Wicked guitar and superb psychedelic energy 🔥 Powerful vocals 🔥

@user-936947521 hey Frans man, thank you so very much for your awesome review. this is Ken's song, really, and he's the main guy behind it. I'm so glad to hear your glowing review though, my dear friend. your opinion is paramount to me, you know.

Great work, as always! Loved that guitar solo Stephen.

i had just enjoyed some isolated horns... figured i should find the original, as i didn't recognize.

Super track. Powerful all around 👌🏽🔆

Old trains, new trains come wailing down the track while old dogs howl at the moon and the trains. Something oddly comforting about such neighborhood sounds.

This song was written by Ken and a dearly departed friend and former bandmate named Chris Bennett about the latter's divorce that he was going through at the time when their band was also breaking up. Ken had a good demo of the two of them fleshing it out, which the Eclectic Collective used as a template for the song. Josh was first to add his unique slide bass line to the song. Next up was Tez, who added the fiery solo you hear at the end. Stephen came in not too long after with the rhythm guitar, complete with the intricate fills you hear throughout. Around the same time, Mark added some really innovative, genre-bending horns and shakers to it. Ken then completed the song with his stellar vocals. 

  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, so Ken turned it over to Stephen for an objective mix, although Ken was still heavily involved in the process, too. This is the first time Ken has sung lead for an EC song, and we were all very impressed with his skills on this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.


Original lyrics by Chris Bennett:

I once believed in happy ever after
Now I’m convinced by tears instead of laughter
There’s not much good inside that’s left to do the things for my survival

If I relied on you to make it better
I’d die a 1000 times, before we get together
All that is bad inside will rise back to the top
With your arrival

Burn down the doorway
Run down the hall
Scream out my name
But I may never hear you, never hear you
Drive down the highway
Until you’re gone
I may never hear you call

I still believe that someone’s always watching
Each time I turn around, I never hear them talking
All that is bad inside will never fade away with your arrival

Burn down the doorway
Run down the hall
Scream out my name, but I may never hear you
Never hear you
Drive down the highway
Until you’re gone
I may never hear you call

Na Na Na  Na Na Na
Na na na

Happy Ever After (Eclectic Collective)

je suis le troisieme homme
qu'on voit mal sur le podium
challenger de misère, outsider

je léve pas le poing
mais je n'en pense pas moins
j'fais pas de foin, dans mon coin

si on va sur la lune
je reste dans la capsule
un pas pour l'humanité esseulée

je suis le troisieme homme
mais je ne suis pas Orson 
y'a pas de problème, Huston

et alors quoi ?
et alors quoi ?
mammifère en colère
sentimental animal 
 
ya pas que toi
mammifère en colère
sentimental animal 
sentimental  

troisieme larron
second couteau
et pas le plus pointu des couteaux

quand je tape du poing
personne n'entend rien
je fais du foin, dans mon coin

si on va sur la lune
je reste dans la capsule
un pas pour l'humanité esseulée

je suis le troisieme homme
mais je ne suis pas Orson 
non, pas de problème, Huston

et alors quoi ?
et alors quoi ?
mammifère en colère
sentimental animal 
 
ya pas que toi
mammifère en colère
sentimental animal 
sentimental

Troisième homme

LYRICS

You tell more lies than a politician
But you  can't help it you were born that way
You stretch the truth by your own admission
There's a lie in every thing you say

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
You tell more lies than a politician

You say you love me and you really really want me
You say it'd break your heart
If I walked away
But I know that it really wouldn't matter
You'd have another by the end of the day

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
You tell more lies than a politician

Instrumental

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
But you tell lies like a politician

I know deep down that I really really want you
It ain't no secret that I'm stone in love with you
You say I'm kidding and I don't really need you
And I think that you're lying too

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
You tell more lies than a politician

More Lies

'Insignificent Meanderings' is a Jazz Rock/fusion track and as the title suggests, just killing time in the studio. So in the bigger picture of things this is completely insignificent....However I hope you enjoy my meanderings.

Dark Memories

the crowd laughs back

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.
