Name: A Sad Face is Good for the Heart ( demo) by K2 and the Four
Duration: 2 min 24 s
Description: A song I wrote about a break up with a girl friend, who could not see a future with me. Just a start of a song Ecclesiastes 7, if I remember correctly 😎😇😇😇

like 45-103 rhythm....sad effective vocal,,sorry for your loss!!!good melody

Great psychedelic vocal, relaxing, driving rocking beat, very smooth & warm Vynl sound . Great song, superb 🔥🔥🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

Hey Ken man, this is such a striking audio treat. Love the chord changes, and the melody sounds like bossa nova. This is a great song, brother, performed very well on all the instruments, and vocals, too. Great work on this one, bro!

You always remind me of The Beatles in the latter years the way you pan out your instrumentals with that trippy vibe👍

Legit psychedelic pyrotechnics.  I feel like im stumbling while sitting down. Great job

@drex-hella Thank you! Much appreciated!🙏

Weeping crown

N-Limão e Tomate

A simple tribute to the four seasons of the year, reminding us of their wonderful aspects, such as the sound of fallen leaves or birdsongs, but also storms and terrible forest fires.

Find...  What?, Exactly

On a personal note, working with this group of fine fellows is joy and a continuing learning experience for me. The original basic piano melody here has gone through several 're-births', appearing in a number of my other songs. But this version with the EC gang is definitely the most... recent   ;)
Kidding. 
It's actually like a totally different piece of music, where these guys flexed their masterful musical muscles to take it to a place I would never have imagined on my own! Fantastic job guys, really. 

These are a couple other versions based on the main piano theme:

This was brought to us by Mark, who had written it a while back, but wanted to dust it off and give the Eclectic Collective a shot at it. He recorded it with a keen eye toward collaboration with an electric piano synth with heavy stereo tremolo. We just recently found Mark, and he has proven to be a very creative, passionate, and easy to work with collaborator—all the good things. 
  Mark set it loose to Josh first, who of course got Ken in on the act before anything else could transpire. After Ken added his wildly creative, very skillful drum beat, Josh was able to come up with a suitable bass line. He also came up with the lap slide part you hear with the heavy tremolo. Then they turned it over to Stephen, who added a very psychedelic, electrifying solo at the end. Also, JJ set upon it with a very hooky organ. 
  Last, but certainly not least, MD came up with the lyrics, which are a metaphor for trying to break into the business of music, and delivered his fiery vocals, too. Then, we all realized that the song wasn't long enough for our ambitions, so Ken came up with an idea for the arrangement, and lengthened the song to suit our needs. He also very ably mixed and produced this one for us. We had a lot of fun working on Mark's tune. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Lyrics (by The Mysterious Decibel):
 
Sometimes when we shout they can't hear us under the flow
Of the rapids

I'm screaming from the other side of the river
A shot to try
can you hear me?
I'm jumping in and swimming straight to you

All I can say is I tried
I tried and I met my own waterfall
A short way down
Did I try hard enough?
Cuz I hit the rocks below just hard enough
To hibernate me without a care
It's all just business and never fair

El Baile Sucedáneo

Music composed in 2014 only with native Music Studio 2 instruments.

Back then I only used MS2 and Alchemy.

One of the last compositions before using kv 331 and other synthesizers.

It is fully remixed and equalized.

I have 7 new tracks, but due to the covid 19, I can't edit them properly in my "sound studio", which is no other than my car.

It’s an old theme, but I will appreciate your opinions.

Take care.
