UPPERS BRING ME DOWN

MY CRAVING FOR AMPHETAMINES
AT LONG LAST PASSED ME BY
WAS NEVER ABOUT GETTING HIGH
WAS ALL ABOUT THE RUSH, NOW I DON’T KNOW WHY

WHEN I’M UP I TAKE SOMETHING TO BRING ME DOWN
AND WHEN I’M DOWN I TAKE SOMETHING TO GET ME HIGH
BUT WHEN I’M NEITHER UP OR DOWN
I TAKE A PHENOBARBITONE AND FACE THE WORLD ALONE
FACE THE WORLD ALONE

ANTIPSYCHOTIC….ANTIPSYCHOTIC
ANTIPSYCHOTIC
INTRODUCED ME 
ANTIPSYCHOTIC
TO REALITY
ANTIPSYCHOTIC ANTIPSYCHOTIC
ANTIPSYCHOTIC  ANTIPSYCHOTIC
WOULD THEY STRAIGHTEN ME OUT
OR FILL ME WITH DOUBT
ANTIPSYCHOTIC
INTRODUCED ME TO REALITY
ANTIPSYCHOTIC

WITHOUT THE UPS AND DOWNS
I’D BE STUCK IN CRUISE CONTROL
EVERY DAY WOULD BE THE SAME
REPETITION TORTURING MY BRAIN

UPPERS BRING ME DOWN
ESCAPING THE NORM SEEKING EITHER EXTREME
UPPERS BRING ME DOWN
I ALWAYS FEEL TORN AND THERE’S NO TIME TO DREAM
UPPERS BRING ME DOWN
I ENJOY THE SENSATION, NOTHING AS IT SEEMS
UPPERS BRING ME DOWN
CHAOTIC EMOTIONS, THINKING I’M A MACHINE

BRING ME DOWN
AM I A YO YO ON A ROLLERCOASTER
BRING ME DOWN
SOMETIMES I THINK SO, SOMETIMES I DON’T KNOW
BRING ME DOWN
SOMETIMES I’M HIGHER THAN HIGH, SOMETIME I'M LOWER THAN LOW
SOMETIMES I’M HIGH

PILL POPPING MACHINE
I CAN NEVER STAY CLEAN
IN BETWEEN BOUTS OF SNIFFING GLUE
MY ADDICTION IS RESIDUE

UPPERS BRING ME DOWN vocal

JERKING OFF GHOSTS

AND HUMPING FLAGS

WHICH DOES HE PREFER MOST
Y.M.C.A.
IT’S A TOSS UP, OF COURSE
Y.M.C.A.

SHOW ME A FLAGPOLE
I’LL SHOW YOU MY HOLE
GIVES ME A BONER
I ALWAYS LOSE CONTROL

WHEN I’M VERBALING SHITE
OR MY BUM NEEDS A WIPE
I REACH FOR
THE STARS AND THE STRIPES

JERKING OFF GHOSTS
Y.M.C.A.
AND HUMPING FLAGS
Y.M.C.A.
TRUMP’S THE NAME
Y.M.C.A.
I’M ALLERGIC TO FAGS

JERKING OFF GHOSTS
STIFF AS A BOARD
PUMPING THOSE FISTS
WANKING OFF GHOSTS
JERKING OFF GHOSTS
STIFF AS A BOARD

I REACH FOR
THE STARS AND THE STRIPES

SHOW ME A FLAGPOLE
I’LL SHOW YOU MY HOLE
GIVES ME A BONER
I ALWAYS LOSE CONTROL

AMONGST HIS MANY OTHER QUIRKS
TRUMP LOVES TO JERK OFF MAGA JERKS
HITS THEM HARDEST WHERE IT HURTS
OFF THEIR BACKS HE TAKES THEIR SHIRTS

JERKING OFF GHOSTS
AND HUMPING FLAGS
TRUMP IS THE CHUMP
TURNING RICHES TO RAGS

MASTURBATING GHOSTS
WHILE HE’S SHAGGING THE FLAG
PROVES HE’S EITHER PATRIOTIC
OR A BIT OF A SLAG

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
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

THE BROOD inst

This is the disorder I've suffered with since childhood; primarily responsible for me doing nothing with my life, doing nothing with my music.

NO FRIENDS ANONYMOUS

CRACKHEAD AT THE GO GO

THREE DIFFERENT PLACES

Wishing All Of This Was In My Head

The Amyl Nitrate Quartet is a bit tongue-in-cheek, slightly satirical, off the wall, zany, quirky, experimental, a bit punky, a bit funky, neither one thing or the other, accidentally fusing a multitude of genres!

UGLY AS SIN


YOU MUST POSSESS
A BEAUTY WITHIN
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY
CAUSE NOW YOU ARE UGLY AS SIN

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A PHOTOGRAPHER’S DREAM
THAT RIDICULOUS CHIN
AND THE CHEEKIEST GRIN

YOU MUST HAVE HAD A SMILE THAT COULD WIN
SEND A HEART IN A SPIN
PAIR OF EYES THAT COULD SWIM
AND THE SOFTEST OF SKIN

I MUST CONFESS I WAS YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN
BUT THEN YOUR BODY CLOCK SHE WENT CRAZY
AND YOU JUST SWELLED LIKE A DAMN

YOU USE TO BE A WOW WITH THE MEN
BUT THEN THE SWELLING BEGAN
KINDA RUINED THE TAN

IT MUST HAVE WIPED THE SMILE OF YOUR CLOCK
LEFT YOUR BOX WITHOUT LOCKS
GIVE YOUR SHELL SUCH A SHOCK
AND YOUR EGO A KNOCK

YOU MUST POSSESS
A BEAUTY WITHIN
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY
BUT NOW YOU ARE STRIPPED OF YOUR SKIN

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A BEAM OF THE SUN
BUT YOU GREW TO BECOME
THE ONE PEOPLE WILL SHUN

YOU MUST HAVE SUFFERED SEVERAL SHOCKS
WITH THE LOSS OF YOUR LOCKS
FROM THE TOP OF YOUR BOX
WIPED THE SMILE OF YOUR CLOCK

YOU MUST POSSESS
A BEAUTY WITHIN
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY
CAUSE NOW YOU ARE UGLY AS SIN


YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A PHOTOGRAPHER’S DREAM
WITH YOUR MAGNETIC BEAM
AS WIDE AS A SCREEN

YOU MUST HAVE SUNK A COUPLE OF SHIPS
WHEN YOU WIGGLED YOUR HIPS
WHEN YOU PUCKERED YOUR LIPS
AND SPAT OUT THE PIPS

BREAK

YOU MUST POSSESS
A BEAUTY WITHIN
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY
CAUSE NOW YOU ARE UGLY AS SIN

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A PHOTOGRAPHERS DREAM
WITH YOUR MAGNETIC BEAM
AS WIDE AS THE SCREEN

YOU MUST HAVE SUNK A COUPLE OF SHIPS
WHEN YOU WIGGLED YOUR HIPS
WHEN YOU PUCKERED YOUR LIPS
AND MADE WITH THE QUIPS

I MUST MAKE TESTS
EXAMINE YOUR SCAN
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN THE CONSUMATE LADY
BUT YOU HAVE THE MOUTH OF A MAN

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A BUNDLE OF FUN
LIKE ATTILA THE HUN
NEVER SHORT OF A PUN

YOU EVEN REINVENTED THE RAP
WITH YOUR FREUDIAN SLIPS
WITH A SHOWER OF SPIT
OF YOUR TONGUE WORDS WOULD TRIP

YOU MUST CONFESS
YOU’RE ONE HELL OF A MESS
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN THE BONNIEST BABY
BUT NOW YOU ARE TWO TON LIKE TESS



YOU’VE JUST BEGUN
TO PILE ON THE FLESH
WILL YOU BLOCK OUT THE SUN
WELL IT’S ANYONE’S GUESS

YOU USE TO STRUT YOUR STUFF WITH THE BEST
NOW YOUR THIGHS HAVE GONE WEST
NOW THERE’S MORE TO LOVE LESS
YOU EXPLODE FROM A DRESS

I MUST CONFESS I WAS YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN
BUT THEN YOUR BODY CLOCK SHE WENT CRAZY
AND YOU JUST SWELLED LIKE A DAM

YOU USE TO BE A WOW WITH THE MEN
BUT THE SWELLING BEGAN
KINDA RUINED THE TAN

IT MUST HAVE WIPED THE SMILE OF YOUR CLOCK
LEFT YOUR BOX WITHOUT LOCKS
GIVE YOUR SHELL SUCH A SHOCK
AND YOUR EGO A KNOCK

UGLY AS SIN

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!

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!

GROOVE CONTROL

WE ONLY SEE THE THINGS THAT WE WANNA SEE (Βλέπουμε μόνο τα πραγματα ότι εμείς θέλω να δω) Wir sehen nur die Dinge das wir möchte sehen

The audience my music can reach is limited by my no boundaries, on the fly, go with the flow, unruly approach; it means occasional tracks will appeal to those with particular tastes, but all of it will appeal to the select few who like anything different!

Why Leave Feedback?
#HYPE from other musicians is a whole lot more effective than #HYPING yourself!
If I come and listen to your stuff and leave feedback will you do the same for me? I’m not looking for follows and likes, which achieve nothing on their own; I’m talking #GENUINE listens and GENUINE feedback!
LET’S GET BACK INTO THE HABIT OF SWAPPING SUPPORT; everyone loses when we snub each other’s music!

WE ONLY SEE THE THINGS THAT WE WANNA SEE (Βλέπουμε μόνο τα πραγματα ότι εμείς θέλω να δω)

ORSON'S PLAY (The World Will End On Tuesday)

My approach to making music is to go wherever it takes me!

Last place I wish to go is where lust for fame & fortune might take me!

ONE DAY WE WILL ALL FORGET (The Name Of Every Country)

QUASI-ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRE IN THE PARK AFTER DARK

CHARLTON HESTON'S COLD DEAD HANDS

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

WAS MET BY A FANFARE
THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
SIX IN THE MORNING
ARRIVED WITH OUT WARNING

HE FELL OUT OF THE SKY
NOBODY BELIEVED HIM
IT CAME AS NO SURPRISE
THAT IT ALL CAME TO NOTHIN'

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

HIS ACCUSERS, ON A HIGH
BOTH THE FOOLISH AND THE WISE
PREACH THE UNIVERSAL LIE
INSISTING HE MUST DIE

AS THE HECKLERS MULTIPLY
HIS EXISTENCE, THEY DENY
HIS REJECTION AND DEJECTION
A WRITTEN IN CONCRETE PROPHECY

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

A WORD TO THE UNWISE
THERE IS NO SOLUTION
IF YOU THINK THAT YOU KNOW WHY
YOU ARE IN FOR A BIG SURPRISE

YOU LOOK IN THE RIGHT PLACE
BUT LOOK AT THE WRONG TIME
THE TRUTH IS ALL AROUND YOU
BUT NOTHING CAN OPEN YOUR EYES

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

THE ABILITY TO REASON OR THINK FOR YOURSELF
HAS DEPARTED THIS WORLD, AND DESERTED THE PEOPLE

BEYOND THE POINT OF REDEMPTION
YOUR'E THE BLANK GENERATION
YOUR LACK OF INVENTION
GIVING WAY TO PRETENSION

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

YOU MISTAKE THE GENII FOR JERKS
BUT FOR THE JERKS YOU GO BERSERK
AND PLACE THE JACKASS RAPPER
ON THE PEDESTAL HE BOUGHT

WHILE BORN AGAIN BOWIE
STARES YOU IN THE FACE
AWASH WITH NO PUBLICITY
DESTINED TO VANISH WITHOUT TRACE

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

SWALLOWED UP IN A SEA
OF MEDIOCRITY
WHERE THE KING IS IMITATION
WITH THE PUBLIC ALWAYS LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

HE'S ECLECTIC, HE'S PERSISTENT
HIS SONGWRITING; CONSISTENT
TO EVERY PASSING WHIM
HE'S ETERNALLY RESISTANT

THE WIDTH OF HIS IMAGINATION
EVIDENT IN HIS CREATIONS
BEYOND ALL EXPECTATION
USHERS HIM FROM STATION TO STATION

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

NON-EXISTENT BOUNDARIES
THE CORE OF HIS BELIEFS
WITHIN A BOX THAT HAS NO SIDES
THE UNIVERSE IS HIS FRUSTRATION

EVERYBODY ELSE IS WRONG
AND SURE TO UNDERRATE THIS SONG
THAT'S WHY I THINK I DON'T BELONG
THAT'S WHY I'M SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTANCE

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

WITHIN MY MIND, EXISTING WALLS
LIKE JERICHO, AFTER THE FALL
WERE PULVERIZED AND GROUND TO DUST
THOUGH THEY WERE NEVER THERE AT ALL

IF ONLY THEY WOULD DROP THE ACT
PARTITION FICTION FROM THE FACTS
MY ONLY MISSION, STILL INTACT
WOULD BE THE ONE I CAN'T RECALL

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

THE SUPERFICIAL MAKE SICK
CAN ONLY TURN A SINGLE TRICK
BUT PLASTIC PEOPLE ALWAYS WIN
IT'S ALL ABOUT SURFACE SKIN

IT'S DANGEROUS TO BE 

DANGEROUSLY DIFFERENT
TO THE SHEEP, I'M NON-EXISTENT
BEING DEEP IS AN AFFLICTION
SAYS THE UNNATURAL SELECTION

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

TO DISAGREE WOULD BE SIN
TO SWIM AGAINST THE SEA OF MAN
WILL PUT YOU WAY OUT ON A LIMB
AND VULNERABLE TO EXECUTION

I HATE THE WAY THE MASSES THINK
THE MEDIOCRITY THEY DRINK
THEIR MOUTHS ALL MOVE IN PERFECT SYNC
WHEN OTHERS DO, THEY ALSO BLINK

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

I'M HAPPY THAT MY MIND IS FREE
MY 'DON'T BELONG' PHILOSOPHY
THE LIFEBLOOD OF HUMANITY
WILL GIVE MY PSYCHE FULL PROTECTION

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEONS OF POP

THAT'S WHEN IT HURTS ME THE MOST

Don't let the MUSIC INDUSTRY FOOL YOU, the best tunes around today are #UNSIGNED, #INDEPENDENT & #UNDERGROUND!

THE LINCOLN PROJECT

Some of the best music around today is #UNSIGNED so don’t dismiss it without a listen; it is a #MYTH that it is inferior to #SIGNED music!

In the WRONG PLACE at THE WRONG TIME with THE WRONG MINDSET, apparently making THE #WRONG #MUSIC, but it feels #RIGHT to ME!

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!
