The Day Afters

Your MegaMix

Embark on a sonic adventure like never before with "Demonslayer," an immersive album-video game fusion that transports you to a mystical realm filled with treacherous dungeons, mythical creatures, and rock-infused magic. This groundbreaking experience seamlessly blends the excitement of a video game with the power of a rock album, creating an unparalleled journey for your senses.

Demonslayer

Flowers of Death

Flowers Of Death

Sticky sweet with just a hint of a bite. This deceptively poppy track is wrapped in liquid guitars, a bouncy bass line, and a sugar-rush chorus that hits just right. While the guitar and bass engage in a little playful call and response, the lyrics unravel the feeling of being stuck in a world that’s all gloss, and no substance. Delicious but suffocating. Shiny, sweet, and warped—like candy melting in the sun.

Something More - EP

Taffy

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.

Red Light

Dark and dank, yet somehow uplifting. A song about being a hot mess, and owning it.

Void Century - Demos

Nu One

"Distanced" is a reflective ballad that captures the beauty and heartache of a long-distance relationship, drawing parallels with the infinite expanses of space, and the need for connection stifled by the realities of time and space. With spacey guitar tones and melancholic vocals, The Day Afters blend wistful lyrics with a modern indie sound. Perfect for late-night reflection.

Lyrics:
It’s the Distance - and the time we squandered, the days we found were- quickened.
A rhythm - as we break in two again, smash into ourselves - listen….   

If you want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When  you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

Absence - makes the heart grow fonder But my thoughts still wander - still with you
This system - demands you follow, Makes you swallow - puts us in this queue

If want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

I Miss you - the earth is harder, the sun feels farther than it used to - and we’re just passing through

Trying to read you - I can't tell
Trying to reach you - No one’s there

Void Century

Distanced

The future’s so bright shades aren’t going to help.

Tomorrow Will Be Fine

This track came to life after putting the brakes on the original, more frantic pace and laying back to produce aout a more drawn out and droned out, feel. Inspired by Blade Runner & the TI-84

Lyrics:
COSINE- 	        	
Last call, that’s all - and it’s over - 	
so fast we never got to one more...
Time will tell and compel any closure -  
but we won’t ever know the reasons...

Why -bit by bit we grind down - 	
another hole we slide down- say we tried
Ride - hanging on for life now - 
all the odds defied now - say we tried

Left out, distraught. over exposure	          
When daylight comes they leave it all
Been down, runaround playing poker           
You let them sell you all the pretty lies

Lyrics

To air from tomatoes...

Well... It must be hard to take
Maybe tiring to break
This is not sifted sympathy
We wist with solidarity
Imagining me winning your world
Imagining being you
The human girl
Realising boy, you've done the same
In the face of 'existence filled with blame
In the face of lies
Unformed faces retain the power for now
But the cure is coming...

Why there on Earth your body may ask
This spirit says, we need there, first class.
Only the best to realign,
The fucked up clowns wrecking our only line.

So go have some pokes
Good real yokes
Pills to congo cook our bad
Sad it's needed but dude,
Our blue car is mad

Life will be boring and nice and enjoyable
When strife is knowable and historically showable
And we can take a walk... or have a jam or paint with chalk or... Shoot hoops in the park, A bit of one on one... The one and John Starks....On a streak.... Or something... 💭

One to One
Human to Human
Love to Live
Live to love
The dream is on

To Air from Tomatoes

This one was a pleasant surprise.  Ken came at me last week with this track written, performed, arranged and sung by Joseph Shenton, who I didn't know at the time.  I heard it and definitely wanted to be involved, so they were cool on me adding a little rhythm guitar and then doing the mix and production for it.  Ken added the drums and bass. If you don't know Joseph yet, he's got some killer tunes and worth following to check em out! 

Cast of characters:

Joseph Shenton: composition, lyrics, vocals, acoustic guitar, lead guitar, harmonica, piano

Tex Mex Shaman( Stephen Watkins): Rhythm and texture guitars, production mix and master

K2 and the Three( Kenneth Karasek): Drums, bass guitar,  and shakers 

This song began with Ken and Joseph liking each other’s music. Ken invited Joseph to collaborate. He provided such a wonderful song, that maybe sounds better without drums, but we totally dig this version, as well! Ken asked Stephen to add something special, and for a fantastic third party mix down and master! This is the first collaboration with a couple of the Eclectic Collective collaborators.. we hope you all enjoy it!!

One Twist a’Whisper
Lyrics by Joseph Shenton
Music by Joseph Shenton

Bang the drum
Call the ghosts out
It’s ten to one
N’ we’re under looming doubt 

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

The cradle is tilted
Fires breath is getting hot 
Pine needles are falling
Your poised to spill all you got

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

Skin on skin
Check to cheek
You pull apart quiet
To become the object seekers seek

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

Jump the line
Cheat the deck
The 'bound to be foolish' 
Won’t hesitate for even a sec

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

"THOUGHTS"
Free in my mind and soul, earned through all my living,
Every sacred message, has a different meaning,
Have i ever thought, what it is just giving,
Every little soul, has a great beginning.
Take it all down fellow, to the point you deal,
Cards that never stop, our brains from what to feel,
Is it thought just travels, or our feelings throttle,
Maybe all together, make us live as a whole.
Fantasy created, fantasy itself,
Thought just gives a feeling, killing death on breath,
Combination ended, realistic zones,
We live through one message, passing through our bones.
Does this means we are bonded, taking down a trip,
Living as created, things don't ever flip,
Everything was always, as has always been,
Get the point geezer, get the light of sin.
My mind travels, my thought disappears,
I live in agony, my heart is full of tears,
My soul evaporates, as it lives in nowhere,
My brain dissolves, i can't believe i am lower.
Open now your eyes, the deal wants your heart,
Maybe what we are made of, is with our brains attached,
Let your soul come out, let your soul see,
Maybe soul and body, spirit and you' re free.
Live with spirit fellow, the light has been reborn,
Let your first thought travel, to your eternal soul,
Maybe what we are, is given all around,
Spin it in your heart, live a second round.
Lyrics by RAGIAS CHRISTOS
Enjoy the trip!!

In my soul

“In My Soul” is a heartfelt and poetic journey exploring passion, purpose, and creative expression. This song reflects on overcoming doubt and fear, finding connection, and embracing the beauty of life’s canvas. With uplifting lyrics and soulful melodies, it serves as a celebration of gratitude, inspiration, and the dreams that ignite our spirits. Perfect for moments of reflection and creative inspiration.

Lyrics:
[verse 1]
In my soul, 
a longing burned,
A dream, a passion, 
my heart yearned.
To weave words, 
to paint with my pen,
A poet's journey, 
no end.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[verse 2]
Through doubt and fear, 
I found my way,
With each verse, 
my soul would say.
Seeking connection, 
making whole,
Pouring out 
from deep within my soul.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[reprise-verse 2]
Through doubt and fear, 
I found my way,
With each verse, 
my soul would say.
Seeking connection, 
making whole,
Pouring out 
from deep within my soul.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[Bridge]
Wandering, 
seeking a new muse,
Finding solace 
where nature infused.
At the edge, 
where land meets sea,
Cosmos whispers, 
inspiring me.

[verse 3]
I gazed at the stars, 
in their timeless embrace,
And realized my purpose, 
my unique place.
A single note 
in the symphony of life,
Contributing beauty, 
amid struggle and strife.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[outro]
Embrace passions, 
embrace dreams,
Dance in moonlight, 
where magic gleams.
Life's a canvas, 
awaiting art,
Dreams are whispers, 
igniting the heart.

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ--  Yamaha Genos 2 and Yamaha MoXF8 
synth, organ, electric piano, and vocal harmonies

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, Fender Acoustasonic acoustic guitar, Gibson Earl Scruggs Mastertone banjo, mix, production, and mastering

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

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 

  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.

  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.

  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 

  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

Down for Anything - (Eclectic Collective)

'Edifions des temples absurdes' morceau extrait du 3ème album de M'Z intitulé 'La civilisation de la graine ?' sorti en 2022

Ici joué en live au cinéma de Mirepoix (09) lors du ciné concert des groupes du collectif la Barraque, organisé par le collectif La Barraque et l'association Dirt and CPU le 5 décembre 2024 :
https://youtu.be/2P7n5PQgVjI

"La Civilisation de la Graine" le troisième album du projet, est une réflexion musicale sur l'essence de nos organisations patriarcales et notre tendance à nous organiser en civilisations, certes élégantes mais indéniablement injustes, éphémères, violentes et bancales. 8 morceaux pour tenter d'analyser ces phénomènes.

Edifions des temples absurdes :
Le second morceau de cet album est un amusement sur le temps, l'intelligence, le savoir-faire, la science, le génie et l'énergie dépensée à construire des édifices à la gloire de dieux de plus en plus uniques et de plus en plus masculins, concentrant de plus en plus de pouvoir en une seule et unique entité.

Pretty Papers

In "Noah's Going to Bring the Flood," Bobby Clayton weaves a compelling narrative that explores themes of turmoil, hope, and rebirth through the lens of a modern-day flood allegory. The song opens with an introspective verse that captures the pain and struggles of the human experience. Clayton's lyrics evoke a sense of urgency, as he implores listeners to stop the cycle of hurt and conflict, highlighting the need for healing in a world fraught with division. 

As the song progresses, the chorus serves as a powerful and anthemic rallying cry, repeating the assertion that "Noah's going to bring the flood." This phrase symbolises a cleansing force, suggesting that change is inevitable and perhaps even necessary for growth and renewal. The imagery of Noah, a figure synonymous with survival and new beginnings, resonates deeply, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys toward freedom and redemption. 

In the second verse, Clayton juxtaposes the choices we face—whether to build a mansion or an ark—calling attention to the paths we can take in the face of adversity. The lyrics delve into the idea of divine creation and the consequences of living in doubt, emphasising that we must confront our fears and embrace the unknown. The notion of swimming until the end reinforces the importance of resilience and hope, encouraging listeners to hold onto their dreams even in challenging times. 

Musically, the song blends elements of folk and rock, featuring an upbeat rhythm that complements the hopeful message of the lyrics. Clayton's passionate vocals and evocative storytelling create an engaging listening experience, leaving audiences inspired and reflective. "Noah's Going to Bring the Flood" is not just a song; it's a call to action, urging us to rise above our struggles and prepare for the transformative tides ahead.

Sympathy

Heartbreaker EP

my lyrics 💜 

Got a heart heavy with love but my mind’s in the chase,  
Worry creepin’ in like it owns this space.  
Every step feels like I'm runnin' a race,  
But I’m holdin’ on tight to the dreams that I chase.
Wake up with the sun, but shadows linger long,  
Counting all these blessings while I’m humming a song.  
Thoughts in a whirlpool, drowning me slow,  
What if tomorrow don’t give what today didn’t show?  
But when you hold me close, it’s like the world fades away,  
In your arms I find peace; you’re my light through the gray.  
When life tries to trip me up and pull me apart,    
I’ll keep fighting for us 'cause you’re holding my heart.
Every deadline looming got me feeling so stressed,   
Mind racing wild like an uninvited guest.    
Thoughts of bills piling high and dreams on delay—    
Still your laughter echoes loud; it keeps fears at bay.  
So I'll breathe through the worry while loving you strong,
Finding strength in our moments when everything feels wrong.
When life tries to trip me up and pull me apart,
I’ll keep fighting for us ‘cause you're holding my heart.

Dj La Li Costa - We Get UP

i don't think it'll ever end

A hypnotic spiral of rebellion, sarcasm, and existential dread — Habitual is the distorted mirror reflecting the world’s endless hustle. Gritty guitars meet hyper-literate lyrics in this darkly groovy indie track from The Day Afters.

Habitual

Drifting - where you wanted to be. Lay back and let the current take you down. Lounging on the floaty that is life while the world unravels underneath. An homage to vintage summer horror flicks and the absurdity of modern escape - brought to you by The Day Afters. 

Drifting

"Eye of Thought"

Dropping from the eye of thought,
a conciouss reality that was never born,
holding all this life in my hands,
i thought it was better to show them to dance,

Taking down this trip in the slope,
what you had known was always been told,
looking for someone to rest,
the thoughts in your head that were never blessed,

dropping from the eye of thought.....
