“I live with OCD and I am on the ADHD spectrum, which is the inspiration behind this song. A deep dive into my favourite pop/punk albums from my youth inspired me to revisit this and make it into the song I always knew it could be. This is about anxiety and exposure treatment; how it is a challenge and that in time it will get better and will be OK. I hope you enjoy this anthem” 

feeling hope again. 

It’s burning up the tinder box
Weigh on my brain like broken rocks 
I want you to leave by the front door
Instead I’m letting you put your feet under the table
I’m having drinks with a monster 
And it’s never closing time 
The whispers in my brain transmit like the loudest din and the rumours are always lies 

I’m living moment to moment
It’s hard
It’s hard 
It’s hard
It’s hard
Letting you in
Not figuring you out
Brain volumes on 10 
I’m feeling hope again 

This trapeze I’m jumping off
Down to my feet and staying put
Keeping you here on my terms
Brains on fire my mind burns
Over there I put you out 
Down by the water into a cloud
Of smoke you go to live another day 
Now hold you dear, friend and enemy

feeling hope again.

I decided to take another stab at creating a hopefully better sounding version of this song,  as it seems the message is relevant in these troubled times.  

I hope that heaven is a place where everyone can share the same space and  liberals and conservatives can exist in perfect harmony. Cause if you live a good life and you seal the deal and you end up in heaven how are you going to feel, if  when you get there there’s people who want to argue with you about politics
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree
***
Will you let it go or will you keep on fighting even after your first Saint Peter sighting, or will you check the TV to see if there’s CNN or Fox News in Heaven. They had to pry your gun from your cold dead hand but now that you’re a soul in a spiritual land, will you still demand your second amendment rights to protect yourself in heaven.
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree
*****
I hope that in in heaven you can eat real steak with a bunch of vegans eating meat that’s fake, as you pose for a photo with Jesus trying to re-enact that painting of the last supper.
If you bump into that undocumented guy who you sent back to his country will you look him in the eye. Will you tell he’s not welcome in the United States part of heaven?
***
All these people with extreme positions shouting to their hearts content
Like demented performance artists in a circus tent
They can try to push our buttons be we don’t have to let them
They can invite us to their party but we don’t have to show up.
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree

Heaven 2025

Lyrics:
I am the man they call Sue Monday
I used to ride in Tennessee
They finally caught me on a Sunday
Now they gonna crucify me

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

Caught me some red legs down in Georgia
Where they been burnin’ down the mills
They had our sisters in their saddles
And I got me four and twenty kills

Yeah they were dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

She must be wonderin’ where I am now
She must be lookin’ for me
But I’m locked up in Louisville, Kentucky
And they are never gonna set me free free free

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

Dancin' on Nothin'

This is a track from my album TALES OF A NOMAD, a collection of impressions from decades of living a nomadic life for professional reasons.

Scream Of The Northern Plains

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, composition
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — drums and percussion
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- clavinet, VST saxophone solo, VST horns, effects, production editing
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster HHS electric guitrar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song began back at the beginning of the summer, when Josh was messing around on his electric piano and found a structure to which to add his bass. As soon as he opened the project to the rest of Eclectic Collective, JJ jumped right in, adding his thrilling organ and ethereal background synth. Thus, Josh dropped his original e. piano part in favor of JJ's new parts. Ken was next up, adding the drums in reverse order from how he and Josh usually do it. Ken is very skilled at being able to add drums to a pre-existing bass line, which he displays in here. He also added the clever auxilary percussion you hear throughout. Mark was next to the trough, adding his funky clavinet, as well as his sax solo you hear lighting it up in there. He also added some well composed horns toward the end, not to be confused with JJ's synth. 
  Then it was time for the guitarists to do their thing. Stephen added the strong, melodic solos in the first two breaks with his guitar and wah pedal. After Tez added his thrilling solos at the end, Stephen went back in and added the funky rhythm guitar part. Tez also added the funky guitar riffs throughout the verses.
  All that was left was to get Carl in on the action, as he is the newest core member of Eclectic Collective. He wrote a poem and sung it in his signature, wild style for us.
  This is Eclectic Collective at its almost full strength, pulling six musicians from two different continents and four different countries together to create a song. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
   On a side note, this will be Eclectic Collective's last song for two weeks. As most of you know, we release a song every Thursday at midnight. Due to vacation and travel at the end of summer, we'll be skipping  next Friday, the 15th, but should be returning the following Friday, the 22nd. We may also put something out this coming Tuesday, the 12th, so please stay tuned. Can't thank enough those of you who tune in regularly and support us every week.

YOMATSURI (TAMAYAH!)

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Sieben Komma acht drei Hertz
Pulsiert durch meine Zellen
Die Frequenz von Kopf und Herz
Erdmagnetische Wellen

Ionosphäre tanzt mit Blitz
Zwischen Himmel und der Erde
Ein elektromagnetischer Witz
Dass ich Teil des Ganzen werde

Disconnected war mein Geist
Bis die Resonanz mich fand

Wir schwingen mit dem Planeten
Synapsen synchronisiert
Alpha-Wellen wie Gebete
Die Erde dirigiert

Tesla wusste, Schumann maß
Was die Mystiker schon ahnten
Meditation trifft Wissenschaft
Auf denselben Frequenzbahnen

Dein Nervensystem schwingt mit mir
Mein Theta-Zustand spiegelt dich
Verschränkte Quanten, ich und wir
Die Grenze löst sich auf für mich

Vom ersten Atmen an verbunden
Mit jedem Baum und jedem Stein
In Hertz gemessen, nicht in Stunden
Getrennt sein ist nur Schein

Das erste Atmen nach dem Sturm
War Einklang mit der Welt
Kein isolierter Turm
Der außerhalb sich hält

Sieben Komma acht drei
Wir sind frei

English translation:
Seven point eight three hertz
Pulsing through my cells
The frequency of my head and heart
Geomagnetic waves

The ionosphere dances with lightning
Between heaven and earth
An electromagnetic joke
That I become part of the whole

My mind was disconnected
Until resonance found me

We vibrate with the planet
Synapses synchronised
Alpha waves like prayers
The Earth conducts

Tesla knew, Schumann measured
What the mystics already sensed
Meditation meets science
On the same frequency channels

Your nervous system vibrates with me
My theta state mirrors you
Entangled quanta, me and us
The boundary dissolves for me

Connected from the first breath
With every tree and every stone
Measured in Hertz, not in hours
Being separate is only an illusion

The first breath after the storm
Was harmony with the world
No isolated tower
Standing outside

Seven point eight three
We are free

Schumann Resonanz

You Are The Future Now

(John Stone)

You are the future now
It’s time to recognise it
I’ve  put it off somehow 
But now I’ve come to realise it
Time has had its way
And no one can escape it
No matter what you try to do
The sands of time will get to you
You step aside for someone new 
When all is said and done 
You are the future now

It’s true we’ve had our ups and downs
We never will agree on
Which one of us is standing
On the side of history
But who knows what the future holds
Events will ebb and flow 
The people change their point of view
And when and why we’ll never know

Perhaps there’ll be a time 
When all will be accepted
And those who’ve seen it all before
Are valued and perhaps respected
Reason leads us to
Only what we choose to view
Be open to the things you see
And you may see things differently 
To be the best that you can be
But now your time has come
You are the future now

The cycle rolls around
You briefly take the stage
You will have to understand 
The complications of our age
And those who lived another time
And those who’s views do not align 
Because they walked a different line 
As now it’s up to you

You’ll watch your children grow
And try to teach them what you know
And hope they’ll understand 
The world just how you’ve come to see it
From your point of view
But one day they will rise
And as they look you in the eye
Don’t look away, don’t criticise
The time has come to recognise
That you must tell them too
You are the future now

I love to include my Wife and Daughter in my Music to capture a beautiful moment; a personal time capsule. Music is an expressive outlet for me and I write from the heart.

Close to my heart is raising awareness of HYPER MOBILITY EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME. 

“Sometimes when you hear hoofbeats, it really is a zebra.”

No two zebras have identical stripes and no two people with Hyper Mobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome are identical. They have different symptoms, different types, and different experiences.
