THE FUNKIEST SIDE OF GOTHIC FUNK

THE GOTHIEST SIDE OF GOTHIC FUNK

THE ACID HIP TRIP TRAP HOP ADVENTURES OF GOTHIC FUNK

Some of my Soundcloud Favourites #195

One tune, 10 tunes, even 20 tunes, says nothing about the extent and diversity of an artist’s creativity, and that is why I am understandably dismissed; it’s the VOLUME of my work that SPEAKS VOLUMES, not one, 10, 20 tunes!

No one will conclude my creativity is anything exceptional based on hearing one or two tunes, there are many musicians who have created a handful of great tunes, that on a one to one basis, may even sound superior to mine; I can think of thousands of tunes that I am envious of, in a healthy way, wishing I could come up with something like that, so I'm not deluded as to think anything of mine is better than anything out, that would be ridiculous, but I do think its my whole catalogue of creations that speaks volumes, the endless diversity, the off-the-wall, no rules, no boundaries, invention, and my lyrics, that all suggest I'm dismissed, underrated, overlooked, too easily.
Unfortunately, it's the way it is, who has time or the inclination to explore a whole library of music by an unsigned, unknown, musician!

ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE ARTISTS ON SOUNDCLOUD, but no one will ever know!

I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME, STEVE!

NOT THE WAY THAT IT APPEARS
BUT THE SUM OF ALL MY FEARS
REDUCES ME TO TEARS

WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

I MAY SEEM KIND OF WIERD
THAT’S WHY YOU DISAPPEARED
THAT’S WHY I’M ALL ALONE IN THIS WORLD

AS A CHILD I LOST MY WAY
IT’S STILL WITH ME TO THIS DAY
I GUESS IT MUST BE TRUE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
THAT SOME OF US ARE MEANT TO PAY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE

PLAYING BACK THOSE AWKWARD MOMENTS
NO ESCAPING, NEVER FREE
ON MY MIND AND ON REWIND 
EVERY SCENE, INDIGNITY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

WHAT YOU’RE SEEING ISN’T SMUGNESS
WHAT YOU SEE, IN FACT, IS SHAME
ORCHESTRATE MY OWN DURESS
ULTIMATELY, I’M TO BLAME

ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES:

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
AND THEN I FREEZE

Lyrics:
Listen from far beyond
listen you crowd of loss
listen you all, a generation of pain 
that felt destruction so close

listen people who wheep
that you are the chosen sheep
a sheep that will live, forever you will
and without any bleed

and the seasons are changing
and the days are passing by, while fighting the good fight
and the time feels like raging, an unstoppable light 
and now i am saying...you can't go wrong! 

I hear some people sing, 
i hear some people scream,
i know we all, being under the sky  
in this place where we breathe and dream

listen around the globe,
embrace what u  really love
with body and soul you have to give in
 and never let it go!

You Can't Go Wrong!

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER
BETTER THAN US
THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER
BETTER THAN US

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
BUT THEY ARE FREE TO THINK
WHATEVER THEY WANT
IT’S WHAT THEY DO WITH THOSE THOUGHTS
THE WAY THAT THEY CHEAT AND EXTORT

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
SIMPLY BECAUSE, WELL, SIMPLY BECAUSE….
OUR VALUE DETERMINED BY THE THINGS THAT WE OWN
BUT WE’RE SIMPLY ROLLING STONES
WHO HAVE GATHERED NO MOSS

THINKING THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
WELL, IT COMES AT A COST
AND WE’RE ALWAYS THE ONES
WHO MUST SHOULDER THE LOSS

ALWAYS BEEN THIS GULF
BETWEEN THE FIRST AND THE LAST
THIS GREAT DIVIDE
WILL NEVER BE A THING OF THE PAST

EXPECTING OUR SUBSERVIENCE
BECAUSE IT’S WHAT WE’RE TAUGHT
WE DON’T FORGET OUR PLACE
THAT WE’RE NOT REALLY THEIR SORT

WE OCCUPY THE SAME TIME
BUT NOT THE SAME SPACE
A SOCIAL NORM TABOO
WOULD BE COMING FACE TO FACE


THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
BUT THINKING THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
MAKES US BETTER THAN THEM

LOOKING DOWN, LOOKING DOWN
LOOKING DOWN ON US

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
WE’RE THE UNTOUCHABLE ONES
WE’RE DISPOSABLE SCUM
ONE STEP UP FROM ZERO
THE CONTEMPTIBLE ONES

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
WE DON’T DESERVE OPINIONS
DON’T DESERVE TO FEEL THE SUN
FOR THIS IS THEIR DOMINION AND
WE MUST LIVE OFF THEIR CRUMBS

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
BUT THINKING THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
MAKES US BETTER THAN THEM

BREAK

WHAT THEY FEEL

LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
DESERVING OF CONTEMPT
WE’RE THE CONTEMPTIBLE ONES

WHAT THEY FEEL
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE

ALLOWING US TO BREATHE
THE SAME AIR THEY BREATHE
IS A PHILANTHROPIC ACT TO THEM
THAT’S WHAT THEY BELIEVE

WHAT THEY FEEL
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE

WE’RE THE UNTOUCHABLE ONES
WE’RE DISPOSABLE SCUM
ONE STEP UP FROM ZERO
WHAT THEY FEEL
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE

THE CONTEMPTIBLE ONES
WE DON’T DESERVE OPINIONS

narration: the lure of ancient lore derives partly from all the huge gaps in the stories that allow poets to fill in whatever they consider fit. nice.  this poem centers around the mythical figure of Wodan/Odin - often regarded as an older equivalent to Hermes/Mercury (who is supposed to be all youthful) due to their inspired furors - his visit to Mimir‘s well and his two ravens whose sight spans the globe … in the case of this poem, time as well ....

poem / copyright jo richter: 

a double raven
tatooed in his mind
with a beak of dark silver
and a wingspan to blind

one eye pierces
all that has been
the other fills with
what will be seen

no-stone drops sharply
ripples in truth
that pass through the void
in invisible hues

Nephilim

Born of darkness
Shadow conspiracy
Embodiment of Evil
Rebellion’s cursed seed 

[chorus]
Don’t believe the evil report,
do not be deceived
Over the powers of darkness
victory is achieved

When giants walked the earth
with hearts as black as night
Endless hunger for flesh and blood,
they left none alive

Built altars to false gods,
sharpened weapons of war
Brought murder to mankind,
sacrifices and horror

And when their flesh had died,
an end of their cursed line
Their demonic spirits roamed
with hatred for mankind

Roaming the shadows,
whisper hate and lies 
Plant seeds of corruption,
masquerade as our minds

Now demons roam the earth,
spirits as black as night
Deception is their weapon,
but it is no match for the light

[chorus]
Don’t believe the evil report,
do not be deceived
Over the powers of darkness
victory is achieved

Walking in circles

It feels like forever
but I keep going on
I find myself 
walking in circles

Mind keeps spinning
with what came before
as my feet wear a groove 
in the floor

It’s hard to admit
When we are wrong
We must try because 
the truth will go on

We walk in circles
Without end
Until we realize
We’ve started again

Walking in circles
Until we all fall down

This useless mental game
gambles for an answer
Or for someone
or something to blame

If we can’t forgive others
We will never find
forgiveness or trust

it’s not too late
To break the chains of hate
that bind us to this wheel
and grind us down to dust

We walk in circles
without end
Until we realize
we’ve started again

[chorus]
Walking in circles
Until we all fall down

Listen, leave feedback, and I PROMISE to do the same for you! Swapping support and hype is FREE PROMOTION; paying for promotion is throwing money away on a SCAM! @Steven A Horne @MusiciansWithVision

Likes alone don't do anything; only feedback brings more listeners!

Feedback keeps the post in circulation, and it serves as hype; people respond to hype; on the other hand, viewers see posts without feedback and assume it must be crap so they don't even bother to listen; psychology!

Some of the best music on Soundcloud gets no attention precisely because of this negative psychology! 

And some genres are pushed right out of the picture, even though the artist is making some to finest music on there!

SPEAKING SEMAPHORICALLY

I'M CONFIDENT THAT THE TUNES ON THIS PAGE STAND UP TO ANYTHING DAFT PUNK or equivalent bands HAVE DONE! To prove me wrong you would need to listen; give these tunes several listens and I think you will come to the same conclusion!

GROOVE CONTROL

Practice HUMANITARIAN SOCIALISM and prove to the world that we’re not just bog-standard, self-absorbed, one-dimensional, musicians--actively contribute to making this world a better place....DON'T JUST CRUISE, ROCK THE BOAT!

Together we can go further than if we each go it alone! Genuine support, genuine listens, genuine likes, genuine, meaningful, #feedback, encourages you, encourages me, #encourages all of us; motivates us, #inspires us, lifts our spirits--I know it does mine....positive feedback puts me on a high for the rest of the day!

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!

BRING ME THE HEAD OF THE GOVERNING BODY

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!
