All Shook Up Elvis Presley cover

Dear student, it baffles me that I must say,
I'm not your parent in any way.
I won't nudge you at the crack of dawn,
Choosing classes? That’s on you, come on!
Act your age, step up to the plate,
I'm just here to educate.

I’m not your mother,
I’m not your father,
I’m not your friend.
I'm not your clerk,
Stand up, show up, do the work.

Dear student, hear me loud and clear,
I'm not your babysitter, dear.
Party all night? That’s your call,
Homework done? Not my problem at all.
Exams looming? You better prepare,
Your future boss will know if you cared.

I’m not your mother,
I’m not your father,
I’m not your friend.
I'm not your clerk,
Stand up, show up, do the work.

Dear student, let's get it straight,
I'm not your secretary, not here to wait.
Won't fill your forms, nor google your stuff,
Reading the syllabus isn't that tough.
Being an adult isn’t just a phrase,
It's your ticket through this maze.

I’m not your mother,
I’m not your father,
I’m not your friend.
I'm not your clerk,
Stand up, show up, do the work.

Dear student, it's clear I must convey,
I’m not your hire, not in any way.
I do care, yet you must stand strong,
Your life, your choice, right or wrong.

"I'm Not Your" is an open musical letter from educators to their students, laying down the boundaries of their roles and reinforcing the message of personal responsibility and maturity expected in academic settings. Through candid lyrics, this song addresses common misconceptions students may have about the duties of their teachers, emphasizing that learning, effort, and personal accountability are essential for success both in school and beyond.

This anthem is a reminder to students everywhere that while educators are there to guide, instruct, and support, they are not caretakers of every aspect of a student's life. The song encourages students to take ownership of their educational journey, to engage actively, and to embrace the responsibilities that come with adulthood.

I'm Not Your

Coffee rivers, midnight dreams, we’re on the hunt,
Code warriors in a digital front.
Silent errors, hiding in the mesh,
A quest for clean runs, a never-ending test.

Hey, hey! Bugs in the machine,
Chaos lurks, still unseen.
Fixing lines where we tread,
Bugs at every step, we're trapped instead.

Towers of papers, fortresses of thought,
Quest for truth, with gaps fraught.
Each theory spun, reveals a gap so deep,
A cycle of discovery, no rest, no sleep.

Hey, hey! Bugs in the machine,
Chaos lurks, still unseen.
Fixing lines where we tread,
Bugs at every step, we're trapped instead.

Patch by patch, against the clock,
Bugs are the bedrock on which we walk.
In disorder, we find our way,
Unraveling mysteries, day by day.

Bugs In The Machine

In the grip of empty pages, the ink is dry,
Pens scratch out a tale where ambitions lie.
Clocks tick on in mocking tones, empty echoes fill my bones,
Chained to desks in silent rows, where the stifled spirit goes.

Caught in the drafts and the doldrums,
Fighting through the fog and the fears.
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum,
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels.

Walls close in with each critique and each command,
Ideas die unborn in the barren no-man's land.
Feedback loops spin minds caught in a tight vise,
Promises break like glass, dreams deferred, paying the price.

Spinning wheels, burning out,
Voices raise, begin to doubt.
Break the cycle, crack the code,
Burst the bounds, hit the road.

Caught in the drafts and the doldrums,
Fighting through the fog and the fears.
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum,
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels.

Shadowed halls echo with the whispers of the lost,
Dreams calcify in corners, frosted with the cost.
Silent sentinels stand guard, over ideas once free,
Locked away in ivory towers, thrown away the key.

Spinning wheels, burning out,
Voices raise, begin to doubt.
Break the cycle, crack the code,
Burst the bounds, hit the road.

Caught in the drafts and the doldrums,
Fighting through the fog and the fears.
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum,
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels.

In the drafts and the doldrums,
Fighting through the fog and the fears.
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum,
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels.

Caught in the drafts and the doldrums,
Fighting through the fog and the fears.
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum,
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels.

"Drafts and Doldrums" takes you on a lyrical journey through the inner turmoil of creative and intellectual blockages. With each verse, the song paints a vivid picture of the struggle against the inertia of the empty page and the stifling silence of unfulfilled potential. Through haunting melodies and resonant words, the song explores the emotional landscape of anyone who has ever felt caught in the cyclical trap of drafts and doldrums—where efforts seem futile and inspiration feels just out of reach. It’s a musical exploration of the fight through the fog of doubt and the weight of unrealized ideas.

Drafts And Doldrums

Stranger in the Night

Vinyl lovers

Shadow Wears the Crown (Remastered)

velvet mirage

[Tartan skies the stars they blink 
Echoes rise the pints they clink
 Feet stomp hard on wooden floor
 Feel the earth shake hear the roar  
 Bagpipes wail the crowd ignites 
Accordion sparks the fiery nights 
Drums pound deep like thunder's call In this chaos we give it all 
Setting the stage alight tonight Hearts on fire spirits take flight 
The crowd screams and dances wild In the music's arms we're beguiled  

Setting  the stage alight

This song began with Steve, who wrote it on his guitar and sang it, before sharing it with Eclectic Collective about half a year ago, back in the fall. Always grateful to Steve for sharing his amazing music with us, we kept it alive even though it had stalled out on us for whatever reason. 
  We had a decent skeleton from our original go at it, but decided to scrap it, and start fresh. Ken, being the one who actually revived it, added his solid drums first, providing for a groovy foundation. Tez came next, surprisingly, adding his hooky guitar fills throughout. Mark hopped on shortly after, adding the organ you hear coming in around the 2:00 mark. Josh took his turn after that, even though it was only a couple of days between, by adding his fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. He also, in the same recording session, added the electric piano you hear throughout, as well as the organ in the first half. 
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to mix it for us, in his always professional manner. 
  We all love working on Steve's songs, and admire him as a musician, singer, and songwriter. This makes almost a half dozen songs on which the EC has collaborated with Steve, and we're sure to add many more. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
