Commander Fullyard's Electric Harem

It’s a beautiful mess- this dreaming up life
We’re falling like stars- into each other’s sky’s
Everybody’s gotta have- a reason to shine
Who knows maybe yours- is just like mine

We all try to find reasons why
For the seasons and our fates
And how they intertwine with lines we write in story’s we create 
And I couldn’t find a better friend to roll on down the line….
A great life’s a long goodbye

Life aint no test, pass or fail
So many times we fly off the rail
And sometimes it aint easy, but we aint wasting our lives
Because if we can stick together, it’ll be alright -Alright Yeah
Let loving in!

We all try find the reasons why
For the seasons and our fates
And how they intertwine with lines we write in the story’s we create 
And I couldn’t find a better friend to roll on down the line….
A great life’s a long goodbye

It’s a beautiful mess
It’s a crazy damn life
We’re all stars
In someone else’s sky

We all try find reasons why
For the seasons and our fates
And how they intertwine with lines we write in the story’s we create 
And I couldn’t find a better friend to roll on down the line, Yeah-yeah, we’re gonna rock it-rock it, rock and roll it

We’ll never say goodbye

A great life’s a long goodbye
A great life’s a long goodbye
A great life’s a long goodbye
A great life’s a long
A great life’s a long
Goodbye

A Great Life's A Long Goodbye

Collab with Her Musical Highness Damga, based on a sequence of melancholic chords and an Electric Piano bridge.
Lyrics:
"Waves of Isolation, I sink in the ocean of your venomous dreams.
In the cold dark water, I wake up to the beauty of your abyss.
There is a shark looming from the depth. 
My lateral line sense its fluid moves, as I crave for his kiss.

Waves of evolution, I emerge from the amniotic fluid of time.
I walk on the primordial sea shore, toward the dereliction of dawn.
Your crawling monsters follow my footprints on the dark sand.
I cherish my last scales and the iridescent mark they’ve drawn.

Waves of civilization, the ancient realm rise from the ground.
I ride the marble streets followed by soldiers and priests.
The glory of my victorious spear shines in the dawn of civilization.
Following my undefeated army, come the prisoners and the beasts.

Waves of emotion, I shiver under your photonic chords
Lost in the maze of counterpoints, I behold the astral serenity  of your hymn.
Sensual melodies electrify my spine and linger on my lips
I bite in the flesh of sounds, bath in the fragrance of rhythms

Waves of sublimation, triumphant and aroused, I wake up from your dream.
Your body besides me is warm and still,  gently breathing in a silver slumber.
I curl up in your warm naked strength and savor the scent of your skin.
An the night flowers, heavy with dew, weep for desire, drop by drop silently."

Quantum theory brilliantly explains the physical universe. But the certainty of every quantum state is dependent on an "observer" and physicists are wrestling with what that means: Consciousness is the foundation and source of everything. 

And quantum theory cannot explain consciousness any more than it can explain love, the perception of color or sound, or the taste of chocolate. Because consciousness (or spirit) creates the physical universe, not the other way around.

Lyrics:

Super Colliders

I'm no friend of quantum mechanics
Not afraid of super colliders
I could barely pass mathematics
But I knew that I was on fire
And I knew you were to me
More than just matter energy
And I'm going to have to find the answer

But when I sought the implicate order
The wave collapsed into water
And I know you don't want to hear it:
Underneath it all we are spirit
A voice is whispering in the ear of Mr. Verlinde:
Four universes remain chaotic

Now they find the conscious mind is driving everything
I confess this consciousness once heard the angels sing
I'll make it back to heaven's gate winding a golden string
And smile at the absurdity when I should be laughing

I'm no friend of quantum mechanics
Not afraid of super colliders
Done my share of mental gymnastics
But my heart keeps taking me higher
The gravity of it all is emerging as we fall
The irony is not lost on me

Now they find the conscious mind is driving everything
I confess this consciousness once heard the angels sing
I'll make it back to heaven's gate winding a golden string
And smile at the absurdity when I should be laughing

I'm no friend of quantum mechanics
Not afraid of super colliders

Down At The Rec

Finding inspiration in the city pop artwork of Hiroshi Nagai, the music of Jamie xx and the family's old Dire Straits records.

It's also a track inspired by cinema - films such as Bonnie & Clyde and Heat and of course the latest trailer for GTA 6!

Enjoy the ride.

The Heat

Alchemical [Fusion] is a haunting progressive rock epic that conjures the eerie specter of nuclear annihilation. The song's narrative is woven from the words of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who famously declared "I am become Death, destroyer of worlds" as he witnessed the first atomic blast. The track's haunting harmonies and driving rhythms evoke the apocalyptic consequences of nuclear war, as eerie audio clips from Harry Truman's announcement of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki eerily underscore the song's themes. Through a maelstrom of soaring guitar solos and pounding drumbeats, "Alechmical [Fusion]" probes the dark heart of humanity's most devastating creation, leaving the listener to ponder the devastating consequences of our destructive potential.

Alchemical [Fusion]

Echo chamber, You're living in an Echo chamber
Echo chamber, You're living in an Echo chamber

You used to get in your car and you’d listen to nineties grunge
But now you turn on talk radio and you absorb it like a sponge
There’s a guy on cable news who says the things 
you were afraid to say out loud
But now you shout them out in polite company
and it makes you feel so proud.

Living in an echo chamber surrounded by people who agree with you
And you’re not interested in hearing any other point view
You used to believe that issues were grey
 but now you see things in black and white
You used to live and let be but now you just want to fight

You say cut taxes for the rich and it’ll trickle down to you and me
And when they sing the national anthem, you’d better not take the knee
You think electric cars are foolish and gas stoves are your God given right
And when you turn on your lamp to read Atlas Shrugged it better be an incandescent light 

Every single second of every single day
you’re walking around muttering that things are not okay
The pundits on the cable news
 say we’ve reached the point of no return
We’re in a downward spiral 
and we’re goanna crash and burn

Living in an echo chamber surrounded by people who agree with you
And you’re not interested in hearing any other point view
You used to believe that issues were grey 
but now you see things in black and white
You used to live and let be but now you just want to fight

Echo chamber, You're living in an Echo chamber
Echo chamber, You're living in an Echo chamber

LYRICS:
Encore un jour qui se lève, une nouvelle journée 
Le soleil se réveille sur un autre day 
D’une nuit brève et sans rêve 

Encore un soir où lorsque la lune sera montée  
De tous les bords de ma vie rien n’aura bougé 
Je le sais, just another day 

Maybe one day I will go away pour enfin me trouver
Maybe someday I will find the faith pour ne plus me cacher 

Je regarde ma guitare posée là, figée 
Puis cette page restée blanche de mots évaporés 
Anyway, is there something left to say?

Comment pourrai-je ne pas laisser tout s effacer?
Comment pourrai-je à nouveau sentir mon cœur vibrer?

Across the miles through time and space 
I will chase the Melodies i can retrace 

Today today today, just another day, just another day.

Just Another Day DWP remix

Some new acoustic guitar stuff is under construction, but meanwhile here’s a very different beast, called 'Relentless'. About the relentless assembly line of life.

Relentless

A soundscape describing a WW2 air raid. Nothing jingoistic here, it's meant to describe the horror and twisted logic of 'total war' and how it destroys the line between civilians and soldiers.

"A Love Like No Other"

Recollections of flowing memories from when you entered my life
Your long black flowing hair & those beckoning eyes that still call me
It was obvious that we were never through which is why I returned
And in this world, who could ever say they knew of romance like this?
A Love Like No Other

Am deeply sorry for the pain I caused from an addiction that destroyed me
You were always the one & I struggled to cope with all I could not say
As time slowly passes by, I know in my heart you will be back in my arms one day
A Love Like No Other, a girl that gave me a reason to smile
A Love Like No Other, the connection of two souls that become one

Shane Beck (The Last American Poet)

GREATEST HITS

I’m blowin’ notes streetside in a horn section   
Blown garbage and coppered boots all gone tangling. 
You’re Bixby’s Bridge above Kerouac’s canyon.  
Way above the ruts in your trending fashion      

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits.    
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
Falling vacant down a slip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary - humanity

You’re all coiff n pressed jeans uber-reaching
Gripping on to a scene and about it beseeching
You’re jetting over Miller’s Big Sur resident shack
History is nothing but a scratch on your back

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
A eureka moment guilt trip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary – humanity

What was I just a birthright the right side of the tracks
But egalitarian ideas caught you in a trap
Trying to show a social conscience don’t come naturally
Such a handbrake on life’s beckoning verdant tapestry

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .

Lyrics: 
Off the top ———-is where it’s at unwrap this —————-gift RAP hitting the streets—-it’s ——pure crack Stone cold —-this trap ——TRACK! Pool of knowledge ——-untapped going —-in —-hard——we do that  Better —-tighten up —-them bootstraps  ———SAY-——-“what the hell ——did Lou snap!!!” swag baby —-The recap  no snags—nah—we stop that!!!
Break the game down--it's a new map Flow so rich--- better check that NASDAQ Eyes on the prize---go the full lap concrete jungle---stuck in the trap
[Verse] From the alleys to the skyline---watch us elevate Living large in the boroughs where we demonstrate Every word a heavy weight--- every rhyme we detonate New York state of mind---watch the Empire State
We on a mission---ain't no intermission, snap back Murals on the walls--- street art on the subway track Ambition in the air, we the kings--- claim the throne Spittin' bars like bullets--- in this zone--- we at home
Icons of the asphalt--- legends in the flesh Droppin' beats so heavy--it’s poundin' in your chest From the 5 boroughs, anthems——- on full blast Queens to the Bronx-- Brooklyn —-movin' fast Elevate the hustle---the spirit never cracks Struggle in the verses —-resilience in the—— tracks

UNTAPPED feat. IPG1

this track is really just revisiting an older tune from around 2022 that started off with just the opening electric piano part, and experimented with different synth pads and an arpeggiator. The updated version adds a few newer synth sounds to the mix. It's really still fairly experimental, and I may try another alternate version at some point.

Déclin

Vidéo : https://youtu.be/RVOcoq2FZPA

Texte : Sanzen
Chant : Baie des Anges
Musique : Alain Illos

J'ai retrouvé le goût, 
la force de vouloir.
 Revenu des confins, 
des ciels brouillés...

Voleur de mots,
je me suis enfui
En quête de fleurs rares, 
de plages où je languis.

Et j'invente un pays
qui me ressemble.
Fait de soleil et d'océan. 
De parfums qui embaument

J'ajoute mes mots,
aux voix qui psalmodient. 
Enfin, je sens ce que je suis.
 La divine comédie...

Et j'invente une vie 
qui me ressemble, 
un paradis.

Revenu des confins,
voleur de mots, amoureux... 
Je sais qu'il est trop tard,
 pour être heureux.

Et mon âme en déclin 
et mon coeur fatigué. 
Et les soleils mouillés
 et les plus rares fleurs

Et j'invente une vie 
qui me ressemble,
un paradis.
Voleur de mots, 
enchantent mon âme...

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 with his magical keys a chord structure and arrangement. 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 about the 1:40 mark, when Tez takes over. In addition, Stephen also laid down some really trippy sitar in the break section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos, which you hear 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 and recorded a cool poem he had written on his refigerator with word magnets more than a decade ago, captured with a picture, and added to for the this song. The poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe. The girl's voice you hear echoing him is his daughter, for whom he originally composed it, in her first appearance with the EC. 

  The song was now finished, except for Mark using his masterful production skills to trim and move a few things. After he made those adjustments on, he threw a mix on 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 is a song written truly as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to is 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

Alte Tante Acid

In the distant Subert Humlin, Gory Rallagher, Sank Frinatra, and Dats Fomino Galaxies, Her Majesty's Royal Intergalactic Empire is under siege by the sinister Khazargonians and their elite squads of shock troopers- the Jearl Pamians and Goundsardenians. Her Majesty has commissioned an elite force led by her three of Her Majesty's Space Navy's finest officers with several primary objectives, chief among them was the following directive: to combine the great tones of surf and fifties rock... with disco!
These elite officers are:  Admiral Krank of the SS Belgrade (Guitar, bass, beats, intergalactic espionage and assassination by exploding cigars); and Captain Mirth of the SS Zagreb- (Guitar, piano, synth, beats, and advanced thermal detonation). And our very own clockwork man on the drums, Mo Sheen (https://soundcloud.com/user-424452711).  Unfortunately, despite bravely serving Her Majesty's Space Navy, Vice Commandant Dubois has been court martialed and convicted for conduct not befitting an officer and counterfeiting baseball cards, stripped of his command of the SS Budapest, and dishonorably discharged from Her Majesty's Space Navy, though certain recordings of his guitar, synth, bass, beats, and forward deployable laser blasters remain here memorialized for posterity. Let it be known that though he has sunk to the very depths of ignominy, we wish him well in his new venture, the Spandex Spanktroverse.
