lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Rock and Roll Kills

It Won't Take Forever

we listen to our music and stare at the silver screen
that’s where we got all our wisdom
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

records and concerts and flowers and dope
love-ins and blue jeans and politics and hope
meditation yoga and non pollutant soap, oh yeah
it all loses meaning when you’re crazy and broke
it all loses meaning when your crazy and broke oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer now

we listen to our music glued to the colored sets
we pretend that we don’t care at all
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

communes and stereos and women’s rights,
it all loses meaning in the new moonlight
dance in the clubs to the lazer lights oh yeah
it's all or nothing, which one is right
its all or nothing, which one is right oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer

Clearing out the last of the songs left in our winter closet. This started off as an acoustic cover of The Chromatic’s cover of ‘Petals’ by Hole but evolved into this bittersweet melody that reminds me of Elliott Smith, Jim O’ Rourke, Low and the somber side of Beck.

Undoubtedly I’ll keep fiddling with the mix as always and will then ship it off for mastering at some point.

Now we are very much looking to forward to embracing the spirit of summer by leaning into our rockier influences…more to come!

Expectations

lyrics:
Just another second before i blow you away
just another hype before this decadence
U r about to be eliminated beyond this fence
u know u don't have any decent defense

That's the condition shit
where all the people spit
the gratefulness that should exist
but got lost from people's fist


Just another war about to begin
that's the people's choice gathered on one regime
U r about to be eliminated beyond this world
u know u don't have any decent kind of word

Now the history repeats itself
just another book from the shelf
just another hit before this demolition begins.

Acumen

Hear us oh Acumen
The horde is at the wall
Without your help I fear for all

Temptation, the darkness
Born from demon seed
Guide us in our time of need  

Oh Acumen 
Of wisdom and light

Mighty Arrogance spreads it’s wings 
As brilliance dims 

Do not forsake us now oh Acumen
Lead us not to rot but sweet dominion  

Brave bold vigilance
Is fending off the hate
But soon it may be to late

Dogma strikes
Without hesitation 
Awareness the revelation
The rev-e-la-tion

Comprehension
Understanding
Empirical reason
Are fading fast
Into the past 
Of days gone by

Oh Acumen 
Source of truth

Mighty Arrogance spreads it’s wings 
As brilliance dims 

Do not forsake us now  oh Acumen
Lead us not to rot but sweet dominion 

The brut strength of ignorance
Is smashing down the gate
Save us from this woeful fate 

The swarm of indifference
Attacks at viral speed
Defend us from absurdity

Oh Acumen

Why Does It Feel So Bad

another really silly lovesong

This song imagines The Last Bite of a dying vampire, hoping that the love of his life will give him the strength to live on. As he savors everydrop of blood, in his delerium he dreams of the romantic moments of the flesh and grows increasingly weary until he succumbs to his last breath.

The Last Bite

Cast of Characters:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – acoustic guitar, synth, and composition
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- vocals, lyrics, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless Warwick bass
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano, B3 synth voice, synth sax, and JJ's angels (voice synth)
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– master and production

This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.
  Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning. 
  The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.
  Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.
  This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind 
there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind
how could I have been so blind?
 
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me 
it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea
the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home 
the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown 
on their own

“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play” 
our leaders assured us we’d never go poor
and nobody questions the truth anymore 
but what did we do it all for?
 
Our science sustains us like fine works of art
but are we closer together or farther apart?
we’re each on an island alone on the sea
the ocean between us expands rapidly
is this where we wanted to be?
 
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me 
it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be
machines tried to help us but something went wrong
the future we wanted was here all along
 
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind 
there were words left unsaid…

Spirit Transitioning

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, synth and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – custom five string fretless bass and PRS SE semi-hollwbody electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Sunnybeck-- @sunnybeck — Beck — synth and MIDI composition
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric wah guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This song began as a looper beat that Josh created in BandLab. He does that often to start an idea. However, this beat sat on the shelf for almost a year, until he shared it with JJ for one of his Saturday night music sessions. JJ put an arrangement on it with his organ and bass. Josh quickly replaced the bass idea with his own version of it, though.
Now it was Ken's turn to replace the dull looper beat with something alive and organic, which he did in the most creative and solid way possible. We had a skeleton now, and it was time to share it with Beck, with whom this is Eclectic Collecitive's first song. She added her magic via the synth you hear sprinkled throughout. Stephen weighed in next with his funky wah guitar.
It was almost done at this point, but of course, we wanted Carl to add his greatness to it, as well, which he did by writing and singing some compelling vocals. He took the working title, which Josh came up with having just read The Odyssey, and wrote a whole song about it!
Once it was all laid down, we asked Tez to do his expert work with the mix and production, which he did perfectly, as always. We're very lucky to have two very talented producers in the group, and grateful to Tez for ironing this one out for us.
This is, as mentioned, the EC's first go round with Beck, and we couldn't be more thrilled to work with her. Not only is she a skilled, creative musician, but she is a delightful ray of sunlight to work with, too. We have another collab with here we plan to release in the coming weeks, as well. There will be more to follow. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark
Hold on dear crew
Cruel winds fly north
Our tenth foul day
Land found fresh worth
Untameable sea
We survived people
Ashore
Fresh water
Food
Lessen our feeble

Three of company
Greet these inhabitants
Find what land lends their habitance
Trio arrive and find not hurt
Then found local food
Good offering flirty

Three watered mouths by nicest taste
Who needs home
We stay
No haste
Love lotus buds
Don’t mind the captain
Let’s stay and munch this tuck of trapping

Captain bemused All aboard!
No more shall eat this food mind sword
What of home!
What of love!
Weep not dear three
Cold turkey tough

Smite that sea
Hold tight your oars
Now heave to Ithaca
South-westwards
Bye Lotus eaters
Trip like land
Love lesson lives
Myth mystery scanned



Isle of the Lotus Eaters (Eclectic Collective featuring SunnyBeck!)

This one reaches back farther than memory, to a lakeshore in old Suffolk where Neanderthal hands learned how to call fire from stone. The Americana Project carries the tale forward in warm harmonies and steady pulse, tracing how those first sparks shaped every shelter, story, and meal that followed. The song moves like an ember passed through time, reminding us how much of our world was born from a simple flame tended with care.

A Folk song rising from deep history. The Fire Makers follows the first hands that learned to strike light from stone and change the future with a spark.

Verse 1
In the fields of old Suffolk, by a spring-fed lake,
Where lions and elephants wandered awake,
Two tiny sparks from stones in the hand,
Lit the first fires in a cold, wild land.

Chorus
The fire makers, long before our time,
Striking flint and pyrite to light the first prime.
They tamed the night, they held the flame,
The ancestors of warmth, we remember their name.

Verse 2
Not the ones we call modern, not Homo sapiens,
But Neanderthals strong, under gray winter heavens.
With careful hands and minds that could see,
They learned the secret of fire, the first mastery.

Chorus
The fire makers, long before our time,
Striking flint and pyrite to light the first prime.
They tamed the night, they held the flame,
The ancestors of warmth, we remember their name.

Verse 3
They gathered ‘round hearths in the fading light,
Crafting their tools as they banished the night.
Handaxes in hand, smoke curling high,
The first storytellers under the sky.

Chorus
The fire makers, long before our time,
Striking flint and pyrite to light the first prime.
They tamed the night, they held the flame,
The ancestors of warmth, we remember their name.

Verse 4
Cooking their meals, their bodies did grow,
Their brains lit up with the fire's warm glow.
A safeguard from beasts, from the cold and the rain,
The spark of creation born from human pain.

Chorus
The fire makers, long before our time,
Striking flint and pyrite to light the first prime.
They tamed the night, they held the flame,
The ancestors of warmth, we remember their name.

Bridge
Before our tents and cities stood,
Before our songs were carved in wood,
There were flames that danced in a primeval land,
Guided by minds and not by hand.

Verse 5
So remember the makers, the first to command,
The flicker of fire in a cold, harsh land.
Before we arrived with our tales and our song,
They were the keepers of warmth all along.

Chorus (Final)
The fire makers, long before our time,
Striking flint and pyrite to light the first prime.
They tamed the night, they held the flame,
The ancestors of warmth, we remember their name.

Outro
And still in the night, when the sparks rise high,
We see the first fires light up the sky.
From Neanderthal hands to the modern day,
The fire makers' gift still guides our way.
