Awesome 🤘 I can hear the 80’s tv vibe 
Tv use to have great soundtracks

Wow!!! We love it!!!🫶 Great track Bill! We wish we could live in the ’80s sometimes!

Great Track and very good played... The ambient is very good... nice CoverArt/Picture

Super impressed by my buddy @dough-factory 's rhyming skills on here! This one started out as a beat from Ryan, I added trippy synth, organ and guitar noodling then sent back to him. He mixed, arranged and added the killer vocals as well as some record skips that add a nice touch.

Faded (What a Day)

"Deep beneath the forest, there is magic all around,
With music, dance and laughter, yet you'll barely hear a sound,
But if you're very still, you may hear a fiddle play,
As tiny creatures celebrate another splendid day."

- Beneath the Forest, by Francess Harris

A companion piece to "Enchanted Forest Dance."

Lyric:
A candle in the dark
And in your own fashion
You burned it to the ground
Its sad but it's true
I can't get over you
I'm trying to breath 
But I'm choked by the fumes
Set me free
I'm just trying to breath
Let it go
Cus I can't keep hold
If I told you that I love you
Would you let everything slide
If I told you that I want you
Would I run and hide?

Let me take you flying. Let me take you off the ground. 
Let me take you to the stratosphere now. 
You won't need a ticket, you won't need a reservation. 
You just need to take my hand and fly. Come fly with me.

Let me take you dancing. Let me spin you on the floor. 
Trip the light fantastic with you. 
You won't need a lesson. You won't need a costume ball. 
You just need to take my hand and dance. Come dance with me.

No time to think it over. It's time to go. 
No time to think it over, let's go. Take my hand now.

Don't wait for a sign. To make up your mind. Baby, this is our time.

Let me take you somewhere. 
Take you where you've never been. 
Take you where the map will end now. 
You won't need a compass. You won't need a passport stamp. 
You just need to take my hand somewhere,  somewhere with me.

Time To Go

Cast of Characters:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – acoustic guitar, synth, and composition
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- vocals, lyrics, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless Warwick bass
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano, B3 synth voice, synth sax, and JJ's angels (voice synth)
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– master and production

This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.
  Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning. 
  The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.
  Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.
  This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind 

there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind

how could I have been so blind?

 

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me 

it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea

the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home 

the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown 

on their own


“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play” 

our leaders assured us we’d never go poor

and nobody questions the truth anymore 

but what did we do it all for?

 

Our science sustains us like fine works of art

but are we closer together or farther apart?

we’re each on an island alone on the sea

the ocean between us expands rapidly

is this where we wanted to be?

 

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me 

it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be

machines tried to help us but something went wrong

the future we wanted was here all along

 

The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind 

there were words left unsaid…

Faded Fortunes (Eclectic Collective)

The Good Train (Chooo Choooo)

I am this
So I can't be that
A locked up mind
No matter the fact
Imaginary lines dividing our clan
Such divisive mindset of bias by plan

True value is found on a centered line
Yes we veer off course
Sense returns us in time
Weak power of ego derails our train
Then the power of one finds the tracks again

When far from the line
You don't hear old friends
The chat becomes shout
With malice meme trends
We list as too liberal
Or get racist with rights
Neither tribe ever sees
On the tracks there's no fights

This is digitally sown
By your own algorithm
Fake power confirmed
By a fed bias shism
We're averaged to side
Sold out for divide
In this drama
Brain jailed from centered confide

Those who lead from this partisan pain
Just amplify lies and stay departed from sane
Here's to talking back on the train
For the good of our lives
Back in the middle we' tame

The good train is always here
We hop aboard when we lose the fear
The good train finds arms a ' link
Choo tuned together
We merged to think

The idea to try and link the falsetto to the strings came from these geniuses from Brighton the other day. Thaaaaaaanks teachers ✌🏻🎶🔆

Apparently, most creatures with hearts, that live natural lives have 1.5 billion heart beats in their lives. Larger animals generally live longer and have slower pulses and smaller animals hearts beat faster but have shorter lives. But we all get 1.5 billion beats. (Thanks Physicist Sean M. Carroll for that epic bit of knowledge - https://youtu.be/pLbSlC0Pucw?si=3SRmY0hYsrFuAd1h)

Because of science and medicine humans live twice as long as before modern medicine existed, so we get 3 billion beats now until we go permanantly on our journey back to the Sun!

We're ever so slightly lucky to be in this position in this time and on this journey.

Given all the bullshit people argue about, my guess is there are way too many people that don't appreciate that. We have one shot. One set of heart beats and then that's it. Wouldn't it be way better if we just enjoyed it together as we perfect our explanations of this reality rather then stay in a bubble and our own faked version of the universe and our surroundings. But I'm just a pea so what would I know... 🫛 🎶🕺🏾
