A lovely gently paced song, very enjoyable.

Excellente song et une parfaite réalisation. Très belle voix. Superbe travail. Grand bravo.

Listening to you reminds me of Bob Dylan, magnificent song in its purest form, I love this.

Loving the pace and smooth, understated energy in this one Jim. As always, such terrific writing.

This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and I were just sniffing each other out. We'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and I was having trouble with latency in my recording. Out of frustration, I recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, I got my recording issues settled and we continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten. 
  In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion. 
  Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher. 
  You can even watch a video of us all adding our parts on John's page right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mdeT8ySZow&ab_channel=LowTechniqueCovers
  Our hope is that we honored the almighty Led Zeppelin with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

120 Beeps Per Minute

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

Take a deeper look, you might find a clue "Behind The Headlines"

hey babe what you thinking
have you gone and made up your mind
why this ship's, just drifting
and there aint no land in sight

no bell tower in the distance
no moon to guide the way
it's hidden far behind the darkness
waiting for dawn, morning brings another day
waiting for dawn

so long, we been waiting
for the tide to turn the other way
heavy rain, wind was howling
ripped right through our sails

and what waits down below
is much to deep to say
try as we might we can't get it right like the dawn
morning brings another day
waiting for dawn

Waiting For Dawn

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song started in probably the most effective way our group writes them. Ken had a spectacular drum beat that was unused in a previous project, so JJ composed and recorded with his magical keys a chord structure and arrangement. Once we had a beat and a chord structure, Josh came along and added his foundational bass. 

  Now that the rhythm section was complete and the chord structure was in place, Stephen added his unique melody line that you hear at the beginning and every other verse on his magic banjo. He also plays all the initial guitar until about the 1:40 mark, when Tez takes over. In addition, Stephen also laid down some really trippy sitar in the break section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos, which you hear from about 1:40 on, eventually building up to a crescendo towards the end. 

  Once we had all the music down, we realized that we had a big gap in the bridge without much going on in it. So, Mark came through and recorded a cool poem he had written on his refigerator with word magnets more than a decade ago, captured with a picture, and added to for the this song. The poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe. The girl's voice you hear echoing him is his daughter, for whom he originally composed it, in her first appearance with the EC. 

  The song was now finished, except for Mark using his masterful production skills to trim and move a few things. After he made those adjustments on, he threw a mix on it. While we usually defer to Tez or Stephen for the mix, Mark did such a great job, we decided to keep his mix. Stephen did, however master and EQ it to make it a finished product. 

  This is a song written truly as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to is as much as we enjoyed creating it.  


Original lyrics by Mistermark:  


The moon flickers on

and rises and dances

across a celestial stage

as dreamers paint the pixels of their mind 

like an infinite canvas 


Sleep away tiny egg

and leave a delicate thread 

of memory behind 

but never log out 

you are in the elaborate web

always

*** Rien Ne Va Plus. ***

Faites vos jeux!
Moi, je veux bien, car mon système est infaillible.
Je vais placer tous mes jetons d'une façon sûre et progressive
a chaque tour doublant la mise sur tous les manques de passion.

Les jeux sont faits!
Mon indecision est prise:
Je vais crever refléchissant si j'aurais dû marier Denise
si j'aurais dû tuer Bertrand
si j'aurais dû doubler la mise, passionément, a la folie,
au lieu d'épouser Sophie
et m'enliser dans la routine de tous ces piètres cependants
de tous ces tièdes caquetages...
Oui! J'aurais voulu doubler la mise pour annoncer mes finalements.

Rien ne va plus!
Dans ce tripot clandestin
je vois enfin la vérité des martingales
mes yeux figés pour contempler
la danse affreuse et inégale des mains habiles du croupier
poussant la bille et le manchon
pour amorcer les pièges à cons.

Faites vos jeux... 
Les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus...

Il faut partir. Je suis fauché.
Je n'ai plus rien à faire ici.
Malgré tout ce que j'avais promis,
j'ai gaspillé tous mes jetons
dans la folie des illusions.
Comme un voleur lassé de nuits,
je prends la route, en écoutant
un sourd appel au seuil des vents.
