Top quality madness....highly infectious chorus with a maniacal beat! Excellent.

There is a specific audience out there for your music, but it is impossible for that audience to find you BECAUSE that would involve searching through billions of online tunes (curse of the internet), and no one among us has yet figured out a foolproof way to reach it!

Here I'm back at the fun fair (in terms of the backing). The lyrics are belted out with vigour (reminds me somewhat of David Byrne crossed with Frank Zappa).

So much energy in this track, vocals are upbeat and catchy and instrumental is just awesome, great track

Funky fun!!! Cool lyrics! Great vocals!! 🙏🙏🙏

2023.5.12 気持ち悪さを5%カットして再投稿

夕暮れ時に浜辺を歩きました。
そして、歩き疲れてメキシコ料理店に入りました。
そのお店では、ビールやハイボールなどアルコール類がどれでも2杯+フライドポテト、たこ焼き2つついて1000円でとても安いです(1USD=131円 ※2023.3.23時点)。
そしてなんといっても、ナチョスが美味しい！のでお気に入りになりました。

夕陽がとても綺麗だったのでその時の気持ちを忘れないように曲にしたいと思いました。

関係ないけど、WBC楽しかった！ありがとう！


2023.5.12 Cut the disgust by 5% and repost!
I walked along the beach at dusk.
Then, tired of walking, I entered a Mexican restaurant.
At that shop, any alcoholic drink such as beer or highball is very cheap at 1000 yen for 2 glasses + french fries and 2 takoyaki (1USD = 131YEN *as of March 23, 2023).
And the nachos are delicious! So it became my favorite.

The sunset was so beautiful that I wanted to make it a song so that I wouldn't forget how I felt at that time.

It doesn't matter, but thank you WBC! was fun!

■歌詞
「夕暮れに酔って」
江の島から　歩く　浜辺を　夕暮れに
横一列　サーファーの影が　
最後の波を待つ　姿が映えるね
足を取られながら歩く　僕

黄金色に染まる世界
君も僕も　包まれていく

置きざり　自転車の　影 　伸びた　その先で
翼　広げたカラスは　何か言った

「オレト　オマエノ　キョウカイセンハ　アイマイダ」


鵠沼海岸　歩き　疲れた　夕暮れに
海辺の　メキシコ料理店　ナチョスとビールが良いね

黄金色に染まる世界
悩み事　どうでもよくなってきた

海岸線　走る　影　横切る　音
ハイボール　氷が溶けて　目を覚ます

僕とお前の境界線は確かに
曖昧だ　そして　広大だ
宇宙の果てまで　時間の果てまで

drunk at dusk　※夕暮れに酔って

<祈祷師に憑依したカラス>
ハイボール　ハイ　ハイ
ハイボール　サイカイ
ハーイ　ハーイ　ハイ
ハーイ　サイカイ　ホワァ
キェー　エイヤッサァ　メイデン

鵠沼海岸　歩き　疲れた　夕暮れに

■ lyrics
"drunk at dusk"
Walking along the beach from Enoshima
at dusk
Lined up horizontally, shadows of surfers waiting for the last wave are striking.
I walk with my feet caught in the sand

a world dyed in gold
Both you and I are wrapped up

Beyond the shadow of an abandoned bicycle
The crow that spread its wings said something

"The line between you and me is vague."


Kugenuma coast, walking in the tiring evening
Mexican restaurant by the sea, good nachos and beer

a world dyed in gold
I don't care about my troubles anymore

Shadows running along the coastline, sounds crossing...
The ice in the highball melts and wakes you up

The boundary between me and you is indeed vague
and vast
To the end of the universe To the end of time

drunk at dusk

<Crow possesses a Shaman>
highball high high
Highball Saikai
hi hi hi hi
Hi Sakai Hua
Kee Eiyassa Maiden

Kugenuma coast walking tired at dusk

DO THE CARDS SEEM STACKED TO YOU OR
ARE YOUR LUCKY STARS THE ISSUE
HAVE THE FATES THREE SINGLED OUT
ONE HUMAN FROM THE RACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ARE YOU SINKING TO YOUR KNEES OR
WILL YOU NAME THE DAY AND SIEZE
WILL YOU WATCH FRIENDS PASS YOU BY
OR DOMINATE THE RACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ZIPADEEDOODA ZIPADEEDAY

IS THAT GLEAM IN BOTH YOUR EYES OR
DOES YOUR LEFT LID SERVE TO DISGUISE
THE FEARS THAT CAST THE FIRST STONE
AND SMASHED ONE WINDOW OF YOUR SOUL

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

DOES YOUR LOW-LIFE SEEM KIND OF BLUE OR
DOES IT SUIT THE LIKES OF YOU
IS IT EVERYTHING YOU WANT OR
WOULD YOU LIKE A CHANGE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ZIPADEEDOODA ZIPADEEDAY

HAVE YOUR DREAMS SEEN ASH AND DUST
BLOWN UP IN YOUR FACE
IS YOUR WORLD AN EMPTY SHELL
SPIRALLING IN SPACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

No Ping, No Call

1 
Noone to report to
No Notes to write
Nobody to be filmed 
Inconspiciously with a mobile device
Noone to be observed to
No endless hanging out in the car
With a tele and cigarettes
Not even cuckolded husbands

ref
Walking down Main Str.
Along the shops and cinemas
Stop for an instant
What do they play so far ?  
No pursuit by car

2
Noone to report to
No Notes to write
Nobody to be filmed 
Inconspiciously with a mobile device
Noone to be observed to
No endless hanging out in the car
With coffee and muffins
No cuckolded husbands

Noone to respond to
No Notes to burn
No appartements to enter
No targets to be wired
Or pointed out
No marks and no remarks
Noone to be removed
Inconspiciously with a mobile device

ref
Walking down Main Str.
Along the shops and cinemas
Arrive at the main square
Sittin’ down at a table 
In a cafe bar

3
No pursuit by car,
Not on foot 
Nor by bike
No One-Trick-Pony 
To be applied
Not even the smallest bribery
No neighbourhood in question, 
Which as usual 
knows nothing 
about anything at all
No orders received
No things to do
No message on the prepaid
Now -  think about it,

out 
For quite some time
Nothing at all
No ping, no call…
Been quiet for some time
Nothing at all
No ping, no call…

No Ping, No Call...

Hire me On the Job

These are three songs that I believe belong together. I based them loosely on psalms types—imprecatory, lamentation, and psalm of ascent.

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE - STEVEN VELLOU (GOTHIC FUNK) & PAN AT THE PARADOX
>
RAINFALL IN MY LIFE, THE SUNSHINE NEVER CAME
I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE BUT THE SACRIFICE WAS IN VAIN 
EVERYTHING THE SAME AS ITʼS ALWAYS BEEN
NOW ALL THAT I HAVE LEFT ARE SOME BROKEN DREAMS

NOW MY DREAMS ARE TORN TO SHREDS 
BECAUSE I DIDNʼT THINK AHEAD
TRAPPED INSIDE A FANTASY
THE YEARS IʼVE LOST SHOULD WORRY ME

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE

DISTRACTED BY MY VANITY
THE DAYS ALL RAN AWAY FROM ME 
WITH DEEP REGRET 
I MUST FORGET EACH WASTED OPPORTUNITY

I FAIL TO REACH MY DESTINY
I LOST THE WAR WITH VANITY
IGNORING WARNINGS, STILL IN MOURNING 
SLAVE TO MY OWN FANTASY

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE 
IN DAYLIGHT DISAPPEAR FROM VIEW 
ONCE MORE THE FAITS CONSPIRE 
DOUSE UNFULFILLED DESIRES 
TORMENTING ME THIS DE JAVU

RAINFALL IN MY LIFE, THE SUNSHINE NEVER CAME
I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE BUT THE SACRIFICE WAS IN VAIN EVERYTHING THE SAME AS ITʼS ALWAYS BEEN
NOW ALL THAT I HAVE LEFT ARE MY BROKEN DREAMS

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS
NEVER SUCCESSFUL
PREQUEL TO SEQUEL
SURE TO END IN TEARS

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS

I’M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
NO ONE ESSENTIAL
WHO SHOULD NEVER BE SEEN OR HEARD
NO ONE ESSENTIAL
I BARELY EXIST

DISMISSED WITHOUT A HEARING
IT’S THE SPOON-FED WAY
THE BLANKEST GENERATION
HAS LITTLE TO SAY

JUDGED BY WHAT THEY SEE
DECIDE I COULDN’T BE
I SEEM TO DISAGREE
WITH THE POSSIBILITY
THAT MY CREATIVITY
IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE
FAR REMOVED FROM THE NORM 
POSSIBLY THE EXTRAORDINARY

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS
NEVER SUCCESSFUL
PREQUEL TO SEQUEL
SURE TO END IN TEARS

BRAINWASHED BY A TRENDY BEAT
BAD TASTE TAKES ITS TOLL
BUT I GO WHEREVER INSPIRATION TAKES ME
NO RECIPE, NO ROADMAP FOR ME

YOU MADE THE CHOICE TO SELL YOUR SOUL
BUT I MADE THE CONSCIOUS CHOICE
TO REMAIN WHOLE
NO RECIPE
AUTHENTICITY
CREATIVE INTEGRITY

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS
NEVER SUCCESSFUL
PREQUEL TO SEQUEL
SURE TO END IN TEARS

BREAK

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS
NEVER SUCCESSFUL
PREQUEL TO SEQUEL
SURE TO END IN TEARS

NO PIGEONHOLE DIVERSE APPROACH
CONFLICTS WITH MIND CONTROL
SHEEP THEY BLEAT, MORE OF THE SAME
PREFER OUR FOOD OF LOVE WHEN DROLL

I WAS BORN TO FAIL 
DISAPPEARING IN THE CROWD
I WAS NEVER MEANT TO SAIL 
I WAS NEVER MEANT TO SAIL THROUGH LIFE

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
MY WORDS, MY MUSIC

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!
