I BREAK ALL THE RULES DEFINING THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SIMPLY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THEM! 

AND BECAUSE THEY ARE UNFAMILIAR, UNPREDICTABLE, FROM ONE CREATION TO THE NEXT, ONE TUNE WILL ONLY TELL YOU AS MUCH AS READING ONE PAGE OF A NOVEL, AND ONE LISTEN, NO MORE THAN A PARAGRAPH :)

ITSY BITSY NEW GUINEA (THE ONLY PLACE ON EARTH WHERE HERMAPHRODITE TURNED)

THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE

VICTIM EXPECTED TO LIVE LIKE VICTIM
DIE....DIE....DIE LIKE A VICTIM
INNOCENT CHILD CAUGHT UP IN THE CONFUSION
WHY....WHY....WHY ALLL THE FRICTION

WE'RE ALL VICTIMS OF THE SYSTEM
WE'RE ALL VICTIMS OF THE SYSTEM

TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, MUCH LIKE TODAY....
TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, MUCH LIKE TODAY....

FOOLISHLY WE THINK WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM
BUT DRINKING IN DEFEAT IS AS CLOSE AS WE'LL EVER COME
NOTHING CAN CHANGE WHAT HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED
MANY HAVE TRIED, BUT HAVE DIED BEFORE IT LEFT THE PAGE

TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY

TOMORROW WILL BE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY
THE SUN RISING IN THE EAST, BUT REFUSING TO STAY
OH, AND NOTHING CAN STOP THE TIDAL WAVES OF HISTORY
THE SUN RISING IN THE EAST, BUT REFUSING TO STAY

NOTHING CAN REPEL THE TIDAL WAVE OF MISERY
AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE THE BLOODY COURSE OF HISTORY
NOTHING WILL DEFLECT THE BITTER BLOWS OF TRAGEDY
AND NO ONE CAN PROTECT THE INNOCENT FROM THE GUILTY

FOOLISHLY WE THINK....WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM
FOOLISHLY WE THINK....WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM

ALTHOUGH WE KNOW WE CAN NEVER BEAT THEM
WE WILL NEVER JOIN THEM
WE KNOW WE CAN NEVER BEAT THEM
BUT WE'LL NEVER....NEVER....NEVER JOIN THEM

SELLING OUT TO THEM SHOULD BE OUR BIGGEST FEAR
PROTECTING OUR INTEGRITY, OUR WHOLE CAREER
IF WE RETAIN OUR DIGNITY WE'RE VICTIMS IN THE FLESH
BUT OUR SOULS ARE ONE COMMODITY....
THEY CAN ONLY SECOND GUESS

DON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN
DON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN
WON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN

DIE LIKE A VICTIM

WEREWOLVES OF LONDON
MADE A PACT WITH THE BRETHREN
FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL WITH KITH AND KIN
OVER A FIVE-POINTED PENTAGON

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE

LYCANTHROPE
BRUSHED HIS COAT
FUMBLED FOR THE ANTIDOTE

FOR THE VERY FIST TIME
THE PORTENTS AND SIGNS
WERE MAKING SOME SENSE
EXPLAINING THE CRIMES

ONCE LARRY TALBOT READ THE VERSE
HIS VIOLENT OUTBURST IN THE HEARSE
THE ONE WHERE LARRY LOST HIS SHIRT
MADE SOME SENSE, WHICH MADE THINGS WORSE


LYCANTHROPE, A PRIMAL FORCE
IS EVOLUTION IN REVERSE
AND THAT FUR COAT THAT HUGS YOUR SKIN
GOES DEEPER THAN YOUR NEXT OF KIN

AS LARRY TALBOT READS THE VERSE
HIS MOUTH IS DRY, HIS LIPS ARE PURSED
THAT CRAVING HE HAS NURSED:
A JUGULAR MIGHT QUENCH THAT THIRST

WEREWOLVES OF LONDON
MADE A PACT WITH THE BRETHREN
FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL WITH KITH AND KIN
OVER A FIVE-POINTED PENTAGON

PEN-TA-GON....FIVE-POINTED STAR

WEREWOLVES WALK AMONG THEM
PRESENTING A CONUNDRUM
THINK ONE BLOOD TRANSFUSION
WILL BE ENOUGH
WILL BE ENOUGH TO STOP....SILVER BULLETS
TO STOP THE DISCHARGE FROM A GUN

SILVER BULLETS FILL THE AIR
CAUGHT BETWEEN THE TEETH, ONE MILLION NOSTRILS FLARE

WEIRDWOLVES OF LONDON

LITTLE MISS ELUSIVE
EPHEMERAL MESSIAH
YOUR MIST IS HERE A LITTLE WHILE
THEN QUICKLY DISAPPEARS
	
WHY DO I KEEP TRYING
WHEN TRYING BRINGS YOU NEAR
WOULD THAT I JUST CLOSE THE DOOR
PRETEND THAT YOU’RE NOT HERE

BRIEFER THAN THE TWINKLE IN A MAYFLY’S EYE
LIKE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ACID THAT MELT UNDER SUN
LOVE; A BIRD OF PASSAGE IN A TRANSIENT SKY
APPEARING / DISAPPEARING LIKE THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM

WHY DO I KEEP CRYING 
WHEN NO ONE SEES THE TEARS
WHY DO I KEEP REACHING OUT
WHEN NO ONE EVEN CARES

WHAT’S THE POINT OF CRYING
WHEN NO ONE SEES THE TEARS
WHEN FRANKLY DEARS DON’T GIVE A DAMN
AND LOVE IS INSINCERE

BRIEFER THAN THE TWINKLE IN A MAYFLY’S EYE
LIKE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ACID THAT MELT UNDER SUN
LOVE; A BIRD OF PASSAGE IN A TRANSIENT SKY
APPEARING / DISAPPEARING LIKE THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM

LADY PRIMADONNA 
QUENCHER OF DESIRE
RAINS ON EVERY LOVE PARADE
AND QUELLS THE INNER FIRE

INDIAN AND GIVER
EQUIVOCAL DOVE
BRINGS THE GIFT OF TROJAN LOVE
THAT TAKES YOUR WILL TO LIVE

BRIEFER THAN THE TWINKLE IN A MAYFLY’S EYE
LIKE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ACID THAT MELT UNDER SUN
LOVE; A BIRD OF PASSAGE IN A TRANSIENT SKY
APPEARING / DISAPPEARING LIKE THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM

WHO CAN FATHOM YOUR ORIGIN:
BELOW OR ABOVE

CHANGING LIKE THE WEATHER
AN INVISIBLE AGENDA
THE GREATER EIGHTH WONDER
AND THE GREATEST PRETENDER

BRIEFER THAN THE TWINKLE IN A MAYFLY’S EYE
LIKE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ACID THAT MELT UNDER SUN
LOVE; A BIRD OF PASSAGE IN A TRANSIENT SKY
APPEARING / DISAPPEARING LIKE THE STAR OF BETHLHEM

WHY DO I KEEP WAKING UP 
WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE
WHY MUST I DRINK FROM THE CUP
OF OVERFLOWING TEARS

WHAT’S THE POINT OF STAYING
THE FATES ARE SO UNFAIR
MY SEVEN DAYS OF WAXING PASSED
I’VE WANED FOR SEVEN YEARS

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!
