An awesome track.  Great pulsating vibe.  Great job, guys.

Great collab with a nice live feeling, guys!

Life comes like a wrecking ball
First you rise then you fall 

I know where I’m going wrong 

Punches will catch you cold 
Unless you learn to duck  and roll 

I know where I’m going wrong
I know where I’m going wrong

At night 
Hold tight 
Leave in the dead of night 

On first sight 
You just might 
Leave in the dead of night 

Closed eyes
Save lives 
Leave in the dead of night 

On first sight 
You just might 
Leave in the dead of night 

Find the light and flick the switch 
Your in charge be more positive 

Now You know where your going wrong

At night 
Hold tight 
Leave in the dead of night 

On first sight 
You just might 
Leave in the dead of night 

Closed eyes
Save lives 
Leave in the dead of night 

On first sight 
You just might 
Leave in the dead of night

Solo till fade

Dead of Night

No Words

About the song 
Since the beginning of time, the wind has always been there, a beautiful and dangerous power of nature, totally unpredictable, one that man has harnessed to power their sails and lately to generate electricity. I know the wind fairly well being a windsurfer and fair weather sailor. I know how beautiful and dangerous the wind can be. I have great respect for the wind and the Sea and always will have and this song is a tribute to her.  

I would like to thank Finn Eces,  my friend and co-writer of this song. Finn and I have been quite a number of songs under our belts now and I think it must be nearly time for the 1st Album Finn. 
Finn’s voice and production skills have really taken “ The wind “ to a new level,  fine tuning of the lyrics, adding in of that driving bass and funky guitar as well as those beautiful harmony vocals really set this song up to be a real Summer hit in all the beach bars around the world ( If Only )

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 
  Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 
  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.
  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you feeling about all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A simple woweluja
Simple halleluja

Wowlelujah  - The Eclectic Collective with Jeff Roberts

Trio In G Major - Movement 1

I had a nostalgic day today. As I was just messing with my DAW did I also need to write down some fitting words to my "random plonks". I was first not going to open it but my friend known as SolarRae convinced me others.

Here are the words in writing:

There’s something about looking back about glancing over your shoulder at the road already traveled. It’s like tracing the edges of a dream, 
halfforgotten but still vivid in the way it made you feel. Time becomes less a straight line and more a circle, a loop where everything you were, everything you created, still lives, breathing just beneath the surface.

It’s strange how the past can feel more alive than the present sometimes. The spontaneity, the spark of an idea, the way the world used to stretch out in front of you limitless, unbroken. Back then, there were no barriers. No walls. Just endless possibilities, like the universe itself was unfolding just for you. It’s as if time itself wasn’t something to be measured, but something to be played with. You didn’t chase it; you danced with it.

Those moments they never leave you. They echo, like stardust still drifting through the cosmos. You were part of that great expanse once, untethered, where joy wasn’t something you sought, but something you radiated. You didn’t need permission to be free; you simply were.

And in that freedom, there was creation. There was no need to justify or explain what you did. You just did. Life was a blank canvas, waiting for whatever burst of color you felt like throwing at it. It wasn’t about making sense it was about being. The act of living itself was an art form, unfiltered, spontaneous, raw.

The beauty of it all is that those moments aren’t lost. They aren’t confined to some distant corner of your mind, gathering dust. No they are still there, woven into the fabric of who you are. They pulse beneath the surface, ready to be rediscovered at any time. All you have to do is close your eyes, take a breath, and there it is like light from a faraway star, still shining even after all this time.

Maybe that’s what nostalgia really is. Not a longing for the past, but a reminder that the energy, the creativity, the joy it’s all still within you. It never really leaves. It’s waiting, always, like a heartbeat, quietly reminding you that you’ve been free before, and you can be free again.

Nostalgic

I really wanted to do a song with female vocals and found some of @Miscliqued on Looperman. One of the hardest parts was the mixing, please DM or comment your feedback and tips for improvement.

Fallin' in love (ft. Miscliqued)

You’re the color the sun cannot create
A shade beyond light, a love I can’t replicate
Without you, me and the stars would fade
The sky would be empty, dreams would decay


Without you, the night loses its flame
Every constellation forgets its name
You’ve always been a part of something more
A universe I was searching for


Once again, I’m apart
A part of something bigger than my heart
A part of you, and all you are
From here to the endless stars
Once again, I’m apart
A part of something bigger than my heart
A part of you…
Forever true


In every breath, in every sound
Your presence pulls me, wraps me around
Like gravity that I can’t fight
You hold my soul in the quiet night


Once again, I’m apart
A part of something bigger than my heart
A part of you, and all you are
From here to the endless stars
Once again, I’m apart
A part of something bigger than my heart
A part of you…
Forever true


You’re the color the sun can’t create
The reason the night feels awake
You’re the meaning in all I do
A part of me… is always you


A part of you
Forever true

Give yourself a chance
Let yourself win
It's time you begin
To live
In your skin

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

It may have been tough
Before
But today
Will change
When you head out the door

Follow your heart
Follow your dreams
Follow your passion
It's not a lot
So it seems

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

If you know that you'll be fine
Give yourself permission
It is time
It is time

Accept
Who you are
Accept your ways
Nobody is perfect
You should not be afraid

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

If you know that you'll be fine
Give yourself permission
It is time
It is time

It is time
Who you are
Accept your ways
Nobody is perfect
You should not be afraid

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give Yourself a Chance (Reprise)
