"Holding Her Bones" by Lola Demo is a fierce, no-nonsense track about standing up for someone and calling out a fake. Sharp lyrics and a strong attitude. Holding Her Bones blends humor and determination, mixing biting insights with an underlying message of strength and protection. It's bold, sarcastic, and cool.

Holding Her Bones

HOLDING HER BONES by Lola Demo

So Beautiful

"KNOW YOUR FEAR"

The eye that sees everything beyond
Asks me hey dude why there is no bond
I answer with spirit its not how you die
But looking at creation its how you first cry

The truth is i see that through my eternal eye
But isn't it so sad that people do not fly
It makes me really wonder what happened to this world
That likes to live a being that is of soulless soul.

If sight is your spirit, thought is your feeling
End this fucking shit set a new beginning
Make time work for you to avoid those rotten eyes
By spirit body soul to kill what never dies.

Now that you are breathing the air of our infinity
Do not disrupt the messages to end this fake sincerity
Will start to live this trip again all beings together,
And maybe in our hearts we kill our sacred feather.

The one that makes you fly deep down the gap of soul
To bring out to the surface eruption to the whole
To set not a beginning or just another end
But starting to remember whats left to live ahead.

LYRICS BY Ragias Christos
Enjoy the fear!!

KNOW YOUR FEAR

Cast of characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST steel pan drums, backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), vocals, lyrics, composition, production, mix     
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass

This song began with Mark, who wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song, which he did, singing & playing all of the instrument parts on his own at first. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song - this one (the group remix), and the original Soul version (Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions).

Ken was first up with his vibrant interpretation of Mark's original drum track. Josh was next up, replacing Mark's bass line with a more upbeat bopping take. Once the rhythm section was in place, Stephen found the perfect guitar motif which served as both rhythm guitar, and the soulful lead that suited both versions of the song.

With a solid foundation on which to play, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, rhythmic and playful electric piano to the mix. Tez added his guitar magic, ripping solo parts in the instrumental sections, and at the end. It was at this point that the decision was made to go with two versions, so Ken added some rhythmic percussion to the mix, and Mark also tested out his newly acquired VST steel drums to emphasize the slight Caribbean vibe that was emerging. With Mark completing mixing duties on both versions, it was now time for Stephen to master it in his always expert way to finish it off.

This was a real team effort,  demonstrating The Eclectic Collective's many different methods of creating music. It was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by mistermark:

Walking through this concrete jungle
I’m just trying to stay out of the way 
just me and ol’ Rex, my furry companion 
we been fielding funky looks all day
then somebody saw me kicking rocks with my bare toes
he said buddy have you lost your way?
then I sat right down and I started to cry
and this is what I had to say…

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say 

Sittin’ in my man cave watching the clock crawl
there's nothing good on my tv 
my big grubby hands can’t flip thru the channels
i cant even hold a cup of tea
I was chatting on the phone making plans with a lady
a little bit of company
but my date split QUICK when I opened the door
man I wonder what’s wrong with me

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break now
the ladies say I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

The big city’s fine but something’s on my mind
I feel a little incomplete
I miss my old club, for rustling up some grub
and the touch of grass below my feet
I’ve been around longer than all your creation, 
like the rocks and trees and streams
I wanna get back home, where forever I’ll roam
even if it’s only in my dreams

I’m a caveman
I can’t catch a break 
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

I’m a caveman, 
must be come kinda mistake
everybody says I’m so passé 
well I’m a - a caveman
It’s too much to take
but I’m gunna get back some day

Lyrics

I'm batman
I 'aint no rat man
I'm still not fat and I tan
Call the night black clan
Come over here Gotham

No Suit...
No Mobil
'Used to have that Robin feel...
No Bike...
No Plane...
Used to save...
Now better days

My training cave is a house
The routine!
Being a parent
To the kids... I'm Batman!
Well... Until I turn Penguin

No Suit...
No Mobil
'Used to have that Robin feel...
No Bike...
No Plane...
Used to save...
Now better days

Alfred is bored
This bat don't hire... I'm poor!
'Peugout for missions
Sorry Earth... More emmisions
Where's the joker?
In school... She's 4
Bill Hicks is back but Alma (the best jokes ever), she's more...
Then in an hour, it's mini me Theodore (The fastest at everything)
Then everything too, Matilda (An amazing artist & athlete)
The World is their door

I'm Batman

today is a good day to dance...
Para todos mis amigos españoles, les deseo un feliz lunes de Pascua...
aux amis français une bonne journée et du bonheur...
an alle deutschen Freunde eine schöne Reise nach Italien, wir haben Sonne und Meer für euch...
.to all friends and listeners lots of positivity all for you...😃⚘💫⚘
