It's very cool the way you put all the disparate elements together... and they come together to form a gorgeous coherent whole. I think it's really brilliant.

yummy makes me hungry for some of those beautiful strawberries! Good job

So glad I can still listen yo your music here.

Lovely sounds Dick, I love the small percussion.  Is that a Kalimba.

A little quickie. I had fun testing Spitfire Originals!: Epic Strings, Epic Brass + Woodwinds and Cinematic Percussions.

Ok...  I'm just having a pint after work, y'know, it's been a long day - it's me right.
Well, I see this very attractive woman: she doesn't look happy, mind, she looks sad.

Me? Well, I'm here on vacation. I'm just a country girl in the city, where there's lots of twits about. Well... not as many as you'd think actually. Ah, still, I was very lonely... and then I saw him, in a pub...
and so it began...

Well, everyone was still and now they dance around

It’s like the music is grooving through the fabric of the town
You look to me and the fire glows

The landlord laughs and everybody knows
A few words, a hello, a 'how-do-you-do'

You stupid bloody peasant and the words that you use
You know it’s not the vodka that’s burning in my veins
It’s the power of love igniting into flames

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

There’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A man to lean on and adore

A look will do when words won’t say

I try to talk and for once my words
Come out my mouth and are clearly heard

I listen I laugh - you’re a goofy prick
I toss my hair as I feel us click

It’s like my life so far has been biding time
Til I meet you and my world begins to rhyme

I see all the colours that were hidden in haste
When I learned the pain of love laid waste

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

So, there’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A love to protect and adore

A look will do when words can’t say

Do... you think ye mightn't fancy another?

Well, I suppose... but only if you're paying

Méditations Poétiques (poetic meditations) By Zitou Itou & Wildsilences

This is an old Rock song I wrote back in the '80's, just some good old hard Rock & Roll song for a hair band of that time. The lyrics are kinda lame and it wasn't recorded really that well, I had cheap recording equipment at the time, maybe a TASCAM cassette multi-track recorder. Nothing much to say about it, I sang it so please forgive, the Chorus repeats too many times I think. It should have had more leads. Charlie is playing a mean Harmonica on it but it's buried in the mix! The video will be dropping on Friday May 16,2025 on YouTube. The video is new and is a little sexy so if you're faint of heart - Viewer Beware!😂 By today's standard it's nothing but a TV commercial! Just a lot of dancing! So why don't we all just go get Hammered and watch the video!🍻🤘

“HAMMER”

I SAW YOU WALKING DOWN THE STREET,
I GUESS YOU LOOKED A LITTLE TOO MEAN,
A LITTLE WICKED, A LITTLE HARD TO BEAT,     

THEN I WAS CAUGHT IN YOUR VISE,
I STARTED MELTING LIKE A CUBE OF ICE, 
YOU HAD ME ROLLIN’ LIKE A PAIR OF DICE,

HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,
HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,
     
NOW I CAN FEEL, YOUR EYES OF STEEL,
CHECKING ME OUT LIKE I’M YOUR NEXT HOT MEAL, 
I FEEL LIKE RUBBER UNDER A SCREAMIN’ WHEEL,
  
YOU’VE GOT ME BURNING WITH PURE DESIRE,
MY STOMACH’S TURNING AND MY HEAD’S ON FIRE,       
I’M UNDER PRESSURE LIKE WELL-WORN TIRE,
 
HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,
HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,

[LEAD]

HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS,
HAMMER,
YOU’RE BEATING ME DOWN JUST LIKE A NAIL,
OH HAMMER, HAMMER, 
YOU POUND THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF MY SAILS.

Summerfruit (Kalimba Kitchen Challenge)

Cast of characters:

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, synth, seed idea

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –  vocals, lyrics, mix, and production

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–banjo, guitar, sitar, and final mastering

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, seed idea

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four-string fretless bass

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
