Down The Erie Rhodes

NO SE QUE HACER

Cuando llega la tarde 
Ya no se que hacer 
Vino en la cabeza 
Me duelen los pies 
Soles que pasan sin atardecer 
Lunas que lloran al anochecer 
Sin valor para mí 
Sin valor para vos 
Y si se va la tarde 
Al encerrarme 
Cuando se termine 
Voy a entender 
Soles que vuelven al amanecer 
Lunas que lloran sobre mí ser 
Sin valor para mí 
Sin valor para vos

NO SE QUE HACER

Don't Abandon All Hope

San Kajati plays bass and arrangements 

lyrics
the gas and electric have gone through the roof
if this is living then show me the proof

all the money I’ve got that I have to my name
won’t pay the rent
won’t ease the strain

get your robot hands off me

i worked to the bone but the factory’s gone
now i'm told to have a go

stores are boarded up and the mall’s gone quiet
we’ve taken to the streets but there is no riot

get your robot hands off me

not an emergency
though there is a sense of urgency   
my head hurts I might need surgery

no food in the fridge
and my old man tried to murder me
and a letter from the agency 
says I earnt too much lately
though they can’t say when exactly
they treat me  like I’m a toxic allergy


2 and 2 is three
robot choose to believe


robot gets to choose 
where I get the kids shoes
that I can’t buy booze
that I’ve got too much to lose
i tighten the belt it tightens the screws	
like an offer I can’t refuse
join the queue 
at least there’s a queue 
and that’s good news

i do get to choose
do i spend my last 20 on credit
i need a phone but instead it’s
better to spend it on food
but robot gets to choose

This song came out a collaboration with CTS during FAWM last year. It's a bit heavy rock and a whole lot of funk. I suggest you listen with headphones for the best experience ;)

Lyrics by Andrea Brennan
Music, vocals and production by CTS

Pulsing neon signs
Flashing venom in my eyes
Poison triggers feeding
Euphoric state of mind
Escalating into
A hyperactive high

Chorus
Manic insanity
Roller coaster ride
Manic insanity
Wreaks havoc on my life
Manic insanity
Each peak with such intensity
Surely one will be the death of me

Race the Vegas strip
Stack of hundreds up my sleeve
Double down and hit me
Only losers need to sleep
The devil's come to play
I'm getting in too deep

Chorus
Manic insanity
Roller coaster ride
Manic insanity
Wreaks havoc on my life
Each peak with such intensity
Surely one will be the death of me

Up and down the streets
Searching for some fun  
Hoping my last twenties
Can buy some one-on-one
Honey in her hot pants
Pulls a hit and run

Chorus
Manic insanity
Roller coaster ride
Manic insanity
Wreaks havoc on my life
Each peak with such intensity
Surely one will be the death of me

-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 in the second half. 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 honours, 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's 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 (The Eclectic Collective)

First song recorded in french. Hey, we'll see how that goes

Sydney, Australie

Cast of characters:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Takamine acoutic and Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, composition, lyrics, mix, and production

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – jaw harp. vocals, production, mix, and editing     

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 for voices that include bagpipes, Celtic flute, and Hammond B3, along with the bagpipe and "off with her head" outro

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– mastering

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision bass

This song started as a rough recorded by Tez on his acoustic and electric guitars. He also wrote the lyrics right off the bat, and introduced them to the rest of The Eclectic Collective by singing them as a rough, too. His vision for this was to create a song that sounded like it could've been recorded at Headly Grange. He also wanted it to feature instruments that wouldn't sound entirely out of place in Feudal Age Britain (between 1000-1600 C.E.) to carry the spirit of his lyrics.
  Tez always writes songs that are fun to learn and have cool changes, so the we all jumped in with both feet. Ken was first up with his Bonham like big, bad beat. To that, Josh added his P-bass, which he used a plectrum on, something he rarely does, trying to sound like JPJ to match Ken's energy. JJ came along next, adding his colorful mix of raucous organ, time period relevant Celtic flute, and outro bagpipes. He did the entire outro, in fact, including the "off with her head," line, too. 
  Once the music was all laid down, Tez tapped Mark to sing the humorous lyrics. Mark came through with flying colors on the vocal performance, as always, too. Mark also added the textural, boingy-sounding jaw harp in the chorus sections.
  Now that it was all in the can, Two of our master producers Tez and Mark mixed it, then asked the third, Stephen, to do the final mastering. It should be noted, too, that Mark also contributed significantly to the production, too, with his masterful editing skills.
  This was a really fun tune to put together, as we always have fun working on Tez's seeds. He is telling the tale of lust between two Feudal era peasants. Of course, it's rife with ribaldry, being as Tez is British. We hope you enjoy listening to this a much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original yrics by Llanpsych:

Verse 1


Working in the fields
All summer long
Glowing like the sun
Oh so fit and strong 
Feudal Woman
I like the way you move
Feudal Woman
I want to plough your groove
Verse 2

Loving in the dusk
Lying in the hay
Drinking hot cider
Till the end of the day 
Feudal Woman
I like the way you move
Feudal Woman
I want to plough your groove

Feudal Woman Blues-Eclectic Collective

The arrangement/sounds all need work.

Can you see the lady on the platform over there?
The one with the flower placed in her blonde hair
I once met her, I once spoke to that girl
And I hold onto that moment, as though it means the world

At night
I see the changes in the world
At night
I see everything so clear
At night
I see your face beside me
At night
You love me

My love, will not fade, just because the lights dim
I see you again, but I see you’re with him

I see you when I’m shopping
And I try to pretend
That you mean less than nothing
But I look in the end
Overjoyed when I see you
Looking at me
I'm light as a feather
And as free as can be
Oh, I hope that your gaze never lifts from me
To someone with a better personality
I smile so broad and hope you are pleased
Before I notice you were looking far beyond me

Oh, your smile sends shivers down my spine
And your eyes imprisoned me in time
I reach out for the moments we had
Be them lies, no matter, I’m glad

Dance with me, my love
Dance with me...

I reach out to try and see if my dream
Is really reality
But my lies are too thin and poorly woven
I just see a torn tapestry
And my beautiful blonde girl is not really mine
All I possess is solitude
I pick up the shreds of the dreams that I wove
And hold them close as I’m crying

At night
I see the changes in the world
At night
I see everything so clear
At night
I see your face beside me
At night
You love me

A Torn Tapestry (demo)

"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.....

Eye of Thought (Lyrics on Description)

The Failed States is a creative project based in an aged care facility in the leafy suburb of Wantirna, Melbourne Australia. 

Initially a recreational outlet, allowing residents to express themselves through music, poetry and sitting still, The Failed States has since taken on a life of it own. 

Anguished songs about other residents' grandchildren being too loud at the table tennis table, or laments of lukewarm, semi-set pudding were gradually replaced by powerful pieces about climate change, urban decay, relationship breakdown and stolen dentures.

There are no permanent members of The Failed States, we live on, as age, petty rivalries, and forgetfulness takes us all.

The Failed States tries to perform in the common room on the second Tuesday of every month, after lunch.
