AMPHETAMINE ORCHESTRA: SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

Almost on a daily basis I am told by one Soundcloud user after another that my music is crap, that I have zero talent....what do you think? Are they right, or is it a case of sour grapes?

With so many people making music--literally tens of millions--there is a serious overcrowding problem, creating a wall of white noise; to stand out from that background, a musician must bring something very different to the table :)

Almost on a daily basis I am told by one Soundcloud user after another that my music is crap, that I have zero talent....what do you think? Are they right, or is it a case of sour grapes? And do you think I take it to heart :) No! What's heartbreaking for all of us is....WHEN NO ONE LISTENS!

MY MIND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN

Orch256 - Fast Life

This is a new rendition of the song I wrote and recorded about twenty years ago. The original is a solo vocal/piano recording in one take without overdubs or editing. I posted it on my You Tube channel  but I thought its 8 minute length was too long to burden Sound Cloud listeners with. For this shorter new rendition I sampled piano and vocal parts from the original  to add additional piano and vocal layers to the song.
The lyrics : relate to the observations by a fictional bartender who notices
many barflies (regular customers) treat bartenders like  full-time "substitute psychologists". 
Lyrics:
I'm your bartender. 
Welcome all you barflies. Let's give cheers to this Friday night.
You made it through another work week, baby
and I hope you are feeling alright.

Wash away your blues... and become numb...and don't think of reality
Become a barfly baby...and watch out for what you see

C'mon, won't you have a good time?
I know that you'll feel alright
Because when it's all over, I'm gonna poor you a shot and a drink...
and it will make you think I'm a part-time bartender
But, I'm really a full-time shrink
[instrumental bridge]

I know about your life I know just about everything
Because every night you make your emotions sing to me
...and if you knew...and I need to prove this to you
Let me introduce you, baby to barflies who come through

In the back, stands Al Maloney
He says he "cant afford the alimony" (he bought a new Rolls Royce)

Next to you, stands Susan
She comes here for romance
But she's always boozn' while cruisin'
and never gets her chance

C'mon...won't you have a good time?
I know that you'll feel alright
Because I'm gonna poor you a shot and a drink
and it'll make you think I'm a part-time bartender
But, I'm really a full-time shrink

I'm your bartender
The lovers are Dave and Hue..."Bartender"..."Bartender"
But all they ever seem to do is argue

Oh, here comes a newcomer...really out to dress!
Why don't you turn to him...and try to confess
You are now a barfly, baby...
and you don't really know what to feel

C'mon, won't you have a good time?
I know that you'll feel alright
Because when it's all over I'm gonna poor me a shot and a drink...
and it makes me think...a shot and a drink...and it makes me think...
a shot and a drink...and it makes you think

I'm a part-time bartender
But I feel like... I'm a part-time bartender
but they see me like I'm a part-time bartender
But they treat me like  their full-time shrink.

ONE LUCID DREAM
i looked for my friend
from the other world
but we could not be friends again
in this world

i looked everywhere for them
and when i found their shadow and that tell tale gaze
the dropping of the hands at the thighs
the gait… they did not recognize me

i took years to prove our other life
but it did not work
and i lived a life naught mine but one
lucid dream of another

Every Serious Moment

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!
I don't respond to musicians that just add numbers, and i don't respond to musicians that just click the like button, because it doesn't prove they actually listened.

It is a myth that unsigned music equals inferior music; the only way we can blow that myth out of the water is to do it together!
DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT! And support musicians that support you!

MY TUNES ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING ON THE FLY; NO COOKBOOK, NO RULES, NO PREPARATION, NO PLAN; IT JUST HAPPENS!

FORMULA THINKING AND BOUNDARIES PUT EXTREME LIMITATIONS ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS; TRUE ART CAN NOT BE PRODUCED WITHIN A RESTRICTED SPACE!

I DON'T BREAK DOWN BOUNDARIES, BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BOUNDARIES IN MY WORLD TO BEGIN WITH!

MUSIC MUST CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, AND THE ECLECTIC APPROACH IS NOW THE ONLY WAY FORWARD, BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL GENRES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED!

CREATING WITHIN A SINGLE GENRE, THEREFORE, RESULTS IN REGURGITATION, REPETITION, AND MEDIOCRITY!

And way too much emphasis is placed on production value; actual creativity and diversity are taking a back seat! Inventive lyrics also rarely get the credit they deserve. This indifference to the talents that actually set musicians apart plays into the hands of a money-minded music industry, signing our own death warrants!

SUPPORT: I’ll show you mine if you show me yours!!! FAIR EXCHANGE!
FAIR EXCHANGE: Listen 4 Listen, Comment 4 Comment, Share 4 Share!

Almost on a daily basis I am told by one Soundcloud user after another that my music is crap, that I have zero talent....what do you think? Are they right, or is it a case of sour grapes? And do you think I take it to heart :) No! What's heartbreaking for all of us is....WHEN NO ONE LISTENS!

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP: THE MAN WHO BOUGHT THE WORLD instrumentals

SEVERAL MUSICIANS HAVE SUGGESTED I'M A IN A GENRE OF MY OWN, WHICH HAS TO BE THE ULTIMATE ACHIEVEMENT FOR A MUSICIAN!

MY APPROACH HAS ALWAYS BEEN, LET WHATEVER WANTS TO COME OUT, COME OUT; NO PLAN, NO BOUNDARIES, NO FORMULA, AND ON THE FLY! 

With so many people making music--literally tens of millions--there is a serious overcrowding problem, creating a wall of white noise; to stand out from that background, a musician must bring something very different to the table :)

HOPE THE DAY EVENTUALLY ARRIVES WHEN INNOVATION ONCE AGAIN REPLACES REGURGITATION, BUT, IN THE MEANTIME, IMITATION AND REGURGITATION CONTINUES TO GRAB THE AUDIENCE, WHICH IS BAD NEWS FOR THOSE OF US WHO INJECT OUR REAL PERSONALITIES INTO OUR TUNES :)

I COME FROM ONE OF THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT PLACES ON THE PLANET, CREWE! NO BAND OR MUSIC, OR ANY ARTIST REPRESENTING ANY OF THE ARTS, OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE EVER CAME FROM CREWE, AND I KIND OF LIKE THAT; A CREATIVE GIANT EVOLVING FROM A TOTALLY STERILE ENVIRONMENT :)
