A splendidly wordy musical collage, and a great message.

Wonderfully atmospheric, fun rhythms with dark lyrics and your vocals and use of found sounds are haunting. Bravo Dick

Great song, Dick. Really like the lyrics, that propulsive beat and fascinating mix of soundbites. Very creative : )

Reminds me of Remain In the Light or My Life In the Bush Of Ghosts, super cool!

Very innovative and original. You are at your experimental best here.

Fantastic ambiance and vocals. Great arrangements and lyrics 🌼

Commander Fullyard's Electric Harem

It’s a beautiful mess- this dreaming up life
We’re falling like stars- into each other’s sky’s
Everybody’s gotta have- a reason to shine
Who knows maybe yours- is just like mine

We all try to find reasons why
For the seasons and our fates
And how they intertwine with lines we write in story’s we create 
And I couldn’t find a better friend to roll on down the line….
A great life’s a long goodbye

Life aint no test, pass or fail
So many times we fly off the rail
And sometimes it aint easy, but we aint wasting our lives
Because if we can stick together, it’ll be alright -Alright Yeah
Let loving in!

We all try find the reasons why
For the seasons and our fates
And how they intertwine with lines we write in the story’s we create 
And I couldn’t find a better friend to roll on down the line….
A great life’s a long goodbye

It’s a beautiful mess
It’s a crazy damn life
We’re all stars
In someone else’s sky

We all try find reasons why
For the seasons and our fates
And how they intertwine with lines we write in the story’s we create 
And I couldn’t find a better friend to roll on down the line, Yeah-yeah, we’re gonna rock it-rock it, rock and roll it

We’ll never say goodbye

A great life’s a long goodbye
A great life’s a long goodbye
A great life’s a long goodbye
A great life’s a long
A great life’s a long
Goodbye

A Great Life's A Long Goodbye

Well your request
is invalid
Computer can always say no.
The search is over
As you linger in the afterglow.

World War III has already begun
While you were dancing & had your fun
I had to jump ship
and go with the flow
counted my blessings
Flew straight as a crow

Unusual patterns, 
Coding gone wrong
Your ethics' for sale: 
MFA took too long

Operator is void
your change is rejected
The download on hold &
Your name it is auctioned, 
bartered and sold...

I feel so splinted

What a fantastic decade!

Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise

Your appointment
Has expired,
Computer is still saying no!

A many-splendored thing
of which we need to sing!
A many-splendored thing
of which we need to sing!

I throw myself
Slowly I awake

LYRICS:
Encore un jour qui se lève, une nouvelle journée 
Le soleil se réveille sur un autre day 
D’une nuit brève et sans rêve 

Encore un soir où lorsque la lune sera montée  
De tous les bords de ma vie rien n’aura bougé 
Je le sais, just another day 

Maybe one day I will go away pour enfin me trouver
Maybe someday I will find the faith pour ne plus me cacher 

Je regarde ma guitare posée là, figée 
Puis cette page restée blanche de mots évaporés 
Anyway, is there something left to say?

Comment pourrai-je ne pas laisser tout s effacer?
Comment pourrai-je à nouveau sentir mon cœur vibrer?

Across the miles through time and space 
I will chase the Melodies i can retrace 

Today today today, just another day, just another day.

Just Another Day DWP remix

“Walk Softly and Go Far”  by Luke

If I can stop one heart
from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one in pain

Or help one fainting Robin 
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain.

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song started in probably the most effective way our group writes them. Ken had a spectacular drum beat that was unused in a previous project, so JJ composed and recorded with his magical keys a chord structure and arrangement. Once we had a beat and a chord structure, Josh came along and added his foundational bass. 

  Now that the rhythm section was complete and the chord structure was in place, Stephen added his unique melody line that you hear at the beginning and every other verse on his magic banjo. He also plays all the initial guitar until about the 1:40 mark, when Tez takes over. In addition, Stephen also laid down some really trippy sitar in the break section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos, which you hear from about 1:40 on, eventually building up to a crescendo towards the end. 

  Once we had all the music down, we realized that we had a big gap in the bridge without much going on in it. So, Mark came through and recorded a cool poem he had written on his refigerator with word magnets more than a decade ago, captured with a picture, and added to for the this song. The poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe. The girl's voice you hear echoing him is his daughter, for whom he originally composed it, in her first appearance with the EC. 

  The song was now finished, except for Mark using his masterful production skills to trim and move a few things. After he made those adjustments on, he threw a mix on it. While we usually defer to Tez or Stephen for the mix, Mark did such a great job, we decided to keep his mix. Stephen did, however master and EQ it to make it a finished product. 

  This is a song written truly as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to is as much as we enjoyed creating it.  


Original lyrics by Mistermark:  


The moon flickers on

and rises and dances

across a celestial stage

as dreamers paint the pixels of their mind 

like an infinite canvas 


Sleep away tiny egg

and leave a delicate thread 

of memory behind 

but never log out 

you are in the elaborate web

always
