Colliding Galaxies

I created this song at home with a MacBook and Keyboard. No professional equipment. I wanted to show the real side to my music; which is just lots of practicing and coming up with ideas in my bedroom! The music is totally authentic and true (it’s just as I sang it on the day, without production) therefore it has a raw feel to it. 
It tells the story of saying goodbye to someone who no longer makes you happy, even though you still care about them.
It's about making the right decision even if it feels painful.

Crater (Lyrics) 

I keep on wondering if you hadn’t left me
Just keep thinking how alone l’d not be 
I’m just waiting (waiting) for a sign 

I didn’t stop you 
I didn’t wanna make a fuss 
You didn’t even try to discuss 
I guess it’s over 
You’re gone (you’re gone) 

You went away I didn’t stop you 
Didn’t make you stay 
I was just sad because 
I never thought you’d treat me this way 
But you did 
And now you’re gone 

Right from the start
It was you all along (you left a crater) 
That’s why it’s here you belong (you left a crater) 
There could’ve been an us 
But you didn’t have the guts 
To show (you left a crater) 
You left a crater 

And I wonder if you’re ever gonna come back 
And you really never let me down 
And I really thought you’d make me proud 
But I guess that’s not the way things are 
I would never dare 
Leave without saying a word 
You didn’t even care 
I would never do such a thing (You left a crater)

► Lyrics ◄
Everything at the right level
Balance is natural
It's what keeps you standing
What makes you run
Makes you sit, makes you think

When something is wrong
In imbalance you fall
Like the moon in the sky
Your mind orbits your heart
Levels your tide
Low tide, high tide

No one is happy all the time
Respect the natural
Everything comes and goes
The turn that the day makes
The good air to breathe

In the night that does good
The dream in the good sleep
The difficulties that life brings
At the level of peace
Balance is made
#Rock  #balance #Peace #Respect

Balance

I always look to myself
For an answer I never find
I’m going out my mind
It happens like all the time (the time the time)

Sadness takes me down 
Drains me down my spine 
It happens like all the time

Oh I hope I'll be fine 
(I'm fine I'm fine)

(pre-chorus) 
Cause I was yours but you were not mine
But the life we once had was okay it was fine
That was way back basking in calm-er times
The smiles lotion & that Florida sunshine

(chorus)
I always look to myself I'll never find
I’m going out my mind
It happens like all the time
(the time the time)

(bridge)
Break it down, down a little shot
Have a little wine
Get a little hot
Crash till party time
Then it’s bump and grind (uhh)

(climax - spoken)
Hey two pills later, I’m fine
Been some time 
Since I had a little line, oh yeah!
I’m always chasing more
While I settle for less
But can’t let my mind get dragged through
Their secondhand stress
Hush that noise
Not let it out
‘Cause I’m about to show
What I’m truly about

(chorus 2)
I always look to myself
For an answer I can’t define
Feels like I’m breaking my mind
(It happens all the time the time the time)

Sadness takes me down
Drains me down my spine
It happens like all the time
Oh I hope I'm fine 
(I'm fine I'm fine)

(outro)
If I were to go... 
Would you even care? 
If I just stepped off
Would you just breathe in new air (ahhhhh)?

Saving You for Last

Saving You for Last R&B Version (Draft instr)

Cast of characters:
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster electric guitar, mix, production, and composition
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – synthesizer, vocals, and lyrics
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four string bass
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson cutom T electric guitar, sometimes with an ebow
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth

This song began as an idea Tez came up with on his guitar while on holiday not far from his home in Wales. It had such a solid form, it inspired Mark to write lyrics and come up with vocal melodies within a few days of hearing it for the first time. The two of them have written several songs like this, making them a solid songwriting source for Eclectic Collective.
Once the song had a even more solid form, Ken took added his dynamic, bouncy-groove drums to it. As soon as Ken had the drums down, Josh took his turn, adding the fretless bass and solidifying the groove. Now that the basic framework was done, Stephen added his thrilling electric guitar. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added his really cool psych synth part in the two bridges. Mark also added some awesome backing synth to it, as well, filling out the sound. At the very end of the process, Tez also dropped in the hot intro and outro solos, as well.
Once we had it all in the can, it was time to turn it over to Tez for his expert production and mix. He came up with the idea of adding reverb to the drums, as well as some other compression tricks, which he employed with subtle style.
This, as mentioned, is a great example of what Eclectic Collective can do in house with the composition and songwriting skills of Tez and Mark. The rest of us really had fun working on this one, too, of course. We hope you enjoy listenig to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by mistermark:

There’s something I’m seeking that I’ve never found
but the seed that you planted went deep in the ground
there’s a journey that I’m on and the path is uncertain
the magic fades when you pull back the curtain

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow

There will never come a time when I do you harm
cause my soul is steady when I’m in your arms
and never have I heard music like your Voice
when you call me to you I have no choice

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow

Like a puzzle on the table all the pieces fit
like I’m standing in the dark and a match is lit
and what it all means man I just don’t know
but it’s a powerful feeling and it’s starting to grow

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow


Wherever U Go (Eclectic Collective)

Frank the explorer just 5 years young

A raw, energetic rock track inspired by the spirit of 80s live shows. Crunchy guitars, driving rhythms, and the vibe of a sunset stage—this is pure burning rock.

Bluez it out

I like to listen & comment on tracks because that's how I think I can grow as a musician, by listening to others and being grateful.  

I myself am a singer-songwriter & former instrumentalist. I can sing  comfortablely in bass-baritone (A2 to G4). 

I have over 50 original tracks waiting for me to vocalize, so I post a lot of drafts. I have hundreds & hundreds of drafts! 👍 I post different versions of the same title song, my own remixer! 

Like & repost if you enjoy what you hear & maybe I'll work on it to be produced next (I am learning to produce, too. 

I do not respond to solicitation messages.

Let’s keep" true love "  flowing. 💕🎧
