AN UNINHABITED METROPOLIS ... A POLICE SCANDAL ... TWO PEOPLE WHO SEARCH WITHOUT KNOWING WHO THEY ARE ... THE TENSION, THE FEAR SCANDED BY THE PASSING OF THE INEXORABLE TIME THAT WILL END THIS INTRIGUE.

TIME MACHINE

All Alone

What a picture I have drawn  
I wonder where it all has gone  
There was a time when parties  
Drew the dummies and smarties  
 
Time travelled and with it I went  
Not knowing where I was sent  
But the children have all grown  
And I find myself all alone  
 
Bridge
 
Sometimes I feel so sad
But I know it’s not so bad
Sometimes I feel so forlorn
And wishing that I’d never been born
 
They abound and friends were near  
Now there’s only me alone here  
I didn’t see what was coming  
It was like a leak in the plumbing  
 
I raised a family and did my job  
I never tried to take and rob  
But I’m not down or depressed  
I realize I’ve done my best

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

This song originated with a slower more Jazz oriented track Mark had previously written ('1 For The Money, 3 For The Blues' https://on.soundcloud.com/BtSS4). However, he wanted a more 'suped up' version with solos turns, so he turned to The Eclectic Collective (EC) to fill in the pieces by replacing some of his solos with their own. Mark had some lyrics in mind 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. 

   Once we had a basic structure, Ken, as always, came up with the rhythmic foundation for the song, allowing Josh to add his version of Mark's bass line. Then, after MD gave us the vocals, we got down to adding the solos. As more EC members jumped on board with new parts, Mark kept lengthening the song, moving the solos & vocals around until it's final current arrangement. JJ opens the song with his thrilling piano solo, as well as the electric piano solo where he joins Mark on VST Sax right after the first singing verses. Then Josh added a melodic and very clean toned guitar solo with a very clean tone - the first of the two guitar turns. After that, Stephen added his fiery guitar solo with a more overdriven tone. After one more vocal verse from MD, Mark stepped back in to close it out with his nasty harp solo at the end. After Mark handled the mixing on this song, we turned once again to Stephen to take care of the final sound production and mastering, which he fulfilled expertly.  

  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

Side Note:
This past Tuesday, we released a fun little series of interviews over a 20 minute medley of some of our favorite musical moments. If you want to hear our voices and some of our thoughts about music, check it out! 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 to accompany that medley, except Tez isn't in on this one. He'll be on the next one, though, for sure! 
Thanks for listening!

Mark's Album (post-2020)

'A Brush With Death' Blues (with The Eclectic Collective)

Popthatpussy

You Just can't be calling me conceited 
When I'm just like you while I'm getting drunk high and weeded
Beat it, your false premonitions are defeated
Were breeded by the unknowing mind and you repeat it
This whole damn lifes been betrayal finding bail
Trying to keep myself from overnight in jail
Dulls pale in comparison with my facts of life
And my constant knack to fail want the details?

Want the Details?
Want the Details?

Ill treated since the first day of being made to pay
Being made to lie and cheat and scheme everyday
So I pray no talking shit my way no saying shit my way
Cause I'll have nothing left to say
Ill snap make a neck crack and a vein pop
Never gonna stop Arch Nemesis of a Cop
The cream of the crop who cannot rise to the top
I need an elevator or maybe a motivator

People Hater of the first, second, and third kind
Walking blind, lagging losing steps, falling behind
Rewind, peace of mind no such kind
Letter saying I'm gone was already sealed and signed
Left behind was my will to force and grind
Against a force that's way off course and really not my kind
So ill have no peace and I wont beg please
And I wont drop down in disparity begging on my knees
I remain bold Rather freeze in the cold
Force myself to age prematurely so I die when I'm old
And just fold so I'll die quicker
Life's a habit I had to kick her i downed the liquor
Or is this booze I'm feelin sicker its coming quicker
I see a shining light I see a shining flicker
Dead off the guilt of thinking that's its my fault
This ain't fucking booze it's a bottle of Lysol!

Follow me down follow me way down
Follow me down follow me way down
Follow me down follow me way down
Down into the fucking rabbit hole asshole

Cast of Characters:
The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel –MD-- vocals and lyrics in the choruses
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano, synth sax 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums, acoustic guitar intro, and vocalized tones at the end, verse lyrics and melody, composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, vocals on the verses

This is a song that originated with Ken several months ago. He wrote the whole thing on piano, guitar, and drums and presented it to the rest of the band. Of course, everyone was very excited to add their spin to it. 

Josh added his bass part first, as the foundation. Ken also left his catchy original guitar intro as it was. Then JJ added his dynamic piano part, which ended up being both foundational and stylistic, along with the sax that you hear in there, too. Stephen added his solid foundational guitar to it, too, soon after. Then it sat, stalled out for need of some vocals. Of course, we asked TMD to add some, which he did in grand fashion for the choruses. All that was left were the verses. Ken wrote lyrics, and gave Josh an idea for the melody, so he sang the verses to wrap it up. Of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did so well, as always.

  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.
