Breaking new ground with this rapping style, love that,  all styles need refreshing.

in case you don’t know what to call this...

"Soaring melancholy and  powerful wistfulness...a fab song"
David Quantick

The song is all about someone who can’t sleep because of all the worries racing around their head. But it’s a positive song- the person finds a deep connection with something beyond themselves that lifts them out of the horrible moment.

Another blast from This Elegant Chaos this track was the first single from our second album Magino Line. 
Tells the tale of a  Kaleidoscope relationship that was to dangerous  but some things you just cant get enough of !

A brief history about the band.
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.

Première pensée   (Translated after French text )
Vidéo :  https://youtu.be/NYPOfarT2w0
Texte et chant : Muette
Musique : Alain Illos

Dans le vase de mon cœur
L’amour est à ras bord.
Dans le tien, une fleur
T'offre une nouvelle aurore.
Dans le sol de mon cœur
S’est ouverte une crevasse.
Le tien, d’heure en heure,
Se durcit et se tasse.
Dans la salle de bain
Où j'me rends présentable,
Je n'me trouve plus aimable
Et je te cherche en vain.
Mes yeux n’ont pas compris,
Immobiles dans la glace,
Butés comme des impasses,
Et ce corps inutile...
Quand viendra-t-il ce jour
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton langage,
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton visage,
Où ma première pensée
Sera d'boire un café ?
Je voudrais comme toi
Etre hors la loi d’amour,
Mais je suis condamnée
A te faire vivre toujours.
Je voudrais comme toi
Faire juste un demi-tour
Et t’avoir oublié.
Dis-moi comment tu fais.


First thought

In the vase of my heart
Love is overflowing.
In yours, a flower
Offers you a new dawn.
In the soil of my heart
A crack has opened.
Yours, hour by hour,
Hardens and settles.
In the bathroom
Where I make myself presentable,
I no longer find myself lovable
And I search for you in vain.
My eyes have not understood,
Motionless in the mirror,
Stubborn like dead ends,
And this useless body...
When will that day come
When my first thought
Will not be of you,
When my first thought
Will not be your face,
When my first thought
Will be to drink a coffee?
I would like, like you,
To be outside the law of love,
But I am condemned
To keep you alive forever.
I would like, like you,
To just turn around
And forget you.
Tell me how you do it.

Quoting Statement 052 by Per Bronco Karlsson. The lyrics are a quote from The Employees by Olga Ravn.

Quoting Statement 052

I had left the pastorate in 1985 but many friends remained in the little town of St. Francis, Kansas.  One of them was a woman who found love again after the death of her spouse.  I composed this song for them and officiated their wedding and as far as I know, they lived happily ever after.  
Then came the wedding of my oldest daughter and she requested the song be done for her and Thor (yes, his real name;) That was 27 years ago.  
This past summer, I had suggested the song to Axel and after hearing my rough, 35 year old demo, he loved the song straight away, but wanted to change it up a bit.  The song I had written was done in a more devotional 4/4 meter, he wanted to bring to it the flavor of a Celtic dance.  Enter Mike Fox who gives the lyrics a definitive voice and excellent guitar to the backing track.  I loved the track art Axel had created because it resembled the wedding of my 2nd granddaughter Grace at the end of September, a lovely garden ceremony in Oklahoma City.  It resembles it right down to the kilt another son-in-law wore by request.  They didn't use the song as part of their ceremony, but I dedicate this new version to Grace and Ethan and wish them a lifetime of happiness and fond adventures together.
Thank you Axel and Mike for lavishing your talents on my songwriting efforts.  I am truly honored.  Hear more of their fabulous music creativity @soundcloud.com/axel-m-501052973, and @soundcloud.com/michael-fox-925325997

Gathered--Lyrics:
 What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Bridge:
And it's more than just "tying a knot" and it's more than just getting "hitched"
We're seeing two hearts being sewn together,
We're witnessing it stitch by stitch.
It's the miracle of seeing two become one,
Though the two are really not the same,
Like the paint and the canvas are separate until 
The Artist joins them in a beautiful frame.

Repeat Verse:
What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.
Will bind their hearts to each other and You
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Gathered-A Wedding Song (Axel Menningen, Mike Fox, David Dunham)

Cast of Characters:

Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – acoustic guitar, synth, and composition

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- vocals, lyrics, mix, and production

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless Warwick bass

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano, B3 synth voice, synth sax, and JJ's angels (voice synth)

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– master and production

This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.

Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning.
The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.

Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.

This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind

there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind

how could I have been so blind?

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me

it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea

the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home

the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown

on their own

“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play”

our leaders assured us we’d never go poor

and nobody questions the truth anymore

but what did we do it all for?

Our science sustains us like fine works of art

but are we closer together or farther apart?

we’re each on an island alone on the sea

the ocean between us expands rapidly

is this where we wanted to be?

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me

it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be

machines tried to help us but something went wrong

the future we wanted was here all along

The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind

there were words left unsaid…

Lou
He started it off —Turn it up kept it low-key 
It’s that Lou Osiavo the unsolved mystery￼

——
Osiavo
grown man ish spoken with
a tone deep and low it dips
down into even another

Lou
Didn’t expect it to go down like this 
but it’s done now 
gotta say along the way it’s been lotta fun￼

——
Osiavo

colloquialisms aside don’t trip
theres still a lot to discover

Lou
Step it up —leveled up 
don’t bring it if it’s lame

——
Osiavo

PART 2-------borrowed time

——

Osiavo
how much time might we have left?
any inclinations?
we could try to surmise yet
practice having patience
finally at last let’s
challenge limitations
of the mind conduct lab tests
give recommendations

Lou 
we do it our way everyday no matter the challenge 
self coaching and motivated to retain that mental balance 
we make our own path consistently trailblazing 
style and techniques here simply amazing￼

——

Osiavo
we never will know the extent of the flow
how far it will go
we only will know if we gave it our all
or gave up on it bro
I’m giving my word right now to the world
to continue to grow
for as long as I’ve got on this rock as it rolls
throughout the cosmos

Lou
We stay committed cause hip-hop is our mission 
Art To The Verse to us is a real religion 
we vibe to the beat relieving stress and tension 
always in crisis mode in case I didn’t mention 
surviving on the front line 
waiting for the next sign
living on borrowed time￼￼

You better off batting the devil step aside 
always pushing to the next level out of pride 
pay attention as things unravel others tried 
as for freedom on this blue rock I don’t hide 
Listen up and catch the vibe felt worldwide 
Still underground—nonstop that’s bonafide 
See the rules of engagement just don’t apply
Check out My haters in amazement still tongue tied
And for the fam —entertainment—-I just leave them satisfied 

In-case you don’t know what to call it—It’s just a “Touch Of Heat”
IPG1 on the mic R.K.M. On the beat

Without a doubt we keep you moving with the sounds we’re bumping 
session after session sound so sweet
Yeah!—R.K.M let’s call this one “Touch Of Heat”

Catch you today or I’ll catch you tomorrow 
bet your bottom dollar even if you have to borrow 
pull it out your pockets so some money or support bro 
nothing but net it’s a slam dunk not a free-throw!
