Cool track, really catchy near-dance vibe, more like a warmup or chilldown track, something to get in the mood and space out to. Very catchy

Awesome synth sounds...Beat force drive supreme XOXOXO

Il Ramo Radio2 edit

Edmund's mother would drive sometimes for days. Never going anywhere, just somewhere. Somewhere that wasn't there. Another burned out sign to a cheap motel; deep in the humid swamps of the bitter south. A time to stop and rest for a day, maybe two. This life inside her was wanting to see the world.
 Flames and retribution and shame, an archaic remnant to what wanted her to speak no more. Edmund was to be born that day in the swamps.  That day when the cicadas roared like a chorus through sweat and fire. The traveler was born at 3:33 pm

The Fold

The Fold./Ballad of a Traveler part 2

These are songs that I developed in a very lo-fi fashion to show what they sound like in my head. They could still go in many different directions - more acoustic, more produced - I'm open to ideas. But what you're hearing here are my unabashed concepts for these little tunes. 
ENJOY- and thanks for connecting with me & my music!

SUPERFINE APOSTLES

POISON

Outside 
Way outside
A bird
A lake
A great divide
Ann Street
Way downtown
I heard
The bird
A great divide
   but you got to trust
I can't
   you got to climb
I'm not gonna make it
   you got to climb
I can't
   you got to try
This cannot be
   you got to try
I can't
   you got to climb
I'm not gonna make it
   you got to try
I can't 
   you got to try
This is the end-
                           -
                             -
                                -
   i loved her more than life
I can't
   i got to try
I'm not gonna make it
   i got to try 
I can't
   i got to try
This cannot be
   i got to try
I can't
I'm not gonna make it
   i loved you so
I can't 
   i love you so
This is the end
   i loved
This is the end

Outside A Lake

CHORUS
She's got an itch, an itch you can't scratch

All what they're saying is just harmless playing
And is not going to sway my opinion
I don't wanna go there, its a disease ridden thoroughfare
You can tell from the colour there that its festering

CHORUS

A badge from the drunken night cuz sex is my kryptonite
I'm all puss and talking shite but I'm sizzling
Hold my breath I'm going in, jump headfirst so lets begin
I drank two thirds of a bottle of gin thanks  a million

CHORUS

For goodness sake you've started flacking
Its crispy bacon

Somethings on fire I'm certainly no crier
But I've warts n all I'm no liar its a big mistake
Three hours of pleasure - I took a fourth for good measure
Now I'm having a seizure and some skin flake

CHORUS

For goodness sake you've started flacking
Its crispy bacon
Pass the water, its Satan's daughter
I shouldn't oughta

CHORUS

Itch

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.

Just clicking the like button doesn't prove the tune has been listened to; anyone can click a like button, and if you don't comment because you think my music is crap in comparison to your own, please say so!

NOT SURE WHETHER LISTENERS SERIOUSLY UNDERESTIMATE MY CREATIVE TALENT, OR WHETHER I SERIOUSLY OVERESTIMATE IT!



The homophobe accuses me of being homosexual, the homosexual accuses me of being homophobic....the truth is, I'm neither! 


Confirmation that BIGOTRY = STUPIDITY! And that bigotry is widespread among the oppressed and the oppressor, the victim and the villain, the overlord and the underdog--which is why, when these groups change places, the roles are simply reversed--underdog becomes overlord, overlord becomes underdog! No one really wants TRUE JUSTICE, A BALANCED SOCIETY, they just want a single slice of the cake, they want the whole cake! 

We belong to 'THE ME FIRST GENERATION!'

If musicians you exchange support with were CYBER-SHUNNING a certain musician on Soundcloud and this was undeservedly destroying that musicians chances of getting heard, would you bow to peer pressure or would you continue supporting the musician they were targeting regardless?

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!
