my lyrics 💜 

In shadows deep where silence screams,  
The cancer creeps, it shatters dreams,  
A venomous fog that darkens the day,  
In this relentless fight, I won't fade away.  
Fingers like daggers, it pierces my soul,  
A thief of time that devours me whole,  
But I rise like a phoenix from ashes of pain,  
With fury igniting, I’ll break every chain.  
Anger, fire, burning bright,  
In this battlefield, I embrace the fight,  
With every breath, I’ll scream and shout,  
Make every day count, let no doubt.  
We’ll stand together, hand in hand,  
In the face of darkness, we’ll make our stand!  

The grim reaper's laughter, a cold, hollow sound,  
But I’ll roar like a lion, I won't be bound.  
These scars are my armor, my shield and my pride,  
In this war against life, I will not hide.  
It wears down the body, like rust on a blade,  
But the strength of my spirit can never be swayed,  
With warriors beside me, we rise for the lost,  
We’ll conquer the demons, no matter the cost. 
So here’s to the fighters, the brave and the bold
With rage in our hearts, we’ll conquer the night,  
In the war against cancer, we’ll stand and ignite!  
Make every day count, we won't be undone,  
Together we'll rise, until victory's won!

Battlefield of the Mind

The Tower ( Brownie, Fox & Daniels)
By :This Sound Society 

A song inspired by taking my 89 year mother to The Vintage Boys  Rock n Roll show.
A three piece harmony group backed by a fantastic band.
After the gig my mother reminisced about her own rock n roll days mainly at The Tower Ballroom where she danced the night away with her sister, brothers & friends.
So I thought I would love to create a three part harmony song with a twist of vintage and modern rock n roll thrown in. 
Magic Mike Fox loves a challenge and Nat Daniels is always up for a sing a long with me & Mike . So from basically an acoustic version to this power house. Magic Mike waved his wand and it’s happened. 

The Tower Ballroom was an attraction in Birmingham England which opened to the public in March 1876 and closed permanently in 2017 and was demolished in 2022.
It held 150 years of history and It was located beside Edgbaston reservoir. 
The Tower Ballroom hosted a wide variety of events, including roller-skating, ice-skating, dancing, discos, weddings, boxing matches, theatre, and musical performances including many famous names that graced its revolving stage. 
It was the place to go in the late 50s/60s onwards for the young people of Birmingham to enjoy the thrill of a big live music and dance venue.
Many romances, marriages and divorces were down  to The Tower . 
My own parents meet at The Tower and went on to  have a wonderful marriage.
So I dedicate this tune to my parents and all those stories my mother told me about it and how iconic it was.
It feels like a part of me and I did visit it myself a few times for a night out  usually after yet another refurbished in the 80s/ 90s. 
The picture cover is a photo of the queue for that last ever afternoon dance. Couples who meet at The Tower and got married were asked to attend to give it a good send off before being demolished. 
Would especially like to thank Mike for his patience as always with me and most of all his incredible musicianship, producing & nice guy skills.
Nat for  another awesome vocal performance and the infectious energy she always brings.
Top people are hard to find and I’m eternally grateful to have collaborated with so many on this app and look forward to another fruitful year creating great music with great people.
This Sound Society gives you ….

The Tower 

V1
She looked across the reservoir 
Where she stood for many  years 
The Cupid of this 2nd city
With romance marriage & tears 
And if wasn’t for the tower I wouldn’t be here right  now 
It where my parents eyes meet on a dance floor somehow 

Ch
Come on …let’s  meet at The Tower
What a time to be alive 
Come on …. Let’s meet at The Tower 
walk , bus, tram or drive 
Come on. Feel the power 
Welcome to the Tower

V2
To all them happy endings & tales of the reser  banks
This is our song we are singing to send love with a massive thanks 
She had Bowie, New Order, The Smiths, The Who just to name a few 
From the 50s, 60s, 70s,  80s 90s  what decade were  you 

Finish on a double chorus ..

  Well folks, it's that time of year again. It's time for the Eclectic Collective to take stock of the fruits of the year previous, and reflect on what making music together means to all of us. We hope you all take a chunk of time and indulge in our gift to you. We wanted to address every one of our SoundCloud friends with our voices as an intimate way to connect with each of you.
  This has become a tradition within the EC now that we've made it to our second (and a half) year of making music together. For the second time, JJ asked our friend and sometimes collaborator Jeff (Stonerjazz) to ask some interview questions of us. Then, we all came up with the answers and sent them to JJ to assemble the project.
  This mighty music machine we've created, that manages to release a new song every Friday, wouldn't mean anything if no one was listening to us. Which is why we want to extend our very sincere thanks to you for tuning in and supporting our efforts. If one other person gets joy from our music, that's such a huge accomplishment. However, it really feels like a bunch of people whom we really respect are digging what we're doing, which feels truly humbling and fulfilling. 
  With that, we hope you enjoy hearing us voice our thoughts over the highlights of our musical year as much as we enjoyed a year rich in music and comradery. Happy New Year!

The 2024 Eclectic Collective Rockumentary

Play For Me

Music: Composed, written, mixed, mastered, and performed by: Acoustc

Lyrics: Written, performed, mixed and mastered by The Mysterious Decibel

The brown sounds its own bassline
Breeding Frankenstein
But i've seemed to have crossed the line
Cuz i got a text from the boss
While i'm dropping brown sauce
DROPPIN' BROWN SAUCE

What you doing?
Where you at?
You're on company time
I'm just dropping some sauce is that even a crime!?
Don't you know you gotta slave, don't you know to behave to make your precious dime!

Knock knock 
Who's there?
Open up it's me
You've been in there since half past 3
I'm dropping some sauce do you wanna see?
You're about to be fired on the highest degree!

Couldn't be any hotter than the seat beneath me
Blast beats in the bowl with some Hennessey
Couldn't be any hotter than the rage inside me
That i feel towards you and this company!

Do I really need this? 
I don't need this anymore
I reach down underneath my balls and taint
My hand will become the brush that paints
I rise from the shitter with a vengeful smile
I'll leave my mark, it'll be on file
The knocking won't stop
I think it's time to quit in style

How you gonna fire with a face full of shit!?
How you gonna fire me if I already quit!?
How you gonna fire me with a face full of shit!?
How you gonna fire me if I already quit!?
I'm just gonna fire you with the heat of this hit!
No two week notice just a hand full of shit!
Solidify you died with the scent of a smack
Made your toes lift up and your spine bent back!

Shitty hands, vengeance, Handcuffs and prison cells
I guess that was my final boss but now i shit wherever with no farewells

No farewells
No farewells!

On Company Time

Evaporate

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS semi hollow body electric guitar, seed idea

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

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 organ

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar and mastering

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Squier Custom Telecaster electric guitar processed through a Line 6 interface to sound like a synth, mix, and production

Eclectic Collective -- composition

This song started around the New Year holiday, when Josh was playing around with a looper beat on his bass. He came up with the bass line and structure for it before turning it over the the rest of the Eclectic Collective to work with. 

  Ken was first up, giving the beat its due as a real drummer, and making it his own, expertly, as always. JJ was up next with his dynamic, lush organ, propping up the groove and adding sonic flavor throughout. Stephen came through after JJ with his foundatoinal, gritty, groovy guitar. It was sitting there ripe for a melody at this point, so Josh heard and added a melody vaguely inspired by the Simpson's theme and added it with his electric guitar. Tez wrapped the whole thing up with the exciting "synth" part you hear in the middle with his custom Tele, which he processes through a Line 6 interface.

  Once it was in the bag, Tez did the honors of producing and mixing it for us, and he did so exactly as we wanted it.

  This is an example of a song Josh started with a groove and set loose on the rest of the band. It is also a good example of what happens when we're all moving towards the same vision. We hope you enjoy hearing this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

More hat tips to Irish folklore here. Reading up on the Yamnaya culture and how the spread of modern culture may be rooted in years much further back then history currently suggests. Its also showing fairly cool links between Ukraine and Ireland which is whats keeping me digging...

The Myth
The Tuatha Dé Danann were the God tribes of Skill and they defeated the Formorians whom were the evil gods. Apparently first written about by early Christians I was perusing how they came to that conclusion. Maybe it was this... A more evolved society that they came across. A godlike society. I'm sure it would have been easy to mistake incredibly advanced human beings with gods...🤷🏽
I also listened to one mythologist talk about a period of peace and tranquility after this battle..
 So in the face of all the fire it was nice to imagine that happened before and bring in that ⚡
So maybe the Christian texts are naive stories about old wars. And the Gods of Skill won and we found peace for a while. Yes please

Lyrics

To the God tribes of skill
The green muscled gauge for our will
Back then a land bridge brought us to Europe
Back here the Yamnaya culture flourished
Peace and quiet
No war
The good life survived
Not poisoned with stores
No one advertised
No euro, yen or dollar
Subtle rations sussed
Generous with touch

Good God tribes of skill
Good gauge for our will

We listened to your stories
We're soothed by your good glories
We've serviced your signs
We think now clearer designs
What you meant no longer spent
Now and to the future we went

Good God tribes of skill
Good gauge for our will
Subtle rations sussed
All about to love
Generous with touch
Knew love

Tribes of Skill
