Met Her On Arrival

And then you met her on arrival, she stole your heart like a new religion
Devil's child wore her smile, on and on her kisses carried you

Cold riches, you cannot find peace of mind in your securities
Cold riches, you're bound to see what you'll be for opportunity

And then you opted for denial, a buried head with blurry vision
Pure sarcasm mixed with guile, the doctor called, the symptoms must be true

-----

And then you had a premonition, a thousand things you might be missing
Deja Vu and indecision, it's crazy how they're both inside of you

Cold riches, you cannot find peace of mind in your securities
Cold riches, you're bound to see what you'll be for opportunity

Settle down, little mama, settle down to find your way
Settle down, little lady, settle down to keep your self

Met Her On Arrival

Wrote this while on holiday in Slovenia last summer - and took the photo very near where we were staying. Slovenia is stunningly beautiful and everybody was incredibly lovely!

I popped round to Charlie's place after work last week and strummed it through while he accompanied me with his lovely spontaneous electric guitar playing… and then, as luck would have it, I bumped into Jennie Howell in town on my way home from Charlie’s and she asked if I had anything she could sing on, so she came over and added some wonderful backing to the final verse!
 I added just a little bit of clarinet and strings.. (on the GarageBand keyboard).

Lyrics;

The door said step outside the whole world is here for you
and the steps said come on feet, you can step on me
and the garden gnome, smiling, said have a great day
have yourself an apple, said the apple tree

The road said I’m just wide enough if you stay over to the side
and the hill said you can make it if you try
and the lazy dog cooling off said lie in the shade
rest if you’re flagging, said the dragonfly

My backpack said don’t worry Jack, I’ve got your back
and my sunglasses said you know you need me now
and the sun said rejoice my friend cos this is our time
and the wind said I will cool you down

The stream said you should see me in full flow after the rain
and the path said keep on, you’re almost there
and the roundabout said where you going and where have you been
and the cars said we don’t really care

The lake said there’s no hurry you can stay here for a while
and the water said jump in if you want
and the children said remember when, and the boats said until then
and the ducks said this is where we belong

All the while up above
where only legends dare to climb
the mountain said 
with his head in the clouds
all in good time

all in good time.

All In Good Time

knife grinder blues

Chill Nu Jazz, a fusion of jazz, electro, and neoclassical music with throbbing hip hop beats at 85 bpm

The second of three songs including Ripples and yet to release, Harvest Moon, that I wrote between naps while I was in bed with a head cold. I literally fit the description of a bedroom producer 😆

When the state of people of the world seems out of whack, I take comfort in Mother Nature’s equinox, a day when light and darkness are in balance. This year’s equinox occurs on a new moon, a rare event and a symbol for setting intentions for new life with gratitude for blessings already received.

For us living in the top half of the earth, we will see less light until the passage of Winter Solstice. For friends living in the lower half of the planet, may you enjoy the coming of the light until it fully blooms at Summer Solstice. Until then, on the equinox, 22 of September, 2025, we jointly experience an equality of night and day 🌚🌞

While Equinox presents us with equal day and night, the song definitely expresses my personal sadness at the reality of light fading into winter in my half of the world. The diminishing of light also reminds me of Dylan Thomas’ poem, Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, in which he wrote, “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” So the music is truthful, and like all personal truths, this, too, will change. And can change as fast as a trip south of the sun-drenched Equator 😀✌️

Equinox

This is the final track for "Next Trail Marker". New album coming soon!!

Out, want to get out
Left foot down from the drivers seat
Stepping toward the front door
Grab my key

Now, who been sweeping sand from my driveway?
Toppled blocks piled up by the sidewalk

Think I want to move away
Out to Green Valley
How about it? 
Never look back

Well, fresh start clean the board
New neighborhood 
Stack ‘em back, better than before

Think I want to move away
Out to Green Valley
How about it? 
Never look back

Golf cart to the grocery store
No one sleeping on the bus stop 
Couldn’t ask for more

Out, want to get out
Left turn down to 19th street
Back away from that front door
Let’s move it out

Think I want to move away
Out to Green Valley
How about it? 
Never look back

I think I want to move away
How about it?

Golf cart to the grocery store
No one sleeping on the bus stop 
Couldn’t ask for more


Out, Want Out

Coming home, but it’s not
The same home walked away from
Cross the threshold, air smell funny
Furniture turned around

Change the way we see the world
Sideways line, up and down
Sunrise in the
Wrong part of the sky

Morning happening all day long
Afternoon blues til evening come

Words spoken in familiar tongue, but
Jumbled order
Having trouble understanding 
Ain’t the way supposed to go

Can’t fix the leaky roof
Puddled on the floor
Rotten core


Morning All Day

Inspired by Sergei Rachmaninoff's Sonata No.2 in B Flat Minor Op.36
Overwhelmed by the pain and suffering of mortal men, women and children, she pleads for divine intervention.

Her Prayer

I’m thrilled that you’re here
Was not expecting to see you
I make a move to pull you near
Disappear in a smoky whisper
Wake up with a tear in my pillow

Most likely I put it out my head
So many tasks at hand
Make the bed, wash my face
Write a verse just for you
Move the blocks to somewhere new

Knowing that the future 
Never be for certain
Hold you close
To my heart everyday 

Move to pull you near
Never forget the love
That brought you here

Common thread I weave throughout
Love is the one thing I share
Fill the holes, the cracks, the seams
Describe beautiful picture
With my words


In A Smoky Whisper

This is the first release of a collaboration between myself and my brother Joe,

Let me take you flying. Let me take you off the ground. 
Let me take you to the stratosphere now. 
You won't need a ticket, you won't need a reservation. 
You just need to take my hand and fly. Come fly with me.

Let me take you dancing. Let me spin you on the floor. 
Trip the light fantastic with you. 
You won't need a lesson. You won't need a costume ball. 
You just need to take my hand and dance. Come dance with me.

No time to think it over. It's time to go. 
No time to think it over, let's go. Take my hand now.

Don't wait for a sign. To make up your mind. Baby, this is our time.

Let me take you somewhere. 
Take you where you've never been. 
Take you where the map will end now. 
You won't need a compass. You won't need a passport stamp. 
You just need to take my hand somewhere,  somewhere with me.

Time To Go

Cast of Characters:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – acoustic guitar, synth, and composition
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- vocals, lyrics, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless Warwick bass
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano, B3 organ voice, synth sax, and JJ's angels (voice synth), Lucky Man style synth
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– master and production
This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.
Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning.
The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.
Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.
This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind
there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind
how could I have been so blind?
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me
it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea
the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home
the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown
on their own
“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play”
our leaders assured us we’d never go poor
and nobody questions the truth anymore
but what did we do it all for?
Our science sustains us like fine works of art
but are we closer together or farther apart?
we’re each on an island alone on the sea
the ocean between us expands rapidly
is this where we wanted to be?
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me
it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be
machines tried to help us but something went wrong
the future we wanted was here all along
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind
there were words left unsaid…
