Una Reina

Words and Music Dave Rose.
A slow blues tempo for the current situation we find ourselves in.
Bit of a dodgy vocal unfortunately, I might do it again.
Headphones essential 🎧
Lyrics
How’ve we let it get to this, it really seems ridiculous 
These gangsters criminals fanatics and lunatics 
Drag us into the abyss 

So tonight let’s just put that all aside and let the music play 
And if this should be the last song for you and me
Then let’s just sway

Or am I just being pessimistic should I be more optimistic 
And maybe I’ll see that history won’t simply be repeating itself 

So tonight let’s just put that all aside and let the music play 
And if this should be the last song for you and me
Let’s just sway….

But the moon 🌙 still turns the tides
And day follows night
We awake to find a brand new day 
And this doesn’t have to be the last song
And life still goes on 
Life still goes on…….

The Last Song

Taken from the forthcoming album: My Sweetheart The Liar

A song about the vultures circling and waiting to pick at the carcass of a dead relationship. 

Did you know: Vultures have evolved strong immune systems and highly acidic stomachs that allow them to eat decaying flesh without getting sick from the harmful bacteria and pathogens present in it.

Every day is a school day. I'm happy to learn and learn from my mistakes.

LYRICS:
So look out Mr Waiting In The Wing
Desperately trying to type the right thing
Waiting on your big chance
With her second hand romance
You circle like a vulture
You hover and you linger
And drum impatient fingers
On keys of plastic and ivory

It's just a warning

So look out Mr Waiting In The Wing
You think you're going to be an exception
To her deceitful ways
Questioning everything she says
And will she ever attest
You're always going to be second best
To a ghost on a pedestal
That haunts her lonely final days

It's just  a warning

There's addiction she has to feed
Should she desire, should she need to
Enjoy it while it lasts
You're never going far
Don't ignore red flags
She'll look you in the eyes
And never think twice while she's spinning lies
Don't rush and don't move too fast
You've gotta dig deep, don't ignore her past

Do you think you can trust this woman?
Do you think you can change her?
Do you think you can trust this women?
Do you think you can tame her?

She's not trustworthy
No accountability

Do you think you can trust this woman?
Do you think you can change her?
Do you think you can trust this women?
Do you think you can tame her?

Mr Waiting In The Wing

This song began more than a year ago, when Josh created a song out of a looper beat with his four string fretless bass. It sat on the shelf until a few weeks ago, when he shared it with JJ, who was in creative mode one Saturday evening. Josh had actually forgotten that he'd added a bass line to it, and thought he was just passing on a looper beat for JJ to play with.
However, JJ heard it, and was so excited that added his magical electric piano part, making it sound like a real song, instead of just drums and a bass. Ken also heard some magic in here, because he came up with his own brilliant beat to replace the looper that was used in for the seed. Mark was next to throw in, adding the striking drum pattern breakdown, and the thrilling flute solo, as well. Tez came in shortly after, adding his thrilling guitar to the mix. After everyone had added their parts, Josh came back and added two guitar parts, the simple low end line, as well as the high strummed triads. At this stage, Mark did some editing, as it is in his skill set, and made it less dense and easier to listen to.
Now that the song was musically complete, out newest member, Carl, dropped the amazing vocals you hear, singing his original lyrics. After Carl was done sprinkling his magic in it, we needed an able producer to bring out the magic of the recordings. Good thing we have a trained producer to do the job in Stephen, who mixed and mastered it superbly, as always.
This is Eclectic Collective's first fore into the afrobeat genre, although a few of us are really big fans already, and Josh has a few other originals in this genre buried on his page, as well. As always, we all enjoyed the process of hearing this one come together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Juice our Jah
Chalice of chime
Shooting star
Great rhythm
There's blood in the brine

Suture Sun
Grand heaven high
'Some clan gone cruel
Needing collective eye

Eclectic host
Hoist our hale
Mused healing feast
Musical breeze as gale

Afro beat
Oh melody sweet
Beat afro
Show us where to go

Star crossed lovers with an arson problem. A mini musical movie about lovers on the run...
Added to the album: "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept  2025)

(Act 1: Young lovers on an arson spree)
Lyrics:
She puts the gasoline in my truck
And then we drive down
And we like to burn up
Local buildings
And alleys
And trashcans

She likes to come out with me at night
And burn things down
She can't explain it
It's just how she feels
It's what see needs
Simultaneous release
While burning down the Hardee's (a USA restaurant chain)

We got black magic spells right off the shelf
I have a split personality
And I hate Ourselves
We have  a compulsion
To  blow things up
It's all fucked up
Young arsonists in love
Young Arsonists in love (3X)

We have black magic spells
Right off the shelf
The good ones are mixed in
So it makes it hard to tell
We understanding the poetry
Of burning things up
Burning shit up
All fucked up
Young arsonists in love
(End Act 1)


(Act 2 : Chase and capture)
Young arsonists in love (3X)
We're on the run
She says: let's burn down a Chevron

We have black magic spells right off the shelf
The Doctors say we seem alright
But you know that we can't be helped
The Police ask: Is this behavior carnal?
"Officer"
She said:
"Have you forgotten how to marvel?"
Forgotten how to marvel?

Another post where I've isolated one instrument track from a previously uploaded song, in this case the clavinet track from the song "Most of the Time (Funk in 7/8)". I've also included the drum track, and a bit of the electric piano from the original full recording. 

Here's a link to the full version:

Cast of Characters:

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – Yamaha Genos 2 Synthesizer

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

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

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering

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

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- ovation acoustic guitar, vocals, and lyrics

This song began in Artur's jam room at his house, where he creates all of his amazing music on his Fender Jaguar, which is perfect for the surf sound, at which he's a master. He shared it with Josh, who shared it with the group.
 
  Before Josh could lay down a bass part to it, though, JJ came up with his elegantly moody synth and laid it down. The rhythm section, Josh and Ken, then did their usual dance, dialing it in with some back and forth. Stephen was next in line, adding a subtle duet with Artur's chords. Tez then played the ethereal lead throughout most of it. Stephen, after it was pretty much laid down, came through with the ripping wah solo towards the end.

  Once the music was all taken care of, Carl came up with some great lyrics for it, and sang them, as the newest member of the group. He also laid down an accompanying acoustic rhythm guitar part, too. After Carl did his thing, we turned it over to Stephen for a mix, which he did with his professional skill set.

  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock tunes Artur has shared with Eclectic Collective. If you dig the sound, he has plenty more great ones on his page, which are worth checking out, too. We tried to do this with a little nod to The Police, the band, not the profession. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics - The Beautiful Dark

Who said we're different
We got our genes and our names
One human mission
Heart fused like fission
Real collective brains

Pure pine for pure
Pleased though holds hands
Reel in one love
Filter for our sands

I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue
I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I Feel the Same As You - w/ Eclectic Collective and Surfers Like Us

A spontaneous jam on a prefixed drum track.
Feddo: Piano, Soundpaint PR-S Guitar, Zebra synth
Peter: Drum, Bass and production

Lucie
En l’enlaçant sans m’en lasser
Lucie
Ne cessait jamais de changer
Je connais quelques-unes des personnes qui l’habitent


Lucie
Les nuits de pleine lune
Lucie
Doucement devient louve
Sa bouche fine, ses yeux verts me guettent comme une proie


Pourtant j’n'ai pas peur
Quand elle attend que j’ bouge
Son regard cherche à percer mes secrets
Pendant qu’ le temps s'arrête


Lucie
Le matin m'attire
Mais celle-ci
Celle-ci me parle raison
Je connais quelques-unes des personnes qui l'habitent


Sur ces nuits de pleine lune
Que nous sommes nous dit qui ne soit futile
Nos sens ont pris le dessus
Plus jamais en dessous de tout je ne me sentirais


Lucie
En l’enlaçant sans m’en lasser
Lucie
Ne cessait jamais de changer
Je connais quelques-unes des personnes qui l’habitent
