This song is about being stuck in an endless loop of working life, the realisation of never ending monotony, to finally working out how to handle it and the hope of escaping it.

Ran to the mountain top but still not high or far enough away 
I still could hear them call my name 
Chocking on soda pop it fizzled to my tired and worried brain 
For a moment I forgot their pain 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
My girl is beautiful sharp mind hot body personality 
She brings to life my wildest dreams 
My mind is hijacked thinking real is fake 
now true and fantasy is on a collision course full steam 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, Waving to each other from across the cell 
deja vu  I lose my mind just thinking bout you
But then it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here 
Oh yeah 
Believe in me like I believe in you 
She has a softer side when showcased on the full sized movie screen
But when the lights go down oh no
From far away the hurricane looks like a pillow in the blue 
The silver lining hides the truth 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, waving to each other from across the cell
I used to get real scared just thinking bout it WWIII 
now psychopathic thugs have got nothing on me
But still it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here

come around here

In this track I used pedal steel guitar, acoustic guitar, water drums, synth pad, electric bass and bell tree.
Thank you for listening !

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Trapped Rat

When I was young I remember watching Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats on Top Of The Pops rip up a picture of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John from Grease. Summer nights had been at number 1 for seven weeks. The Rats had knocked it off to take the number one spot with Rat Trap. 
I was around 11 and thought this guy is so cool and the music and storytelling lyrics captivated me. 
This is the reason I wanted to be a frontman which lead on my journey of music from playing live at Birmingham’s Nec, releasing singles, albums on various labels and finally my last ever band gig selling out Ronnie Scott’s. 
These days I’m more of a bedroom rockstar recording remotely which suits me fine. It’s a young man’s game.
Trapped Rat is a continued story of Rat Trap and how in my head I thought Billy & Judy ended up 45 years later.
Yes I know it’s a long track but stick with the story as it’s a short story in song.
Noobly said it’s our Jungleland like Springsteen and I agree with him.
Hope you enjoy the journey because Rat Trap still remains one of my favourite all time tunes. 
And Geldof in his early work was a lyrical inspiration to me. 

V1
Billy rocks from side to side sitting in the darkness 
Hes listening to music that now makes him feel worthless 
The songs they remind him of those younger days 
When he thought he had no future 
And needed to change his ways 

Bridge pre chorus 
And Gorgeous  Judy was the only precious thing 
And he don’t see her no more 
Cause he’s a troubled thing 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

V2
Billy don’t leave the house only to go down the offey 
8 on the dot to buy cheap booze and backey 
He still pushes the button to cross that busy road 
He’s now in his early sixties and god he feels the cold 

(Bridge pre chorus )
As the youths are hanging around the yellow streets lights 
In years gone by he would have picked a fight 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

Chorus 
Your still  a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Your still a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Even in your old age x2



V3
Judy made a life with some hot shot lawyer
And her life with Billy is just something that annoys her
And when she arrives she pictures the Italian cafe 
It’s new bricks and mortar shes now visiting her and Billy’s daughter 

V4
Judy now in the bracket of middle classes 
And now drinks her coffee in double walled borosilicate glasses
And now 50p is  the least of her worries & cares 
She lives the highlife with panache grace &  flair

(Bridge pre chorus)
She don’t speak of Billy and nights spent together 
She as her own family from the land of never never 
She knows the rats 
She know the people 
It’s not hard for Judy  to decide these days
These days 

Chorus

Ash to ash
Dust to Dust
Here we go again
I pray to god but I swear
I don't think his listening
I fear the man in the mirror
worse than the Boogie Man!!
I held my mothers rosary inside my hand
Baby if you really know who I am
I don't think you would want to hold really my hand!!

London Bridge has fallen down!!
The sky has turned to red!!
The oceans fill with blood!!
I am the Monster here!!
The mask has fallen down!!
I'm the monster now!!
I hope you run!!

The road to happiness is difficult to find
You can get lost along the way..
You have to make an effort
Keep an open mind
And happiness will come to you one day..

If there is lightning and thunder
And the rain pours down
You can still smile through your tears..
Roar like a lion
Dance in the rain
Let joy be your outfit to wear..

If you only demand
With nothing to give
Unable to find pleasures in small things..
You will never feel happy
It will only get dark
And you will miss out what life can bring..

If there is lightning and thunder
And the rain pours down
You can still smile through your tears..
Roar like an lion
Dance in the rain
Let joy be your outfit to wear..

Road To Happiness W/ Janne Hennie

Syzygy

'courage'

Moments often can not be rehearsed. 
And we're left wishing that we could reverse
time to change our ways.
Oh, what I've come to learn with age
is I've had it in myself this whole time. Courage. 

Strength to walk away without resolve.
Pain that dissipates when I'm absolved
solely from the blame.
Yet, how quickly truths can change
when it's rearranged to suit the needs of all. 

I've been living in an opened cage.
My freedom is my own yet I'm afraid
to spread my wings and fly
from all the years I've lived this lie.
But the time has come for me to break these chains.

Indie rock demo

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 --Mark-- horns and shakers
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—Sublime Keyboard and Organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, vocals, composition, and mix
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass 
This song was written by Ken and a dearly departed friend and former bandmate named Chris Bennett about the latter's divorce that he was going through at the time when their band was also breaking up. Ken had a good demo of the two of them fleshing it out, which the Eclectic Collective used as a template for the song. Josh was first to add his unique slide bass line to the song. Next up was Tez, who added the fiery solo you hear at the end. Stephen came in not too long after with the rhythm guitar, complete with the intricate fills you hear throughout. Around the same time, Mark added some really innovative, genre-bending horns and shakers to it. Ken then completed the song with his stellar vocals. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, so Ken turned it over to Stephen for an objective mix, although Ken was still heavily involved in the process, too. This is the first time Ken has sung lead for an EC song, and we were all very impressed with his skills on this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Chris Bennett:

I once believed in happy ever after
Now I’m convinced by tears instead of laughter
There’s not much good inside that’s left to do the things for my survival

If I relied on you to make it better
I’d die a 1000 times, before we get together
All that is bad inside will rise back to the top
With your arrival

Burn down the doorway
Run down the hall
Scream out my name
But I may never hear you, never hear you
Drive down the highway
Until you’re gone
I may never hear you call

I still believe that someone’s always watching
Each time I turn around, I never hear them talking
All that is bad inside will never fade away with your arrival

Burn down the doorway
Run down the hall
Scream out my name, but I may never hear you
Never hear you
Drive down the highway
Until you’re gone
I may never hear you call

Na Na Na  Na Na Na
Na na na

As a very experienced and qualified practitioner, my brother Bri’s widow Sue has always been a believer in the homeopathic approach to life.  A vegan since her late teens, she truly walks the talk and has never been afraid to stand tall against the herd, no matter that this can often bring her into conflict with the mainstream.  Admittedly, I do not follow either of these creeds but it does have to be said that my own opinions aren’t exactly conventional either, so am a huge admirer of her courage to speak up for the things she considers right.  It takes strength and resolution to stand your ground when all around seem to be against you - and stand her ground she does. 

Sue is a true supporter of our music.  Always interested in what we are doing, her positive feedback is something that means a great deal to us.  Recently, she asked to listen to some of our more recent songs and was particularly taken with ‘My Atheist Angels’, since it deals with issues that are very close to my heart.  As we chatted, she surprised me by asking if I’d ever consider writing a song that represented her feelings and life choices, something I’d never been asked before.  

For me, the writing process is never straightforward because songs most often appear completely out of the ether.  I hardly ever make straightforward choices about them, allowing grains to sprout of their own accord whilst I’m just sitting around strumming my guitar.  Occasionally, those initial seeds take years to grow into a shape that pleases me, let alone one that may please someone else.  

So in answer to her question, I didn’t say yes but then again I didn’t say no, feeling that the only way forward was to gather some thoughts about her and hope that somewhere along the line, these would bring into existence a tune that pleased the  both of us.  As luck would have it, everything dropped into place much more quickly than I’d imagined and here is the song I created for her.  As I write, she doesn’t even have the faintest idea it even exists, so we will have to wait and see whether it is everything she hoped it would be.  Let’s hope so…. (Terry Reeves)

Roots of existence remain deeply underground 
Hiding from destruction most scientists have found 
Politicians manoeuvre with an honesty of believers
Not treating with kindness, natural self achievers 

It’s a love of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

Vaccination of hope killing antibodies of prevention  
Not understanding opinion of a personal protection 
Homeopathic practice with a care for entire person
No apologies of achievement, truth is always certain

It’s a love of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

It’s a regretful crime
Politicians design
Looking for a sign
No time to re-define
Hottest sun to shine:
No chance to climb 
Slide down the slime
Running out of time

It’s a fear of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

An equality of opinion but never dictating needs
Important to be heard, chance of choosing seeds
A want to be free and understanding of respect 
Information of direction, not experiment neglect 

It’s a fear of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

No intention of disturbing change planetary axis 
Love the living but concerned possible malpractice 
Planting for survival total respect for all the animals 
Conviction of beliefs, removing doubter’s manacles 
 
It’s a love of mine…….It’s a life of mine…

Lyrics:

When she was a little girl her daddy was the one
That she adored and looked up to
He taught her so much, they played in the sun
He was the king in her life..

She grew older
Her daddy's heart grew colder
He was no longer her king..
And all she could see was a thorn
In her faded memory

When she was fourteen her mother told her
Your daddy is not your real dad..
It broke her heart, she lost her king
She became angry and sad

She grew older
Her daddy's heart grew colder
He was no longer her king..
And all she could see was a thorn
In her faded memory

While time passed, and she moved on
Her faded memory returns..
It didn't feel painful
No longer a thorn
But her daddy's heart was gone..

While she grew older
Her daddy's heart grew colder
And he was no longer her king..
But now she can see her king
In her faded memory...

He knows my Name

The man in the cover picture is the protagonist of a famous comic series in Italy that I adored as a child. His name is Tex Willer: a ranger, but also the chief of the Navajos tribe.
Unfortunately (or luckily) I unintentionally deleted the Audacity project file of this track. So improving it is impossible. I could make it worse, so I leave it as it was already a few years ago.

lyrics:
Just another second before i blow you away
just another hype before this decadence
U r about to be eliminated beyond this fence
u know u don't have any decent defense

That's the condition shit
where all the people spit
the gratefulness that should exist
but got lost from people's fist


Just another war about to begin
that's the people's choice gathered on one regime
U r about to be eliminated beyond this world
u know u don't have any decent kind of word

Now the history repeats itself
just another book from the shelf
just another hit before this demolition begins.

My friend David Z (a.k.a. @blackmarketbrains) posted this incredibly awesome drum beat as an open collab. It was made using the korg Volca Drum which we both are fans of. I had this on deck to work with for months. When I finally plugged it into the DAW I was immediately inspired and this came together right away. Best played at high volume, hope you'll enjoy!

Lyrics:

I saw you walking down the street
I could barely move my feet
You were the hottest man I have ever seen..
But you didn't see me
I was one in the crowd
I just wanted to grab you
and scream out loud

You are such a handsome man
And I just wanna hold your hand
Take me walking down the street with you..

I would be so proud
Not just one in the crowd
And other girls would try to grab you
and scream out loud

You are such a handsome man
And I just wanna hold your hand
Take me walking down the street with you..

I would be so proud
Not just one in the crowd
And other girls would try to grab you
and scream out loud

You are such a handsome man
And I just wanna hold your hand
Take me walking down the street with you..

Take me walking down the street with you..

So let me take your hand
You should be my man
Walking down the street together, me and you..

You are such a handsome man
And I just wanna hold your hand
Take me walking down the street with you..

Lyrics:

In a winter storm, so much going on
Colder and darker days
Busy people, no time to talk
Running separates ways

Chorus:
Think about the lonely ones
Who need a helping hand
Who long for someone to talk to
A good woman or a good man

In a silent storm, so much going on
A quiet bitter fight
No words spoken, just angry looks
No one seems to be right

Chorus

In a noisy town, so much going on
Too many people around
Annoying buzzing from everyone
Lots of distracting sound

Chorus

In a busy world, so much going on
People who don't care
That there is someone who feel lonely
Lost one who use to be there

Think about the lonely ones
Who need a helping hand
Who long for someone to talk to
A good woman or a good man....

Someone To Talk To

Cover Collaboration with Tom Adams...many thanks to him for adding his guitar work.
Words by Ada Habershon in 1908 and reworked by the Carter Family in 1935... made famous by the Carter Family and many other artist.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Cover)- Vocal by Tony and Guitar by Tom Adams

Remembering old friends and places with such great images.  This song
was written by Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen Jr,. while they attended
Texas A&M in the late 70's. It was released by Lyle in 1986.  What an American singer and songwriter.  A gem of a song

This Old Porch   (  cover - Lyle Lovett)

Version of a Seether tune, "Broken", featuring my initial vocal and acoustic guitar tracks bathed and enhanced by Nemo's masterful electric guitars and other creative enhancements and then Lamara-Marie added her Angelic Harmony to take this Collab to an entirely different level. Thanks so much Marc Elusse (Nemorospo) and Lamara-Marie Graham Hitchens (Angel)!!! :D

Broken - HQ Version ft. Nemorospo Guitars/Production and Lamara-Marie Graham Hitchens (Harmony)

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)
