A vibrant and intense track with a gripping rhythm and powerful energy.

Very nice. Relentless. Not enough of that around.

Energy and rhythm draws one in - like the streaming lyrics - nice cadence there

I understand this is a live recording. Great!

I love the piano riffs—really memorable! Great grooving piano rock.

Gotta Get Up!

(Verse 1)
Alarm screaming—-city dreaming—a new chapter unfolds
Sun peeking—-in my window—the concrete jungle glows
Eyes heavy—mind hazy—- the grind doesn’t sleeps
Coffee steaming—thoughts scheming—gotta conquer these streets
Shower spray—wash the haze—feel the water sting
Hustle fuel—pay my dues—ain't got time to sing

(Chorus)
Gotta get up, gotta get out, chase the paper, chase the clout
Stacking—dreams, lemme break it down—-every second counts
Gotta push, gotta move————ain't got ——-no time to lose
Sun's up--city's up--gotta get up—— got—- to much shit —to do

(Verse 2)
Concrete canvas—-spray paint anthems——gotta keep it real
Flow so cold—-hearts unfold——words that cut like steel
Subway rush——city bus—-rhymes ignite and spark
My paint brush——tells a story——graffiti in the dark
Meetings—deadlines——paper piles——climbing up-the ladder
through the fog——dog eat dog——it’s loyalty that matters
Family call——hear 'em all———-voices in my head
Keep on rapping——-keep on tapping——keep that fire fed

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Empire—dreams—-concrete schemes—-building from the ground
Every beat———-every street———there’s legends to be found
Rise above——-peace and love——-spirit’s —taking flight
Break the mold——-that’s the goal——to —-let the soul ignite

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)

(Outro)
gotta get up——gotta get up—-ain't no stopping—-this here flow
Like a symphony—-in harmony———-the—-story grow
Every rhyme—every dime———-echoes through this jungle 
Gotta get up, gotta get up———to—-do the daily hustle

Gotta Get Up

I met a woman named Christel, everytime I see her, this song Crystal by New Order comes to my head. 
So I made my own version of it.

Crystal (New Order)

Video for this song: https://youtu.be/_pqTpZuy8vM?feature=shared

Time fades away they say
But I can't afford to fade away
I can never be the same again
Not enough songs to play
So the silence stays the page is blank 
Another day for us to thank for none
I'm back after racing around the world
With a clock and a post when you're trying the most
Calling on ghosts just to help you get through the ordeal
Isn't it great to be alive they say 
the easy way means someone's doing all the work himself, just like me
Too much time away from you 
you know it's gonna get me Down
No more trouble with the blues
Since I found my way with you I know you're never gonna let me down
Always thought we'd make it through everything is ours to lose
You know I'm never gonna let you down
Smokin bubble gum with booze doesn't satisfy the muse
You know its only gonna get you down
Now I struggle with the truth sugar coated just for you
I know it's only gonna get you down
Too much time away from you
You know its gonna get me down
Still racing around the world
Great to be alive they say
but the easy way means someone else is doing all the dirty work himself

Hello, my dear, step in through the door
Come over right here, so I can tell you once more
I would like to tell you in a letter of love
Hand it over to you, there's no one above

I might be repeating, you know how it is
But you're so endearing, that I just can't dismiss
I could tell you each day, in a letter of love
I surely would say, there's no one above

I might be repeating, you know how it is
But you're so endearing, that I just can't dismiss
I could tell you each day, in a letter of love
I surely would say, there's no one above

I'll tell you every day, in my letter of love
Cause there's only you
It's only love

Letter Of Love

This song I wrote back in 2022 and I wrote it while depressed about Covid but it seems to fit right in with the present! It's basically about the anxiety one feels when life suffocates you in any way. It seems everything has gone haywire lately! Grocery prices, the rent is too damn high, our government has gone berserk, A.I. taking over our music and our minds, on and on and on and on! The song was longer but I edited down for the video which just droped on YouTube! It's a very depressing song but I think I played some cool guitar on it and sang it ok! The tail end of the song is another song I wrote around the same time called "Sick Inside", I added it to the track to play over the credits in the video, and by the way, I am feeling quite sick inside! Stay cool everybody! Maybe it will pass?🙏😎✌🏼

“SUFFOCATE”

I SUFFOCATE,
I’M OVERCOME,
I LOSE ALL SENSE OF BEING,  
AND BECOME UNDONE,                

I GET DEPRESSED,
BECOME UNHINGED, 
MY DREAMS ARE ALL OF SEARCHING, 
THE OUTER FRINGE,
I SUFFOCATE, 

I COMPENSATE,
I DECOMPRESS, 
I SINK TO THE BOTTOM,
OF MY CONSCIOUSNESS, 
  
I EMPATHIZE,
I TRY TO TUNE,       
BUT SOMETIMES I LOSE FOCUS,
AS IF I'M ON THE MOON,    
I SUFFOCATE, 
I SUFFOCATE.

"SUFFOCATE" (Video - https://youtu.be/OiYdwdCDixg)

Cast of characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, Roland Phantom 6 synth, vocals, lyrics, arrangement, composition

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ--  Yamaha Genos 2 and Yamaha MoXF8 
synth, organ, electric piano, and vocal harmonies

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet    
 
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaser through a VST synth FX device

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, Fender Acoustasonic acoustic guitar, Gibson Earl Scruggs Mastertone banjo, mix, production, and mastering

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

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 

  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.

  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.

  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 

  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

ENG / ITA Lyrics

Go that way
and then further that way
maybe you'll see each other again
if the time comes
for the usual formalities

leave him in these dark avenues
don't let him have an extra drop
dirty water stagnates
in pure brains

Just go over there
in that direction
get as far away as you can
from his words
and while you run and distract yourself a little
you meet the right man down the street
in a moment his heart catches fire
and you start to feel nostalgic


vai pure di là
e dopo oltre di là
vi rivedrete forse
se verrà il momento
per le solite formalità

lascialo pure in questi viali scuri
non concedergli una goccia in più
ristagna l'acqua sporca
nei cervelli puri

vai pure di là
in quella direzione
allontanati più che puoi
dalle sue parole
e mentre corri e ti distrai un poco
incontri l'uomo giusto proprio nella via
in un momento il suo cuore prende fuoco
e tu cominci ad avere nostalgia

Lost

Music: Composed, written, mixed, mastered, and performed by: Acoustc

Lyrics: Written, performed, mixed and mastered by The Mysterious Decibel

The brown sounds its own bassline
Breeding Frankenstein
But i've seemed to have crossed the line
Cuz i got a text from the boss
While i'm dropping brown sauce
DROPPIN' BROWN SAUCE

What you doing?
Where you at?
You're on company time
I'm just dropping some sauce is that even a crime!?
Don't you know you gotta slave, don't you know to behave to make your precious dime!

Knock knock 
Who's there?
Open up it's me
You've been in there since half past 3
I'm dropping some sauce do you wanna see?
You're about to be fired on the highest degree!

Couldn't be any hotter than the seat beneath me
Blast beats in the bowl with some Hennessey
Couldn't be any hotter than the rage inside me
That i feel towards you and this company!

Do I really need this? 
I don't need this anymore
I reach down underneath my balls and taint
My hand will become the brush that paints
I rise from the shitter with a vengeful smile
I'll leave my mark, it'll be on file
The knocking won't stop
I think it's time to quit in style

How you gonna fire with a face full of shit!?
How you gonna fire me if I already quit!?
How you gonna fire me with a face full of shit!?
How you gonna fire me if I already quit!?
I'm just gonna fire you with the heat of this hit!
No two week notice just a hand full of shit!
Solidify you died with the scent of a smack
Made your toes lift up and your spine bent back!

Shitty hands, vengeance, Handcuffs and prison cells
I guess that was my final boss but now i shit wherever with no farewells

No farewells
No farewells!

On Company Time

I was angry, because I couldn't play this beautiful piece, because I'm lefthanded but hold the guitar as righthanded. So I'm happy to present this. With many thanks to Don for the link to the midi.

Note: If your religious and offended by people trying to find clarity in the world of belief. Maybe skip this track...

I talk openly about my beliefs that religion is Earth poison just like money so I don't think I should tip toe around that here either. I'm always respectful when someone else talks about their beliefs and I choose who to mention my firm beliefs to (if anything is currently firmed up at that time)... But it's time I painted them to my music properly too So 🫡🔆

I am a spiritual person and I think it's a possibility there may be an afterlife. But religion didn't make me realise that or show me a way to genuinely feeling that. I found that myself and I would have found it a lot younger if it wasn't for the lies and indoctrination that was attempted on me as a child by church and religion.

I think it's time we called out churches for what they are for most of us and what they should be if they want to survive. They should be houses for adults to go and confirm what they believe but in my pea head opinion you need to have a good chunk of the universe learned before you start trying to figure out your spirit and soul because the way it is now... They don't let you figure out the universe properly! How can we Co exist with that ! I'm not anymore and my kids aren't anyways. We will continue to be respectful towards everybody's beliefs. But these are mine. I don't have any and the truths I'm trying to figure out will change everyday because they involve only real truth as I see it.

So if your offended... Well no one has ever apologised to me for the lies and limitations religion put on my life so... I'm not sorry because I don't need to apologise to a realm that limited my thought and still tries to limit the thought of children today 


Here's what I think of Jesus. I think he has the same spiritual power as my Grandparents do as individuals too. They give me serious power. I don't understand that fully and I probably never will in my lifetime but I do embrace it. However I accept the large possibility that it is a self inflicted hypnotic/placebo effect born of neuroplasticity in the brain. Simply, I may just convince myself. Spirituality for me is deeply personal. I only discovered it's power by discovering it myself my way. The spirits represent part of me that has existed and still exists in memory/consciousness and a merged intent. I believe spirituality might actually evolve as physical beings do. Like Jesus had his niche 2000 years ago and it sounds like he found out some things. But look, he didn't even write them down himself. Others did that and then a few version redactions later we have one book... Not for me thanks. He was a man and that was it so I won't put him on a pedestal. I will however appreciate his good spirit like the good spirits my Grandparents are and my friend Tina and all the other spiritual energy those powerful individuals project in the universe


In the grander scheme of ideas and collective projections... There is still way too much war because of belief to be ok with just letting it be... It challenges the entire existences of too many people for it ever to be a collective positive for life. When we treat it scientifically and we all meet up for that spiritual gathering... then I'm there everyday, not just Sundays


I believe we had the second coming already s lot of times. Ian Brown was was one time. Along with the rest of that band. The random dude across the street from me that I don't know. They are a new version too.

Buddhism is the closest I think I would associate myself with. Empowering the individual. That doesn't have to be selfish but it does start from a foundation that you only have your eyes and as far as we know telepathy isn't possible. So as we grow to learn our consciousness more in science, my "guess" is we will find beings connected to one energy without the need for a god because we are god and we create the world we experience

The love of my life. The best 10 years 14 days we shared together.( Caroline Jean Winchester ) she was 50 years old. I think about her every day . She was the strongest person I ever knew. I miss her laugh the most. It came so easy for her. A tribute to her  written by myself in 2017.
LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,
