

Arise
Arise

This is the dawning of a new age
Clean and pure as morning dew
If you can see then you’ll be ok
To yourself be true
To yourself be true

Solo

Come ring the bell
And close the book
Snuff out the candle
Be free from the hook

Cradle grave
Noble slave
It matters not
Awaken this dreary dream
Remember all forgot

Beyond joy and suffering
Past impermanence
Let go of ego

Like a seed

Arise
Arise

This is the dawning of a new age
Clean and pure as morning dew
If you can see then you’ll be ok
To yourself be true
To yourself be true
To yourself be true

Arise

JUST BECAUSE  feat. IPG1
Vocals and Verses: Ian Greaves
https://soundcloud.com/ipg1/just-because-vocals-100-bpm
Lillithe: music, arrangement, Mix  and production
Lyrics:
(Intro) Gotta cut it up, gotta cut it up—-yeah! Just because, just because Gotta cut it up, gotta cut it up—-yeah! Just because, just because
(Chorus) Play my beats loud, rock and move the crowd  Just because, just because make it real, keep it real, underground feel Just because, just because
Just because, just because
Just because, just because

(Verse1)
Sometimes, cold as ice, twice is nice
Gotta cut it up, added some flavor to the slice—
Honed and crafted, chop and dice
Fire and heat,— free—-, no price
Gotta cut it up, added flavor to the slice
Price been paid, rampage and raid
Just because, just because
Since back in the day, yo I got it made
flat tops and fades
Now I’m rockin braids,
Basement, rooftop, outdoors more
Just because, just because

(Verse2) So here I am again, memory Like finding a long lost friend A focused pattern, that never seems to really end That loops and repeats,  Over and over again Over and over again,
Time passes, old and new trends, It’s simply not an option, so how can I pretend? Just enough rope, to run to the end Before the same Pattern, pulls me back again before the same pattern, pulls me back again pulls me back again

(Verse3)
If the world feels heavy, let the music lift, 
To ease every burden, let the rhythms shift
party through the night, no worries relief
hip-hop strength, brings a melody of peace

Just because feat. IPG1

I first met Lucy years ago, maybe four at the time, who's mother is friends with my daughters.  Her eyes were her most striking feature, deep-set, blue, somewhat melancholy, and could look straight at you, unblinking, as if probing your soul.  I was mesmerized.  Fast forward to March 2025; Lucy is now friends with my granddaughters and visiting them when I happened to be visiting as well.  I was playing guitar for them, playing the songs I had written for them, and when I had finished, Lucy looked at me and ever so sweetly asked if I could write a song for her.  How could I refuse?  I quickly improvised something in E-minor as she seemed like an E-minor kind of girl.  She gave me a thankful smile for my effort, was glad to be included, and the little improvisation quickly forgotten shortly thereafter...or so I thought.  Several months passed,  I was in my music room and starting to practice when her little song popped out saying "hello, remember me?"  Then and there I set about to finish what I had started for Lucy and now present to you, my first song of 2026, a dedication to a mysterious little girl with unforgettable eyes.
Thanks to Adobe for the picture of a little girl who is not Lucy, but looks a little like her when we first met.

  This is a project that JJ has been putting together for us as a gift every year for the past couple of years, which gives us a way to speak to all our fans, friends, associates on SoundCloud. It is a compilation of a bunch of our songs from the past year, over which we all answer some questions in an interview style. This year, our interviewer is SunnyBeck, although it has been Jeff of Stonerjazz fame in the past. We have collaborated on a few songs with her, and now consider her part of the Eclectic Collective family.
 We know this is a very long project, so please listen to as much as you want, and know this is as much for our collective listening pleasure as it is to show the world. The time stamps of all out appearances are included with our names, so if you just want to listen to a particular person while commenting on their page, please feel free to do that, too. 
  This is a time of year to take stock in and reflect on the past year. We all have a lot for which to be thankful. We added Carl to the group this year, which has been a delight to all of us. He and Chris have given us so many amazing compositions to work with. Chris is a full member of the band, although he doesn't appear as an interviewee in the documentary.
  We also want to sincerely thank the other collaborators who have shared their magic with us this year. They include Jonathan Beckenstein, Jeff Roberts, MahanMahan, Didier Burli, Tea R. Sea, Mark F, E Ruizzo, Saskiagoethals, Joe Stroffolino, Sean Smith, Steve's Planet, Gaz Brownie, Nyla K, Scratch Kelly, and Single Use & Recycled. They are all spectacular musicians to whom we're very grateful.
  Most of all, though, we're sincerely thankful for each one of you out there with whom we've been able to share our music and make a personal connection with. Your music delights us, as well, and we know that all the attention we get is actually just musicians like us checking poking their heads out and reaching for the same connection. We hope you enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoy making it. We wish you a successful, creative, and meaningful New Year!

2025 Eclectic Collective Rockumentary

"Nur eine kleine Erinnerung" has two meanings depending on context:
'Just a little reminder' or 'Just a memory.'

The question: Would you date a man without money? She says no. What if he has a good character and loves you? "Davon kann ich mir nichts kaufen" ("Can't buy jack with that").

Is she a joke, or brutally honest—making us laugh because truth stings?

Maybe that's why it became Just a Memory. Fleeting anyway—will you remember me? I'm rich inside.

Just a Memory Reminder - Would You? Niemals

Beached Boys (2025) Anthology CD1 Track 01

Made with Suno, written by me

Lyrics:

[Verse]
It’s your way or the highway
You think it’s all a game
I don’t think I’ll be playing
No, not today
I’ve got my peace of mind
And I’m keepin’ it that way
I’m sorry but you’ll have to ruin
Someone else’s day

[Chorus]
I don’t care what you think
I don’t care what you say
I don’t care what you do
Don’t you walk my way
I don’t care what you think
I don’t care what you say 
I don’t care what you do
Don’t you walk my way

[Verse]
So you think you’re righteous 
That’s all you ever do
Is act like you’re a saint
But you haven’t got a clue, no

[Chorus]
I don’t care what you think
I don’t care what you say
I don’t care what you do
Don’t you walk my way
I don’t care what you think
I don’t care what you say 
I don’t care what you do
Don’t you walk my way

[Chorus]
I don’t care what you think
I don’t care what you say
I don’t care what you do
Don’t you walk my way
I don’t care what you think
I don’t care what you say 
I don’t care what you do
Don’t you walk my way
