Drizzling Rain

I am so sick

I am so sick of your shit

Everytime you open your mouth

It’s just shit falling out

$ick

A song about unbalanced relationships. Some of these are public and we are able to observe the consequences in the media. I don't have to mention names, right? You will know once you heard the song :-)

LYRICS

The queen has spoken, she’s always right
Endures the king and appoints the knight
Pawns and rooks adore her, the bishops attest
No matter her decision, she’s convinced that she’s the best

Born as a princess yet all alone
Ignored by default, no square no thrown
Do as you’re told to, depart from dispute
Obey like the others then all will be good

I don’t want to see you crying
I don’t want to see a frown on your face
I will be the one to hold you
Giving you the love you deserve

Appreciation a reward from the wise
Never received praise, no pet no price
Longing for feelings that were never shown
Your heart is divided, you secretly moan

I don’t want to see you crying
I don’t want to see a frown on your face
I will be the one to hold you
Giving you the love you deserve

Live the life that you desire
Not accepting further royal demands
You and I will be together
and love will commence

Full of compassion and the gift to reform
Endlessly tried to, turn cold into warm
Remember that one day, her crown is to fall
The ice will be melting, and you will feel it all

I don’t want to see you crying
I don’t want to see a frown on your face
I will be the one to hold you
Giving you the love that you need

Live the life that you desire
Not accepting further royal demands
You and I will be together
and love will commence

No more royal demands
No more royal demands
No more royal demands

Royal Demands

..maybe love comes walking in... a dreamer in search of true love who loses himself in daydreams and fantasies..composed by STYTZ and played by the band with passion and full commitment!

Lyrics

I´m hooked on a fantasy
A vision in my mind
I´m hangin´around this town
While my mind´s doin´overtime

I need a warm summer night
On a moonlit avenue
With a thrill and a promise
Of  a secret rendezvous

Went to see the pictures in the gallery
Tryin´to find the angel I´m lookin´out for

Señorita of my dreams
I leave my door open tonight
Señorita of my dreams
MAYBE LOVE COMES WALKIN´IN...............

She must be waitin´for me
Somewhere out there in the night
With a warm and tender smile
A smile as bright as the daylight

Lookin´at the passers-by on the street
Searching for the angel I´ve been dreamin´of

Señorita of my dreams
I leave my door open tonight
Señorita of my dreams
MAYBE LOVE COMES WALKIN´IN.....................

Love Comes Walkin' In

Cast of characters:
Jonathan Beckenstein — @jonathan_beckenstein — acoustic guitar, composition

Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – bass, vocals, and lyrics

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Roland FP-10 piano and Collings mandolin

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T slide guitar, production, mix, and mastering

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – harmonica, edited fiddle samples, and jaw harp

This song began when Jonathan wrote it on his acoustic guitar several months ago with the intention of developing it into a larger song. When Josh approached him about doing a collaboration, Jonathan thought this one would fit the bill. I should say at this point how much we all admire Jonathan and enjoy his music. On the unlikely chance you aren't already familiar with his music, I suggest you go hop on his page and check it out. 

  All that to explain the level of excitement that ran through Eclectic Collective when Josh shared the project with the group. Chris was first to jump on it, coming up with his intricate bass line even before Ken added his moving drums, although they went back and forth a couple of times to create the rhythm section. Josh jumped on right after that part was complete, adding his mandolin and piano to the mix. Steven was next up, adding his howling slide throughout. Last, but certainly not least, Mark came up with the driving harmonica and twangy jaw harp, and the raspy fiddle, adding them all to complete the instruments. 

  At this point, we had a pretty good instrumental song on our hands. However, Chris decided to give it the extra kick by adding the vocals, the lyrics for which he wrote himself. Our multitalented drummer, Ken, added the vocal harmonies shortly after, too.

  Now that it was in the bag, we needed some production for it. So, we turned to Stephen, who mixed and mastered it in his always expert fashion. 

  This song is a real treat for everyone in the band, as I mentioned earlie. We are all very grateful to Jonathan for sharing this song with us, and had a wonderful time helping bring it to life. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by cgmaness:
 Come on now let's break a leg,
We've got it made in the shade.
One more day, go out and play.
I guarantee we've got it made.
Oh, we've got it made.
Happy to be with my friends today.
Fill up your drink whatever it may take.
I guarantee we've got it made.
~Gibberish~
Don't need a reason,
Or wait for the seasons to change.
That's what I claim.
Go out on this limb with me,
And realize, we've got it made.
We got it made in the shade.
Can't you see we got it made?
Oh, we've got it made.
Happy to be with my friends today.
Fill up your drink whatever it may take.
Can you believe that we've got it made?
Come on now let's shake a leg.
We've got it made in the shade.
Don't need a reason,
Or wait for the seasons to change.
That's what I claim.
Go out on this limb with me,
And realize, we've got it made.


We've Got it Made - (Eclectic Collective w/ Jonathan Beckenstein)

Cast of characters:

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–piano, drums, and composition
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four string bass, mandolin, and synth
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –  symphonic VST instruments including flute and horns, vocal effects, and bells  

This song began on the last day of the cold January of this year, when Ken sat down at his piano and recorded an improvisational jam. This is the first song Eclectic Collective has done where Ken started it with a piano, so we were all very excited to work on it. 
  Josh was the first one to add a part, adding his fretless bass guitar, and going back and forth with Ken, while he added the drums to match the groove up right. Josh also added the mandolin after the guitars were laid down, as well as the descending synth blasts you hear throughout. Before all that, though, Stephen recorded the half of the thrilling guitar you hear in there. After Stephen had his part down, Tez came along and finished the guitar work. Last, but certainly not least, Mark added the amazing symphonic elements, specifically the horns and flute you hear in there. He also added the cold January wind, represented by his breath and some tinkling bells. 
  Once it was all wrapped up, we asked Stephen to put a bow on it with his expert production, which he came through with, as always.
  As mentioned, this is an extraordinary offering from EC, starring Ken not only on drums, but on the keys, as well. It felt like we were jamming all together in the same room, and hope it comes across that way. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

If the result still carries any of my original input, we could even list it as a collab.
Either way, I’d really love to hear what you make with it.

Starting Fresh

Welcome! If you stick around a bit, you'll find some sketchy sketches of a looping guitarist, interested in minimal music, jazz, fusion etc.
 
I wish I would have thought of saying the following about me, but it was Robert Fripp, and he seems to have had himself in mind: “Music so wishes to be heard that it sometimes calls on unlikely characters to give it voice.”

Oh, and you might wonder why I call my sketches "meta-music". Well, since I am always inspired by others,  I think of my improvisations as music *about other music*, thus meta-music.
