Better Not Be Late

LYRICS:

I paved the road and I drove it home
All on my own like I like to be
And I brought the rain and drank all your pain
And make you feel sane when you want to be

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
What you wanted from me, you don't need it
What you want me to be, I can't be it
What you need to believe, can't un-see it
What you need is the need to be now

Now now now now now now now now
Now now now now now now now now

I paint my sky and I fly it dry
Limits are high in a reverie
And I make the way and borrow you may
But you only play yourself mentally

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
What you wanted from me, you don't need it
What you want me to be, I can't be it
What you need to believe, can't un-see it
What you need is the need to be now

I used to be alone, I'm used to being alone
When I'm feeling alone, I feel I'm close to home
There will come a time when your mind is free
There will come a time when you don't need to be
Anyone

What you wanted from me, you don't need it
What you want me to be, I can't be it
What you need to believe, can't un-see it
What you need is the need to be now
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

EL ALCAZAR  (2024)

===================


Theme exclusively made with native Music Studio 2 instruments.

Composed during the year 2015 in my walks in this monument of my city.

 It is the oldest palace in use in Europe with 1,000 years old in its oldest part, and it is full of history that you can feel.

I wanted to capture the beauty and grandeur of the site where Game of Thrones was filmed (In the series it is the Palace of Dorne).

In this and final revision, the wind instruments have been further enhanced in certain phases to further mark the melody.

It is one of those places that say you have to see before you die.

Hardware. iPad 
DAW. MS 2

23 Tracks with only native instruments.

Mix. My ear.

As always, grateful for your comments.

Paco.

El Alcazar (2024)

Cast of Characters:

Roy Roy – @user-967672349 – Roy – foundational guitar, composition, and arrangement

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, synth sax, synth strings, synth brass, production, and mix

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– whah guitar, and mastering

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

This song began as a well developed, funky disco idea Roy came up with on his guitar, and shared with JJ. JJ added a wonderfully complex orchestration of various keys (including the sax solo you hear towards the end. JJ invited Stephen first, who came up with the funky ass wah guitar that also carries the groove.

Of course, JJ realized that this is a disco song, so he enlisted Ken to come up with one of his awesome beats to carry it along.

JJ had a rudimentary bass line that he played himself, but decided to get Josh to do the honors instead. So, Josh came up with a totally new bass line designed to shake your cheeks.

Once it was in the can, we decided to ask JJ to mix it for us. This is a first time JJ has mixed a song for The Eclectic Collective, and we were all impressed with his work. Stephen mastered it, as he is a master masterer.

We're all really impressed and delighted with the experience of working with Roy and his music. He is a very talented artist with a lot of great music to check out on his page, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it, and that it makes you shake your hips while you're doing the dishes, too!

Heart In Your Hands

*This image of canned, creamed possum, which I found years ago on the internet, and the idea of canning possum (and possum road kill), has intrigued and fascinated me for some time. As I was writing what I thought was a 'sexy' vocal on top of Oussama's sexy track, this song kept interrupting the process, and so much so that I thought I would get it out of my system to quiet the impulse, and then continue on with the original song.
I actually love possums and think they get a bad rap for being too aggressive. 
Stay tuned for the other version...

Tony(Tony's Lyrics) asked me if I could make a cover of one of his tracks. I always liked his songwriting, so I went through his catalogue. I decided to make a version of "Something about the rain". I did some changes in the music and added a chorus part for example. And this is how the song came out... Thanks for giving me the chance to work with you Tony!

Surely You Jest!

I'm a singer/songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden.
The guitar is my main instrument. 
But I enjoy to have fun with other instruments too.
My songs are organic and mostly acoustic based.
I guess they could be described as a blend of folk, country, blues and world music.
And I haven't written my best song yet. That's what keeps me going.
Please be my guest,  have a listen and write me a comment if you like.
