What won't will us through this veil
against the tree's bark
along the crescent moon?
Pressed like leaves
entwined against eaves in the rain.
Voices speak but I cannot hear.
Sliced and dissected 
across tectonic astral tensions.

Over the airwaves
through the silvery stairway cafe
and up through the billows of smoke.
The only escape
through the hellish row
to the unknown.

Again & Again

Again & Again (Mix 2026)

I first met Lucy years ago, maybe four at the time, who's mother is friends with my daughters.  Her eyes were her most striking feature, deep-set, blue, somewhat melancholy, and could look straight at you, unblinking, as if probing your soul.  I was mesmerized.  Fast forward to March 2025; Lucy is now friends with my granddaughters and visiting them when I happened to be visiting as well.  I was playing guitar for them, playing the songs I had written for them, and when I had finished, Lucy looked at me and ever so sweetly asked if I could write a song for her.  How could I refuse?  I quickly improvised something in E-minor as she seemed like an E-minor kind of girl.  She gave me a thankful smile for my effort, was glad to be included, and the little improvisation quickly forgotten shortly thereafter...or so I thought.  Several months passed,  I was in my music room and starting to practice when her little song popped out saying "hello, remember me?"  Then and there I set about to finish what I had started for Lucy and now present to you, my first song of 2026, a dedication to a mysterious little girl with unforgettable eyes.
Thanks to Adobe for the picture of a little girl who is not Lucy, but looks a little like her when we first met.  

Lucy's Eyes


This is a song for the dishevelled 
Lovers who are looking for time & space together away from the pressures of life. 
One of my favourite songs from 2025 that I feel went under the radar. 
Mike Fox who wrote the acoustic guitar melody which I thought was beautiful when I heard it has released the full blown version on his soundcloud site.
I asked him to strip it right back unplugged for me to release again in another format.
This song was released a couple of months ago on my site in its full on version. I hope you give it another spin in this style.

Are We Nearly There
By This Sound Society 
(Fox & Brownie )

V1
Tomorrow’s problem I’m drinking today 
I know you get me in every way 
The mood is lifted the clouds have shifted 
And just for today let it be gifted 
Perfection would be great 
I will settle for fantastic 
They can keep Carriages horses king’s 
And all of those castles 
And yesterday can keep all of our troubles &. hassles 


Chorus 
Are we nearly there yet
Cause this journey far to long 
Are we nearly there yet 
Cause I need somewhere to belong 
Somewhere where I feel strong 
Somewhere where the light shines 
Somewhere where you are mine 
Just Somewhere lost in time 

V2 
A rendezvous with destiny
So why doesn’t it feel so heavenly 
Are we running away 
Our running towards something else today 
Can you feel the shift baby
Cause it’s taking a grip 
You don’t need your eyes 
To see the chemistry 
Someone for someone else 
Someone else for somebody 

Chorus to finish…..,

  This is a project that JJ has been putting together for us as a gift every year for the past couple of years, which gives us a way to speak to all our fans, friends, associates on SoundCloud. It is a compilation of a bunch of our songs from the past year, over which we all answer some questions in an interview style. This year, our interviewer is SunnyBeck, although it has been Jeff of Stonerjazz fame in the past. We have collaborated on a few songs with her, and now consider her part of the Eclectic Collective family.
 We know this is a very long project, so please listen to as much as you want, and know this is as much for our collective listening pleasure as it is to show the world. The time stamps of all out appearances are included with our names, so if you just want to listen to a particular person while commenting on their page, please feel free to do that, too. 
  This is a time of year to take stock in and reflect on the past year. We all have a lot for which to be thankful. We added Carl to the group this year, which has been a delight to all of us. He and Chris have given us so many amazing compositions to work with. Chris is a full member of the band, although he doesn't appear as an interviewee in the documentary.
  We also want to sincerely thank the other collaborators who have shared their magic with us this year. They include Jonathan Beckenstein, Jeff Roberts, MahanMahan, Didier Burli, Tea R. Sea, Mark F, E Ruizzo, Saskiagoethals, Joe Stroffolino, Sean Smith, Steve's Planet, Gaz Brownie, Nyla K, Scratch Kelly, and Single Use & Recycled. They are all spectacular musicians to whom we're very grateful.
  Most of all, though, we're sincerely thankful for each one of you out there with whom we've been able to share our music and make a personal connection with. Your music delights us, as well, and we know that all the attention we get is actually just musicians like us checking poking their heads out and reaching for the same connection. We hope you enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoy making it. We wish you a successful, creative, and meaningful New Year!

2025 Eclectic Collective Rockumentary

"Nur eine kleine Erinnerung" has two meanings depending on context:
'Just a little reminder' or 'Just a memory.'

The question: Would you date a man without money? She says no. What if he has a good character and loves you? "Davon kann ich mir nichts kaufen" ("Can't buy jack with that").

Is she a joke, or brutally honest—making us laugh because truth stings?

Maybe that's why it became Just a Memory. Fleeting anyway—will you remember me? I'm rich inside.

Just a Memory Reminder - Would You? Niemals

    Osatethe is a band name I created a few years ago. Opium Satan Death (deth) and the e on the end for flavor. I don't advocate for the drug. I just did it once and it changed me drastically. And I was really into metal music at the time, Satan and Death... 
    
 I've been recording music for about 15 years, on laptops. Staying with friends and family. I get a job now and again, but I always lose all desire and hate everything and go back to the music. Can't keep it up forever. I guess, but that's the way it's been. Bad relationships and it's hard to be genuine among people just trying to get through the day. So I stay away from it all a lot. Most important to me that I hold on to my reality. 
   
  Riley is a good friend of mine,  and he writes these unique poems, and it's a great privelage to sing them. I can record music quick and easy but lyrics take me forever, and I feel like he says better what I want to say. Down with society. Up with originality. Take it to the bank. Live from the heart. 
    
 Peace and Love.
