This feels like a well crafted, tasteful jam. Also funny how it sounds so different from when I first heard it on Friday. Guess I was in a different headspace then. terrific stuff! sounds better with repeated listens, and I love how we can hear all the interesting stuff each instrument is doing - and there's a lot of subtlety happening! Love Mark's cool running bassline here. Hope he posts this so I can tell him!

Awesome track collab and production guys…sounds like I’m jamming to a live band!!!🎵💚🎶

Lovely laidback jam dudes, you guys have a flow together, I like it!

Stephen, thank you for taking the time to work on this.  The prod and mix is second to none!

"Nuff Said" challenges our inner demons. Don't let them drag you down, cause you deserve better. Starting with a catchy riff, we bring you back to good old 2000s nu metal and spiced it up with modern elements. I wrote the instrumental and the hook, Brett Anthony did the rap part and Ampersandman contributed his guitar and bass work to raise the roof. This is to all people who deal with a tough situation and enjoy heavier tones. 
Thanks a lot for the collab!

==== LYRICS ====

Get up, get up
I think I said enough, had enough
Half way through to you
but your head's still filling up

with the lies inside your eyes
that take me by surprise
So I keep my thoughts inside
and I try to spare your life

But I'm one step closer from it
finally being over
Vocally drained, insane
Still seeking closure

I'm a mad man, damaged plan
just can't understand
Out my cage, in a rage
confused and dazed

The hate began on a long lost road
Where is where I think I sold my soul
To the edge I place my toes
As my mind spins out control

Don't you know that it's payback
One last attack, I'm back on track
Flow through the aftermath
because nothing's coming after that

Nuff said,
time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)
But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)

Tik tock tick
the clock it won't stop
It's time to forget
the tears and blood I dropped

It came to this
in case you didn't know
I fill my mind with gasoline
and set fire to this soul

Explode out
this shell and through this hell
No doubt
this curse is one big spell
Sold out
Death is what we sell
And life can only tell
Though the silent screams we yell

I've been knocked down, stomped on
Felt like giving up
Dragged around, tossed to the ground
Not knowing to get up

Messed around and lost my crown
Tested all my luck
Lost and found, stood my ground
Fought all these things I thought were tough

Nuff said
Time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, I keep turning the tide)
But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to)

Nuff said
Still need another fallback
To backstab
And make your head crack
No need no respect
(Leave and don't return again)

Nuff said
Don't wanna talk
You fucking bonehead,
I'm gonna make your head crack
No need to check back
Leave and don't return again

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, but I keep turning the tide)

But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
I got, I got nothing to say

Nuff Said

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-organ



This song is the first The Eclectic Collective has done with Mark, and we all had a great time making it with him. This song started with Mark, who is a bass player's bass player, giving his raw bass track to Ken, who brought it to the group. Ken laid down his exciting drums to match Mark's bass line before anything else happened, though. Once we had a rhythm section, JJ laid down his dancing electric piano. Once that was in place, I laid down the organ. Then it was time for the guitars, played electrifyingly by both Tez and Stephen. Tez plays throughout most of the song, and Stephen added his part towards the end. Stephen also mixed this for us expertly, as always. If you have a beverage in your hands, you might want to set it down. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

It had been too long since this rusty axe wielder dialled in too much distortion...

Today, that was changed. Stay tuned to follow this twisted journey!

The Eclectic Collective – composition

This song began with Josh coming up with the fonky-ass bass line and sharing it with everyone else. First up to bat was Ken, of course, who really matched the idea I had for the bass perfectly and gave it some flavor, too. Once we had a rhythm section solidified, Tez jumped in with the Kruangbin inspired arpeggios, and really gave the whole thing the flavor that it ended up with. Scotty followed soon after with his melodic/rhythmic leads that match his awesome vocal melodies. Next up was Stephen, who laid in the fiery solo towards the end, as well as some really trippy e-bowed guitar throughout. Then JJ came along and lit it up with his electric piano and synth. Finally, Chris came forward and added the distinct, exciting guitar intro. 
  Of course, we needed someone to produce and mix it, so we asked Tez to handle this one, which he did with his usual high wizardly magic. It is very gratifying to all of us to have Chris back in the mix on this one, as well as some upcoming releases, as well. This was the first time any of us has collaborated with Scotty, and we are thrilled that we finally got a chance. He's a creative, driven, and very agreeable musical partner, who's willing to work with us until we all get it right. We all hope this is just the first of many with him involved. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 
Original lyrics by Scotty:

Can't afford no fucking mortgage. 
And I can't pay no fucking rent.
I would rather you probe me 
than get fucked by our government
who attempts to control me 
and put nonsense in my head.
Who would rather see me
livin' in debt or end up dead.
Come and take me away.
Beam me into space.
Fly me to a planet
where there exists no hate or greed.

Take me to Utopia.
Teach me all your ways.
Save me from dystopia.
It's time to turn the page.
Something better must exist
out there beyond the stars,
where everyone can love and live,
unlike what's become of ours

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-electric mandolin


This song originated with Mark creating a bass line to a metronome, and sharing it with Ken. Ken immediately added his driving drums, and invited the rest of the EC to join in. 
JJ was first up, laying in his foundational organ, and e. piano magic in the first half, and the cosmic synth melody in the second part. Batting second was Josh, who established the melody in the first half with his electric mandolin, and mirrors the melody in the second half with the same.
 Next came Tez, who laid in the funky guitar right after the first break, all the way to the end. Batting clean up was Chris, who laid in the psych guitar in the first section, as well as the high guitar part in the second movement.
 Of course, we needed an expert producer to mix this for us, so we turned to Stephen, who always gets it exactly to everyone's specifications. That in and of itself is quite a skill, and I don't know how he does it, but everyone is always satisfied with his work.
  This is the second song we've done with Mark, who is a tremendously talented bass player, and delightfully creative songwriter. If you aren't familiar with his work, do yourself a favor and hop on over to his page for some delicious bass music. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Many thanks to Frank Mehl, who worked over my AI generated version of this song, so it got even more beauty.
Lyrics:
[Verse] In a land of dreams Where the moonlight gleams There's a fairy creature With mystical themes With a voice so pure And a heart so bright She sings her song To create a new light [Verse 2] With every note The stars align As she weaves her magic In a rhythm divine Her melody floats In the soft night air Creating a world Beyond compare [Chorus] Her song soars Like a gentle breeze Unveiling a realm Where dreams find peace With each sweet word Her power unfurls The fairy creature Who creates new worlds
