  This is the first track of many that I had the privilege of doing with Neekoo! Very happy with the way that it turned out. It was so fun to do something outside of what I normally do. Something a bit more positive and on the upbeat side of things. I'm proud of the hard work that we both put in on this song, and it definitely shows. Hope you all enjoyed this one as much as we enjoyed making it! Keep your head up, keep your heart up and boogie on!

Day Dreamer - Neekoo and Professor ECS

Cast of Characters:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – foundational acoustic and electric guitars, distorted electric guitar, and the seed idea

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– 5-string banjo solo, electric guitar

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began its life as a hauntingly exquisite guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also stacked a couple of other guitar tracks in there for good measure. 

Ken was first up, adding his drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. 

Mark came in around the same time, though, and added his unique, Waitsian vocals with the lyrics that he wrote for it, too. He also added some really amazing organ parts, a toy piano which you can hear right after the banjo solo, and percussion that add a solid foundation for his voice and add magic throughout the song. 

Stephen followed shortly after with the big stroke guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear in there, too. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his organ and electric piano to seal the deal with the melodies and ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool sound effects you hear throughout, too.

  Every great song needs a great producer, and Mark filled the duty on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team.

  This one is an homage to Tom Waits in a deliberate way. We're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
A little like a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hangin’ it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone

Me and Bill rolling bones in a gambling hall 
I threw snake eyes but Bill counted three
I took his accusation just a little too far 
Then everybody went quiet as they stared at me

Now the finger bone’s connected to the trigger
And the hand bone’s connected to me
And every day my secret’s gettin’ bigger
Soon enough I’ll be swinging from a tree

Coz I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
I done made a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hiding it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone
(repeat)

Sundrops and Rainshine

Autumn
My favourite season, where the climate is mild although there are sudden storms of rain and wind followed by calm and gentle breezes, where the landscapes are filled with colour and beauty and where fruits such as walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, mushrooms are harvested…
I have tried to represent with music the different states that we find in this season and in my opinion, I think I have succeeded.

Otoño
Mi estación preferida, donde el clima es suave aunque se desatan repentinas tempestades de lluvia y viento seguidas de calma y suaves brisas, donde los paisajes se llenan de color y hermosura y se recolectan frutos como nueces, castañas, avellanas, setas…
He intentado representar con música los diferentes estados que encontramos en esta estación y en mi opinión, creo que lo he conseguido.

Sinfonía No. 5

Sinf. No. 5- Mov. III - Autumn

This is a brand new song that I wrote with Lillian Mareddy last week. It's a rock break-up song from the guys point-of-view. Great lyrics by Lilly with a nice groovy riff by me. A good rock singer could have a hit with one! The video, which looks fantastic btw, will drop on Nov 6th on YouTube.

  I don't know why but every time Lilly send me a lyric, I want to rock out with it! I'll be writing more ballads with her in the future. So this is for all you guys out there that are "Free To Fly" or think you're "Free To Fly"! Let's be real!😂👍😎✌🏼

“FREE TO FLY”

I DON’T GO OUT HOPING TO SEE YOUR FACE,
IN THE SAME OLD BAR, THAT SAME OLD PLACE,
AIN’T NO COLD SIDE OF THE BED FOR ME,
NO EMPTY BOTTLE OF HENNESSY, OH, OH, OH,             
     
I DON’T MISS YOUR VOICE ON THE OTHER LINE,
I’M NOT SITTIN’ AROUND WASTING MY TIME, 
AIN’T GONNA WAKE UP AND START TO WEEP, 
YOUR FACE DOESN’T HAUNT ME WHEN I SLEEP, NO, NO,

BECAUSE THERE AIN’T NEVER BEEN A YOU, YOU, YOU,
NO HEARTBREAK I’VE EVER BEEN THROUGH, THROUGH, THROUGH,
AND I DON’T NEED ANOTHER ROUND, ROUND, ROUND,  
DON’T HAVE A MEMORY TO DROWN, DROWN, DROWN,
NO HEARTBREAK FOR ME,
CAUSE I’M FREE TO FLY,
     
NOW I’M DOING FINE, IT AIN’T NO LIE,
NOBODY EVER MADE MY DUMB-ASS CRY,
NEVER BEEN ONE TO LET LOVE GET ME DOWN,
I AIN’T FEELIN’ BAD CAUSE YOU AIN’T AROUND, NO, NO,

[LEAD]

BECAUSE THERE AIN’T NEVER BEEN A YOU, YOU, YOU,
NO HEARTBREAK I’VE EVER BEEN THROUGH, THROUGH, THROUGH,
AND I DON’T NEED ANOTHER ROUND, ROUND, ROUND,  
DON’T HAVE A MEMORY TO DROWN, DROWN, DROWN,
NO HEARTBREAK FOR ME,
CAUSE I’M FREE TO FLY,
FREE TO FLY, FREE TO FLY, FREE TO FLY, FLY, FLY,
I’M FREE TO FLY,   
FREE TO FLY, FREE TO FLY, FREE TO FLY, FLY, FLY,
I’M FREE TO FLY.
