would fit nicely into the realworld label. superb work.

wonderful melodies, harmonies and vocals.

this is very cool! really digging the cultural elements and the above par progression of this

Today we are mostly musing on hocus pocus and adding a little cereal box religion to taste.

In the never ending universe
Nothing there at all
Unaware yet dreaming
You'll hear me call

Though you don't remember
You've been here before
Time without a number
Rooms without a door

Take this gift and treasure it
A blend of pleasure and pain
You'll have no way to measure it
Before you're coming round again

Crying as you enter
I whisper in your ear
Live long and prosper
On this new frontier

As your light is fading
Life is on the wane
Have no fear of darkness
You'll be coming round again

Take this gift and treasure it
A blend of pleasure and pain
You'll have no way to measure it
Before you're coming round again

Partir

Il me faudra encore un peu le temps de voir rouiller toutes ces chaînes 
Le temps de sécher toutes ces larmes, de regarder passer l averse 
Il me faudra encore un peu le temps de laisser le passé derrière
Le temps d’esquisser d autres aurores, de retrouver des repères 
                 
Je voudrais partir (et danser sur les nuages)
Je voudrais partir (Me poser sous tes feuillages)
Je voudrais partir (et danser sur les nuages)
Je voudrais partir (ne plus jamais rester sage)

Il me faudra encore un peu le temps de voir rouiller toutes ces chaînes 
Le temps de laisser pleurer l’automne,de tourmenter un autre hiver
Il me faudra encore un peu le temps,de voir se  déployer mes ailes 
de voler en direction du Nord, de retrouver mon Soleil

Leave

It will take me a little more time to see these chains rust away
Time to dry these tears like watching the rain drain away
I will need a little more time to leave my  past behind
Time to sketch other dawns, new landmarks to be found
                 
I would like to leave (and dance among the clouds)
I would like to leave ( and be underneath your leaves)
I would like to leave (and dance among the clouds)
I would like to leave (and this time the choice would be mine)

It will take me a little more time to see these chains rust away
Time to let the autumn cry, to let the winter die
I will need a little more time to see my wings spread 
to fly towards the North, to find my Sun

Partir…(with Mathieu)

🤷‍♂️ I’m not overexplaining it.

Come have a seat, I need a favor 
Incensed craving, a need to savor 
An intense yearning, an urge to please  
Want you to feel the pleasure of 
Release (release)

One more time and check the box 
One more grind and pick the lock 
It’s coming on now, so don’t you stop 
Explode on me and feel the shock 
Release (release)

Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Let it….

"Little Brother" is a soulful blues collaboration between Maeki Maii and Jason Langvee that explores the complexities of sibling relationships. With Jason’s emotive English vocals and Maeki's warm French rap, the song balances heartfelt reminiscence with a message of resilience and support. The rich instrumentation, featuring bluesy guitar and smooth organ, creates a warm backdrop for a powerful narrative about love, protection, and the unbreakable bond between brothers.

Little Brother

Falling down

You lead a merry dance
Spin me round and round
'Til we all fall down
Falling down

And when I try to follow
I'm always falling down
My feet can't match the music
I feel like I'm a clown

Sometimes I catch your rhythm
I feel on solid ground
Then we all fall down
Falling down

You march to a different drummer
You hear a different sound
So we all fall down
Falling down

And when I try to follow
I'm always falling down
My feet can't match the music
I feel like I'm a clown

Out of Step

A twist on the 'Appearance Medicine' phrase.

APPEARANCE MEDICINE

Tripping round some corridors
Nothing but neon lights
Floor polish and hidden voices
There you are before my eyes
It’s appearance medicine
Like a hormone injects in a vein
It’s appearance medicine
A face that lights a flame
S O B and tachy heart when lightning seeds a body start
That jumps a gate to permeate my actual need 
For you with me - today

This hospital’s a restaurant
Medicine is the menu
God’s own surgeon shaped the face
That walks me to the moon
It’s appearance medicine . . .

Ah-huh Ah Huh da da da da da da da da
It’s appearance medicine
It’s appearance medicine

Everyday it’s much the same
Going on that ward round
Floor polish and hidden voices
Soon my heart it’s on the pound

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- PRS SE semi hollow body wah guitar, and ooh aah vocals at the end
This song began as a bass composition recorded as a stem by Mark. He named it after a hang out spot he and his friends used to go to as teenagers to drink beer and smoke bowls. He shared it with JJ, who turned it over to the Eclectic Collective so that we could have our way with it. However, Mark didn't use a click track to record it, so when he sent it to us, Ken had to come up with a drum beat based on Mark's structure, to which Mark then redid his bass part. That takes a lot of imagination on Ken's part when we do something that way.
The first one of us to lay down a part for it was Chris, who added some really freaky textural guitar. Ken was next up, completing the rhythm section with his mighty drums. Ken then redid his part to better match the bass, thus completing the rhythm section with his mighty drums. Then, Stephen laid down the gritty, underlying rhythm guitar that runs throughout. Josh was up next, adding his melodic wah guitar to the mix. JJ came along soon after and laid down the magical synth that runs throughout. Last, but not least. Tez dropped the fiery solo towards the end.
Once the music was all laid down, we thought it could use some oohs and aahs at the end, so Josh recorded them as a five part harmony. However, choosing to only use the highest thee parts in the song, our expert producer on this one, Tez, decided to make a coda out of all five. So, stick around for a treat at the end!
This is the third song the Eclectic Collective has done as a collab with Mark F. He's a very talented solo bassist, whose other music worth checking out on his page, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Bay Of Pigs Lullaby

this track was inspired by reading The Wager, a great true adventure story by David Grann. 

lyrics

meet me in the portrait 
down beneath the shade of tree
pack me in a suitcase
hollow out a chest built out for tea

I could be the border 
maybe you could set my scene
a painting like a raincheck 
trapped inside a submarine 

somebody is following
you better watch your back
once you lost your mind it's gone
and your incurring 
wager islands wrath 

so meet me in the rainbow 
down by the waterfront cascade
where beaux jack a dandies 
stole all the hearts from those who prayed

we could be important 
when our discoveries unveiled 
hook me up to morphine girl 
and I'll put up the bail

somebody is following 
you better watch your back
once you lost your mind it's gone
and your incurring wager islands wrath 

so meet me in the portrait 
we'll set sail at crescent moon
you can be the cannon
ball and I'll provide the boom

look out for me this summer 
when all the seas have frozen cold
you can be the treasure map
and I'll provide the gold


thanks for listening, greatly appreciated as always.
