Fresh original funky nuttiness... Love it! Merci for the new tune!

Close your eyes. Inhale for 4. Hold for a moment. Exhale for 6, gently. Stay. Let the notes move through you like a wave. When the last vibration fades, how is your breath?

Cast of Characters:

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – (?) electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision Bass
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth and organ
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals and lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T model electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering

This song began at the end of last summer, August of '24, when Tez sat down and composed it on his guitar. He shared it with us right away, and while everyone jumped on it immediately, it sat on the shelf for so long because we all felt we needed a singer for it. Fast forward a year, and lo and behold, we picked up Carl, who is down for whatever vocals a song needs. 
 
 We began construction on this by creating the rhythm section. Ken first adding his explosive drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section with his four string, fretted bass, which he used a plectrum to play.  JJ entered the fray next, adding his otherworldly synth and thickening organ. 
 
 Then is sat. And sat. And sat some more, until Carl found us, or we found him, and he was finally able to add the missing puzzle piece. But before we put it to bed, Stephen added some thrilling solo work with his axe, too. 
 
 Now that it was a completed song, we asked Stephen to mix it, even though it's really Tez's song, and that honor would usually go to him. However Tez was experiencing some technical difficulty, so the honor went to Stephen, who did his always professional production work on it. 
  
This is a straight rocker from Eclectic Collective, being in all of our wheelhouses. This one was all made in house, too, so it's a great representation of our rocking skills as a band. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Iron Dreaming (Eclectic Collective)

Lilac in the Desert

[Verse 1]
This age has melted me down
but left my breath behind—
youth did not kill me
yet its death stayed inside

Lilac I drifted far
shadow on a page of sky—
if love had its time
why did it wait to arrive

[Pre-Chorus]
I carried sparks in the soil
cried to the heavens above—
Every wound in my palm
was a prayer was a love

[Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
you led me where I came

[Verse 2]
I would not speak too soon
my tongue rusted with grief—
the chance of mistakes
the inheritance of belief
Adam's fate was in me
trembling body set alight
thousands of sparks
plunged deep into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
I drank the cloud's essence
without breaking its skin—
Sweat and questions poured
where has it carried man in

[Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
you led me where I came

[Bridge]
There is a fountain soiled and scarred
my reflection in my hand
I said 'it doesn't matter'
yet I was searching for a stand

The city's fire still burning
its wound still speaks in me
I walked on face bent forward
toward a summer I can't see

[Final Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
I walk and still I came

[Outro]
Lilac oh lilac
I walk on

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m sweatin’ bullets in December
There’s blood in my sight
All them dreams I don’t remember
Flew off in the night

Got a choir of delusions (ahhhh)
Hammerin’ in my skull
And this wheel of confusion
Keeps on turnin’ full

[Chorus]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It used to feel like home
My vice, my vice
Now it cuts me to the bone

[Verse 2]
My body’s all broken
My blood feels like sand
And the devil’s still pokin’
With his bat in my hand

My eyes stay wide open
Sleep don’t come to me
I swam an ocean of lies
And drowned in the debris

[Chorus]
Yeah, my vice, my vice
It used to calm the storm
My vice, my vice
Now it’s colder than before

[Bridge]
One bright day, I saw forever
Fall to pieces in the rain
Seven years of stormy weather
Burnin’ holes inside my brain

[Instrumental]
(Yo!)

[Verse 3]
I’m prayin’ for redemption
God, pull me through
Let me be the exception
I don’t know what else to do

[Outro]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It’s not a friend no more
My vice, my vice
Left me dying on the floor

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Walkin’ through the Case Mountain woodlands
Cravin’ a companion to ease my pain
I pulled favors to find you, man
Now I’m chasin’ you down again

[Verse 2]
Thank you for keeping me warm, and
Thank you for this nutmeg night
There may be hell in the morning
But tonight I’m feeling alright, yeah

[Chorus]
So bring it on, bring it on, Adele
Bring it on, baby, I’m begging you
Bring it on, bring it on, my belle
Time to shake off these winter blues

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, I need you to bring it on, bring it on, Adele
I need you to bring it on, bring it on, Adele
I need you to bring it on, bring it on, Adele

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
Yeah, bring it on, bring it on, Adele
Bring it, bring it on, I’m begging you

Time to shake off these winter blues

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m transfixed by the colors
Bleeding in the sky above us
Crimson to tangerine
Sapphire between
I can’t fly
I’m trapped by your side

[Verse 2]
Stoned in the Japanese garden
She took you across the pond to the lions
Said hello darling, wanna take a trip?
Wanna take a hit…hit…hit?

[Verse 3]
She collects candy, Wonder Woman dolls
Just like we were kids, toys and all
She’s paranoid, short on joy
Gives herself away to girls and boys

[Bridge]
I’m intoxicated, I’m suffocated
I wanna go out, I need escape and

[Chorus]
My old friend
I’ve seen you topless, and I’m exhausted
I see your pain
But I just wanna smoke and watch Wednesday

[Outro]
And so the time goes by…I just sit here…comply
And so the time goes by…I just sit here…comply
Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh
Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder if I missed a sign
If silence spoke too loud between your heart and mine
I see the world much clearer now with time
Ooh, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish you’d found a way
I wish you’d made it through
The sky still holds a space
That should belong to you

[Chorus]
You were made for bigger things, Te Ming
But the world began to close
And the weight of everything, Te Ming
Is a story no one knows

[Verse 2]
I still remember how the moment felt
A sudden shift, the hand fate had dealt
A mix of sorrow, gratitude, and guilt
Ooh, ooh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I wish you’d known real love
I wish you’d felt at peace
The battles deep inside
Should never end like this

[Outro]
You were made for bigger things, Te Ming
But the world began to close
And the weight of everything, Te Ming
Is a story no one knows

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The long days undo me
Holidays leave me bare
The silence is fatal
The shadows are there

[Verse 2]
The fantasies flicker
They left me long ago
Desire was a masquerade
Shame the only show

[Chorus]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This borrowed life does not forgive you
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

[Verse 3]
I counted the bodies
The beds, and the names
I traded my tenderness
For a ritual of games
It was not joy, not despair
Just the dullness of years
Asking, how am I still here?

[Verse 4]
Every act leaves its scar
Karma knocks at the door
I meant no cruelty
But cruelty was born
I lie when I rise
I lie when I fall
My house is in ruins
There’s no house at all

[Chorus]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This borrowed life does not forgive you
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

[Outro]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This double life was never yours to carry
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

[Intro]
Ahh whoa oh
Whoa do do do do do doo
Ahhh do do do do do do do do
Dahh do do do dah bah do do do do
Bah do do bah do do do

[VERSE 1]
Run from me
I’ll corrupt you

You’re confused
Run for the hills
You don’t have much time

Broken into pieces

And I’ll burn you

Consume everything that you love
And then I’ll break you

That you like me
And I know
That you want me
No, you cannot fix me
I am broken beyond repair
Broken into pieces

Hi. New album VICE out now! Thanks for listening. I’m a writer and producer who uses AI tools to turn my words into music. This became my “healthy hobby” after a long battle with addiction. I’m now gratefully sober. I’m open to collaborating with other artists. - Nova J
