Great interpretation. One of my school music teachers favorites too! He knew the bassist very well

wow Ross man, this is a great example of ambition being met with ability. very impressive rendition of this great song, man. wow!

hey man, had to return to this one. such a great job at all positions!

just digging into some older stuff while I have a spare moment (not really, lol!). I love how you go for the ambitious songs cause you know you can handle it! I saw the title and thought, wow!! And after hearing this I have the same reaction :) Such a tight production, as this song demands, and layered performances are really well done (good idea). enjoyed hearing that vocoder effect. top notch my friend!

Have always loved this song and you doesn’t disappoint me with this cover. Bravo!

That's how you do those harmonies! I can take my cover down now! Hahaha! Great job!!!!

Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra was one of my favorite songs from the late 1970's, and arguably one of the happiest songs ever written! This project is a lead vocal cover over an enhanced and remixed recording of the original instrumental and backup vocal tracks. I played along with and layered over the instrumental tracks with similar sounding instruments, to give it more presence and punch! Didn't reinvent the wheel here, just polished up the rims a bit! Enjoy!

'j walk'

The delicate kiss of a gentle breeze is bliss
as I've been walkin' up this hill far too long.
There's sweat dripping on my brow, and, honestly, up 'til now,
I wasn't all that sure that I could quite hold on. 

I walked down to the beach,
which, latley, has been outta reach,
to soak rays and to plant my feet in the sand.
I suppose it's not the sea,
but, still, the lake, it does for me,
what everyone else has that no-one understands. 

I'm so high, I cannot speak,
so I write these words in ink
so that I could possibly use them later.
Although my life is bleak,
I feel I offer unique 
perspectives of experiences and behaviors.

This is one of the earlier, more stripped down version of this song that’s found on my other colleauges’ Soundcloud pages\.
This song started as many of our best do, with Chris coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. He shared it with the rest of us shortly after, and we were all very excited to tuck into it.

Ken was fist at the trough for this one, adding his jazzy, expressive drums. Josh came in as soon as he had a beat to work with, adding his signature fretless bass to the mix. Not long after that, JJ broke out the hauntingly melodic piano and Shine On You Crazy Diamond timbred synth you hear throughout.

This song is an example of Eclectic Collective coming together to bring another one of Chris' brilliant songs to life. You should check out his new albums on Spotify, which you can find by clicking the link next to his name in the credits.


Better Not Say ***Stripped Down Version*** (The Eclectic Collective)

It’s the song before I go to bed
It’s the song that plays in my head
It’s the song before I go to sleep
It’s this song that keeps me breathing
It’s the song that keeps me breathing

Valhalla Lullaby

My baby told me something bout the way that you move 
Sly shape shifter out on the loose 
Everybody watching what you gonna do 
Fell to the fist of a luney tune 

Caught you by the tail but you bit off clean 
Dodged another bullet, Killin spree 
Everybody moving with a bottle or three 
Found me on the levee now let me be 


Let me be (x4)


And it real 
Ain't it real 
When you feel this way 
ain't it real 
ain't it real
Cant you take it appreciate it

Now I'm on the tail end of destiny 
Found what I needed what I came to see
The people behind the mystery 
Come out n get it go make the scene 

Chose another pose for the magazine 
Keepin my cool girl keepin it clean 
Frowning the growling underneath 
Keeping the judge proud n mean 

Hmm 
You gonna get it 
You gonna get it
