Shock the Algorithm

LIGHT OF DAY

Written by Novelli/Ruffolo
 
Rooted: 

The needle tears a hole
Please don't let me go
I didn't say goodbye
Now my heart is broken

The soul has to break
I hear you call my name
A ghost or just my pain
Now my heart is broken

Things never stay the same
They're always meant to change
Its over now
Now my heart has broken

Rooted

The Illusion of control

   A song that rocked my late teens; I've always loved the lyrics, the "Kenloachian" video, Jimmy Somerville's voice and the melody, but much less the synthetic arrangements and 80s production. It's a world far removed from our own, so we've freely reinterpreted the song in our own way...

 Une chanson qui a bercé ma fin d'adolescence ; j'ai toujours aimé les paroles, le clip "Kenloachien", la voix de Jimmy Somerville et la mélodie, mais beaucoup moins les arrangements synthétiques et la production des années 80. C'est un monde très éloigné du nôtre,  nous avons donc librement réinterprété la chanson à notre façon...

Crossing The Desert (Full Track)

Hello,
here's a groove full of experimental synth variety, of course there's a bit of retro rhythm on board as well. Hope you like it, I really had a lot of fun producing it.  🎧🙂

Cheers

I often wonder what people are talking about when they write the usual "love" song: my love is higher than a mountain/deeper than a sea/Iit will last forever ( then they add a day. great line John Prine!!)
I really think these songs do a disservice to love and confuse the inexperienced as to what to expect.
Relationships are not easy. Love at first sight is usually more physical than not and so is fragile . 
Respect/devotion/selflessness to some extent are all needed among other difficult traits to make a relationship ( ie love) last through time

lyrics

Love is not a gentle breeze
that takes you where you want to go
love is work
love is hard
not pretty birds singing in your yard

Love doesn't happen at first sight
It's not about soulmates or perfect fits
Love is give
Love is take
And do what you must 
to fix the breaks

It's about forgive it's about forget
It's not just about sex or lust
patience
trust
passion 
devotion

Love is biting your lip
It's about clenching your toes
Take the blows
take the bows
make it work
no matter how

Love is not quitting
or turning your back
take the good
with the bad
take the happy 
with the sad

Love is not the highest mountain
Love is not the deepest sea
Love is two people there for each other
Hand in hand before all others
and especially before themselves

Love is..(or isn't)

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition and foundational rhythm guitar

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

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth, and intro composition

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion 

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar solo in the verses

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass guitar
 
This song began with Artur composing the entire skeleton, and recording it against a mechanical beat. He presented it to Josh, who immediately shared it with The Eclectic Collective. Ken first replaced the metronomic beat with a real, rocking drum sound. Josh promptly added his fretless bass to it, to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, JJ added his electric piano magic, including a short solo, to the stew. Once the rhythmic framework was laid down, Stephen got to work on the choruses, coming up with solid, melodic lines for them. Then, it was Tez's turn to light up the verses with his monster guitar. When we had it mostly completed, Artur asked JJ if he'd do an intro to it. JJ came up with the whole psychedelic intro in response. 
  When it was finished, we asked Stephen if he would mix it for us, which he did with his typical mastery and attention to detail. We all really enjoy making music with Artur, and have been fans of and collaborators with him for almost a year now. If you like the sound of this song, you would do well to go check out his page, too, as he has a bunch of gems on there. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Before The Sakura Fall

This song is again recorded with my phone. (Next probably a DAW song!) Motörhead has a cover of "Johnny B. Goode", so I Iistened to the original from the 50s! Chuck Berry Rock ‘n Roll. The intro is great, there are more songs with similar intros. They are so cool that I wanted to learn them at the end of last year and did. In this song, I just use my version of it as the intro. I play it a little lower so it's appropriate for my song. The last chord of the intro is the 1st chord of my song, except I play it as a power chord instead of a major chord. Some of my intro version is pretty much like the original, some is my version. It's really fun to play with these Rock ’n Roll intros, I could do it for hours. In one of the covers of the songs with these intros, the one with Beethoven in the title, there's an orchestral version of Beethoven's famous symphony at the beginning. I wanted that too, but of course only on my guitar, so I made up a guitar version of it and put it in front of the Rock ‘n Roll intro. Only after that my own song begins. It's even more freely than my 1st song here. I know the chords and riffs and lyrics, but decide always when playing when to change the riff. So the recording is a way for me to learn to produce one special version and not play it differently each time. You will hear that it is played and sung very freely. So consider it as a song performance for friends, not really a well-structured and finished song. Furthermore, I play nearly everything as slides, so it is harder to play then it sounds. I wanted to play it a bit faster, but it was not possible, this is the fastest drum accompaniment my amplifier has, it doesn't go any faster. One the other hand, for some parts of the lyrics it would be really difficult to sing it any faster.
Since someone asked for the lyrics of my last song I provide it here:
Guitar Heros
Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix gave us all the great licks
Angus Young, so alive, plays day and night
Eternal guitar riffs sound so loud
Make Berry’s Rock’n’Roll proud

Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Eddie van Halen’s fire hand, Tony Iommi’s powerful band
And not forget all the women of Rock:
Lita Ford’s solos wild and bold
Joan Jett’s chords breaking the mold
From their style I find my own
Like from seeds they have sown
With their songs I find my way
Getting better every day
Discovering riffs old and new
Offers a lesson for me and you
For me and you, for me and you
