Lyrics (Dave Orestes):

What is rich? You're asking me
Rich is so simple, don't you see
It's not what you own but what you do and say
.
What is rich? You're asking me
It's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Rich is how well you sleep at night and
your thoughts on your own death bed
when you have few regrets
few regrets
.
Rich is passing on
the prospect of hope
so that all have a chance
to prosper and grow
Rich is not how tall 
Your sky scrapers grow
no no no no
.
Or the number of seats
in your stadium row 
It's not how many toys
in the attic you've stowed 
oh no no
that's not it
.
What is rich? You're asking me
Oh it's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
Not what you touch every day 
.
Rich is when
All the children are fed
And each of them has 
A warm safe bed
Rich is how 
You care for people 
That, you've never met
.
It's not hard to explain 
It's all about what you feel 
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Doo da doo da doo
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa
La laa la la
.

What Is Rich (with Dave Orestes, 2024)

Impressions from the Celestial Couch

Meteor Shower

Thought I'd try something different and create a Lo-Fi synth track, enjoy! 

Late Night Drive

This track is a collaboration with Synline (Tokyo) on.soundcloud.com/bzQWw

Synline shares ... I thought this song would be suitable for the opening of the album. When I asked SeaShea for guitar, he not only contributed his usual electric guitar but also created some tracks with synthesizers. The song, initially incomplete, reached its completion through his efforts. Collaboration has been a fulfilling experience.

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark--sax (VST), organ, tremolo guitar chords (synth), harmonica, composition, production, mix
Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and primary vocals

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– second electric guitar solo, and mastering

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano and electric piano

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, first electric guitar solo, rhythm guitar comping 



This is a song started when Mark came up with its architecture, recorded in a  slower, more laid back version on his own. However, he wanted a more souped up version with solos in turns. So, he turned to The Eclectic Collective to fill in the pieces. He originally had solos in all the parts which he laid down on the keys, and he had some lyrics, too. However, once he heard The Mysterious Decibel's excellent lyrics and vocals, the song totally changed the direction and the vibe, for the stellar. 
  But MD didn't start the whole thing. As happens sometimes, even without Tez on this one, we still needed to clear out some space to let everyone have their say. So, Mark went in and lengthened the song mechanically. Once we had a final form, Ken, as always, came up with the foundation for the song, allowing Josh to add his version of Mark's bass line. Then, after MD gave us the vocals to form the song, we got down to adding the solos. JJ first added his thrilling opening piano solo, as well as the electric piano solo right after the first verse, which Mark is also playing a VST sax solo in, as well. Then I added my guitar solo, which is the first of the two, with a very clean tone. Right after that, Stephen added his fiery solo, which follows right after with a more overdriven tone. Finally, Mark stepped back in and added his killer harp solo at the end. Of course, it needed to be mixed and mastered well, too, so we turned to both Mark and Stephen for those important roles, once again, which they fulfilled expertly.  
  This past Tuesday, we released a fun little series of interviews over a compilation of some of our favorite musical moments. If you want to hear our voices and some of our thoughts about music, check it out. I realize it's a big ask at twenty minutes, but you might really enjoy it, especially if you follow us, and have been for a while. It's a celebration of all of our work over the past almost year together in various forms. This song was supposed to be a showcase of all of our skills, except Tez isn't in on this one. He'll be on the next one, though, for sure.
  We hope you enjoy this jazzier side of the EC as much as we enjoyed making it. MD's lyrics are about a psycho killer artist who hides clues about his murders in his paintings. 
Original Lyrics by The Mysterious Decibel:

Some might say he's crafty and planned.

With a shade of black and a brush in his hand
Some might say the world is his oyster
But no Pearl lays inside just a conjuring blur

He'll paint you a murderous scene
With the blending of  sin all between pigments of green
He's a shady fella Who hides behind the canvas!
I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

Will you find it?
The secret
Some freak shit
are you so sure you'll really wanna Keep it ?
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
Ahhh a little secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
It'll haunt your mind like it does him too
He's a swifty one he'll come for you!
The secret
The secret
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?

I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

His art might show
might show
might show
just where he died

A Brush With Death (Eclectic Collective with The Mysterious Decibel)

A sentimental country-ish ballad with a big sad finish.
Dedicated to anyone suffering from memory loss. Thanks for listening.
Lyrics:
I can still remember
Felicia in December
Outside in the cold
Smoking Swisher Sweet Cigarettes
But she would always forget
If you're gonna inhale that shit
You know she always got sick
She'd chewed down the tip

It's like I told you on the phone
My mind is not all my own
All my memories are dissolving
Our nights in Arroyo Park
Out feeling that spark
That Datsun that would never start
My bad Cure haircut (disaster!)
My heart was beating faster
A sketch of a love scene
Painted behind
A gothic old master

I was selfish with my time
And now I seem to lead my life
Conducting orchestras in my mind
Oh, I don't know how this sounds
But sometimes I listen to the ground
To hear and feel the rumblings
I think that you're coming around

All my memories are dissolving
Soon, I'll have no memories of this world
I'll have no memories of this world
So let's go out tonight
And shoot out the lights!
Let's break our hearts tonight
I'll have no memories of this world

I wanted to drop you this line
To thank you for the time
And thank you for being in my life
Thank you for being my life

Let's Break Our Hearts Tonight

Happy Friday to my SC friends. Today’s musical offering is very special to me because it signifies a breaking away from my old patterns. Long story short… old Justin was pretty set in his music making/production routines (solo work belongs on solo albums. Collab work belongs on collab albums. And never the two shall meet). 

But new Justin is proving to be surprisingly more flexible in his thinking; an interesting (I might even go as far as to say… shocking) result of my new paradigm. And while it might seem like a ‘nothing burger’ to most people… the way my brain is wired, this is a huge change… and one I am grateful for.

So today I happily offer my first collab song, also intended for my first hybrid album. The song is called ‘Life In Twilight’… and my guest artist is our dear friend, Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com), offering up the lovely Alto Sax and Guitar you hear in this piece

If you haven’t already crossed paths with Carlos, you are missing out. He is one of the most prolific people I have encountered in my travels. He plays about 30+ instruments, each with impressive skill. And if the instrument doesn’t exist... he creates it himself. And 'musician' is just one aspect of his inspiring and adventurous life. He is a great example of a person who discovered his passions early, and is now living a beautiful life pursuing those passions. We need more people like him in this world, reminding us of what is truly important.

On a personal level, the stuff Carlos has taught me over the years has helped me ease into this new sober life with tremendous grace. The music theory and instrumental lessons have helped make my sonic worlds more sophisticated (and therefore more rewarding to craft). And the moving and breathing meditations (Chi energy exercises) have proven fundamental to my mental/spiritual well being too. Needless to say, he has been a major influence in my evolving life; and I will be forever grateful. 

Carlos, I am honored beyond words that you are the guest artist on my first hybrid album. It signifies a great new direction for me. I’m excited to be on this path, and I’m glad you agreed to join me. 

To everyone else, we hope you enjoy “Life In Twilight”, the first of two new songs with Carlos that will ultimately wrap up my upcoming album “What Color Is Your Paradox?” 

(And yes... this is the last song I still had in the archives from my little break; originally finished on 1/20/2024. It's all going to be new content from here on out). :)

Finding Balance

Vocals & Lyrics by FRAWSTAKWA
https://soundcloud.com/frawstakwa

Produced by Cosmic Keanu

I Am Alive (FRAWSTAKWA & Cosmic Keanu)

This composition consists of three impressions, a small cocktail of different styles

Impressions (For one, two & three guitars)

in a distant solar system, there is a planet unknown to us called kyrak.  it is inhabited by beings way more advanced than us.
they had been attacked many times by another race and the kyrakins had discovered that they were using a black hole as a means of space travel.
after many years of research they developed a weapon that could cause black holes to collapse.  
because of their intense fear and dislike of black holes, they decided to send ships on long range missions to seek out black holes and destroy them!
who knows, when they will come to our galaxy and do the same.

Black hole killer.

ON S'AIME A DEUX

Je t'ai attendue quelques années,
Et puis un jour t'es arrivée
Pour moi une romance
Une belle page de chance.
Soudain tu m'as pris dans tes bras
Et je me sentais très bien là
Je ne serai plus jamais seul
Beaucoup de gens le veulent.
On sait se tenir par la main
Ensemble se faire un chemin
Très loin au bout du monde
Sur cette terre ronde.

Et puis on vit dans le bonheur
Sans maux de cœur
C'est bien d'être heureux
On s'aime à deux.

Regardons tous ces envieux
Qui nous jalousent dans nos beaux jeux
S'aimer c'est peu de dire
Nos vies sont des sourires.
Vivons ainsi jusqu'à toujours
C'est beau d'avoir l'amour
Malgré nos différences
S'éteignent les silences.

Et puis on vit dans le bonheur
Sans maux de cœur
C'est bien d'être heureux
On s'aime à deux.

Les larmes de joie sous nos yeux
Tous les plaisirs qui se font à deux
Que je t'aime mon cœur.
Ma vie est une merveille.
Pour moi tu es la plus belle
Que l'on s'aime mon cœur.
Quand je te regarde magnifique
Mon dieu que le temps passe vite.
Mais tout çà est ainsi
Dans l'âge on se suit bien ensemble
Plus on vieillit on se ressemble
On s'aime à deux.

Et puis on vit dans le bonheur
Sans maux de cœur
C'est bien d'être heureux
On s'aime à deux.
On s'aime à deux.


WE LOVE EACH OTHER

I waited for you for a few years,
And then one day you arrived
For me a romance
A great page of luck.
Suddenly you took me in your arms
And I felt very good there
I will never be alone again
Many people want it.
We know how to hold hands
Together we make a way
Far away at the end of the world
On this round earth.

And then we live in happiness
Without heartache
It's good to be happy
We love each other together.

Let's look at all these envious people
Who envy us in our beautiful games
Loving yourself is an understatement
Our lives are smiles.
Let's live like this forever
It's beautiful to have love
Despite our differences
The silences fade away.

And then we live in happiness
Without heartache
It's good to be happy
We love each other together.

Tears of joy before our eyes
All the pleasures that can be enjoyed together
That I love you my heart.
My life is a marvel.
For me you are the most beautiful
May we love each other my heart.
When I look at you beautiful
My god, time flies.
But that's all it is
In age we follow each other well
The older we get we become more alike
We love each other together.

And then we live in happiness
Without heartache
It's good to be happy
We love each other together.
We love each other together.

CURE ME QUICKLY 

Another night like this
You’d better cure me quickly
Only heaven knows how much you’ll miss me 
Burning fire of pain and people looking away
This time it might be the one that sends us back to the stars and to infinity 

Cure me quickly 
Take aim and make the shot
You will all miss me
I am the only one you’ve got
So cure me quickly 

I’m not sure
Where shall I begin? 
Start with love, hope, dreams, war, with peace or famine?
Tell me are we are on the brink? 
‘Cos I’ve been here too long to let my heart sink 

I am the only one you’ve got

CURE ME QUICKLY


Hello
Hello
Is there anybody there
Can anyone hear me

Hello
Is anybody listening
Sorry, I just, I need to talk
...to somebody
Hello
The pain just won't go away
Everytime I hear noises
I jump and I cry
I can't sleep anymore
But when I wake up
I'm in a ball and I'm shaking
Hello
Is there anybody there
Can anybody hear me

Sorry, I can't do this alone
Sorry, my,my head won't stop ringing 

I just want this to go away

Nobody cares 'bout what's happened to you
Nobody cares when you call
Nobody cares.... at all
Nobody cares when you fall

And she said « Ha ! » you know I'm really so tired
About hearing about your problems  
Just stop calling him
Nobody cares 
About you ! About your problems !

Sorry we can't just keep answering your call
Sorry we just don't really care at all

I'll go away and hide in my hole
and cry somemore....

Recently, I've been thinking about what seems to be a global race to the bottom. Escalating wars and unchecked technologies threaten our future, raising concerns about possible human extinction. I can't claim to have solutions to these dire scenarios, but it's clear our current path isn't sustainable. Perhaps we need a new approach—a Plan "B".
