Cast of characters:

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass
This song began with Mark, who fleshed out the entire thing, from the rhythm section, to the organ that you hear in there, to the lyrics and vocals, before he laid it on the rest of us. We all got a chuckle from the tongue in cheek humor of the lyrics, and were excited to work on a song about an anachronistic adventure of a soulful caveman. 
  Ken was first up with his version of the the beat, finding the soul in the rhythm. Josh was next up, of course, using his "normie" bass for the his version of the line. Once the rhythm section was in place, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, soulful e. piano to the mix. 
  Now that they had a solid foundation on which to play, Stephen and Tez added their guitar magic to the mix. Stephen with the rhythm and the fills, and Tez with the ripping solo at the end. Mark also added the festive VST steel drums that you hear throughout at this point, too. Now that the music was laid down, he perfected his awesome vocals to complete it.
  It was in the can at that point, and just needed Mark to throw a pro sounding mix on it. Then, Stephen mastered it in his always expert way to finish it off.
Mark wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song (a la Al Green), which he did, all on his own. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song, both of which you can find on Mark's page. Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions. 
  This was a real team effort, even though it's really Mark's baby. The Eclectic Collective has many different methods of creating music. This one was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by mistermark:
Walking through this concrete jungle
I’m just trying to stay out of the way 
just me and ol’ Rex, my furry companion 
we been fielding funky looks all day
then somebody saw me kicking rocks with my bare toes
he said buddy have you lost your way?
then I sat right down and I started to cry
and this is what I had to say…
I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say 
Sittin’ in my man cave watching the clock crawl
there's nothing good on my tv 
my big grubby hands can’t flip thru the channels
i cant even hold a cup of tea
I was chatting on the phone making plans with a lady
a little bit of company
but my date split QUICK when I opened the door
man I wonder what’s wrong with me
I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break now
the ladies say I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say
The big city’s fine but something’s on my mind
I feel a little incomplete
I miss my old club, for rustling up some grub
and the touch of grass below my feet
I’ve been around longer than all your creation, 
like the rocks and trees and streams
I wanna get back home, where forever I’ll roam
even if it’s only in my dreams
I’m a caveman
I can’t catch a break 
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say
I’m a caveman, 
must be come kinda mistake
everybody says I’m so passé 
well I’m a - a caveman
It’s too much to take
but I’m gunna get back some day

Lyrics

Like every morning,
I turn on the radio,
like every morning,
Bad news makes the show,
depressing grayness,
absent brightness,

war wins everywhere,
the climate change,
floods everywhere,
drought even stranger,

Before it's too late,
let's sing of love,
before it's too late,
let's pray to the lord god,
let's forget this nightmare,
let's stop all these wars,

Lyrics :
Je reçois 
très nettement 
ton flot ininterrompu 
je le ressens sur les cheveux ondulants devant mon oreille 
Cet instant friable et fragile 
j’imagine tes doigts repousser les mèches
toi si calme et habile 
Ta bouche approchant du berceau de mes rêves 


Derrière les pixels, l’amour éblouit et vacille,
Des ondes qui frémissent, puissantes et subtiles,
Ta bouche absente, mais ton souffle dans mes lignes,
Chaque mot est une flèche, entre douceur et spleen.


Frissons ininterrompus des réseaux
Du lien social
Qui ravalent 800 km géographiques en un dixième de secondes 
Pratique 

Les corps à distance, mais nos cœurs font l’heure,
On cherche des odeurs qu’aucun écran ne leurre,
L’écho de ta voix danse, mais reste irréel,
J’t’imagine entière, sans savoir l’essentiel.

Puis vient
Le baiser virtuel
Là 
A cet instant 
La présence fait défaut 
Tout manque même ce qu'on ignore encore 

Est ce toi ou moi que j’aime que je projette dans ces mots
est ce toi ou moi ?

J’veux sentir ta peau, briser l’écran en mille,
Le goût d’un baiser qu’aucun rêve ne compile,
Te voir sans lumière bleue, ton sourire au naturel,
Chaque sens en alerte, mais le vide est cruel. 

J’attends son message dans mes notifications
je me suis faite belle pour rester à la maison
Chaque baiser virtuel comble le vide
érige un pont entre nos désirs…


Love on the line, sous tension, je déraille,
Chaque écran nous éloigne, chaque regard déraille,
On cherche le réel dans un monde qui s’emballe,
Un souffle, une trace, loin des ombres digitales.

Des cœurs en story des cœurs en retour
Des cœurs chauds qui se cherchent
Se caressent du doigt qui glisse
Sur nos écrans si lisses 

Cadre qui divise, mais les mots s’entrechoquent,
Nos rêves à deux surfent sur un fil en stock,
Des likes, des vues, ça brûle, mais ça suffoque,
Un feu sans flammes qui m’étouffe, qui me bloque,
Les gestes figés, suspendus dans le vide,  				 piano


L’envie me rattrape, mais la peur me décide,
À te chercher encore, à défier l’invisible,
L’amour court sans répit, un combat indicible

800 km en train 
 parcourus de part et d’autre
quel sera ton parfum
comment accueillerai je tes mots ?

Ces vibrations existeront-elles encore
quand nous nous retrouverons en corps

Love on the line, sous tension, je déraille,
Chaque écran nous éloigne, chaque regard déraille,
On cherche le réel dans un monde qui s’emballe,
Un souffle, une trace, loin des ombres digitales.

Ecstatic Contemplation of Unfolding Realities (HyLGZ22, La Gazelle, Pupa Ssayag)

lyrics

Was the winds of winter
Things should've ended
I waited in the twilight
You came into my life
You boosted my ego
An endorphin overflow
We both were looking good then
Never mind the bigger sin
All the people that were hurt
But no one said a word
You were my little secret
I was your biggest mistake

Big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake

But you sucked me in
It was all a lie
(your big mistake)
I thought we had a future shining bright
Your big mistake

Your big mistake
Your big mistake
When it ended it was a relief
It was all a big mistake

Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake

Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake

Big Mistake

Krolser dan de krolste kat (lyrics)     collab Damga

Klagend, jammerend komt ze als een krolse kat de trap af. 
Keionrustig , kan niet slapen,  komt, zoekt en vindt je aandacht.
draait haar kopje en krullende wimpers kijken je vragend aan: kom dichterbij.

Ze ronkt, knort , porrrt, 
ze schart, ze krabt,

traduction
En se plaignant, en pleurnichant, elle descend les escaliers comme une chatte en chaleur.
Très agité, n'arrive pas à dormir, vient, cherche et trouve votre attention.
tourne la tête et les cils bouclés vous regardent d'un air interrogateur : approchez-vous.

Elle grogne, grogne, pique, gratte, gratte,

krolser dan de krolste kat (collab Damga)
