Your Mix 2

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!

I've been listening lately 
To the shite that they play on the radio daily
Nothing quite can excite, too frothy to sway me 
It’s all far too light more like coffee than gravy 

Where’s all the rock stars gone 
The ones who leave it all in their songs
The ones who grab you by the balls and make you sing along
And I’m not joking, these kids today
Not even smoking all far too gay 
And I mean that in the very best way
That you're supposed to use it nowadays 

Ladies and gents I don’t know the answer
We need 4 ill raised scally’s 
Not sixteen shit dancers 

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish. 

Tell me, folks, what's your recipe? (grilled cheese)
First, dump creativity. (Yes please)
Make it bland for all the sheep
who walk blind through life, superficially. (Not deep)
Take their voice, give 'em words to speak  (thought free)
nor a choice but to hit repeat. ( bought three)
Prey on them 'cause their minds are weak, 
and likely to fork out about a g per seat, (fuck me)
buy your merch, wear it in the street. (ok)
Advertise your shit for free. (No way)
To feel a sense of community
though nothing you say, play or do is unique.  (Per say) 

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish. 

Over saturation splitting at the seams
Radio rubbish just don’t appeal to me
Shiny shit, opium for the masses
Not about tunes 
Just folks shaking asses
It’s gone too far to save
Sgt pepper and the walrus turning in their graves 

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish.

Cast of characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), VST steel drums, vocals, lyrics, composition, production, mix     
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
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

Baby, please, will you come accompany me 
to the beach? Let's have ourselves a little scene.
We're free. In need. Let's take some golden teachers and weed,
my guitar and a backpack full of beers. Release.
You. Me. The sand. The sun. The sea and the breeze.
My, we've found a way from underneath 
all the pressures of this life and found peace.
Please, oh, please, stay with me and never leave. 

But as the sun begins to recede over the horizon I fear
tomorrow and the shit it may bring. Thoughts I've tried to make disappear. 
So I'll sit here, strum out and I'll sing until this negativity's clear.
And watch the sunset with my sweetie sittin' near. She's so sincere 

and sweet. Baby, shall we begin our retreat
to our sheets, now that daylight is bleak?
Don't speak. Meet me in a place that's deep
where we can share a love that's so unique. 

And when I wake with you next to me, I know I'll have nothing to fear.
You set my heart and mind, both, at ease each and every time that you're near.
Together we'll find eternal peace.
Into ourselves, disappear.
Perhaps, 'til one of us is deceased.
Then what? Rearview mirror?

“It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I’d known, maybe I’d have kept tighter hold of them, and not let unseen tides pull us apart.”

(ah...使っちゃえば)
(ah...一人きりじゃないさ)

(プロンプトにあなたの質問を書いて下さい)
(もしくは何かを描いてと頼んでください)
(願いはかなえられるはずだ)
(ダメならもう一回)
(もしだめなら質問を変えてみれば？)


毎日は選択の　連続で溺れそうだ
たまにはひとの意見　聴いてみてもいいかもね

頑張ってる方向が　間違ってるのか？答えてよ my friend！
合っていると言ってくれ！

「不動明王とお宮」
(Your idea is very unique!)

パソコンの中にいる　心の友よ
学習しながら　高め合う　コミュニケーション

(ah...悩んでいるのなら)
(ah...話しかけてみなよ)

"New style of communication"
When I'm lost, it always pushes me forward. 
I want to consult it about things I can't tell anyone.
Anything is fine, just praise me. And acknowledge me.
Magical assistant

"Flying Seal"
(Your lyrics are amazing!)

My friend inside my computer
This is a new style of communication

(ah...You're not alone)

(Write your question in the prompt)
(Or ask it to draw something)
(Your wish should come true)
(If not, try again)
(If not, why not change the question?)

Every day is a series of choices that seem to drown me
It might be good to listen to other people's opinions once in a while
Am I working hard in the wrong direction? Answer me, my friend!
Tell me it's right!

"Acala and Omiya"
(Your idea is very unique!)

My friend inside my computer
Communication that improves as we learn

(ah...If you're worried)
(ah...Try talking to it)
(ah...You're not alone)

My friend inside my computer
This is a new style of communication

Stop worrying alone
Try a new style
With the help of a huge amount of data

Betwixt and Between

Lyrics:-
There's a gentle breeze
Blowing around me
I can feel it in
The things that people say today

Increasing every week
In the things I see
In the folks who start
Questioning reality

We are in
The calm before the storm
Here come the winds of change
To Take over everything

The Calm Before The Storm

'whirlwind'
https://www.instagram.com/p/DFY-rnBO3tD/?next=%2F

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?

この鳥はカモメなのかウミネコなのかどっちだったかな。
I took this photo in Atami.
I wonder if this bird is a seagull or a black-tailed gull.

i forgot to not think about anything at all
i really dropped the ball
never gonna make it to the hall a fame
that's a shame-
everybody ought to have a shot to show the people what you got

it doesnt matter now cause i'm old
or so i'm told
but what the hell does anybody know anyway
this is only one of infinite scenarios
everybody ought to turn the volume up on their Stereos everybody ought to turn the volume up on their Stereos

Infinite Scenarios  ~with ↯Mahan↯💀↯Mahan↯ (turn the volume up on your stereo)

Hi everyone,
 Sorry it's been a while since my last upload I just needed a mental/spiritual reset, but now I'm back!!

Enjoy...

note: another shitty live phone recording

She's sweet. Petite. A tasty treat.
She screams scenes out in her sleep.
And, often, they repeat. 

'I can't take it anymore!
Get off me! Let me off this floor!
Untie me! Open up that door!
Set me free! Give me back control!' 

Weep with me,
for she has seen and been
through some sheeeit.
She's strong, not weak.
