Interesting to read here about your spontaneous writing and recording -- I think that's very cool.

something in there reminds me of The Velvet Underground-I'm totally unsure of why but...

michael, yer funky musical soul on display, love the laid back, low key sweetness here bother :)

I appreciate the way you make music. Music inspired from the moment is much more real then music that is contrived and planned out.

WE BENEFIT FROM POSTING ON SOUNDCLOUD THE MOST WHEN WE FOLLOW BACK, LISTEN AND LEAVE FEEDBACK

Who should we follow back? The Soundcloud users who don’t just follow us they actually listen and leave feedback, makes sense, right. So why does it make sense, because they are the ones actually supporting your music, they are the ones that raise your profile and feedback is FREE hype, it advertises your product, it tells new arrivals to your page that your music is worth listening to, that’s what I mean when I say we ALL benefit.
These platforms actually end up failing BECAUSE we don’t maximise their potential in this way, a follow serves no purpose if we don’t follow through, and if we don’t follow through others don’t follow through either, we all become wary of giving support because we know only a very small number will do the same for us.
So how does this affect these platform, activity slows down eventually grinding to a halt, once that happens platforms like Soundcloud could end up going out of business, eventually there will be no platforms left for us to FREELY post on, the day will arrive when the ONLY way to post our music is to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE, so you see being PROACTIVE not only benefits you and I it ensures the survival of platforms like Soundcloud; ok, so it doesn’t deliver in some of the ways we’d like it to, and including reaching an actual audience, but it’s a whole lot better than nothing at all!

This is the 7th song posted from the album I have been working on using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! I can't believe how fast time has passed and how long we have been working on this project. 4 songs from the album are based on a graphic novel that Wou-Wou had started before the pandemic began. The rest of the songs are reflections of the weird times we were living in.

Big thanks to Wou Wou, Bit-zone, and Stricknice for still being here after all these years. I have known and worked with people on SoundCloud probably longer than I have known high school friends, college friends, and friends from various jobs. Huge thanks to Guitar Wizards of the Future. I remember when I first began participating in the SoundCloud community, I would always eagerly anticipate a new GWOTF track, especially because I grew up in Oakland California. I look forward to hearing a new one someday! In the meantime, go check out the classics on their page!

Lyrics:

Would 
You like to 
Skip work and go to the seaside
Would 
You like to
Go tubing by the riverside

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go 

What 
About going 
For a naked bike ride
What 
About going 
To a dispensary and getting high

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me hate 
Another day though 
I been poking at my plate
Each and every day though 
Just staring in the mirror
Watching as my hair grows 

Would
You like to 
Visit a park 2 feet wide
Would 
You like to
Be my voodoo donut bride 

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go

Tin Woman
I feel my age these days
bones creaking
the need to be well-oiled
like some kind of
tin woman
all rusted
my metal parts
need refurbishing
then I could
have a new body
without dying
Be all bionic
and built like
a brickhouse again.

Rise, Samurai!

Surrounded by chaos, 
Heroic demise
It’s time – time to rise
Our names will live forever,
Forever out of time
Live for today
Join the final fight

Rise, samurai!
Blades slash through lies
As the bullets fly
Ignite the city of night 
This is our fight
There’s victory in death
If you know when to die

We walk the razor’s edge
With death by our side
We will never be alone
Forever out of time

Rise, samurai!
Tempered by our trials
With steel in our spine
Never bow to fear
Our names will never die
Ignite the city of night,
Join the final fight!

"Nuff Said" challenges our inner demons. Don't let them drag you down, cause you deserve better. Starting with a catchy riff, we bring you back to good old 2000s nu metal and spiced it up with modern elements. I wrote the instrumental and the hook, Brett Anthony did the rap part and Ampersandman contributed his guitar and bass work to raise the roof. This is to all people who deal with a tough situation and enjoy heavier tones. 
Thanks a lot for the collab!

==== LYRICS ====

Get up, get up
I think I said enough, had enough
Half way through to you
but your head's still filling up

with the lies inside your eyes
that take me by surprise
So I keep my thoughts inside
and I try to spare your life

But I'm one step closer from it
finally being over
Vocally drained, insane
Still seeking closure

I'm a mad man, damaged plan
just can't understand
Out my cage, in a rage
confused and dazed

The hate began on a long lost road
Where is where I think I sold my soul
To the edge I place my toes
As my mind spins out control

Don't you know that it's payback
One last attack, I'm back on track
Flow through the aftermath
because nothing's coming after that

Nuff said,
time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)
But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)

Tik tock tick
the clock it won't stop
It's time to forget
the tears and blood I dropped

It came to this
in case you didn't know
I fill my mind with gasoline
and set fire to this soul

Explode out
this shell and through this hell
No doubt
this curse is one big spell
Sold out
Death is what we sell
And life can only tell
Though the silent screams we yell

I've been knocked down, stomped on
Felt like giving up
Dragged around, tossed to the ground
Not knowing to get up

Messed around and lost my crown
Tested all my luck
Lost and found, stood my ground
Fought all these things I thought were tough

Nuff said
Time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, I keep turning the tide)
But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to)

Nuff said
Still need another fallback
To backstab
And make your head crack
No need no respect
(Leave and don't return again)

Nuff said
Don't wanna talk
You fucking bonehead,
I'm gonna make your head crack
No need to check back
Leave and don't return again

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, but I keep turning the tide)

But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
I got, I got nothing to say

Nuff Said

I Got A Bone To Pick With You

STARDEW VALLEY - Mines | Remix

All tracks  are recorded in a spontaneous manner typically in a single take. Most lyrics are also spontaneous improvisations derived from the feelings of the moment. We let the guitar and drums interact and the music just happens. Most if not all of the music is inspired from this interaction.

The recording equipment up until January 2019 consisted of a dated Fostex 8 track and a few microphones...We simply lay down a guitar and drum track and let it unfold the way you are hearing it by bouncing tracks. We just have to make music to live. Music of any kind, music that speaks for itself... 

In January 2019 recording equipment was upgraded to Logic X and a UA Apollo MKll Quad Core Recording interface...We entered a new building and still trying to find the light switch so bare with us as we keep lighting matches...

In the WRONG PLACE at THE WRONG TIME with THE WRONG MINDSET, apparently making THE #WRONG #MUSIC, but it feels #RIGHT to ME!

Don't take sides and I'll respect you for it; take sides and I'll treat you with the same contempt I treat anyone with a mob mentality, because mob mentality invariantly betrays an underlying intolerant right-wing mentality!
>
#SUPPORT gathers #MOMENTUM when #RECIPROCATED!
>
My tunes are ten times better than you might imagine!
>
A lack of listens proves nothing, other than the fact that no one is finding your tunes; it does not prove, as some believe, that your tunes must be crap, so don’t ever take such a ridiculous notion on board—on an internet FLOODED with music no listens rarely has anything to do with the quality of your music, your creative talent, is almost always down to the fact that the right audience can’t find your music, because finding it is now as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
>
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVERYTHING FOR SOMEONE!
>
For diversity and consistency, I am not hesitant in saying my Soundcloud pages house the most inventive creations on here. There are others making fabulous tunes, but no one is more prolific while maintaining a high standard of pole to pole invention, and that applies to the lyrics too. I won't escape obscurity and oblivion, but that proves nothing, the internet is way, way, WAY overcrowded with unsigned music, way too much mediocre stuff, which obscure anything exceptional out there; the wood hidden away behind lots and lots and LOTS of trees, and no one has the time to look for needles in haystacks, to find a diamond in the rough, it's just way too big a task, not humanely possible!

INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, DIVERSE MUSIC, INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, IMAGINATIVE LYRICS, but those are the last things the vast majority of listeners are looking for these days!
>
Me, I'm awestruck by musicians who can't be pigeonholed, who don't conform to any borders, who don't think about which direction each new creation will take, they just go wherever that creativity takes them; pure, on the fly, innovation, imperfect but 100% authentic, as far a way from manufactured, recipe book, regurgitation, as it is possible to get, totally unforced, inspirational and way, way, WAY outside the box! There ought to be a place for such creativity, there was at one time, but a mercenary music industry put an end to that, leaving us with a situation where those who deserve the most adoration for the talents receive the least!
>
Will this ever change, will a yearning for TRUE underground, creativity unique to the individual, ever return, or has the spoon-feeding gone to far this time, is its grip so vicelike nothing can break it!
>
I make #INVISIBLE music, perhaps it feels that way to you too!
#Overlooked, #Underrated, Dismissed Without A Listen!
>
When Soundclouders follow me or click like without leaving feedback, what is it they are hoping for? That I come listen to their tunes and heap praise on them, what? I mean really, what is the point of following someone, what is the point of liking one of their tunes, if you don't actual think they are deserving of feedback, if you don't think the tunes are as good as what you do???

EXPLODING THE MYTH THAT UNSIGNED IS UNSIGNED BECAUSE IT’S INFERIOR TO SIGNED MUSIC!

>
UNTIL this MYTH is blown out of the water we don’t have a cat in hells chance of breaking through. #TheMyth  is the BIGGEST obstacle that stands in our way, it is the FIRST hurdle we must get over, it is the message that should be going #VIRAL, it’s down to each & every one of you to make that happen!
>
#ExplodeTheMyth
>
Listening to just one of my tunes tells you nothing about my creative approach, listening to ten of my tunes will still tell you very little, listen to a hundred of my tunes and the penny will start to drop, but it's only after hearing 500+ of my creations and collaborations that your eyes will widen in amazement! 
However, if you don't have unlimited eclectic taste none of that applies, and the reality is, who, in this world, is going to listen to every tune I've created, no one--if even one tune is heard from beginning to end it's a minor miracle, because sadly, there is a belief that unsigned means inferior, but I've heard enough tunes by the rest of you guys to know that's a myth, that's bullshit, we create some of the most inventive, authentic, imaginative tunes out there!
Give me unsigned, independent and underground music over signed, safe, predictable, recipe book, music any day of the week!
>
I MAKE TUNES NO ONE WILL EVER LISTEN TO!
>
Some musicians & music fans don’t want to hear music from the past because they would have to acknowledge IT’S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE!
>
Finally come to terms with the fact that I'm PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and even I have to FORCE myself to listen!!!
>
My music and lyrics are all about different, but if no one listens no one will EVER know! 
#StevenVellou

I CREATE TUNES ON THE FLY; NO FORMULA, NO PLAN, NO DIRECTION; THEY JUST HAPPEN--I'M IGNORANT OF THE RULES INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SO I'M NOT BOXED IN BY THEM, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE SO VARIED AND UNPREDICTABLE!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meaningful yet tongue-in-cheek tunes that can’t be #PIGEONHOLED!
Great production ISN'T my forte, accomplished musicianship ISN'T my forte but #UndergroundInvention, #InfiniteDimensions & LYRICS are!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now I don't personally believe I'm in the same league as #Bowie, other than my lyrics, more often than not, making more sense, but I do think I share his ability to adapt to different genres, and his endless, diverse, creativity, just not quite on the same level.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm not proficient/accomplished on instruments, & I have other musical limitations, but most genres come natural to me, and I much prefer having that unforced ability to being highly accomplished on instruments, highly polished on production, or having the perfect voice!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If I didn't feel I had my own approach, if my music was easy to pigeonhole, I would have quit music a long time ago!
Never been about fame & fortune, just about pushing the boundaries without actually intending to push the boundaries; creativity that's second nature not formula! 
Yes, I want to reach an audience but making money from my music means nothing to me!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOT saying I’m THE MOST #talented musician on music promotion sites but I will say I’m one of the most #UNDERRATED! Even so, I would much rather be underrated than overrated!
