Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song started as a guitar skeleton that had been a twinkle in Tez's eye several years ago. He'd been hanging on to it in hopes of finding a suitable home for it. When he introduced it to the Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it. First up was Ken, laying in his dynamic, powerful drums and percussion. Then Stephen laid down some fiery fills as well as a solid comp part on his guitar. Inspired by the Stones sound of the guitars, Mark added some piano, harmonica, and VST fiddle, then got to work on some lyrics and vocal melody. Josh was atypically late to the party, but managed to get his bass in there, too, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ was next up with his splendid organ and synth to fill in the sound. 
  By this time, Mark had written and recorded some throat shredding vocals, which he added to the mix. We all decided that it now had a Rod Stewart/Faces vibe to it, so we tried to amplify that flavor. To this end, Josh dropped in a mandolin part, as well.
  At this point, the song needed a dynamic push to close out the song, so the decision was made to amp up the crescendo at the end. Ken summoned his best Keith Moon energy, and Tez laid down a killer solo, while Stephen added the big Townsend chords. 
  Mark had been editing and mixing the whole time, and did such an excellent job with it, we decided to go with his mix from the group project. Stephen did master it masterfully before we put it out here, too, though.
  This one got done in a really quick turnaround, and we're really proud of it and hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Thanks for listening!

ORIGINAL LYRICS BY MISTERMARK:

Never was one for being sociable
but lordy knows how I tried 
every time I tried to talk to a girl 
she would always run away and hide

Nobody told me 
nobody cared
nobody told me 
the girl was scared

Back at the party you asked me to dance 
but I didn’t know what to do 
my two left feet had me runnin’ round in circles 
so I always came back to you

Been so long since somebody held me 
made me feel i’m gonna win
but drinkin' that jug o’ juice gonna help me 
when I’m takin' it on the chin

Nobody told me 
nobody cared
nobody told me 
they never dared

another party you ask me to dance 
and I don’t know what to do
my two left feet got me runnin’ round in circles 
and I'm still comin’ back to you...

Nobody Told Me (The Eclectic Collective)

Pour une fois, j'évoque un souvenir d'enfance avec mon arrière grand-père que j'ai bien connu, quand il nous emmenait regarder passer les trains sur un pont de chemin de fer. Ce n'est pas volontairement mélo,  c'était une chanson que je devais réaliser avec un membre de ma famille, mais on n'a jamais trouvé le temps. Je l'ai dépoussiérée et réenregistrée.

Voie piétonne je laisse aller
L’ancien qui veut traverser,
Et l’enfant qu’il tient par la main,
Un déjà-vu, oui je me souviens
Quand l’avenir était pour plus tard
Bien qu’il n’y ait pas d’échappatoire,
Mais bien-sûr on n’en savait rien.

Quand parfois l’ennui prenait le dessus
On partait cueillir les mûres tout au long de la rue
Après le puits dans la montée au tournant,
Coudes sur le bord regard au loin on attendait patiemment

Appels de phares avertisseurs
M’ont sorti de ma torpeur
Quelque chose m’a échappé,
Impossible à rattraper 
Ca fait partie des moments forts
Et on en parlera encore
Quand on sera là à traverser

Vague bitume valant tout océan
Tour de force d'occuper nos heures avec du vent
Après le puits dans la montée au tournant,
Coudes sur le bord regard au loin on attendait patiemment

Trop pressés sans doute trop lassés de tout sûrement,
A retourner là-bas  est-ce qu'on y croirait encore  vraiment ?

La chaleur nous écrasait,
Mais tout ce qui pour nous comptait
Etait tout au bout du chemin,
C’était long mais pas si loin
On pouvait y passer deux heures
On repartait à contre-cœur
Sans avoir vu passer un train

On Allait Voir Passer Les Trains

We are pleased to present track 2  from our new album, 'Haunting One Seven,' full album available on Bandcamp, we hope you’ll enjoy!

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)

Am Rand der weiten Ebene
Wo Wind durch Gräser streicht
Zwei Seelen eng verbunden sind
Die Zeit sie fließt so leicht
Die Zeit fließt so leicht

Karge Felder, staubige Wege
Führen uns zum Horizont
Unsre Träume sind die Brücke
Die uns trägt, wohin wir gehn

Zwei Herzen, ein Gedanke
Ein Funke, der nie erlischt
Gemeinsam durch die Schatten
Bis Morgenrot anbricht

Wenn einer von uns strauchelt
Der andre gibt ihm Halt
In mondlichtklaren Nächten
Findet Hoffnung die Gestalt
(Findet Hoffnung die Gestalt)

Nicht die Lichter großer Städte
Nicht der laute Jubelschrei
Was uns trägt sind unsre Träume
Machen unsre Herzen frei

Zwei Herzen, ein Gedanke
Ein Funke, der nie erlischt
Gemeinsam durch die Schatten
Bis Morgenrot anbricht

Und wenn die Zweifel kommen
Die Angst uns niederdrückt
Dann halten wir zusammen
Bis neue Kraft uns durchdringt

Zwei Herzen, ein Gedanke
Ein Funke, der nie erlischt
Gemeinsam durch die Schatten
Bis unser Traum sich erfüllt

Am Rand der weiten Ebene
Wo Wind durch Gräser streicht
Zwei Seelen eng verbunden sind
In Ewigkeit vereint

English translation:
At the edge of the wide plain
Where wind brushes through grasses
Two souls are closely connected
Time flows so easily
Time flows so easily

Barren fields, dusty paths
Lead us to the horizon
Our dreams are the bridge
That carry us wherever we go

Two hearts, one thought
A spark that never goes out
Together through the shadows
Until dawn breaks

When one of us stumbles
The other gives him support
On moonlit nights
Hope finds the shape
(Finds the shape of hope)

Not the lights of great cities
Not the loud cry of rejoicing
What carries us are our dreams
Make our hearts free

Two hearts, one thought
A spark that never goes out
Together through the shadows
Until dawn breaks

And when the doubts come
Fear weighs us down
Then we stick together
Till new strength penetrates us

Two hearts, one thought
One spark that never goes out
Together through the shadows
Until our dream comes true

At the edge of the wide plain
Where wind brushes through grasses
Two souls are closely connected
United for eternity

Gemeinsam durch die Zeit
