This is an old Rock song I wrote back in the '80's, just some good old hard Rock & Roll song for a hair band of that time. The lyrics are kinda lame and it wasn't recorded really that well, I had cheap recording equipment at the time, maybe a TASCAM cassette multi-track recorder. Nothing much to say about it, I sang it so please forgive, the Chorus repeats too many times I think. It should have had more leads. Charlie is playing a mean Harmonica on it but it's buried in the mix! The video will be dropping on Friday May 16,2025 on YouTube. The video is new and is a little sexy so if you're faint of heart - Viewer Beware!😂 By today's standard it's nothing but a TV commercial! Just a lot of dancing! So why don't we all just go get Hammered and watch the video!🍻🤘

“HAMMER”

I SAW YOU WALKING DOWN THE STREET,
I GUESS YOU LOOKED A LITTLE TOO MEAN,
A LITTLE WICKED, A LITTLE HARD TO BEAT,     

THEN I WAS CAUGHT IN YOUR VISE,
I STARTED MELTING LIKE A CUBE OF ICE, 
YOU HAD ME ROLLIN’ LIKE A PAIR OF DICE,

HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,
HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,
     
NOW I CAN FEEL, YOUR EYES OF STEEL,
CHECKING ME OUT LIKE I’M YOUR NEXT HOT MEAL, 
I FEEL LIKE RUBBER UNDER A SCREAMIN’ WHEEL,
  
YOU’VE GOT ME BURNING WITH PURE DESIRE,
MY STOMACH’S TURNING AND MY HEAD’S ON FIRE,       
I’M UNDER PRESSURE LIKE WELL-WORN TIRE,
 
HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,
HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,

[LEAD]

HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,
HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS.

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

Deep inside

A new composition......... I would describe this as a lament about poverty and poor particularly here in the US the richest country in the world.
Approximately 37.9 million people in poverty. 
Some of the many causes include income, inequality, inflation, unemployment, debt traps and poor education. The majority of adults living in poverty are employed and have at least a high school education.
Here are some solutions to decrease poverty in the US:
1.Create jobs
Businesses and organizations can look for areas where people living in poverty can contribute their skills, even if they don't have higher education or certifications.
2.End hunger
Eating enough healthy food can help people have the energy to work and break the cycle of poverty. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has been effective at reducing poverty and hunger, and in 2021, it served an average of 41.5 million people per month.
3.Paid family leave
Paid leave can increase household income and reduce poverty, especially for low-income single mothers.
4.Raise the minimum wage
Raising the minimum wage can improve economic security for families and reduce poverty.
5.Increase the EITC for childless workers
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) can supplement the incomes of low-earning parents and encourage them to work more.
6.Invest in education
Education is one of the best ways to solve poverty.
7.Access to health care
Ensuring access to medical services can help promote health and minimize inequity
8. Universal Basic Income(UBI)
9. More affordable housing
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”       Anne Frank

Lyrics
In the dark alleyways and crowded streets
Where the forgotten souls silently weep
Beneath the city lights so cold and bright
The poor search for hope in the still of the night

Their faces worn their spirits low
Struggling to survive with nowhere to go
Living day to day without a safety net
 In a world that they can never forget

Oh, the shadows of the forgotten 
Lost in a world so cruel and rotten
Their voices unheard their stories untold
 In a world so heartless and cold

But in the silence a song still remains
Of resilience and strength that hope brings
For in the darkness a light will shine
Guiding the poor to a better time

Let us not turn away
From the struggles of the poor each day
And together let us stand
To lift them up and lend a helping hand

Oh shadows of the forgotten
In your eyes a spark of hope begotten
For in unity and love we will find
A brighter world for all mankind

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."
