I like the loose just-about-to-disintegrate sound

This is really interesting - I hear some of your signature sound at the end, but the melodic parts at the beginning provise a great buildup to it and give this piece a really cool dynamic range! I really like the direction you're taking!

I love it! brutal yet mysterious and brooding. amazing drumming!!!

Suitably warped, psychedelic and soothing all at the same time...bravo

A song about one of the biggest frauds in history with the main suspect still ON THE RUN. Where are the missing 2,000,000,000.- US Dollars?
#Wirecard #Marsalek #fintech

LYRICS:
As little boy he absorbed the stories
About violence, fear and war
Too young to understand the meaning
The excitement he adored

Approved by granddad’s friends and contacts
Not knowing that he was a scam
Fabricating firms and contracts
Politicians eagerly signed

A shabby shelter secured with cash
But one day they will sell him, when gone the stash
On the run, Always on the run
On the run, Always on the run

Knowledge was used to manipulate people
Gambling and porn the twisted tools
Shaping fintech, he became a hero
Cards and wires the rules

A shabby shelter secured with cash
But one day they will sell him, when gone the stash
On the run, Always on the run
On the run, Always on the run

The fraudulent fortress finally fainted
He vanished without a sound
Power and wealth had left him tainted
Two billion nowhere to be found

A shabby shelter secured with cash
But one day they will sell him, when gone the stash
On the run, Always on the run
On the run, Always on the run

They approved it all
Yet no one could recall (4x)

On The Run

Original song I started writing this back in 2016. It was one of those songs that I always felt like it was missing something...and years later it really came together. Sometimes it's just about the right timing. I'm thankful of the inspiration from such a beautiful soul(Cherry) Such amazing memories! From meeting at a downtown Austin music venue, flying up to Canada, to walking across a small town bridge. Thanks for listening!:)

For the Rest of your Life

You deserve to walk on diamonds
You deserve to sleep on islands
I don't care how old I get
I'll open every door
Love you more and more
Always keep you warm
And fight through every storm

You...Have me...For the rest of your life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life

You deserve to fly like ravens
You deserve to touch the heavens
I don't care how old I get
I'll pull out every chair 
Compliment your hair
Always share my food
And love your every mood

You...Have me...For the rest of you life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life

Tonight I feel so bright
Tonight I feel so bright with you 
So bright with you 
Oh!

And you...Have me, for the rest of, for the rest of you life

You deserve to walk on diamonds
You deserve to sleep on islands
Yes you do

For the Rest of Your Life (Original song live)

Can’t chase the days
They’re gone
You can find out what is left of you
trading your ways
for a life of gratitude
send her this song
before the train leaves out of Berney Arms

Play to this paltry rhyme
Stay near the edge of time
Tides of tears still drying
Fear so cold, melt the ice with fire

The glow
Of that darkened window
Save my soul
For the haunted kingdom
Hear the train, once again, my babe
Wring the nape of all that God creates

Hear the train once, again, my babe
Wring the nape of all that God creates

Element

you can't know what you want if you don't know what you have
to find someone to trust you must first trust yourself
if you are your own person.don't run with the crowd
then don't let talking heads put words into your mouth

you fear things that aren't real
hate people you don't know
you're surrounded by bounty but you're hungry all the time
you can't see the beauty
cause your dark soul's made you blind
turn off the internet and use your own mind

you can't know what you want....

if your priest or your iman is telling you to kill
is he talking as a man or expressing God's will
do you really think if you think this all through
that God wants you to kill someone that you never knew

you can't know what you want...

so look all around you
use your own eyes and ears
you have the strength within you
do do right without fear

trust yourself 2

This song began with Stephen, who recorded it on his acoustic guitar and bass to a programmed drum track a few months ago. We were all thrilled to work on it, even though it sat in BandLab as a project for almost a month before Stephen separated the tracks, thus allowing us to trickle in our parts. JJ was first to jump on it, because he could before the tracks were separated, as his part is completely his idea. He added the organ that really set up the entire sound of both dominant sections of the song. 

  Ken was first up to the project once the tracks were replaceable, making the wild, driving beat his own. Inspired by both JPJ and Michael Ivins, Josh laid down his bass line, trying to match Ken's energy. Last, but not least, Mark jumped in with the rumbling timpani. He also added the flavorful harmonica, and unique jaw harp you hear throughout, as well. Finally, Mark added the hambone percussion at the end of the song, too, which we all consider a treat.

Stephen wasn't done with it, though, and still had some magic to sprinkle. He went in and added the howling electric guitar you hear prominently in the second main section. Also, he added the tempting intro with his acoustic guitar and electric mandolin that looks like a Telecaster guitar. 

  Once it was in the bag, we thought it appropriate for our master mixer Stephen to put it to bed, which he did in his always expert manner. Mark did help with the production, though, as he's very good with editing and spotting mistakes that need to be corrected.

  This is a gift from Stephen to all of us, and you, too. It to
ok a lot of teamwork to make the dream work, as always for Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

The story of cheerful driver Mauricio Babilonia and about his great love for Meme Buendia. About how a shotgun blast forever confined him to a hospital bed. About how Meme was forcibly taken overseas, to a distant mountain monastery, in whose damp and cold walls she was ordered to forget forever the bright image of her beloved - Mauricio Babilonia, a smiling guy, permanently surrounded by a cloud of fluttering yellow butterflies...

Sounds that are overly pleasing to the ears can hide something behind their saccharine charm. A tool of influence that can be purveyed in a malignant manner. A siren song used to achieve darker means. All that glitters is not gold... 

A preview of a potential album concept. I aim to showcase the sound of what you can expect on upcoming material. 

A Cascading Serenade into the Inferno (Preview)

When pirates came to party Oh what a sight 
The stars above lit up the night 
Swords in the air A toast to the crew 
The treasure was laughter The gold was the brew

When pirates came to party

Lyrics to follow

One note... A buddy just said to me man we are just vessels for songs and if the song wants life it picks one of us. I had never given it too much thought, but this song feels that way at the moment 

I might finally find a straight jacket with this rabbit hole... Music has consciousness Hmmmm... Or better imagined... Could it actually have some pre existing universal intent of some kind which we merely channel...

Plenty of my songs seem alien to me right after I make them as if they came from somewhere else. I know that sounds crazy but I do note the feeling when it's there and move on
