down like that
now that we have arrived
make it louder yeah
the sound can’t be denied

stick around in fact
see it’s about that time
we get down like that
down like that for life

——

if you wanna know where I’m at
it is nowhere on the map
let’s go there in fact
and don’t dare look back
you old scaredy-cats
y’all could barely act
or keep it real you’re wack
not to be mean but yeah
moving along cheap laughs
just go and share this track
that lil arrow shaped button
you know where it’s at
where there are layers stacked
so much data to crunch
no lunch breaks just snacks
straight up putting in that work
ain’t cutting no slack
ain’t punching no clocks
time and space collapse
I’m compelled to create
make first contact
do something that has
lasting impact
on a cosmic scale
universal raps
with the rhythm and the rhyming
keep it right and exact
top tier hip hop
calculate all the stats
it’s that LOU OSIAVO
bring it on back
you can feel it when it drops
and it lands with a crash
and I fear it won’t stop
we have started on a path
of destruction 
to tear down the status quo
wrath of the people 
let loose on the planet yo
patchwork of equals
who’ve reached understanding so
stand up we see you
now mash it up back and forth
make them hands them a clap
and them fingers a snap
and them toes get to tapping
down like that

——

down like that
now that we have arrived
make it louder yeah
the sound can’t be denied

stick around in fact
see it’s about that time
we get down like that
down like that for life

——

if you’re feeling me where I’m at
lemme hear you say down like that
exactly like this
the same sounds to match
to each track that’s mixed
sold out crowds react
choreographed and crisp
the sheer amount of practice
and discipline
synapses might snap
if one might even begin
to attempt to imagine
what we’re about to bring in
to being it is the magic
of art and science within
but okay enough with that
like c’mon who’m I kidding
already had them cheap laughs
but now it’s getting rich
should I just try to spit these raps
for entertainment purposes
only hell nah never that
I’m up in here to do this
ain’t even no need to ask
then again what was the question
see I wouldn’t put it past
myself as my own harshest critic
to be the one behind the mask
but with no memory of it
and yet still be up to the task
although doing it for the kicks
as well as snares and hi hats
doing it for the entire kit
instrumentals on smash
IPG1 did it
go turn it up to full blast
in fact there ain’t no limit
make the good times last
beyond the infinite
eternal intact
mind body and spirit
combined in the lab
living life with the lyrics
through the gift of gab
shout out - Blackalicious
getting down like that
keep it real no gimmicks

J’ai pas voulu entendre depuis le fond de moi
J’ai pas voulu comprendre ce p’tit “je ne sais quoi”
J’ai pas voulu attendre qu’il gagne au fond de moi 
J’ai pas voulu l’ entendre, j’ai pas voulu l’recevoir.

Bébé du fond de moi, j’ai pas voulu l’recevoir 
J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ai pas voulu l’ recevoir 
Tu sais qu’au fond de moi, j’ai pas voulu l’recevoir
J’ai pas voulu comprendre, j’ai pas voulu recevoir 

J’ai pas voulu d un présent que j’n’méritais pas
Même si t’étais un ange tombé des cieux pour moi
D une autre histoire qui tomberait à l’eau. De là
J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ai pas voulu recevoir

J’ai pas voulu entendre, j ai pas voulu recevoir 

J’ai pas voulu l’entendre depuis le fond de moi
J’ai pas voulu comprendre ce p’tit “je ne sais quoi”
J’ai pas voulu l’attendre 
J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ai pas voulu recevoir.

J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ai pas voulu recevoir 

J’ai pas voulu mais mes deux bras s’ouvraient déjà 
Mon coeur battait si fort, mes yeux ne voyaient pas 
Que si l’esprit résiste, je m’envolais déjà 
J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ ai pas voulu recevoir 

Je n’ai jamais voulu voir
Que parmi mes fêlures, 
Ta lumière passait déjà…..


                                  I didn’t want 

I didn't want to hear from deep inside me 
I didn’t want to understand this little “I don’t know what” 
I didn't want to wait for him to win inside me 
I didn't want to hear it, I didn't want to receive it

Baby deep inside me, I didn't want to receive it 
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive it
You know that deep down, I didn't want to receive it 
I didn't want to understand, I didn't want to receive 

I didn't want a present that I didn't deserve 
Even if you were an angel fallen from heaven for me 
Another story that would fall apart. From this 
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive 
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive 

I didn't want to hear it from deep inside me 
I didn’t want to understand this little “I don’t know what” 
I didn't want to wait for it
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive 

I didn't want to but my two arms were already opening 
my heart was beating so hard, my eyes couldn't see 
That if the spirit resists, I was already flying away 
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive 

I never wanted to see 
That among my cracks, 
your light was already shining…..

Lyrics:

Something is happening, nature unbalancing
Got to do something before it’s too late
There’s nothing that can be done to stop it, can we
All just do something and start a clean slate
The wonders we’re handling spirits are channeling
Ghosts of the past are still here today
Nothing can ever be destroyed completely
It manifests itself in some other way

Now tomorrow comes, it’s already here
Can you hear it calling?  The future is near

There will come a day where you will have to say
The things that no one would ever want to say
Nothing is guaranteed in life, not your safety
Or your happiness, or even dismay
Reach out and grab it, the life, you can have it
Don’t just sit around wasting another day
Find it in yourself to get off of the shelf
The life that you need, there is no other way

Now and for always, you are what you’re meant to be
And in this moment you are one little thing in everything

Debts are encroaching and death is approaching
The end is nearer every day that you live
But don’t let it scare you, or even impair you
In living and giving all that you can give
There’s no time like right now, and maybe somehow
We can all just do something before it’s too late
We should all be reaching for what we are preaching
And maybe some day we will control our fate

One Little Thing In Everything

When I sent Mike Fox the acoustic track never did I think in my wildest dreams that he would produce such a mix  of sounds.
The brief was a modern pop track in the realm of Louis Capaldi / Ed Sheeran that sort of thing.
And what I got was an amazing piece of nostalgia 70s Chic  v 80s club which I actually bloody loved.
Just shows that it’s best to trust the process and let these outstanding musicians/producers do their thing . 
It’s such fun collaborating with different people and listening to their different take on things.
Mike is an excellent songwriter himself and you can always pick the earworm in his work.
Big thanks to Mike he was a pleasure to work with and a real gentleman.
I hope you enjoy it guys as much as we did making it.


Give each other up 

V1 
Your love for me is out of practice 
We got somewhere lost in all the traffic 
Im getting prickly now in the hustle 
Im sorry if I ever caused you trouble 

Chorus  
We  can fail at what we hate 
And we can fail at what we love
But doesn’t mean we should give each other up


V2
Why don’t we never seem to make it to desert
Your the sweetest thing  i don’t deserve 
I always new how to make things better 
Now I’m just that storm in your weather 

Finish on a double Chorus

Give Each Other Up ~ Fox & Brownie

Cast of characters:
RIch O'Brien--  @rich-obrien  -- composition, intro guitar solo
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman  –Stephen– third guitar solo  
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell  -- Clave and organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3 , @k2-kara –Ken–drums, production, and mix
Llanpsych– @llanpsych  –Tez–final guitar solo
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four-string fretless bass and second guitar solo
This song started as a full composition on all instruments by Rich. He asked Josh if he'd be interested in a collaboration with it. Josh jumped at the chance to share it with the Eclectic Collective. So, he invited the gang to join in, replacing most of the original instrumentation, and adding some new. After Ken had added his driving, foundational drums, Josh added his bass to match. JJ soon after cranked up the funk-o-meter by adding his clave and screaming organ. Then, Josh added a guitar solo, which comes in right after Rich's intro. Stephen was up next with his badass licks in the third solo. Then Tez got a hold of it, and ripped a hole in the ether with his guitar in the last solo.

Ken was generous enough to produce and mix this for us. And what an outstanding job he did, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

"Take The Black" is an epic cinematic symphonic folk metal song that has been inspired from fantasy role play games and medieval music. The pyromancer is back and brought his shady friends. Let's assemble, take the black and bring down a bloodthirsty tyrant! 
After writing "Pyromancer" in 2021, we wanted to create some epic battle music. Everything started with an arpeggio on my acoustic guitar, when I suddenly had the idea to try something with bagpipes. Jordan's comment about medieval villagers wielding forks and shields against a tyrant has been a great lyrical prompt, so we continued on that. The arrangement grew bigger, and bigger, and soon we had to summon the whole band.

==== LYRICS ====

High above the castle walls
Lives a tyrant drenched in blood
Drop by drop, we share our strength
Til this trickle is a flood

Cut by cut he bleeds us
Til we are drained and dry
But tonight I'll lead us
Our swords and knives held high

Gathering our strength now
Together we are one
In the black we'll do our work
Until the deed is done

Fighting back for what is ours
Fighting for our lives
In the black we'll find it
In the black we'll thrive

The blackness is where strength takes hold
It's time to save our souls

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let us steal the night away
And stay hidden for the day

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let's assemble and attack
Take the black, I'll take the black!

(Take the black)
(Take the black)
(Take the, take the black)
(I'll take the black!)

We'll take the hills
We'll take the land 
We'll take his life with our bare hands
We'll take the night
We'll take the day
We'll take the black, take it away

We've given all that we can give
We cannot let this evil live
So we will take a life tonight
We'll take the black, we'll take what's right!

The blackness is where truth unfolds
It is time to save our souls

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let us steal the night away
And stay hidden for the day

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let's assemble and attack
Take the black, I'll take the black!

(Take the black)
(Take the black)
(Take the, take the black)
(I'll take the black!)

We are brothers in arms
raise swords, prepare spells and charms
Let truth and virtues reign
Our fight won't be in vain
Prepare! Behead the king!

The blackness comes to take our toll
We've sacrificed our souls

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let us steal the night away
And stay hidden for the day

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let's assemble and attack
Take the black, I'll take the black!

(Take the black)
(Take the black)
(Take the, take the black)
(I'll take the black!)

Take The Black

Rydwan Ezechiela / Ezekiel's chariot

A sentimental country-ish ballad with a big sad finish.
Dedicated to anyone suffering from memory loss. Thanks for listening.
Lyrics:
I can still remember
Felicia in December
Outside in the cold
Smoking Swisher Sweet Cigarettes
But she would always forget
If you're gonna inhale that shit
You know she always got sick
She'd chewed down the tip

It's like I told you on the phone
My mind is not all my own
All my memories are dissolving
Our nights in Arroyo Park
Out feeling that spark
That Datsun that would never start
My bad Cure haircut (disaster!)
My heart was beating faster
A sketch of a love scene
Painted behind
A gothic old master

I was selfish with my time
And now I seem to lead my life
Conducting orchestras in my mind
Oh, I don't know how this sounds
But sometimes I listen to the ground
To hear and feel the rumblings
I think that you're coming around

All my memories are dissolving
Soon, I'll have no memories of this world
I'll have no memories of this world
So let's go out tonight
And shoot out the lights!
Let's break our hearts tonight
I'll have no memories of this world

I wanted to drop you this line
To thank you for the time
And thank you for being in my life
Thank you for being my life

Let's Break Our Hearts Tonight

Composition and Sampling collage by Synline
This song is scheduled to be included in the new album 'Portraits'.

Give Me A Reason

3 Miles.

A song about a narcissist who is oblivious to those around him.
Lyrics:
Punctured with your needles and tubes
Inside your hotel room
Life is like a cyst
Or an open wound
Waiting to exhume
I've never been emotionally deep
I think that's why I'm still alive

We met over drinks
And our shared emotional baggage
Minor characters
We'd lost the plot
At first thought
It's all the damage that I brought
Sitting next to you
Clearing my head
Outside your abstract sick bed

I always seem to get my way
You know that's the way this boy was raised
I've learned everything from American movies
The way that I talk
The way that it rots
The way I walk
With feelings twice removed
Inside your hospital room
Abstract sick bed

(Abstract) Sick Bed

A song about a guy I know

lyrics:

The biggest and baddest of the scumbag namesake
He’s snorting tons of crack cocaine that is probably fake
A wife beater bullet proof vest to protect his fragile pride
A class act hell bent on suicide 

Cocaine  Charlie smokin’ way too much
Cocaine  Charlie stone cold to the touch
Always holding a grudge
Trying to play executioner, jury and judge

Pot’s for losers and meth’s for junkies, so coke’s just right for him
Walk on down his alley way and he’ll tear you limb from limb
There is no one that can stop him except his kryptonite
Marijuana Jonny’s down for the fight

Cocaine Charlie just wants to unwind
Cocaine Charlie sneakin’ up from behind
You’ve got no place to hide
Manning the front to protect his Frankenstein Bride

I wonder how he pays the rent
Cocaine Charlie’s at it again
You know it’s not an accident
That his nose has a huge dent

The only saving grace is his Dad’s inheritance 
You’ll see him on the street trying to trade it in for friends
But there will be no friends to hang out with this time
Cocaine Charlie’s crossed the line

Cocaine Charlie slammin’ lines and beer
Cocaine Charlie thinks that you’re a queer
Don’t you interfere
He’ll beat you with a tire iron if you get near

Cocaine Charlie watching 2 girls 1 cup
Cocaine Charlie can’t get his dick up
Don’t you interrupt
Jerking his thing and he’s just about to erupt

Cocaine Charlie withering to the bone
Cocaine Charlie needs another drug lone
Cocaine Charlie, get the fuck off of this street

Cocaine Charlie
