We're living through a very long period of wars... they seem endless... and it seems that, except for the fatalities, they no longer make the news... it's unfortunate, and it's very brave of you to touch on this subject in your new song...

This subversive tension between the sound and the words is something that often appeals to me, and you do that very well. I have tried it, myself, here: https://soundcloud.com/jonathan_beckenstein/window

I received a pair of 'Happy Socks' as a birthday present. This inspired me to write this fun song.

I bought some happy socks and I put them on my feet,
I started dancing round to the rhythm and the beat,
Of happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
I put another pair on the bedroom chair,
I'm so lucky that I got another pair,
Of happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
They may be wearing out, with a hole in every toe,
But I'm never gonna let my happy socks go,
My happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
My happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
With a pair of these, you've got the socks that really rock,
You can dance all day like you're never gonna stop,
With happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
With a pair of these, you've got the socks that really rock,
You can dance all day like you're never gonna stop,
With happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
Happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,

Happy Socks

"Let’s Wake Up" is a songwriter-style track inspired by the 70s light rock-pop sound. A conscious ballad about opening our eyes to the world, awakening to reality and embracing awareness. Gentle guitars, melodic arrangements and heartfelt vocals create an uplifting atmosphere.

Written, composed, performed and produced by an french independent artist.

Go Your Own Way

I’ve seen your fires burning

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl siezed on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about. 

  Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. He also added the subtle human voice choral synth you hear throughout. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section. 

  Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.

  We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carls songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine

here comes the last of the three works on ‘retrospective future’.

background: as alarming as the scenarios are that scientists predict for the year 2100 if there is no rapid change in the way we treat our environment, this future still feels like abstract sci-fi, just beyond our imagination – more than twice as far away as the year 2001 was when kubrick's ‘a space odyssey’ came out.

but then, we watch our granddaughter, who just turned three, riding her scooter, screaming with joy. we realize how incredibly quickly time has passed since we were her age. and we have to think that in 2100, she will be only slightly older than we are today. and suddenly, 2100 becomes just one heartbeat away, an infinitely sad one.

I wrote 'scooting aleece' which originally dealt with a wild friend of us 40 years ago and we loved singing it at our all-night parties for two, albeit with different lyrics. recently, I rewrote the lyrics as a dedication to our granddaughter for the reasons mentioned above. to her and to all other kids her age.

while working on the AI vocals for the original 4/4 arrangement, for some reason I kept hearing a 3/4 beat in my head, which completely turned the entire compositional concept on its head. so, after creating the first version, which was faithful to the original, I created a second one that was completely different. and because it also featured a vocal premiere, I’d like to share this second version first. the first one will come later, if anyone is interested.

Windy hair, sunny beams in the air
There is no better free
Endless now, every moment a wow
Feeling all you see

Life’s a dance, every turn full of news
Life’s a grand carousel
Days as nights, time’s a far-away thing
There’s no end, little belle
All your world’s just well

Scooting Aleece
Life’s a big ease
Scooting Aleece
Until one day
They gonna take 
Your smile away

We all know, we are burning your world
Making bucks of fire
Drown your dreams in the floods of our greed 
Stocks will rise ever higher

We’ll be gone, long ago, like this song
Just a mote in time
You’ll still there, bear it all along
Have to pay for our crimes

Scooting Aleece
Life’s a big ease
Scooting Aleece 
Until one day
They gonna take 
Your smile away

Scooting Aleece
we wish we could freeze
Scooting Aleece 
This happy day
They couldn’t take
Your smile away

Scooting Aleece
Fly with the bees
Scooting Aleece
Dance under trees
Scooting Aleece
All days like these

Scooting Aleece

Hey Folks... This is a new collaboration with the insanely talented Mr. Hall! Noobly created this intensely imaginative instrumental track that was just so inviting. He asked me to write lyrics to his inspiring track, and the rest is history. It is forever my pleasure and honor to work with such an enormously talented composer and producer! Thanks for the ride Andy... Here's to many more!

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I walked on sacred stones
to fulfil your dream
I never tried to run
I never dared to flee
I kept this feeling deep
so deep inside I couldn't sleep
And then It woke me up and
Something took a hold of me

(Pre Chorus)
It's like I finally see you
and finally see myself

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange..

(Pre Chorus)
The things I thought forbidden
Was not a sin at all
Because we're only human
And it's to want something more..
Is this my skin, is this my all?

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange..

(Verse 2)
A Vessel just on loan
A mask I've always worn
But underneath it All,
I feel the seeds I've sown
Is it too late to change
It’s time to let it fall

(Pre Chorus)
It's like I finally see you
And finally see myself

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange..

(Pre Chorus)
My skin's a silent witness
To stories never told
Lost and found within it
A soul that’s slowly growing old
On earth for just a moment
'til I'm truly home...

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange…

It's So Strange

It's so Strange - Nat Daniels & Noobly

Vertical Spinning Carousel

Somewhere is being bombed again, and the city is burning.
The scene is being broadcast live to the world.
The latest technology has made war more convenient.
Nowadays, anyone can easily join a war.

There was a phrase called “Love and Peace.”
No one says such things anymore.

Vertical Spinning Carousel at incredible speed.
Everyone's about to get shaken off.


The kings seem to be consumed by delusions.
But no one seems able to tell them that.
More soldiers are gathered, and the war expands.
Using cutting-edge weapons to wage old-fashioned wars.

Religion no longer has anything to do with this.
This is about someone's power or money.

Vertical Spinning Carousel at incredible speed.
No one seems able to stop it.


A single bomb can destroy a city built over many years.
Expensive weapons are used without hesitation.
There is a king who believes that tariffs will solve everything.
There are kings who wish to live eternally.

It seems no one can stop truly foolish things.
We don't seem to have grown at all.

Vertical Spinning Carousel at incredible speed.
No one ever wanted to ride this thing.


Vertical Spinning Carousel

¡¡ Warning: very old track with very LO-FI sound !!

Five verses over improvised chords, which are divided into 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 parts; passion, going back, and at the end... what happened here?

Cinco versos sobre acordes improvisados, que partí en 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 y 6 tiempos; pasión, vuelta atrás y, al final... ¿qué ha pasado aquí?

Lyrics/Letra:

Perdido... 
Perdido...
Perdido... 
Perdido...

Perdido en la oscuridad de tu nombre.
Perdido en la sombra de tu regazo.
Perdido... 
Perdido...

Perdido en el miedo de tu deseo.
Perdido en la espesa espuma estéril
que me lleva y no te alcanza... ay, perdido estoy.

Perdido (Miedo de tu deseo)

I'm making songs at midnight in my room. I play acoustic guitars, synthesizers, and I sing.

Vertical Spinning Carousel
