Loving You 66 Minutes Every Hour

A genre-defying track blending retro rock charm with disco dance energy. Channeling the infectious spirit and influences of bands like Deep Purple, The Stone Roses, and Jamiroquai - Red Light explores themes of love, trust, doubt, and what lies beyond the masks we wear.

Devil Inside (Cover)

I can’t see over the Southhampton hedges, it’s good to be taken seriously, but no more serious then you are, there’s the sound of a festival in the street, see all the skinny people eating ice cream- it sure is heaven when you’re not in hell.

This song began with John, who is a verifiable expert in all things Jimmy Page, asking Josh and the Eclectic Collective if they'd like to cover another Led Zeppelin song to follow Hey Hey What Can I Do? Of course, the Eclectic collective is always down to sink their teeth into some of the best rock and roll ever made. John found us recordings of the original Zep version that were separated into their individual tracks, so as we were adding, we could hear what our part would've sounded like playing with the original band. What a thrill!
  Ken was first to complete his part, and did a great job of capturing the frenetic energy of Bonzo. John was up soon after, amazing us with a note for note interpretation of Page on both the guitar and mandolin. Josh came next, after nearly deciding that JPS's part was too difficult. It wasn't. Then, when the bulk of the music was recorded, MD came through and stunned us with a brilliant interpretation of Plant's vocals. To bring it to a boil, Stephen then laid down his magical banjo in there, too. Lasty, Ken and Josh polished it off with some background vocals at the end. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, who in this case was Stephen. He managed to even it out and get it to sound not only like the album, but very dynamic, as well. 
  This is the EC's second collaboration with John, and we're all stricken by how proficient he is at playing Page's material. If you dig what we did here, you can check out the video, too, right here, of us playing. It's on John's YouTube page, which also contains scores of other favorites from Zep, Floyd, and others. If you are interested in seeing how your favorite Zep tunes were played, it's definitely worth a stroll through and watch.  Here's the link to his page. Also, you can find us doing Hey Hey What Can I Say? on there, too.  https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=7YqvUXLKkuXT4qjy
  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Gallows Pole (The Eclectic Collective with John Anthony)

The second track I have done with The Gatsbys and it’s always a pleasure to be asked to collaborate.
Dirk sent me the instrumental and like before I was blown away by his guitar work & melody.
I contributed the lyrics and vocal melodies to this.
It was an honour that he used Nothing left to defend on his latest album Cancel the winter.
So to be asked again was always going to be a yes. 
The  Gatsbys always create that live indie band sound on final recordings  especially with Bens percussion work. 
I hope you enjoy the track as I enjoyed singing on it.
We give you The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie….



V1
He would never catch you when you fall 
Like humptey dumptey on the nursery tale wall 
I’m that 3am person who you can always call
I’ve got your back and I do what you ask 

Bridge
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V2 
I will always show up when your down on your luck 
We’re all born to  places and seldom thunderstruck 
Somewhere along the way we all lose ourselves 
We must  come back stronger to say our Fairwells 

Chorus 
Whitheat happiness 
Will take away this   heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess your happiness 


V3
Let’s move away from what we only know 
To a place where we enjoy the feeling of the afterglow 
Where every single  eye only see the now
To Rebuild again & be happy Somehow 


Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V4 
I just wanna be your whiteheat happiness
And be that warrior who takes away the sadness 
Friends with benefits can’t last forever 
So look no further for your buried treasure 

Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. buttercup 


V5 
Drive in my head im six months down line 
Time as been the healer and now you are mine
I am yours and there is another new bloodline
To be arriving in 9 months from treasure to a goldmines

Chorus 
White heat happiness 
Will take away this heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess….
Your happiness

Whiteheat Happiness - The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie

Doing it now is suicide
that's why I must have tried
but I want to tear it 
from my shoulders

this fucking misery contraption
that I'm mangled within.
Only then could I allow
such a joy in again.

Drowned by the pure.
Injected with grace.
Force my face.
Buried in the mud. 

To feel the flowers love
as it blooms through my ribcage
just so it can show me
what to do with the light.

Words by Riley Robinson

Misery Contraption

We have Seen The Light

Lente Distorcida

NOT a pro-drinking song.
Lyrics:
LUNCH TIME!
One sip turns into more,
Brain running out the door,
More and more you'll find out there,
Stay In and drink, who cares?
Lontrified, leave no stone unturned,
Lontrified,
Rend myself, lontrified,
Tremoline, tresendit,
Walk away, I'll shed no tears,
You can't get me in here,
Play the game and run the race,
While I thaw out my face.
Tremoline, ressindos,
Raomicline, weslonoclampit

Lontrified

Lyrics:

I didn't sign up for the hunt
I just wanted the gun
and the chance to go off, go off x2

the streetlights sigh
like midnight stopped by
and shot up the place for fun
and the hooligans run by
in their 2's and 5's 
always run in packs
or they forget where they come from
and there ain't no fight in their attacks
like their ain't no light in their eyes
just pitch black

You can visit violence
But you can't live there
If you want pure silence
Load your weapons
and have the guts to hunt your fare
Don't run 
when the rabbit screams
when the deer keens
when the bear roars
because when they move in for more
you can't be scared

I didn't sign up for the hunt
I just wanted the gun
and the chance to go off, go off
I didn't sign up for the hunt
I just wanted the gun
and the chance to go off, go off
I didn't sign up for the hunt
I just wanted the gun
and the chance to go off, go off

The wind it howls
Like hell is coming now
and it wants to cave your face in for fun
and the hooligans run by
in their 6's and their 9's
always flash in mobs
when they take out the bourgeois
it's just the way violence comes 
and it don't help that they're numb
that they've succumbed
their ain't no light in their eyes
just pitch black

You can visit violence
But you can't live there
If you want pure silence
Load your weapons
and have the guts to hunt your fare
Don't run 
when the rabbit screams
when the deer keens
when the bear roars
because when they move in for more
you can't be scared

I didn't sign up for the hunt
I just wanted the gun
and the chance to go off, go off x4

when the clouds 
they ignite
and midnight, it stops by
and we've already cut out the lights
leaving us in the pitch black
we all burn too, go off
And we all yearn to, go off 
Visit Violence, go off
in the pitch black, go off, go off

You can visit violence
But you can't live there
If you want pure silence
Load your weapons
and have the guts to hunt your fare
Don't run 
when the rabbit screams
when the bear roars
when the deer, it keens
because if they move in for more
you can't be scared
