Great combination of thick synth lead, guitars, drums!

This is great stuff - really like the vocal effects and harmonies!

Really liking the feel of this piece! Great picture as well... you really captured the essence of time plodding on...

The synths are reminiscent of "A Clockwork Orange" to me - great piece!!!

A hidden gem ... beautiful lyrics and very interesting vocal treatment, Mike

A HUGE amount of gratitude for all the support, re-posts, likes, and comments.
This means the world to me. 
Another track from my album coming soon.

Lyrics:
Here I am again
Heart in hand my friend
And don’t how it got this bad
And I don’t know when 
I’ll ever understand
Maybe never 
Maybe now I’ll see myself
And all that I’ve become

Is it me out there
Seeming not to care
I’ll go on with my life
But the fairy tale,
It lets me down every time
Right before my eyes,  
He keeps me warm, 
A kiss upon my cheek
He gives me love,  
He gives me honesty,  yeah

I flow with you,  
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we make our peace
Let me flow with you,  
And you’ll flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
But it’s so hard to feel  
so hard to feel

He gives me love 
And a kiss upon my cheek

And I flow with you 
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we'll make our peace
Yeah I flow with you  
And you can flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
We still believe, oh yeah

He gives me love  
he gives me honesty
He gives me love,  
He gives me everything, yes he does
He keeps me warm

Hate It Or Love It (Insturmental)

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass, and Roland organ
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production

This song began when Joe, feeling a bit nostalgic, wrote the lyrics and composed it on his acoustic guitar. He recorded it and sang it with expert harmonies, then decided to share it with Eclectic Collective. We were all very excited to get work on our second song with Joe, as we all admire his songwriting.
First up was Tez this time, oddly enough. He was able to identify all the fill spots and light up the solo without the rest of us even adding anything yet. Next came Ken, who usually goes first, adding his steady grooving drums and tasty percussion. Once the drums were down, Josh completed the rhythm section by adding his fretted bass. He also worked out an organ part to give the whole sound a bit of thickness. Also adding some thickness and texture, Stephen added a clean electric rhythm part, as well.
Once we had it in can we asked Stephen to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion.
This, as mentioned, is Eclectic Collective's second song with Joe, and we all enjoyed bringing it to life with him. He's a wonderful collaborator and an all around good dude. Do yourself a favor and go check out his page, which is rich in great songs. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino:

If you find yourself in trouble and you think you've lost your way.
Here's hoping that you find a path to a better day.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope you find all the answers to all those questions vexing you.
I hope you can find a way not to bite off more than you can chew.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality
All those places that you said that you wanted to see.
I hope they're as good as you expected them to be.
I want you to know that you hold a special place in my heart.
I think about you often even though we are apart.
They say that when you love somebody sometimes you gotta be willing to let them go.
You gotta let them spread their wings and fly wherever the wind decides to blow.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope that you're happy. I hope that you're doing well. I sure hope that you're doing swell.You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality

Hope That You Are Happy (Eclectic Collective with Joe Stroffolino)

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND ME
YOU MUST EAT MY PAIN
YOU MUST GET INSIDE MY HEAD
YOU MUST KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO WRESTLE WITH ETERNAL SHAME
>
I WILL EXPOSE YOU TO A LIFE UNKIND
WHERE YOU WILL GET TO DIE ONE THOUSAND TIMES
MY SUFFERING WAS MEANT FOR YOU
COME SHARE THE PAIN I’M GOING THROUGH
>
EAT MY PAIN
>
THIS WAS NEVER OF MY CHOOSIN’
YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF
ACCUSING ME OF LOVING YOU
SEEMS I NEVER MET YOUR CRAVING FOR ABUSE
>
BUT NOW YOU’VE OPENED MY EYES
DEVELOPED THE SKILL TO FULFILL YOUR NEEDSSO NOW 
SO NOW I OFFER PAIN
THE PAIN YOU’VE ALWAYS CRAVED
>
DON’T BE AFRAID, 
TAKE ANOTHER BITE
ACCEPT THIS LOADED INVITE
SATE YOUR APPETITE
STEP INSIDE MY TORTURED MIND
ENJOY THE FEAR  IN WHAT YOU FIND
THIS IS THE LAST TIME THAT I LET YOU CLIMB INSIDE
YOU’LL DISAPPEAR WHEN I LEAVE YOU FAR BEHIND

EAT MY PAIN

Lyrics:
You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

What you’re giving, only some of
What I want to take
Take it all for myself
Life turns on a dime

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

You out in summer air
Prowling in my garden
Turn my back, you run away
Don’t know what you’ll encounter

You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Life can turn on a dime
Turn on a dime
Life can turn on a dime

Blooms In Full Flourish

This track is the lead track from my 8th Ep CHEMICAL. 123 BPM. 3m40s. The genres are Big beat / Electronic rock / Breakbeat. The most relevant genre is Big beat. The moods are Energetic / Intense / Aggressive. The style is Beat music. Everything by myself. Heavily influenced by 90s UK Dance music. The similar artists are The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. The intense and aggressive chorus part is a highlight (The impressive sound effects in the chorus part are made from my voice). The beat and Lo-fi Hip hop piano are also unique features of this track. This is energetic and aggressive, so this is for rock audiences, suitable for outdoor and loud. CHEMICAL Link in Bio!

DEAD SYMPHONY

The lyrics speak to how I feel about getting old:

Time keeps tickin' like this song
Lines on my face gettin' long
Change keeps messin' with my mind
Makes, makes my wonder what is mine
Trying to be stronger
Hold a little longer
Ain't no blues blue enough for me

How did life fly on by
What I've not done makes me sigh
So many things I should change
Wake up each day just the same
Once I felt stronger
Wonder how much longer
Ain't no blues blue enough for me
