This song began back at the beginning of the summer, when Josh was messing around on his electric piano and found a structure to which to add his bass. As soon as he opened the project to the rest of Eclectic Collective, JJ jumped right in, adding his thrilling organ and ethereal background synth. Thus, Josh dropped his original e. piano part in favour of JJ's new parts. Ken was next up, adding the drums in reverse order from how he and Josh usually do it. Ken is very skilled at being able to add drums to a pre-existing bass line, which he displays in here. He also added the clever auxiliary percussion you hear throughout. Mark was next up, adding his funky clavinet, as well as his sax solo you hear lighting it up in there. He also added that synth horns arrangement leading into the last chorus. 
  Then it was time for the guitarists to do their thing. Stephen added the strong, melodic solos in the first two breaks with his guitar and wah pedal. After Tez added his thrilling solos at the end, Stephen went back in and added the funky rhythm guitar part. Tez also added the funky guitar riffs throughout the verses.
  All that was left was to get Carl in on the action, as he is the newest core member of Eclectic Collective. He wrote a poem and sung it in his signature, wild style for us.
  This is Eclectic Collective at almost full strength, pulling six musicians from two different continents and four different countries together to create a song. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
   On a side note, this will be Eclectic Collective's last song for two weeks. As most of you know, we release a song every Thursday at midnight. Due to vacation and travel at the end of summer, we'll be skipping  next Friday, the 15th, but should be returning the following Friday, the 22nd. We may also put something out this coming Tuesday, the 12th, so please stay tuned. Can't thank enough those of you who tune in regularly and support us every week. 

ORIGINAL LYRICS BY THE BEAUTIFUL DARK:
Hey Human
It's official
The get down on fire funk
Future sizzle
All members agree
Gotta collect that love
Then give it back and well, we see
Fuel for that musical party

Initiation ceremony
Transcontinental spanking machine
Uh oh it's a musical tri sexual
Try anything that melody mentioning
Do it for the song
We gonna right some wrong
Rolling rhythm unknown
The human touch
The get down

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo

Aw man, I'm feeling back tingle
Lads, go tell Fiona Apple I'm single
Llanspych, nudge PJ Harvey
Jamming that genius soul new wave!

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo

Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
Flying musical J's
Aw man it's Mike like dunk
Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
To musical 24
You get a song
Drained 81 now on this floor

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music, keep that campfire warm
The get down
Love legends loud
Rest in peace good Kobe one
This one's for you
Good G.O.A.T of stun!


The Get Down (Eclectic Collective)

Mac , music , lyrics , vocals
Scotty , guitar , lyrics , vocals
Shane , lyrics , vocals

I’ve been listening lately 
To the shite that they play on the radio daily
Nothing quite can excite ,too frothy to sway me 
 It’s all far too light more like coffee than gravy

Where’s all the rock stars gone 
The ones who leave it all in their songs
The ones who grab you by the balls and make you sing along
And I’m not joking , these kids today
Not even smoking all far too gay 
And I mean that in the very best way
That your supposed to use it nowadays 

Ladies and gents I don’t know the answer
We need 4 ill raised scally’s 
Not sixteen shit dancers

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish.

Tell me, folks, what's your recipe?(grilled cheese )
First, lose creativity. (Yes please)
Make it bland for all the sheep
who walk blind through life, superficially. (Not deep)
Take their voice, give 'em words to speak  (thought free)
nor a choice but to hit repeat. ( bought three)
Prey on them 'cause their minds are weak, 
and likely to fork out about a g per seat, (fuck me)
buy your merch, wear it in the street.(ok)
Advertise your shit for free. (No way)
To feel a sense of community
though nothing you say or do is unique.  (Per say )

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish.

Over saturation splitting at the seams
Radio rubbish just don’t appeal to me
Shiny shit , opium for the masses
Not about tunes 
Just folks shaking asses
It’s gone too far to save
Sgt pepper and the walrus turning in their graves

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish.

The Founding Fathers

(Soon) 250 Years since founded
George invented honesty and on hearts he pounded
A deity this military man
Found independence for declaration

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

You stuck with George
Man of many tooth
First president for country that found youth
He led convention for constitution
You learned he didn't lie
Begin fake institution

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

Let's stick to the cronies
Vice 1 makes Potus
Revolution not televised
Bring the lawyer as lotus
From the board of war to man on top
John Adams shut you up
No sedition let rot

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

We are cruising with cronyism
Vice 2 moves to lead
Man of 600 slaves became voice of your seed
Author of independence forever on page
The smooth Thomas Jefferson slave loving sage

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

To.Madison, James
Well, He broke the Vice!
And championed well needed bill of rights
Unified colonies
To seperation of powers
Small liberations with left leaning vowers

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

Benjamin Franklin
Good saver of slaves
Good saver just after his fortune was made
Alexander Hamilton! Slave trade, just for family
Not a great look... Our image is gravity

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

John Jay got bank
Now, be gone with salvery
Don't worry boys
Slow abolition be savoury
The federalist papers
Written wide rights
Seven founding fathers are clear in our sights

And where are the mothers?
Still to this day
This country of me 
Chauvanism made way
Where is your lotus
Real truth for your POTUS
It's cavemen of Congress
Ever country dishonest

Happy quarter millennia day
Let's find that truthful USA
Happy quarter millennia day
Let's find that truthful USA



Thoughts....
This is why I thought it was so important for Kamala to beat Orange Sith. America from my point of view and considering it's very short history has a lot of societal poison to transcend. Much of the xenophobic elements are being purposely reignited by the clown and Kamala for me could have helped empower women in America like never before. Because of the US's positive or negative influence around the world, any policy bullshit in my head could not have been the main decision. US politics is fucked until proportional representation is brought in and the electrical college and jerrymandering is got rid of. The system is designed to be corrupted by special interests like no other country on the planet. Now is the moment to really pay attention because the right wing have a chance, the funds and now that Orange Sith is removing the built in seperation of powers that have a clear line between law enforcement and politicians (this is GONE now... Not will go .. It's GONE...) America is dangerously close to an unremovable autocratic regime. It's hard to believe but it's unfolding before our very eyes and some of the 77 million people that got everyone here need to really go for a soul search in this pea heads opinion. We have Guinness though and popcorn so we'll watch from over here. I do love America though and hope this period of widespread ignorance will burn out soon and change for the better of everyone! 🫶🏿🪶🇺🇸🧬🎶🔆

I know I make fun of the founding father... Whatever but the fact is even though they were in the slave trade business and yes that's relative to the time... Their ethics and morals were unquestionably founded in unity more so then the current ego maniac that got voted in... News sources are too polarized for most Americans to see this properly so really not sure what the answer is. Time for the Dems to stop being pussies or you're all fucked for a while 🫶🏽🇺🇸🪶🧬

The Founding Fathers

Originally written in 2003 as a sharp-edged guitar rock song, Metamorphosis has now been reborn in 2025 as a dark electro-industrial track.
This song tells of escape, violence, and the collapse of ethics—reflecting the transformation of both the music itself and the artist behind it.
A document of metamorphosis across two decades.

2003年にギターロックとして生まれた楽曲「Metamorphosis」を、2025年の今、インダストリアル／ダークエレクトロとして再構築しました。
テーマは「逃走」「暴力」「倫理観の崩壊」。
20年以上を経て変容した音楽と自分自身、その軌跡を刻み込んだ一曲です。

[OUT NOW] Metamorphosis

Noisy Stabber (2025)

I don't know, why I am into Hip Hop and EDM lately, but I can not help it. And I have no idea where to publish it, so SC is my place for my out of place tracks. I was very impressed by the power of this woman defending the rights of the Maori-people, so it inspired me to make a track out off her speech at the New Zealand parliament.
