Little melody I did for my father for father's day. Also for all the fathers of the universe. Happy father's day!

In the Name of the Father

This is a song I wrote in an attempt to do a straight up old skool Soul song (in the style of Al Green, or Jacksoul's 'Still Believe In Love'). It's one of the few songs of my own where I wrote and sing the lyrics, in addition to doing all the music. 

But I also was very interested to hear how it could sound with the talents of the Eclectic Collective doing their own interpretation of the music, so after I completed this Soul version, they had at it, and in their typically innovative style, they came away with a totally new more upbeat remix version featuring some Caribbean influences. The one common thread between the two versions is the soulful guitar playing by TexMex Shaman, which seemed to fit both styles seamlessly. Thanks for listening, and hope you enjoy them!
(P.S. "Rex" in the lyrics is a sabre-toothed tiger)

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 
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 some 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

Up, that's what the beat does.
Up Up Upbeat...

Upbeat fun and Danceable. That’s what the beat does.
Fun fun fun fun and danceable.
  
Up beat. Up beat. Up beat fun fun fun fun and danceable. 

It’s made for the freaks. The acid peaks.

Aceed, Acid, Love that acid. The acid freaks.

Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi...
The acid freaks, the acid freaks, the acid freaks, the acid freaks...

Peak peak. Sneak a peek, peak the freak, acid, freak a sneaky leak peak on that acid bubble of trouble. It’s a rubble bubble.

The acid freaks.  Freak a  sneaky leak peek on that acid bubble of mystique.
It’s a rubble bubble, twisting high, blue and green it floods the sky.
Seen and climbing, reaching steep,
The acid peaks, where visions leap.
Trouble brews in colors bright,
A neon dream ignites the night.

Freak a sneaky leak peak on that acid bubble of trouble.

————————————
Acid acid, acid, love that acid.
Sneak a freaky sneak peak on that acid bubble of trouble. It's a rubble bubble.

Coming up coming up coming up coming up - reaching high.

The acid freaks, the acid freaks, the acid freaks... yeah... The acid freaks, the acid freaks, the acid freaks...

The acid peak the acid peak the acid peak....

Acid acid, acid, love that acid, peak peak, peak acid, sneak a peak, peek the freak, acid,  freak a sneaky leak peak on that acid bubble of trouble. Yeah...

It's a rumble rubble bubble.

As the acid peaks, as the acid peaks, as the acid peaks.

PEAK!

COLD STARS

Cold Stars [Extended Mix]

Hip Hop Monk

House

Some nights, the past doesn’t just whisper — it follows you down every street, reflects in every window, and sits quietly in the passenger seat. Out Here in the Neon is the sound of a heart that can’t let go, wrapped in soft synth tones and emotional honesty. It’s not about drama or noise — it’s about one man, his memories, and the silence that won’t leave him alone. This song isn’t trying to impress — it’s trying to say what he couldn’t say in time.

If you’ve ever stared at a name on your phone and hesitated, if you’ve ever driven just to feel something again — this one’s yours.

Lyrics
Out Here in the Neon

Out here travelling the streets at night
I have images of you as I drive
You’re always in my mind, memories that don’t fade away
Don’t want the memories, I want you, and I’m here to stay

I keep picking up my phone, wanting to call
Your number’s right there in front of me
No matter where I look, I see you
Everything takes me back to before, I can’t walk away
Out here in the neon, you're still in my mind
Wish I could put my life on rewind

Not moving forward, stuck in neutral
The stories we wrote now feel so old
Even so, I wish I could revive them, I feel so empty
Wish you were here and not just in my mind

I keep picking up my phone, wanting to call
Your number’s right there in front of me
No matter where I look, I see you
Everything takes me back to before, I can’t walk away
Out here in the neon, you're still in my mind
Wish I could put my life on rewind

I thought driving the streets under city lights would blind the past
But all it did was light it up, and there you were in the windscreen glass
Every reflection was loud and clear, reminding me of you
No matter what I do, all my visions are of you

I keep picking up my phone, wanting to call
Your number’s right there in front of me
No matter where I look, I see you
Everything takes me back to before, I can’t walk away
Out here in the neon, you're still in my mind
Wish I could put my life on rewind
Out here on the streets driving around, it is so clear
There is never going to be a day, that you will not be on my mind
Memories of you will never fade away
