Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

Pre Chorus
No imagination—-no glory
Worry don’t set ——the pace

Verse1
each level deeper——— keep it positive ——
—-no negative ——when I come through——
🎵It’s unedited
Playing the odds———I won’t lose

Wow —-wow—-wow
now you know
rhymes so——- magical
X’s and O’s ———-crossing lines like
tic-tac-toe

Verse2
Throwing kisses ——count it—-SWAK
tapping out Beats—— enemies being taxed
Hitting the streets, with pleasantries
—-Every key, belong to me, gate keeper.
Can you see—-it has to be——number one priority?
Keep it 100—-come on
Peep That shadow —-by my side
That’s the Grim Reaper

What’s money worth—— when life is much cheaper,
hand-to-hand, with death,
Each level deeper,
Each level deeper
the lesson you learn ——only once
he’s a great teacher [Echo]

No imagination—-no glory
Worry don’t set ——the pace

🎵living life —-no regrets, is what I choose 🎵

Each level deeper, ever since the beginning,
convince, but still winning,
musically I’m pimping,

A Christmas Ghost Story

Hi there, this one isn’t one of our usual first-take/one-take recordings during a jam session; we did actually spend a bit of time on this one! It is a live take though, no overdubs, except for the synths that I added after.

Jim Sanders is on the drums, Charlie Villiers and Dave Toolan are on the guitars, I’m on the bass and singing (and I wrote it).

Look out for Charlie’s sublime solo 🤩 one of my personal favourites of his!

Lyrics

I already know
what you’re gonna say
what you’re gonna say

Maybe I’m afraid
I’m incapable
I’m incapable

Would we still be here
if the rain had stopped
if the rain had stopped

And of course this may not fly
but we’ll give it a shot
yes we’ll give it a shot

Everything in life,
if you add it up
if you add it up

It’s my faithful wife
and we are in love
yes we are in love
.      (🤩🎸)
Oh and how we dance
you don’t stand a chance
no you don’t stand a chance

Taken by surprise
you’ll get used to it
you’ll get used to it

And the longer that you leave it
the longer it will be to grow
And the harder that you push it
The harder it will be to know
And I told you not to hurry
Don’t make up you’re mind just yet
Cos how can you be certain
promises can be kept?
~

Not so long ago, Kelly offered me a collaboration and gave me this magnificent composition on the piano, its melody made me think of a Japanese animated film that I love, and I simply dressed the piano in a light dress in order to continue the magic. Thank you very much Kelly for this moment.


NOT SO LONG AGO.  🎧✨

Here’s my latest song writing effort mastered by my lovely Sander. 😊❤️🎶❤️

Works Wonders…

For the fabulous few who leave no footprint.

In Mesopotamia
There was this mania
Building stuff out of clay bricks

Sumerian powers
Built temples and towers
Ziggurats, that’s what they did

Humans are scoundrels
Trees should hold council
Just ask the bird or the fish

It’s never enough
With this ziggurat stuff
A ziggurat’s never too big  

The bird and the fish
Were thoroughly pissed
With the cat in the hat and his big ziggurat 

Builders were flagging
Whip  kept on cracking
I want a ziggurat bigger than that

Humans are scoundrels
Trees should hold council
Just ask the bird or the fish

It’s never enough
With this ziggurat stuff
A ziggurats never too big

I want a ziggurat bigger than that
I want a ziggurat bigger than that
I want a ziggurat bigger than that
I want a ziggurat bigger than that

I want a ziggurat bigger than that!

I Want A Ziggurat Bigger Than That!

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass

This song began with Mark, who fleshed out the entire thing, from the rhythm section, to the organ that you hear in there, to the lyrics and vocals, before he laid it on the rest of us. We all got a chuckle from the tongue in cheek humor of the lyrics, and were excited to work on a song about an anachronistic adventure of a soulful caveman. 
  Ken was first up with his version of the the beat, finding the soul in the rhythm. Josh was next up, of course, using his "normie" bass for the his version of the line. Once the rhythm section was in place, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, soulful e. piano to the mix. 
  Now that they had a solid foundation on which to play, Stephen and Tez added their guitar magic to the mix. Stephen with the rhythm and the fills, and Tez with the ripping solo at the end. Mark also added the festive VST steel drums that you hear throughout at this point, too. Now that the music was laid down, he perfected his awesome vocals to complete it.
  It was in the can at that point, and just needed Mark to throw a pro sounding mix on it. Then, Stephen mastered it in his always expert way to finish it off.
  Mark wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song (a la Al Green), which he did, all on his own. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song, both of which you can find on Mark's page. Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions. 
  This was a real team effort, even though it's really Mark's baby. The Eclectic Collective has many different methods of creating music. This one was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by mistermark:

Walking through this concrete jungle
I’m just trying to stay out of the way 
just me and ol’ Rex, my furry companion 
we been fielding funky looks all day
then somebody saw me kicking rocks with my bare toes
he said buddy have you lost your way?
then I sat right down and I started to cry
and this is what I had to say…

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say 

Sittin’ in my man cave watching the clock crawl
there's nothing good on my tv 
my big grubby hands can’t flip thru the channels
i cant even hold a cup of tea
I was chatting on the phone making plans with a lady
a little bit of company
but my date split QUICK when I opened the door
man I wonder what’s wrong with me

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break now
the ladies say I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

The big city’s fine but something’s on my mind
I feel a little incomplete
I miss my old club, for rustling up some grub
and the touch of grass below my feet
I’ve been around longer than all your creation, 
like the rocks and trees and streams
I wanna get back home, where forever I’ll roam
even if it’s only in my dreams

I’m a caveman
I can’t catch a break 
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

I’m a caveman, 
must be come kinda mistake
everybody says I’m so passé 
well I’m a - a caveman
It’s too much to take
but I’m gunna get back some day

A song I wrote in 2020…The Winter solstice has passed for 2024… Spring is on her way! Happy 2025 to all, especially those that hear this song of joy and hope! Simple! Some say I can’t or shouldn’t sing.. some don’t like my voice ( me, ha!🤩) - some say @ you do you… it’s not about alcohol…it’s about something far greater than all of us, combined! Hope you dig my stripped down version! I have the full band version on here, somewhere down that crazy river!! 😎

Drinking The Spring (Unplugged)

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, mix, and production
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Top T Classic
 electric wah guitar
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano, tambourine, and triangle
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Custom five-string fretless bass

This song started as a basic, yet melodically very strong composition by Terry involving him playing a synthesizer over a beat he created. He first shared it with Stephen, as they are regular collaborators in their project, Texas Tea, which are worth checking out on both of their pages, as well. Stephen then turned it over the the Eclectic Collective to work our magic on it.
  I was first up to the plate with this one, adding my deep, five string fretless bass to Terry's rudimentary beat. Ken was next up, however, adding the driving drum beat you hear, for which he used Terry's beat as a template and augmented a full kit sound to it. Stephen followed Ken, adding his striking wah guitar part to the whole thing. Tez was up soon after with his searing guitar soloing towards the end. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added the soulful electric piano you hear giving it a funk throughout, as well as the tambourine and the cool triangle dings. 
  Now that it was in the bag, we decided to ask Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his typical expert fashion, as well as the doing the mastering, too. However, Tez also did a production and mix that some of us are choosing to use instead, as a matter of taste, not quality. That is the one you'll find on my page.
  This is our holiday offering to all our fans, friends, colleagues, and peers. While it's not particularly a holiday song, it's a good display of where we are musically, and shows some of the flavor we want to add in the new year. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy holidays to you, and many happy returns!

Life with you has always been
like livin' in a circus whirlwind.
It's been fun. There's no doubt.
But since you broke my trust, babe, it has all turned inside out.
Yet I've been tryin'. And that's no lie.
But it's so hard to keep in all the pain you've caused inside.
Still, I'm sorry for my words
and actions towards you, baby, but I'm just so fuckin' hurt. 

Tell me, girl,
do you believe
in our love
or should we leave
it alone? 

It's been drivin' me insane
not talkin' to you, baby, and it's barely been a day.
That tells me something. But is this something wrong?
That I miss your precious lovin', it's better than my favourite song.
So, let's stop frontin' if this is real,
'cause every time we're touchin' we can't control how we feel.
So, all or nothin'. Or, maybe just friends.
But, either way, my pumpkin, I will love you 'til the end. 

So, tell me, girl,
do you believe
in our love
or should we leave
it alone?

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

Youtube: https://youtu.be/5TOaRZxQbGs?si=tAH31Rz_1uPP6dEn

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.
