Alas, the listens are not real; just bots at work, but what the end goal is, your guess is as good as mine!

Wonderful tune ... great voice ... that’s the I like more till jet !! Thanks to share it with all of us

great voice, you should be doing voice overs...

All the FAKE (BOT) LISTENS give the impression that a tune must be awful because the likes are not accompanied by feedback. People are influenced by how much positive feedback a tune receives, if it doesn't receive any yet appears to receive lots of listens (bot listens) they add two and two together and get five; they conclude, all those listens and no feedback, this tune must disappoint everyone who's heard it--that assumption would only have value IF bots had ears and a mind to actually process the tune!

You go in on this one, I love the darker lyrics, the melody is real nice and the instrumental is smoothhhhhh

Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate one self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

Lofty Castle

It speaks for itself : )

Silent Night (instrumental)

I'm Sorry

I have bourne the weight of prophecy 
bent beneath the eyes last watching me 
spying on me for my criminality 
waiting for my stumble 
cause they’re afraid to be 
what they see in me 
so they tell the world I’m trouble 
Yea 
and I have feasted on the river bend
slumbered on the pebbled shore
wakened by the milky moon oh
her lips upon the water
falling stars cascading through a hole she tore in a fabric…whole no more
absent from the heavens 
      to knock upon my door
   and don’t you want to know?
the issue at that parlay 
what the moon came asking for?
Yea 
I have bourne the weight of prophecy 
bent beneath the eyes last watching me 
unbelieving and unable to receive such lunacy 
Oh
The composition 
the vision
the cruelty-ambition 
and ain’t it fitting that as chapters go
pages turning 
empires burning 
Yet she
confides in me

Milky Moon (amped)

alright now…

for the fallen (for they have risen)…

The instrumental is called I'M SHAFT by R.B. Freeman; his vocal version is brilliantly witty to begin with. My version is a satirical Vampire song:
>
EXPELLED THROUGH LUSTY RUBY LIPS
A STENCH SEDUCTIVE BLOWS THE MIND
THENCE TRANCE INDUCED HYPNOSIS GRIPS
AND WEAVES A SPELL THAT BITES AND BINDS
>
CAN TURN YOUR RED BLOOD INTO WINE
CAN STOP YOUR BODY CLOCK IN TIME
COMMIT THE PERFECT UNSOLVED CRIME
CAN TERMINATE YOUR FAMILY LINE
>
NO AFTERSHAVE
JUST BATED BREATH
ONE WHIFF OF BLOOD
HE BAYS AND SENSES BLISS
>
THE BELLING RINGS LIKE PROPHESY
HIS LOVE BARK IS A PRELUDE TO
HIS BLISSFUL VAMPIRE KISS
>
THE NECROMANIAN NECKMAN OF THE NIGHT
THE TRANSYLVANIAN BLUEBLOOD
WITH THE RED BLOOD OF A LEGION VIRGINS
COURSING THROUGH A CARCASS
PARANOID OF LIGHT
>
FOR MEN THEY WERE
WHEN THEY BEGAN
UNTIL THE CHANGELING INHUMAN
RAVENOUS FOR LIQUID LIFE
>
RAVENOUS FOR LIQUID LIFE!
>
YES, RAVENOUS FOR LIQUID LIFE!
>
F-F-F-FELL UPON EACH HAPLESS DRIFTER
DRANK HIM DRY 
AND TOOK THE DOGGY BAG HOME FOR HIS WIFE
HAD A FEAST WITH THE BEASTS
AND THE CREEPY CRAWLIES
>
HE LOVES THE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT
>
AH MY SISTERS AND MY BROTHERS
WELCOME TO MY ABODE!
>
THE CONCEPT OF EXISTENCE
A DODO PAST ITS SELL-BY DATE
IS DUE - TO BE - REVAMPED
>
MOONLIGHTERS IN DENTISTRY
HAVE FOUND IF THEY AVOID THE DAY
THE PROJECT SIGNED IN BLOOD IS RUBBER STAMPED
>
REVAMPED
REVAMPED
REVAMPED
>
I’M A NIGHT CREATURE
FROM A DOUBLE FEATURE
BELA LUGOSI IS A BROTHER OF MINE
WE’RE FROM DIFFERENT FAMILY TREES
BUT WE SHARE THE SAME BLOODLINE
I’M A DEMONIC INFESTATION
I’M THE DOORWAY TO A WORLD OF SIN
>
LET’S GO! LET’S GO!
>
I LIE IN WAIT
FOR THE NIGHTMARE TO BEGIN
WRAPPED INSIDE MY OVERCOAT IN A CEMETERY OF SIN
>
LOCKED BENEATH THE SACRED DUSTS 
THAT FOLD ME LIKE A SKIN
DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS 
YOU CAN FIND ME THERE……………
>
AT THE NECROPOLIS
AT THE NECROPOLIS
THE NECROPOLIS
SWING SHIFT CITY OF THE DEAD

I’VE BEEN REVAMPED!

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!
