This is a song started when Mark came up with its architecture, recorded in a  slower, more laid back version on his own. However, he wanted a more souped up version with solos in turns. So, he turned to The Eclectic Collective to fill in the pieces. He originally had solos in all the parts which he laid down on the keys, and he had some lyrics, too. However, once he heard The Mysterious Decibel's excellent lyrics and vocals, the song totally changed the direction and the vibe, for the stellar. 
  But MD didn't start the whole thing. As happens sometimes, even without Tez on this one, we still needed to clear out some space to let everyone have their say. So, Mark went in and lengthened the song mechanically. Once we had a final form, Ken, as always, came up with the foundation for the song, allowing Josh to add his version of Mark's bass line. Then, after MD gave us the vocals to form the song, we got down to adding the solos. JJ first added his thrilling opening piano solo, as well as the electric piano solo right after the first verse, which Mark is also playing a VST sax solo in, as well. Then I added my guitar solo, which is the first of the two, with a very clean tone. Right after that, Stephen added his fiery solo, which follows right after with a more overdriven tone. Finally, Mark stepped back in and added his killer harp solo at the end. Of course, it needed to be mixed and mastered well, too, so we turned to both Mark and Stephen for those important roles, once again, which they fulfilled expertly.  
  This past Tuesday, we released a fun little series of interviews over a compilation of some of our favorite musical moments. If you want to hear our voices and some of our thoughts about music, check it out. I realize it's a big ask at twenty minutes, but you might really enjoy it, especially if you follow us, and have been for a while. It's a celebration of all of our work over the past almost year together in various forms. This song was supposed to be a showcase of all of our skills, except Tez isn't in on this one. He'll be on the next one, though, for sure.
  We hope you enjoy this jazzier side of the EC as much as we enjoyed making it. MD's lyrics are about a psycho killer artist who hides clues about his murders in his paintings. 
Original Lyrics by The Mysterious Decibel:

Some might say he's crafty and planned.

With a shade of black and a brush in his hand
Some might say the world is his oyster
But no Pearl lays inside just a conjuring blur

He'll paint you a murderous scene
With the blending of  sin all between pigments of green
He's a shady fella Who hides behind the canvas!
I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

Will you find it?
The secret
Some freak shit
are you so sure you'll really wanna Keep it ?
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
Ahhh a little secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
It'll haunt your mind like it does him too
He's a swifty one he'll come for you!
The secret
The secret
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?

I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

His art might show
might show
might show
just where he died

Queen Of Hearts

I could open any door
But I don't feel it anymore
There's an aching in my tooth
I've got nothing left to prove to you

CHORUS
Picturecards and poems are all in life I ever asked
Sitting under moonlight
You felts my hands removed my mask

I will greet you with a smile
You should really run a mile or two
There's a treat behind each door
Am I really such a draw to you?

CHORUS
Picturecards and poems are all in life I ever asked
Sitting under moonlight
You felts my hands removed my mask
Stripping down my layers is surely a demanding task
If you've a spare moment come feel my hands, remove my mask

I could open any door
There's an aching in my brain
All the years have left a stain I guess

BAD PORTAL NO GOOD

Here's Where Your Story Begins

A cover of the Tears for Fears song off their album of 1985: Songs From the Big Chair. A huge worldwide hit, the song reached #1 in Canada and New Zealand, and #2 in Australia, and the UK. Wiki info is that the song was written by Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley and Chris Hughes, and produced by Hughes. Curt Smith sings lead vox. Song is in G, but don't try to work it out from the original album because I believe they sped up the tape so it would play slightly faster (sounding better) but making life hard for covering it. A nice relatively recent live version is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGPFmBbnsNM. 
It's a nice challenge to try to cover these synthpop masterpieces with basic equipment. I had some help. Lead vox Karaoke; backups moi, and all instruments, programming, production. (I use an old version of Nuendo, plus assorted programs and plugins.) 
I extended the second guitar solo at the end. The chord changes there are cool and the key is guitar-friendly!

Everybody wants to rule the world (by Tears for Fears)

I like Soundcloud because it's a friendly community for sharing our music. When I like your music, I say how it affected me, maybe something about how you wrote, performed or produced it. I have musically diverse interests: pop/rock songs, jazz-rock fusion/prog instrumentals; acoustic guitar. Main instrument is guitar, I'm not a keyboard player or singer, but hopefully I can do enough there to make my work sound ok.
