I'm Casting Spells

You woke yourself today with a sadistic glow 
With the cruelest of intentions that nobody can know 
When the lights go out, the dirty deeds will commence 
And the fight for survival will begin again 

Bring your torch, set the fire 
All the lies you’ve conspired 
No way back from the choice that you made 
I’ve seen what you are 
You can hide it no more 
All I want is to survive the day 

Gave me some false hope in the dark 
But I still know what you are 
And now I can’t forget the harm
The bloody mess that you’ve caused 
You sucked the blood from me 
And tried to watch me drown 
In a cave, we’ll decay
There’s no good to be found 

The glowworm, it squirmed 
And then I watched it turn
And then I watched it turn…

  Well folks, it's that time of year again. It's time for the Eclectic Collective to take stock of the fruits of the year previous, and reflect on what making music together means to all of us. We hope you all take a chunk of time and indulge in our gift to you. We wanted to address every one of our SoundCloud friends with our voices as an intimate way to connect with each of you.
  This has become a tradition within the EC now that we've made it to our second (and a half) year of making music together. For the second time, JJ asked our friend and sometimes collaborator Jeff (Stonerjazz) to ask some interview questions of us. Then, we all came up with the answers and sent them to JJ to assemble the project.
  This mighty music machine we've created, that manages to release a new song every Friday, wouldn't mean anything if no one was listening to us. Which is why we want to extend our very sincere thanks to you for tuning in and supporting our efforts. If one other person gets joy from our music, that's such a huge accomplishment. However, it really feels like a bunch of people whom we really respect are digging what we're doing, which feels truly humbling and fulfilling. 
  With that, we hope you enjoy hearing us voice our thoughts over the highlights of our musical year as much as we enjoyed a year rich in music and comradery. Happy New Year!

The 2024 Eclectic Collective Rockumentary

A bizarre prog-punk-psych-blues groove fest. Mad time signatures, a bit of dropped D, idiosyncratic vocals. 

Die in Hospital

Sur une musique de Christian Devienne, merci à lui. 

Ça fait déjà quelques années
Qu’ils préparaient son arrivée
Disant le tout et son contraire
Avec des mots très ordinaires
Prêts à tous les excès pour plaire

Charmant des esprits engourdis
par le malheur et par l’envie
De mensonges en raccourcis
La bête a fabriqué son nid

S’imaginant fille d’un dieu
Pas vraiment miséricordieux
Elle n’a plus à se confesser
Puisque le mal n’est plus péché
C’est tellement pratique pour rester

Lorsque sur des tombes encore fraîches
De morts qui sont encore pleurés
La bête prévoit d’édifier
Des Disneyland et des palais

N’importe où, qui que vous soyez
Même silencieux et caché
Louvoyant la tête baissée
Lorsque votre numéro est tiré
Ses sicaires sauront vous trouver
Pour vous pendre ou vous enrôler

Quand la raison meurt sous le fer
Le pire qu’on croyait révolu
Laboure des terres inconnues
Plus brûlantes et noires que l’enfer

Mais si la bête toujours renaît
Le meilleur aussi apparaît
Si d’autres monstres ont paradé
Ils ont tous fini par tomber

Eclectic Collective -- composition

This song started its life as one of a batch of bass lines Josh came up with around the New Year holiday. He recorded it to a rudimentary drum loop, which Ken replaced perfectly with his own beat. Stephen was up after Ken, adding his tasteful, foundational guitar you hear underlying the entire song. Not to miss out on the guitaring, Tez came up with the ethereal guitar fills that float around in there. Mark came after Tez with his textural wah clavinet, also adding the wonderful sax solo you hear in the middle. After it was done musically, Josh went back and wrote some lyrics and sang them, too.
  Once it was in the can, we asked Tez to do the honors of mixing it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This is a fine example of the Eclectic Collective coming together to create a heartfelt song, based on a bass line seed.  We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Sometimes I think about 
Things we used to talk about
Now I have to go without
Ever looking at your face x2
 
But I want you near me
Wish that you could hear me

What if we could ever reach
Out to the other each
But what would we say?
Is it just another routine day? x2
  
It makes my heart hurt bad
When I think of what I had
Now you’ve slipped away
Seems I saw you just the other day
 
Life can be really cruel
And I can be a fool
But I wish there were a way
I could hear what you would say
