I've removed a few tunes, because I won't support musicians who take sides in disputes; I despise mob mentality!
>
To draw a straight line between NO LISTENS and the quality and substance of music is unadulterated, simple minded, rank stupidity, so don't be discouraged, if no one is listening to your music, it's likely because the right audience can't FIND your music!
>
The internet is now so FLOODED with music there is more chance of finding a needle in a haystack than the right audience finding your creations, but let's keep doing it for the love it anyway! 
>
Perhaps the time will come when those just seeking fame and fortune will wise up and drop out of the race, leaving the field clear for those motivated solely by passion, and perhaps prospectors, tired of being spoon-fed, fired up by curiosity, thirsty for authenticity and invention, may one day dig up those gems of yours, so KEEP ON KEEPING ON, let passion guide your creativity!

SUPPORT gathers MOMENTUM when RECIPROCATED vol 2

you've only been here a short while
and i already hate you
you've taken what was mine
and i can't forgive you...

you got a God complex
you think you're so superior
you think you know best...?
ha! i beg to differ....

oh... why d'you do what you do to me?
oh... why d'you do what you do to me?

i'm not blind, i'm sick of the sight of you
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you
i'm not blind...

in your ivory tower
with your guns and toys...
if you don't want a war
then don't ignore my voice!

oh why d'you do what you do to me...?
oh why d'you do what you do to me...?

i'm not blind, i'm sick of the sight of you!
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you!
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you!
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you

i'm sick of the sight of you
just sick of the sight of you

i'm not blind... i fucking hate you!

We Got A Situation

Know Your Phsychedelia
The feeling has been gathered man
By an eternal soul
He holds it with great passion man
To open now the door
The door to phsychedelia man
Where life is realized
And feelings are forgotten man
As fantasy is combined.
The truth Is now revealing man
The dealing starts to glow
The fire is your breathing air
The water is your flow.
Your thought is disappearing man
Inside the cave of call,
Where hearing sounds of clearness
Has always given all.
And now your phsychedelia man
Is starting to reform,
Prepare to live now in this trip 
To prove you can perform.
Enjoy the Phsychedelia!!

KNOW YOUR PSYCHEDELIA (Lyrics on Description)

Give me something infinite
Infinite is the universe as people say don't know
Infinite is our souls they say but where they go don't blow
Its not so complicated and think of it just twice
Once for your reality and once for your true eyes.
The history has proven it so there 's a being to live it
The future has predicted it so there 's a soul to keep it
This bring you to dimensioning of our eternal life
Just breath it and remember yeah you re not just here to die
After all its everything that's given out in faith
reality is infinite in this path most people hate
The game of god has silenced the truth is now endorsed
You know now dimensionless to kneel when you're outsourced.

Anyone seeking authenticity, imagination & personality, in creativity should explore unsigned music; that's where my faith in the future of music lies!  UNSIGNED MUSIC isn't inferior to SIGNED by any stretch of the imagination! Look past the illusion, find out what you're missing!

IN TO THIS WORLD

I got all wavy in my studio and built this dark blues track - it became an exercise in melancholia..

EDIT: I cleaned up the mix a bit, but I cannot replace the current file until the next subscription cycle. The cleaner mix can be found here: https://www.reverbnation.com/totemspectre/song/33950391-slipping

lyrics:

While I stand looking over the water
In the dark
With a handful of thoughts slipping
Into the dark

Faces from the present
From the past
Times now felt much deeper than then
Way back when

Make it count
Every moment
If even just a handful of thoughts
Slipping into the dark
Make it count
Every moment

Smell the roses
Touch your hair
Kiss your skin
For a handful of thoughts
Slipping
Into the dark
Much deeper then

Slipping

An experiment in solemn ambience. All hardware.

Psychic Cosmology

Original song performed live by Matthew Alan Stoddard AKA Social Deception, all lyrics, music, and vocals by Matthew Alan Stoddard AKA Oldboy. This is meant to be a demo to gain interest in starting a live band with me, it doesn't have to be Social deception related but I am interested in playing live again possibly with a new band and shared creative control.
Lyrics:
The curse has been broken,
Dead spells have been spoken,
We stand on hallowed ground,
Many secrets to be found,
Spirits whisper of our cost,
Danger of what we lost,
Our enemies will confess,
There is hope in the darkness.

I see a castle, I see a tower,
A structure to overpower,
In the distance beyond sight,
Lies a darkness beyond light,

The nights vulgar shadowplay,
The sweet smell of decay,
In touch with the darkside,
The moon is our only guide,
Perfect mothers choose to lie,
Strongest heroes have to die,

Rotten fruit of family tree,
Must separate to be free,
All beauty must decay,
All locks turn to gray,
Shining metal turns to rust,
As we return to dust,

 I’m living on a dare,
Awake and so aware,
Considerate and sincere,
As the demons are drawing near,
Not afraid of dying don’t you hear,
We are the light consuming fear.

My Man's Sensual Side

Your Moves

I'm on the lookout for musicians who understand the best way to get MORE support is to give it!

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!

GO AHEAD MAKE MY DAY (MAKE THE BED)

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

Highly unlikely more than one of my tunes will ever be heard by more than a handful of listeners, so just for the record here is an incomplete list of artists my music has been compared to by other musicians, depending on which tunes they heard, StevenVellou (Gothic Funk)

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!
