Lyrics:
remember when we were young
remember all the things that we shared together
honestly i don’t know how we lasted so long

you are still here with me
even through the bad times
cause god really knows
that we had our fair share of those

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healing soul

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healing soul

the sky is crying but
what happened to all the tears
they’re not touching me
and it’s not near me

i see it falling but it never reaches out to me
like it always used to
whenever there was evil

rain a little harder and then
come and try to touch the ground
wet me on my head
come and make me better

free us from the evil
take away the pain it caused
and leave us with a pure soul
that commands no evil

i need the water of god
kindly bestowed upon me

i need to cleanse my soul
take the evil straight out of me

then we need to cleanse the world
so everybodies soul can be free
but the rain is not touching down

can’t you see the evil all around
that’s some shit we need to take down
we need to take it all down right damn now

magical mystical miracle
pouring rain in the sky

soon be gone
as quick as it came
the healing storm
will go away

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
all the pain

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
you’ll be saved

we need the cleansing water
so as to make us better inside

do you wanna be saved
or would you rather be evil and die
i don’t know why

cause once god cuts off the cleansing waters
there’s nothing we can do
and then we’re through

so show your true colors
there is so much good still left in you

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
all the pain

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
you’ll be saved

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healthy soul

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – jaw harp. vocals, production, mix, and editing

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

This song started as a rough recorded by Tez on his acoustic and electric guitars. He also wrote the lyrics right off the bat, and introduced them to the rest of The Eclectic Collective by singing them as a rough, too. His vision for this was to create a song that sounded like it could've been recorded at Headly Grange. He also wanted it to feature instruments that wouldn't sound out of entirely out of place in Feudal Age Britain (between 1000-1600 C.E.) to carry the spirit of his lyrics.
  Tez always writes songs that are fun to learn and have cool changes, so the we all jumped in with both feet. Ken was first up with his Bonham like big, bad beat. To that, Josh added his P-bass, which he used a plectrum on, something he rarely does, trying to sound like JPJ to match his Ken's energy. JJ came along next, adding his colorful mix of raucous organ, time period relevant Celtic flute, and outro bagpipes. He did the entire outro, in fact, including the "off with her head," line, too. 
  Once the music was all laid down, Tez tapped Mark to sing the humorous lyrics. Mark came through with flying colors on the vocal performance, as always, too. Mark also added the textural, boingy-sounding jaw harp in the chorus sections.
  Now that it was all in the can, Two of our master producers Tez and Mark mixed it, then asked the third, Stephen, to do the final mastering. It should be noted, too, that Mark also contributed significantly to the production, too, with his masterful editing skills.
  This was a really fun tune to put together, as we always have fun working on Tez's seeds. He is telling the tale of lust between two Feudal era peasants. Of course, it's rife with ribaldry, being as Tez is British. We hope you enjoy listening to this a much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Llanpsych:
Verse 1
Working in the fields
All summer long
Glowing like the sun
Oh so fit and strong 
Feudal Woman
I like the way you move
Feudal Woman
I want to plough your groove
Verse 2
Loving in the dusk
Lying in the hay
Drinking hot cider
Till the end of the day 
Feudal Woman
I like the way you move
Feudal Woman
I want to plough your groove

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST steel pan drums, backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), 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 wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song, which he did, singing & playing all of the instrument parts on his own at first. 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 - this one (the group remix), and the original Soul version (Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions).

Ken was first up with his vibrant interpretation of Mark's original drum track. Josh was next up, replacing Mark's bass line with a more upbeat bopping take. Once the rhythm section was in place, Stephen found the perfect guitar motif which served as both rhythm guitar, and the soulful lead that suited both versions of the song.

With a solid foundation on which to play, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, rhythmic and playful electric piano to the mix. Tez added his guitar magic, ripping solo parts in the instrumental sections, and at the end. It was at this point that the decision was made to go with two versions, so Ken added some rhythmic percussion to the mix, and Mark also tested out his newly acquired VST steel drums to emphasize the slight Caribbean vibe that was emerging. With Mark completing mixing duties on both versions, it was now time for Stephen to master it in his always expert way to finish it off.

This was a real team effort,  demonstrating The Eclectic Collective's many different methods of creating music. It was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision, and 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

🎸 Welcome to my musical journey! 🎶

Hey there, music enthusiasts! I'm Oz a hobbyist musician who's been strumming the strings of my guitar since my teenage years. Music has always been my passion, weaving its melodies through every chapter of my life. From the intricate rhythms of Oriental music to the rebellious energy of pop-punk, the timeless allure of blues, the groove of funk, and the nostalgia of electronic sounds from the '80s and '90s, I find inspiration in a diverse array of genres.

For me, music is more than just sound – it's a language of emotions, a canvas where I paint my feelings and experiences. The power of music to evoke and express emotions never ceases to amaze me. Being part of this vibrant community here on SoundCloud fuels my creative drive and pushes me to explore new sonic landscapes.

As the legendary Bob Marley once said, "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." So join me on this musical voyage, where we'll dive deep into the ocean of melodies and rhythms, sharing moments of joy, introspection, and everything in between.

Let's make some noise together! 🤘
