Ok...  I'm just having a pint after work, y'know, it's been a long day - it's me right.
Well, I see this very attractive woman: she doesn't look happy, mind, she looks sad.

Me? Well, I'm here on vacation. I'm just a country girl in the city, where there's lots of twits about. Well... not as many as you'd think actually. Ah, still, I was very lonely... and then I saw him, in a pub...
and so it began...

Well, everyone was still and now they dance around

It’s like the music is grooving through the fabric of the town
You look to me and the fire glows

The landlord laughs and everybody knows
A few words, a hello, a 'how-do-you-do'

You stupid bloody peasant and the words that you use
You know it’s not the vodka that’s burning in my veins
It’s the power of love igniting into flames

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

There’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A man to lean on and adore

A look will do when words won’t say

I try to talk and for once my words
Come out my mouth and are clearly heard

I listen I laugh - you’re a goofy prick
I toss my hair as I feel us click

It’s like my life so far has been biding time
Til I meet you and my world begins to rhyme

I see all the colours that were hidden in haste
When I learned the pain of love laid waste

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

So, there’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A love to protect and adore

A look will do when words can’t say

Do... you think ye mightn't fancy another?

Well, I suppose... but only if you're paying

Pub Love (ft. Sarah Paradise-Brown)

A song about struggling to get along with people

Hanging On

These days I’m just hanging on like
I’ve never lived in the past
Even though I want to feel sad
I know it’s me
Who else could it be? 

Some days I’m just moving on like 
I can’t make everyone laugh
Some people just want to feel bad
Even though I'll never know why
It matters to me
When have you ever tried
Loving you

Everytime something good comes along
We’ve gone and messed it all up
‘Cause I’m just a little bit wrong
About you

The days are just trollin’ on like
I’ve never been more unright
You’ve never been more alright

It sounds like its a good time
For another really big fight
Can we just stop and hold tight

Until I’m just hanging on like
I don’t know why I’m so mad
Maybe if I should try to feel glad
Until I’m free
There’s no guarantees




Hangin On

A go at Pink Floyd's eternal favourite. Apologies to the afficionado's there is no guitar solo at the start; I tried one, but it didn't sound right.

Cast of characters:

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, synth, seed idea

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –  vocals, lyrics, mix, and production

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–banjo, guitar, sitar, and final mastering

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, seed idea

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four-string fretless bass

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

The Dog-Eared Book Of Life

It’s a common trait
But I play it close to the chest
I got a losers hand
But with it I’ll do my best

These yesterday looks
They’re now all I’ve got
That and a lottery heart
Were doomed from the start

It’s a dog-eared book
This book of life
It’s words of wisdom faded
In this book of life

It’s here and it’s now
I got it all figured out somehow
You don’t need none of those fancy things
All’s you need is what time will allow

I’ve been born to play a part
These things predetermined
Right there from the start
The lesson in service of the sermon

It’s a dog-eared book
This book of life
It’s words of wisdom faded
In this book of life
