"Let’s Wake Up" is a songwriter-style track inspired by the 70s light rock-pop sound. A conscious ballad about opening our eyes to the world, awakening to reality and embracing awareness. Gentle guitars, melodic arrangements and heartfelt vocals create an uplifting atmosphere.

Written, composed, performed and produced by an french independent artist.

let's wake up

Beneath the Shell (Instrumental) (2025) - If life were a bug...
Inspired by Kafka's surreal novels, this song is questioning our very existence. What if life has no purpose at all and everything boils down into a cacophony of accidents? Some bugs undergo metamorphosis, others will stay the same. Heavy metalcore riffs meet synthesizers and weltschmerz.
This is the instrumental version.

Cast of Characters:

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Gibson Earl Scruggs banjo, production, mix, and mastering

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl siezed on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about. 

  Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. He also added the subtle human voice choral synth you hear throughout. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section. 

  Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.

  We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carls songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I walked on sacred stones
to fulfil your dream
I never tried to run
I never dared to flee
I kept this feeling deep
so deep inside I couldn't sleep
And then It woke me up and
Something took a hold of me

(Pre Chorus)
It's like I finally see you
and finally see myself

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange..

(Pre Chorus)
The things I thought forbidden
Was not a sin at all
Because we're only human
And it's to want something more..
Is this my skin, is this my all?

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange..

(Verse 2)
A Vessel just on loan
A mask I've always worn
But underneath it All,
I feel the seeds I've sown
Is it too late to change
It’s time to let it fall

(Pre Chorus)
It's like I finally see you
And finally see myself

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange..

(Pre Chorus)
My skin's a silent witness
To stories never told
Lost and found within it
A soul that’s slowly growing old
On earth for just a moment
'til I'm truly home...

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange…

It's So Strange

It's so Strange - Nat Daniels & Noobly

Americana

Guitar and voice demo:

Here we are, gone too far
Under a star, ill-fated star
And here we lie in the bed we made
And everyone must play along
With the sleep charade

Come again, oh pretty muse
Sing your song, the deepest song
We've been shipwrecked for too long
We couldn't resist the siren song

Yes here are, gone way too far
Under a star, ill-fated star
Why do we lie in the bed we made?
Must everyone play along
With the sleep charade?

The Sleep Charade

Text:
Verse 1
They said don’t touch the fire,
They said the truth will burn.
But I was born with questions
that never cease to turn.
A whisper in the shadows,
a spark inside the brain —
you can’t unteach the hunger
once it knows your name.

Pre-Chorus
You built your golden walls so high,
but knowledge always learns to fly.

Chorus
Forbidden fruit — I tasted light,
and I won’t crawl back into night.
You hold the power, hold the crown,
but every lie will tumble down.
We bit the apple, now we see —
your paradise was never free.

(solo)

Verse 2
You preach of sin and order,
we see the fear behind your eyes.
You call it peace, we call it silence,
you call it faith — we call it lies.
The garden’s gone, the world’s awake,
we won’t unlearn, we won’t obey.

Bridge
Oh, knowledge burns — but it’s divine,
a fire older than your line.
Let thunder speak, let reason sing,
we are the fall — and the awakening.

(solo)

Final Chorus
Forbidden fruit — I tasted light,
and I won’t crawl back into night.
You wrote the rules, we broke them clean,
the rebels of a broken dream.
Now truth is wild, now truth is free —
and that’s the world you’ll fear to see.

Forbidden Fruit

After all this Time

Upon a throne of star-entangled thread,
Where time’s frail loom in silent ruin lies,
She sits—the dread Oracle, half-god, half-bride—
Her eyes the void where dead galaxies hide.

No mortal hand may touch her silver hair,
Nor tongue confess the secret of her name;
Yet when the Veil grows thin and Realms decay,
She sings—and Chaos trembles at her flame.

Her voice, a hymn of spider-silk and sighs,
Weaves dreams into the marrow of the night;
Men hear, and follow through the veiled skies,
Beguiled by beauty, blind to coming blight.

She dances where the fractured dimensions bleed,
A huntress draped in sorrow and in grace;
Her prey—those proud who dare to twist the creed
Of cosmic law—she toys with, face to face.

She spins their reason into gossamer,
Whispers their sanity to tattered lace;
Laughs as their souls in gilded torment err,
Then draws the final thread—without a trace.

Beware the song that drifts through midnight air,
So sweet it seems the stars might weep to hear;
For though she guards the Balance with her care,
Her mercy wears a mask—and feeds on fear.

O Weaver! Sing not near our fragile shore—
Thy lullaby is death in silken guise.
We mortal moths would live a day, not more,
Than meet thy gaze—and perish in thy eyes.

Weaver's lament

¡¡ Warning: very old track with very LO-FI sound !!

Five verses over improvised chords, which are divided into 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 parts; passion, going back, and at the end... what happened here?

Cinco versos sobre acordes improvisados, que partí en 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 y 6 tiempos; pasión, vuelta atrás y, al final... ¿qué ha pasado aquí?

Lyrics/Letra:

Perdido... 
Perdido...
Perdido... 
Perdido...

Perdido en la oscuridad de tu nombre.
Perdido en la sombra de tu regazo.
Perdido... 
Perdido...

Perdido en el miedo de tu deseo.
Perdido en la espesa espuma estéril
que me lleva y no te alcanza... ay, perdido estoy.

Perdido (Miedo de tu deseo)
