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

Fun tune about the peace loving folks of Planet Trillium and their excitement and ultimate dismay upon discovering Earth and all it's troubles. Inspired by the artwork of Wina Obake who was kind enough to do an original cover art for this song

Planet Trillium

The song is about joining your first band at fifty and thinking maybe you should have done this earlier. Photo was taken at our first recording session, in the loft!

Days Of Silence

Had a little dry spell, hopefully it's over now. In the span of 24 hours I have alternated between hating and loving this track about 400 times...

If you need a helping hand
Someone who understands
Don’t shed a tear, I’m right here

If you need a dollar bill
Or have a little time to kill
Baby you know I will
I’m right here

When you’re down and blue
And you need two big strong arms to pull you through
Hold on tight, that’s what i’ll do

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you night and day
Have no fear I'm right here

When the road is long
And you need someone to beside you, I’ll come along
Anywhere with you, is the place where I belong

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you every day
Have no fear I'm right here
Have no fear I'm right here
Let me make this clear

I'm Right Here

I  wanna  do  let  me  fall  in  love  with  you

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, and mix

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– guitar 

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

This song was written by Ken and a dearly departed friend and former bandmate named Chris Bennett about the latter's divorce that he was going through at the time when their band was also breaking up. Ken had a good demo of the two of them fleshing it out, which the Eclectic Collective used as a template for the song. Josh was first to add his unique slide bass line to the song. Next up was Tez, who added the fiery solo you hear at the end. Stephen came in not too long after with the rhythm guitar, complete with the intricate fills you hear throughout. Around the same time, Mark added some really innovative, genre-bending horns and shakers to it. Ken then completed the song with his stellar vocals. 

  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, so Ken turned it over to Stephen for an objective mix, although Ken was still heavily involved in the process, too. This is the first time Ken has sung lead for an EC song, and we were all very impressed with his skills on this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.


Original lyrics by Chris Bennett:

I once believed in happy ever after
Now I’m convinced by tears instead of laughter
There’s not much good inside that’s left to do the things for my survival

If I relied on you to make it better
I’d die a 1000 times, before we get together
All that is bad inside will rise back to the top
With your arrival

Burn down the doorway
Run down the hall
Scream out my name
But I may never hear you, never hear you
Drive down the highway
Until you’re gone
I may never hear you call

I still believe that someone’s always watching
Each time I turn around, I never hear them talking
All that is bad inside will never fade away with your arrival

Burn down the doorway
Run down the hall
Scream out my name, but I may never hear you
Never hear you
Drive down the highway
Until you’re gone
I may never hear you call

Na Na Na  Na Na Na
Na na na

Happy Ever After (Eclectic Collective)

Indie Rock tune about ghosting.....do you ghost?

Ghost

In the depths of all these twisted blooms
drifting solemnly in summers hue
glazing luminous on paths we tread
hanging in the wild days that fled

the distant past that hides in me
divides the light inside you see
the scars that slide will be
forever in these strange old seeds

patterns dancing in the air that looms
drifting shadows cross the skies we knew
glazing luminous on boughs that pledge
hanging in the wild days that fled

the distant past that hides in me
divides the light inside you see
the scars that slide will be
forever in these strange old seeds

divisions of light

All Hallow's Eve (Nightmareless)🎃🖤

Hey don't forget who you are
Don't forget your face
Its not Halloween
Its Hallow's Eve

I don't know who I am
I don't where I've been
Human junk!!
Just words and so much skin
Stick my hand through the cage
Of this endless routine!!
Just some flesh caught
In this big broken machine!!

Hey don't forget who you are
Don't forget your face
Its not Halloween
Its Hallow's Eve

Its' Hallow's!!

Neno, is a multi-genre composer, guitarist, keyboard & bass player, and occasionally singer with a warm voicecolor. He has also another project/page, Danen II (covers and support). We worked in the recent past together, resulting in songs expressing deep emotional feeling.

The instrumental "Lost souls" cuts already deep in the heart.. The lyrics i found in the deepest well.

Lost souls

If nothing is your name
And love is just a game
If it’s in  the wrong direction
that you’re looking for connection,

And you reach out for acceptance
And you want to be seen
But no one seem to care and everyone is mean

If you’re longing for attention
And you’re screaming it out
But alone in the desert
No one hears your shout
And you’re talking with the devil
Corse he is the only one 
Who tries to figger out 
what you want

Club of Lost souls -revisited (collab with Neno)

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.

Grave : music, acoustic guitar, vocals & lyrics

15 Min City W/ Grave

It has been a minute since Jeff and I have done anything wacky (I'm in the process of moving and it is a time consuming thing) so I was really glad to see this one come together.  I had sent him the main riff that makes up the song and he colored it inside and outside the lines as only he can. The result is 'The Sea Shanty One".  Listen as the Siren’s song calls throughout the journey. We ain’t fall for it though

Quanah Stewart --vocals, lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, synths, arrangement, composition, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, electric drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass
 
This song began with Stephen and his friend and bandmate, Quanah Stewart who also sings this version, and who wrote the lyrics. They were in a band together for about 7 years in the early 2000s. When the band broke up, they went many years without playing together. Until, in 2018 Stephen started his TexMex shaman project and this was one of the first songs he wrote.  Quanah had moved to Austin in the meantime but on a visit back to Dallas, Stephen asked him to come over and add the vocal track you hear on the song.  
 
Fast toward to 2024 and Stephen wanted to remix this along with a few other older tunes. He asked his good friends and teammates Ken and Josh if they’d like to help, and of course, they were super enthusiastic.  This is what he had to say about the finished product. "Their parts blew me away.  Beyond what I expected and it made it a whole new song.  Very grateful to them both for their time and talent." As are Ken and Josh very grateful to Stephen for sharing his awesome rocker with us.  

The title comes from trying to think of the stupidest song title Stephen could come up with, on a bet. And it’s close. 
  Of course, Stephen did the honors of mixing and producing it. Ken and Josh had a lot of fun brining this song back to life with him, whose creativity and skill are unparalleled. We all hope you (and Quanah) enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating

Lyrics:
