This is the 3rd collaboration with my old friend Synline (@synline). I created a basic track using his equipment in his studio, and he completed it with his excellent arrangement (includes creating additional sections, tracks, etc.) and mastering work.

Moves like the ocean

Bolero's sands ✞*:･

I wanted to create a different kind of track. Something that had a different feel and vibe than my usual dark and brooding sound. I decided to learn to play a few piano chords and this whole track came together organically from those 4 chords. My vocal tone isn't quite back to normal yet but I'm personally diggin it on this track. As usual all lyrics, vocals, music and production all done by this guy. I hope you feel it and enjoy. 

She wants a love song
The feeling of love is so foreign to me
She wants a love song
Repeatedly her words just tore into me
She wants a love song
I told her that I never felt this way
She wants a love song
I'm always trying to run 
But with her I'm trying to stay
She wants a love song

We wanted what we could not have
We separated ends of the earth
And now we've gotten what we could not have
A thousand days have passed
And we still cant quench the thirst
Everything  you always were
Everything I am
Everything we're going to be
We weather together

I don't do love songs
I'm always hating at the end of mine
I don't do love songs
Too many women speaking venom 
And straight messing with my mind
I don't do love songs
That's why it hits me any minute 
Anytime of the day
I just wanna love you 
In my own kind of way

You pulled me from the brink...pulled me from the brink

You question just how deep I go for you
And you question just how much I'm loving you
You can question every goddamn thing
Question every goddamn thing
You can question every goddamn thing
But just
Just don't question us
We wanted what we could not have
We separated to the ends of the earth
And now we've gotten what we could not have 
And we are together 
It's a new life rebirth
She wants a love song
I don't do love songs

She wants a love song

Composition – The Eclectic Collective
This song started in probably the most effective way our group writes them. Ken had a spectacular drum beat that was unused in a previous project, so JJ composed and recorded  a chord arrangement with his magical keys. Once we had a beat and a chord structure, Josh came along and added his foundational bass. 
     Now that the rhythm section was complete and the chord structure was in place, Stephen added his unique melody line that you hear at the beginning and every other verse on his magic banjo. He also plays all the initial guitar until around 1:40, where Tez takes over. Stephen also added some really trippy sitar in the vocal section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos from about 1:40 on, eventually building up to a crescendo towards the end. 
     Once we had all the music down, we realized that we had a big gap in the bridge without much going on in it. So, Mark came through with an old poem he had written on his fridge with word magnets for his daughter more than a decade ago, and expanded on it for this song. (the poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe) The young girl's voice you hear echoing Mark's filtered voice is his daughter, in her first appearance with the EC. 
     The song was now finished, except for Mark using his production skills to trim and move a few things, then mix it. While we usually defer to Tez or Stephen for the mix, Mark did such a great job, we decided to keep his mix. Stephen did, however master and EQ it to make it a finished product. 
     This song was truly put together as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by Mistermark:  

The moon flickers on
and rises and dances
across a celestial stage
as dreamers paint the pixels of their mind 
like an infinite canvas 

Sleep away tiny egg
and leave a delicate thread 
of memory behind 
but never log out 
you are in the elaborate web
always
