Backwards (2025) - Rebellion and pride collide with faith
Most of us have broken peace with God at some point. Wrestling with the reality of the transaction that took place on the cross, inspired the creation of "Backwards". With relentless guitar riffs and emotional vocals, this alternative rock song captures the internal battle between rebellion and pride versus humility and obedience. We often feel like we must earn salvation, but God's grace and forgiveness come freely, turning our expectations backwards.

Backwards

This song is about the frustrations and betrayals that artists face in the digital age, particularly with music streaming platforms like SoundCloud. I was recently hit hard when my total play count suddenly dropped by half, with hundreds of plays vanishing from each song seemingly overnight. I've heard about three other artists that have had this happen to them as well.  It was a stark reminder of the lack of control and transparency artists have over their own work. The lyrics highlight the issues of transparency and fairness in counting streams and paying royalties, and how these systems can be manipulated to the detriment of the artists. It's a call to action, demanding justice and fairness for creators, and emphasizing the importance of honesty and integrity in the way our work is valued and compensated. 

This song is a protest against SoundCloud's exploitation of artists and a plea for a more equitable system that respects the value of our work. 

Let me know with a comment, if this has happened to you as well. I emailed SC but never received a reply as usual. 😡


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In the shadows, numbers fade
A silent theft, a hidden shade
Hundreds of thousands, a count so fine
Now halved in an instant, left to decline 

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 2]
Months of silence, a meager pay
A measly amount, for a lifetime's sway
The system's broken, the trust is worn
As the counts are manipulated, and the truth is torn 

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 3]
SoundCloud's ledger, a dishonest page
Where our hard work's worth is rewritten in their stage
The fire that burns, within our hearts
Is fueled by passion, and a work of art 

[Bridge]
We're not just numbers, we're not just plays
We're the heartbeat, of a creative way
We're the voices, that speak to the soul
Don't silence us, don't take control 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Outro]
SoundCloud, your name is tied to shame
There should be justice, a reckoning to claim
Artists demand, a fair and honest share
You should do right by us, show you care.



Fractured Counts

Lazzaro (Lazarus) : - “follow the rhythm, keep your mind soft and be with it with your whole being” – because this is what is happening to you on earth today. You live, we live, and we die as pendulum swings.

TVT DEMO TAPE is a collaborative EP/mixtape from producer Varyu, Utah underground legend T-Lock, and dynamic rapper Tony-Tremaine, blending trap, lo-fi, jazz, and dance into a feel-good fusion of sounds.

Recorded in the heart of Cleveland, this project captures the essence of late-night creativity, where gritty beats meet smooth grooves and introspective bars. Each track morphs expectations, shifting from hypnotic loops to head-nodding rhythms—all while transporting you to that dimly lit basement where it all came together.
