THE COPING MECHANISM OF MUSIC various artists

Sublime Roo's 8th release.

'Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to so many of you for supporting me on my musical journey so far. I am still trying to catch up with all the beautiful messages & tweets of support & encouragement whilst I have been (mainly) away for a couple of months. 

I am still juggling some big life-challenges and may be quite intermittent for a while longer but I have been working away in the background despite a reduced social media presence. 

Enough about that & onto the music!

This track is a kind of 'Trancey/Hip-Hop' type track.
When I wrote this several years ago I was having some turbulent times, so again, I felt it was appropriate to release it around about now... 

As some of you are aware, I have had and am still having some difficult times again recently, however I'd rather reflect that to you through my music, as I am not the only one in life who struggles or goes through difficult times of course. 

As I'd rather not bring you down with the 'why's & wherefores' (because no doubt you have enough on your plate already) or you just wanted to enjoy some music without feeling burdened by my problems... Then I can instead, give you an insight into my situation & how I feel sometimes, by sharing my past & current struggles with you, through the expression of sounds & images that I created during these times...

I hope that anyone else who needs to process difficult times at the moment can gain some peace & comfort through this instrumental that I created, knowing, you are not alone... and that it is okay to not be okay sometimes...
 
We keep the music rolling! 
We ebb.
We flow.
We fly.
We fall... 
...but we must keep getting up again & keep on keeping on... 
We are mighty!
We are wonderful!
We are one!

Let's keep it nice! 
Let's keep it wavy! 
Be good to yourself! 
Be good to others!
Until next time...
Peace, One Love, Justice & Unity for all 🌍✌🏼❤️💛💚

Paroles / Lyrics:

Ce samedi
tu as sorti 
ton cerf-volant
innocemment
comme un enfant
sans vraiment te soucier du temps.
En pleine nuit
tu as sorti 
ton cerf-volant
le laissant 
filer vers le firmament...

En catimini
tu as sorti 
ton cerf-volant
comme un enfant
pour ne plus toucher terre
Rouge cœur solitaire
à l'abri du vent
dans ton appartement.

Sacré samedi
fin de semaine !..
Sacré samedi !..

Ce samedi
tu as sorti 
ton cerf-volant
comme un enfant
t'accrochant
à la corde t'envolant
à l'abri du vent
dans ton appartement.

Satané samedi
fin de semaine !..
... et ta vie
au bout d'un fil de laine...
... et ta vie
au bout d'un fil de laine...
... et ta vie
au bout d'un fil de laine...

Ton cerf-volant (Your Kite)

Ton cerf-volant (Your Kite) [Levitan & Lukowig]

My Girl

Chock-full of high-energy post-progressive rock with a Bowie vibe, "Forget the End of the World," the debut album from bassist/vocalist David Tomkins (ex-The Shadow Principle) and drummer Adam Figura (ex-Sloth), will appeal to fans of Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, Muse, Dredg, The Pineapple Thief, and Riverside.

Clear Skies Darkened

Fly is a slow, dark Rock song. A "You're depressed, I love, I can't have you" kinda song.

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

Highly unlikely more than one of my tunes will ever be heard by more than a handful of listeners, so just for the record here is an incomplete list of artists my music has been compared to by other musicians, depending on which tunes they heard, StevenVellou (Gothic Funk)

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!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
