Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS SE semi-hollow body electric guitar, vocals, and lyrics

This song began with Chris composing it with his synth, guitar, drum pad and bass. Like many of his songs, it was pretty well formed before the rest of the group got a hold of it. This song was part of a load of songs he shared with the rest of Eclectic Collective all at once. We've been picking them off one by one, though, as we're always grateful to Chris for sharing his magic with us.
  The odd sound of the rhythmic melody, which uses chromatic walks, immediately caught Josh's ears. It struck him as something the Doors might have come up with. So, he set about replacing Chris' simple bass line with something fancier, as well as coming up with the lead guitar for the whole thing, and the lyrics and vocals, as well. Josh was really taken with this one, and heard all kinds of parts in it almost immediately. Ken went to bat next, adding his innovative, John Densmore-like drums to it, replacing Chris' initial rhythmic idea. JJ came next and added the essential piano you hear throughout. After that, Mark found a place for his amazing bassoon/harpsicord solo in the middle. But before it was all over, Chris also added some doubled vocals, too, to actualize the lyrics, which are about two friends taking an acid trip together. 
  After it was all laid down, we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did in his expert fashion, as always.
  This is our latest song composed by Chris, and we love working on his music. If you dig this, you should pay his page a visit, too, as it's full of diamonds. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

You Are Also Me - The Eclectic Collective

Vital Signs

Vital to mind
Whats the kind
Will it be friendly
Or of a hostile find
To be or not to be
To tilt or to absorb
Mirroring good glee
Or projecting our bad blood

Vital we see
A universe as me
Willingfully
Aww be brain of free
A vital peruse
The cosmos as we choose
Vital to know
How mind controls the show

The body a window
To the portal of conscience
Nobody of flow
Fortune teller of nonsense
Most makes no sense
The filter finds skill
Sieving the junk
Empowering the thrill

Each decision thats made
Finds a world good or bad
Precision of wisdom
In time mutes more mad
Experience honed
Meditation of mind
Less of that phone
Find more of your true kind

You are the universe
The universe is you
You do become it
Too it becomes you
Controller of entropy
When being of brave
When sanity found
Next children you save
 
Vitality found
Balanced pleasure and pain
Thoughts don't become stuck
Controlling your frame
Escape not addiction
Just love for it all
The truest affliction
Celestial enthral

This song attempts to pay homage to a side I've only learned of Albert Einstein recently enough and that is his interest in consciousness and us psychologically. Although it's obviously not what he's most famous for he seems to attribute some of his most important truths to your mindset and that the universe unfurls itself whatever way that mindset is and by the mood of what it absorbs and projects. I'm probably filling in some gaps there...

"The most important decision you will make in your life is whether you live in a hostile universe or not" Albert Einstein

I feel given the prevalence of so many conspiracy theories most likely confirming the hostilty in peoples heads and in turn those people finding that via their self honed internet algorithms, maybe a good few of us could do with learning that possible truth about our heads. His hunch is kind of confirmed by modern neuroscience and psychology with the discovery of how we actually rewire our brains via neuroplasticity
and we can effectiviely train mindsets in and out of ourselves. Most of the bias ones just make it in their the same way even if their grounding can be questionable such as conspiratorial thinking

Thanks Einstein you genius you!

The "To be or not to be" is a reference to the Shakespeare character Hamlet, where Hamlet ponders how death may be preferable to his suffering, yet for the fear of what lies beyond in the afterlife or lack of a life after death. I think the fallibility we show in the fear of death is fascinating and personally where I think we have evolved the ideas of god and heaven and hell etc... I wonder will we only truly find a proper understanding of empathy for ourselves and each-other when we transcend those fears and start living for life as opposed to generating unprovable realities to look forward to beyond the lights getting switched off permanently.

The pic is my amateur attempt at recording the aurora borealis when it was visible from Ireland earlier on this year for the first time in my life. My most interesting memory of it is what was visible by the naked eye and the phone camera was pretty noticeable and showed me clearly the spectrums we don't see around us all the time quite clearly. The phone picked up the wave lengths much more clearly then my eyes it seems...

A new track I am currently working on. 

I will be updating and expanding this.

Hope you enjoy it

Reminiscence (Early Demo)

Cast of Characters:
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals, lyrics, acoustic guitar and composition
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST strings and mellotron 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – upright double bass, plucked and bowed
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar and e-bow
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering
 
Carl came up with this song at the beginning of November on his acoustic guitar, and shared it with the rest of us shortly after. Carl is a songwriting supernova, in case you're unfamiliar with our newest addition to the team. We're always excited and grateful to get to work on his music. 
  Mark was first to add his parts, although he tweaked them throughout the process. His work can be heard in the dramatic string arrangement and mellotron at the crescendo. Josh was next to jump in, adding his new upright bass to the song. He played not only the plucked part, but the bowed part in the strings section, too. Ken came along next with his perfect drums to complete the rhythm section. JJ wanted in on this, too, so he added the foundational piano you hear throughout. Last, but not least, Stephen dropped in his electrifying guitar solo and the accompanying e-bow texture parts you hear toward the end. 
  Once it was all in the bag, we asked Tez to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This is our latest song of which Carl is the author. He's been making music with us for the past half a year now, and we can't get enough of his abundant creativity. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Leave Out The Names - The Eclectic Collective

Alone in the Crowd

As of today, it's been exactly ten years since I first started a co-writing partnership with my friend Liam, and today we finished our latest composition. The composition is named in honor of the free software Finale Notepad, which Liam and I used to use for all of our co-writing. Finale's being phased out, perhaps due to the popularity of Musescore. We wrote this one in Finale, like in the old days, as a farewell to the software we got started with.

Written by exchanging a file by email, with each of us writing eight measures at a time. Hope you enjoy!

Also, Carl had this to say about his lyrics, "Labels and putting each other in a particular box is causing big problems on the planet. The song's meaning is born from trying to take labels out of our lessons. In a polarized world, the song pines how we will likely learn lessons properly if we leave ego out of what we are trying to learn. Maybe our art has more relevance for future generations if we do that instead of bolting it to the current people or ideas causing us problems."
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Let's play cards
You lying runt
Word poker perfect
A joker to hunt
Motor makeup mouth
Dadless brain itched
Our sith can shout
Cycle of old child bewitched

Leave out the names
Remove their power
Lessons find refrain
Fake turned to flower

All liars die
'As honest tongue
Dinnseanchas signs our true right and wrong
Transmutation
Time understood
Truth trump card for hate
More blossomed love

Leave out the names
Teach tomorrow's hour
Lessons find refrain
Pure honest power

Lies from power
Carry hidden agenda
Justice can save us from these malady members
Unless they break our sacred norms
They've changed the game with iron fisted porn

Leave out the names
Control our stream
Lessons mute ego
Brutes turn to dream

The system protects us from crazy one
One system collective
Agreement by sum
Normals described
Standards of power
Transmutation of evil
Never named gives real flower

Let's label our love
Let's teach that today
Let lessons of dove
Show us our way

Leave out the names
Remove their power
Lessons find refrain
Fake turned to flower

Leave out the names
Teach tomorrow hour
Lessons find refrain
Pure honest power

Leave Out the Names (Eclectic Collective)

she sees how i see
i cant wait to fool around with you
i cant wait to fool around
i cant wait to fool around with you
i cant wait to fool around
i cant wait to fool around with you

she sees what i see
she cant wait to catch another fleet 
she feels how i feel
even listens to my hardest pleas

i cant wait to fool around
i cant wait to fool around with you

even when were feeling down
i cant wait to fool around with you

i see the way you love me 
can you tell me true
i just want your love T
and its all on you
when its all blown over
can you sit me down ?
hope its never over 
i love your every sound

i do
oh i do
oh i do
yes i do
oh i do
yes i do
oh i do
every single sound 
every single sound you make 
every sound 
every single breath you take x2
