IT'S KEEPING ME AWAKE

Cast of characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), VST steel drums, vocals, lyrics, composition, production, mix      

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass

This song began with Mark, who fleshed out the entire thing, from the rhythm section, to the organ that you hear in there, to the lyrics and vocals, before he laid it on the rest of us. We all got a chuckle from the tongue in cheek humor of the lyrics, and were excited to work on a song about an anachronistic adventure of a soulful caveman. 
  Ken was first up with his version of the the beat, finding the soul in the rhythm. Josh was next up, of course, using his "normie" bass for the his version of the line. Once the rhythm section was in place, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, soulful e. piano to the mix. 
  Now that they had a solid foundation on which to play, Stephen and Tez added their guitar magic to the mix. Stephen with the rhythm and the fills, and Tez with the ripping solo at the end. Mark also added the festive VST steel drums that you hear throughout at this point, too. Now that the music was laid down, he perfected his awesome vocals to complete it.
  It was in the can at that point, and just needed Mark to throw a pro sounding mix on it. Then, Stephen mastered it in his always expert way to finish it off.
  Mark wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song (a la Al Green), which he did, all on his own. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song, both of which you can find on Mark's page. Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions. 
  This was a real team effort, even though it's really Mark's baby. The Eclectic Collective has many different methods of creating music. This one was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by mistermark:

Walking through this concrete jungle
I’m just trying to stay out of the way 
just me and ol’ Rex, my furry companion 
we been fielding funky looks all day
then somebody saw me kicking rocks with my bare toes
he said buddy have you lost your way?
then I sat right down and I started to cry
and this is what I had to say…


I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say 


Sittin’ in my man cave watching the clock crawl
there's nothing good on my tv 
my big grubby hands can’t flip thru the channels
i cant even hold a cup of tea
I was chatting on the phone making plans with a lady
a little bit of company
but my date split QUICK when I opened the door
man I wonder what’s wrong with me


I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break now
the ladies say I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say


The big city’s fine but something’s on my mind
I feel a little incomplete
I miss my old club, for rustling up some grub
and the touch of grass below my feet
I’ve been around longer than all your creation, 
like the rocks and trees and streams
I wanna get back home, where forever I’ll roam
even if it’s only in my dreams

I’m a caveman
I can’t catch a break 
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

I’m a caveman, 
must be come kinda mistake
everybody says I’m so passé 
well I’m a - a caveman
It’s too much to take
but I’m gunna get back some day
