Closing credit song from the film Spanking the Monkey - Song written by Mark Sandman of Morphine, rendition by JTSUNRISE 

Spanking the Monkey is a 1994 American sick comedy film written and directed by David O. Russell. It was filmed in Pawling, New York 

Fresh from the low-fi basement, open A and dubs on oldschool 4-track 

In Spite of Me by Morphine on Cure for Pain, 1993

**Note**
Simple, plaintive, and timeless.
A protagonist reminiscing on his lost love, made even more sad by the agony he's going through.
The original track features a picked mandolin carrying the melody but these chords are a good approximation.

[Intro]
D     G

[Verse 1]
     D                            G
Last night I told a stranger all about you
     D                          G
They smiled patiently in disbelief
  D                                G
I always knew you would succeed no matter what you tried

[Chorus]
      C               G              D       G
And I know you did it all in spite of me

D     G
In spite of me

[Verse 2]
          D                              G
Still I'm proud to have know you for the short time that I did
D                                    G
Proud to have been a step up on your way
D                          G
Proud to be part of your illustrious career

[Chorus]
      C               G              D      G
And I know you did it all in spite of me
            D      G
In spite of me

D     G

[Bridge]
C                               G
Late last night I saw you in my living room
    C                          G
You seemed so close but yet so cold
      C                                 G
For a long time I thought you were coming back to me
      D                          G
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel
   D         G
So cruel

D     G

[Chorus]
      C               G              D     G
And I know you did it all in spite of me
            D     G
In spite of me

lyric


I don’t believe what I can see
What is the real?
I believe what I feel impulse
What is the real?

Stop asking 
Your asking make a lot of questions
Stop asking
I’m thinking about my rainbow sky
Stop asking
You’re living just your stories
Stop asking
I’m living just my own story
I don’t believe what I can see
What is the real?
I believe what I feel impulse
What is the real?

Where do I go when I done my story?
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go?

The Real   (Tot.Prod)

I wrote this song during the pandemic during lock down. I'm glad I do not feel this way anymore; however, you'll never know the good times if you don't have some bad. I really appreciated what Jessica Lloyd recently wrote about this song. You can check her review out with the attached link. Thanks for listening. 

"I loved the beat on “Dream #50” I’m not entirely sure if it was manipulated guitar or synths but everything here has a symbiotic relationship. It sounded like one moving organism. The vocals are again quite catchy and haunting."

Dream #50

Dream # 50

This is a re-imagining/redux of an original song written way back in 1985. It was a signature song for an LA band I was in at the time called The Program. Originally written as a straight ahead rock tune, the funky and catchy bass pattern was the central component of the song. This new arrangement and recording maintains that original bass pattern and vibe, but definitely takes the tune into completely new realms! Enjoy!

Program Me (Inflated Mix)

written by one of the best..... Marty Robbins......cheers for listening

Big Iron  (Marty Robbins)

This is a song that JJ came up with on the electric piano and shared with the rest of us. He's done a significant portion of the songwriting for the Eclectic Collective, and always gives us quality songs, to which are easy to add our voices. When he sent it to us, he had a rough bass on there that sounded like Lust for Life. Ken came up with a killer and appropriate beat, which, if you can picture Lust For Life, included a lot of accentuated bass kicks. So, Josh took and went with that, and came up with a funky bass line. Ken and he kicked it back and forth a few times till they linked up. Then JJ added some funky ass organ and trippy retro synth to spice it up.
  Then it was time to send it to the guitarist. Tez laid down some smoking lead solos throughout, with his signature fiery guitar tone and amazing licks. Then Stephen funked it up even more with a fonky-ass wah guitar track.
  Ken produced and mixed this one for us, and what an excellent job he did, too. This was so much fun to create. We all hope you enjoy listening to our jam as much as we did playing it.

Where Is My Mind - Pixies Cover (Music by Brutforce)

Cast of characters:
Steve's Planet--@steve-vervaet—Steve—acustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–production and mix 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass, mandolin, organ, and strings orchestration 

This is a song that Steve wrote, and has released on his page. He sings it brilliantly, and plays guitar, too. He sent it to Josh to work on with him. Josh added the bass, strings, and organ. But it needed drums. And luckily he knows a great drummer named Ken, who added exactly what it needed. Then we sent it to Tez for a bit of his production and mixing wizardry. It's a totally different sound than we're all used to, but it was a lot of fun to put together. We hope you enjoy it, too.

Crazy About Ya - The Eclectic Collective

Does anyone really listen to anyone else these days? Story of a person who thinks he's a good listener, but isn't. Kind of a dark and cynical song.
This is a rough demo never meant for release. But, maybe someone will listen...

Lyrics:
In the job interview
He didn't even ask me any questions
I just sat
And listened to him talk
He said: Just because my Father started this business
Doesn't mean I didn't fight for everything I have
I noticed his ringtone
Was Metallica's
Enter Sandman
(Oh) he said: Son, there's 2 types of people in this world
The ones that get thing done
And the ones that just let things go
Oh, they will never know
The thrill of selling burner phones
And counterfeit colognes

He said: You're a good listener!
Hell Yeah, I'm a good listener!
Good listener blues
Give me all the details of your life
The shrapnel and the hue's
Good listener blues

Sitting in rehab reception
She told me all about her history
And  how she now has a
Spiritual connection
I think
It's the poor magician
Who gives away his misdirection
Did she mistake my blank stare?
For her mis-perception?

She said: You're a good listener!
Hell yeah, I'm a good listener!
Good listener blues
is it a shoulder that you can use?
Give me all the details of your life
Cut through the sinew
To your truth
Good listener blues
Good listener blues

I took the story of my day
I wrote it down
Now you're suffering too!

Good Listener Blues
