OBSCURITY TO COMPLETE TRIVIALITY

I’ve got a dirty car
I’ve got a dirty memory
Well I came so far, walking bar to bar with the enemy

Can you even recall my name?
I’m on the slide passing obscurity
I have only myself to blame
I’m on the slide passing obscurity to complete  triviality

I’ve got a bloodied nose
But all the well-wishes have gone
That’s how it goes, I’m taking blows and have done all along

I have a tainted pride
Do you still have the autograph
Or was it chucked outside, to rot into the night for the last laugh

Can you even recall my name?
I’m on the slide passing obscurity
I have only myself to blame
I’m on the slide passing obscurity to complete triviality

And trust in yourself or it’s all in vain

I think a wrote a song
I think it had your name in it
You hummed it all night long, although it wasn’t strong, though someone sampled it

I’ve got a dirty car
It was a new one recently
Well I came so far, blah blah blah blah and I’m bowing out indecently

Obscurity to Complete Triviality (Marc Freak and Kris Bolin)

wanted to cover Katrina and the waves -too happy- i  had to minor the shit out of it - changed the lyrics to make it a break up song -hope u enjoy

I used to think maybe you loved me now babe I'm unsure
Expect me to wait for the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I reach for my phone gotta sit myself down
'Cause I just can't wait till you text me you're coming around
I'm walking on sunshine, 
I'm walking on sunshine, 
I'm walking on sunshine, 
And don't it feel good!


I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that’s not  true
And I don't want to spend my whole life, just waiting for you
I don't want u back for the weekend
Not back for a day, 
I really don’t want you back dont expect me to stay

I'm walking on sunshine
I'm walking on sunshine,
I'm walking on sunshine,
and dont it feel good

I feel alive, I feel alive, I leave the love that wasnt  real
I feel alive, I feel alive, I leave the love that wasnt real
and dont it feel good

walking on sunshine -purpleclaire (cover)

Yet that not many project💩

I made a mistake✅
Let's celebrate🥳

Who are you?🤷🏽‍♂️
Who are they?🤡
What ya make?💰
All I'm seeing is fake🤡

Who said it was a simulation?😆
Self assimilated monsters emerging,💀
Insular and sieved from the sun,🌑
Their blue pill gone,🌑
It's just Merovingian,.🤎
Self matrix made...👨🏽‍💻
You wanna fight?🤌🏽
Fight thee...🧘🏽‍♂️
Cause I'm free.🫠
Blue pill seed. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

How can lies roam free🌑
Who are you?🤷🏽‍♂️
Agnostic 'ism to me🤷🏽‍♂️
Tell the youth🔆
Truth is light to takel🔆
A good mind matrix made🔆
Ahhh😌


Shout out to Neno J.
A fabulous guitarist. After listening to Neno... I picked up my only nylon stringed guitar because I wanted to give a few classical scales a try. I got distracted from that and wrote this song on that guitar. Possibly the first ever song written on it. I used to. e my nephews and he gave it back to me a short time ago because he doesn't play.

Here's Neno

When pining too many fake personas in our world - Im not talking about AI... I'm talking about how humans portray themselves... It's nice to celebrate the very real and brilliant like Neno J.'s musical craftsmanship. So inspiring... What Bach would do if he landed today maybe 🎧

Real or Fake

objectively, probably not my best work.  but every song has a story, and maybe someday i'll tell you this one...

Kill Me

This song came to me from Tommy Johnson (1896 - 1956) via Canned Heat. I pulled it about a bit, singing it in British clubs and bars for a couple of decades.

Celebrate Love

Cast of characters:

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — VST orchestration, vocals, lyrics, and composition

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums, percussion

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Fender Precion four-string fretted bass, and Roland Phantom synthesizer

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T model electric guitar

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST string arrangement

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, mix, and production

 This song began as a musical letter written, composed, and sung by Carl to Eclectic Collective. Carl and Josh had been sniffing around each other's pages, admiring each other's work and collaborators. So Carl reached out with this friendly, uplifting song, as a gift to the band. 
  Ken was first in line, adding his awesome, driving drums to give us a heartbeat to build upon. Josh came along next and completed the rhythm section with his trusty four-string fretless bass. Stephen was next up to bat, adding his dynamic raspy guitar, which almost sounds like an electrified fiddle. Next up, Mark followed with his trippy synth and powerful strings to add to Carl's original composition. 

  We had it pretty much done sounding, but wanted to spice it up a bit, so we came up with the idea for a coda. Josh added his bass and synth for it, and Tez came up with the thrilling guitar part of it, as well. Tez also added the thrilling guitar intro, too. 
  Once it was in the can, we asked Tez to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion.

  This is the first song EC has done with Carl, but we know it won't be the last. We all admire him for his creativity, proficiency, and prolificacy. His page is worth a stroll, too, as it contains a lot of gems.

  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark: 

Hey Collective Seeds,

Let's work things out across that water
There's a cable under sea,
We can send all sorts of...
Music/Words/Sounds - It's insane!
Look Lads,
That's life in the fastlane!

So it's ones and zeros
Mine and yours and theres
We are all heroes...

Watching the fire,
From a distance we're warm
But not from their mire,
From this musical charm.
It's a bonfire,
An inferno.
Earth got plenty to turn off...

So we can sing to love
And we can play for more dove.
Let's combine our powers. Collective!
A Paddy/Yankee toasted sandwich

Tex festival streak
Psyched for more free
K2 to peak
Mistermark chimes ' found life fought
Give, You Entheogenic Psychonaught
Collective lands
Psyched for more free

Dear Collective - (Eclectic Collective and The Beautiful Dark)

When an organisation is always ruled by men.  In every other walk of life, we do not call it faith. 

When The Pope's A Girl

With "Temporary Souls", Esplanada offers a musical meditation on fragility and impermanence. Between ethereal layers, a warm bass, and a muted groove that at times recalls the rhythmic elegance of Fleetwood Mac, the track moves forward like a lucid dream, carried by introspective vocals and arrangements that favor space and nuance. A piece that lingers in suspension long after its final note.

Temporary Souls

ProdLMG

Darling come over here and bite my tongue 
She wanna fuck with me well baby I do it rough 
I can be a innocent boy but don’t think I can be tough 
But I don’t think we can ever fall in love cuz

I have regrets
And you have regrets 
We are a mess 
And your always upset 
I shouldn’t have left 
But was it for the best?
I have regrets
And you have regrets 

Whose blood is this all over my pants?
That text was really hard to digest
Should I talk to you again? 
Maybe start over and just be friends?
I’ll be honest I do miss your messages 

Tell me all about those converse
Did you even went to that concert?
While I’m here alone with these monsters
I wish I stayed a little bit longer 

You wanted to run didn’t hold my hand 
You were my baby why didn’t I understand?

She’s know where I’m at 
But I fucked it up she don’t want me back 

I have regrets
And you have regrets 
We are a mess 
And your always upset 
I shouldn’t have left 
But was it for the best?
I have regrets
And you have regrets

Regrets.
