CAT LOOKS FOR ROBIN UNDER THE SUMMER MOON

LuhU

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
NO MORE JOY NO MORE PAIN OUT OF SIGHT
SITTING IN MY GARDEN, MAN, A ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
PLENTY OF SUSPENDED TIME ON MY HANDS
NOW I’M HERE HERE AND NOW
THAT’S WHERE I STAND
ROCKING IN MY ROCKING CHAIR
MADE OF AIR

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
NO MORE BALLS NO MORE CHAIN WELL ALRIGHT
SIPPING AT MY ICE COOL BEER THE ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
NEVER MIND THE BITTER END IN THE END
NOW I’M HERE NOW I’M HERE
NOW I’M HERE 
AND HERE TO STAY
CHECKING THE PALM OF MY HAND
MADE OF SAND

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS


NOW I’M HERE NOW I’M HERE
AND HERE I AM
HERE COMES THE CHILL OF THE FALL
MADE OF GOLD

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
WITH A BROKEN HEART TO MEND 
AND A ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
NOW I’M HERE

Moon Mood - Open Collaboration Offer

I was going through the Tony Harris collection and came across this little gem he'd written years ago , so I asked him if I could have a go at a complete revamp , he said yes and this is the result , I hope you like it as much as I do ! On the 22nd is a super song with Gaz and Nat , and on the 1st of September is my first outing with fantastic German orchestral composer Axel Menningen , I'm doing a duet with R and B singer Kim . Working on a new song with Axel and Charlotte at the moment , as usual it's all go ! Thank you so much for listening !

Born In The Country ( Fox and Harris )

J’ENTENDS RIEN J’ENTENDS RIEN
J’ENTENDS PLUS RIEN DE RIEN DE RIEN
Y’A TROP DE TINTOUIN
J’ENTENDS PLUS LES CLAMEURS
LES ARMES AUTOMATIQUES
J’ENTENDS PLUS LA MUSIQUE 
TOUS LES SONS COULENT À PIC		         
TITANIC TITANIC

J’ENTENDS RIEN J’ENTENDS RIEN
J’ENTENDS PLUS RIEN DE RIEN DE RIEN
ET ÇA FAIT DU BIEN
J’ENTENDS PLUS LA COLÈRE
LE VENIN LA VIPÈRE
J’ENTENDS PLUS LA PANIQUE
NI LES TAC NI LES TIC
TITANIC TITANIC

J’ENTENDS RIEN J’ENTENDS RIEN
J’ENTENDS PLUS RIEN DE RIEN DE RIEN
TOUT CE BARATIN
                  
C’EST LE MONDE DU SILENCE
PLUS DE SON PLUS DE SENS
QUAND ON Y PENSE

LE MONDE EST SOURD
LES TEMPS SONT LOURDS

J'ENTENDS RIEN  (Lyrics)

IT'S KEEPING ME AWAKE

The ether is on the other side

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

Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
Why am I just standing in this room?   
      Was I thirsty for a drink?   
      You’ve got to think man! Think, think think!  
Or was it food I wanted to consume?   

Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
There must have been a reason, I’m a reasonable guy 
Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
I’m standing here but can’t remember why. 

Let my try retracing all my steps 
I was sitting on the sofa watching TV to enrichen
When from deep within the sofa cushion depths 
I sprang up from the couch and then I walked into the kitchen 

There must have been a reason for this sudden kitchen visit 
Yet here I stand not having an idea as to what is it!  

Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
Why am I just standing in this room?   
      Was I thirsty for a drink?   
      You’ve got to think man! Think, think think!  
Or was it food I wanted to consume?   

Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
There must have been a reason, I’m a reasonable guy 
Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
I’m standing here but can’t remember why. 

Maybe it was medicine I needed from the pantry?  
Or maybe my poor memory is that of an old timer’s?  
Maybe I’ve gone crazy! No! That can’t be it, it can’t be!  
Or maybe I’m developing a bad case of Alzheimer’s!  

Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
Why am I just standing in this room?   
      Was I thirsty for a drink?   
      You’ve got to think man! Think, think think!  
Or was it food you wanted to consume?   

Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
There must have been a reason, I’m a reasonable guy 
Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
I’m standing here but can’t remember why. 

And I stood there for a long time, looking down upon my feet 
And thought:   “I don’t know why I’m here but since I’m here, I guess I’ll eat” 

Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
Why am I just standing in this room?   
      Was I thirsty for a drink?   
      You’ve got to think man! Think, think think!  
Or was it food you wanted to consume?   

Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
There must have been a reason, I’m a reasonable guy 
Why am I standing in the kitchen?  
I’m standing here but can’t remember why. 


Why Am I Standing In The Kitchen?

First track of a new album where I'll try to be more eclectic, with closer approach to some genres. Experimented on this one over-editing vocal line on the left, and getting midi files out of organic guitar melodies, which I could play with virtual instruments. I hope you'll enjoy a different Ruizzoid shape.

Dedicated to Germán Coppini’s ‘Golpes Bajos’, one of my favorite groups of the Spanish ‘Nueva Ola’.

Lyrics (original/translated):

NO TODO ACABA (JUGUETES ROTOS)  /  NOT EVERYTHING ENDS (BROKEN TOYS)

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba,  /  Make me think that not everything ends,
hay cosas en la vida que no cambian nada.  /  there are things in life which don’t change at all.
Hazme pensar que no estás gastada,  /  Make me think that you are not worn,
que el paso de los años no te cambió nada.  /  that the passing years didn’t change you at all.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

Juguetes rotos, muñecas olvidadas,  /  Broken toys, forgotten dolls,
la imagen de mi espejo parece cansada.  /  the image from my mirror seems to be tired.
La voz de la noche ya no me llama,  /  The voice of the night doesn’t call me anymore,
me  resisto a pensar que todo se acaba.  /  I refuse to think that everything ends.

Hazme pensar que lo nuestro no acaba  /  Make me think that our thing doesn’t end
cuando despierte por la mañana.  /  when I wake up in the morning.
Hazme pensar en ti con calma,  /  Make me think about you calmly,
hazme creer que te tengo amarrada.  /  make me think that I get you tied up.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba,  /  Make me think that not everything ends,
hazme creer que aún estoy en casa,  /  make me think that I’m still at home,
hazme pensar que duermo entre sábanas,   /  make me think that I sleep between sheets,
hazme pensar que nada cambia.  /  make me think that nothing changes.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)
