THE GOTHIEST SIDE OF GOTHIC FUNK

I weep for the victims, I don't waste my tears on mass murderers, serial killers, serial rapists. It sickens me when some are released back into society because of those misguided bleeding hearts who feel it is their purpose in life to save these people, only to hear, within a month of release, they killed a child.
If the Weepy Voiced Killer is as insane as he sounds, well that insanity must be taken into account, though he must never be allowed back into society; as for the rest, they must never be released. 
I will avoid discussing the Death Penalty here because it's such a divisive issue, but I do think the primary function of the justice system should be to protect law abiding citizens from the monsters that walk among us!

THE WEEPY VOICED KILLER (I'M SORRY I KILLED THAT GIRL)

HEY MR SERIAL KILLER
YOU SHOULDN’T BE ALONE TONIGHT
WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT ME
PICTURE ME IN BLACK AND WHITE

SHE WANTS TO BE YOUR NIGHTMARE
TEACH YOU ALL ABOUT DELIGHT
SO RUN YOUR NOSFERATU FINGERS
THROUGH HER BLOODSTAINED HAIR
BEFORE ANOTHER ONE DIES OF FRIGHT

AS UNDER HER BREATH
SHE WHISPERS “ANGEL OF DEATH”
YOU TIGHTEN YOUR GRIP
‘TIL THERE’S NOTHING LEFT

SERIAL KILLER
SERIAL DREAMS
SERIAL LOVERS
SERIAL SCREAMS

SURREAL MOMENT
IN THE REAL WORLD
THE STORIES ARE COUNTLESS
BUT NEVER TOLD

DON’T FUCK WITH MY HEAD
THE SOCIOPATH SAID
AND DON’T YOU SCREW
WITH MY FINELY TUNED PSYCHE

AS UNDER HER BREATH
SHE WHISPERS “ANGEL OF DEATH”
YOU TIGHTEN YOUR GRIP
‘TIL THERE’S NOTHING LEFT

SERIAL KILLER
SERIAL DREAMS
SERIAL LOVERS
SERIAL SCREAMS

SURREAL MOMENT
IN THE REAL WORLD
THE STORIES ARE COUNTLESS
BUT NEVER TOLD

WANNA PLACE PENNIES ON YOUR EYES
AND CATCH YOUR TEARS WHENEVER YOU CRY
FOR AS LONG AS YOU’RE HERE I WILL BE YOUR FRIEND
I WILL HOLD YOUR HAND TO THE VERY END

IT’S LIKE A VOICE IN THE DISTANCE
I WANNA BE YOUR VICTIM
I YEARN TO BE YOUR SWEET SIXTEENTH

IT’S LIKE A VOICE IN THE DISTANCE
I WANNA BE YOUR VICTIM
TO SATISFY YOUR EVERY WHIM

WHILE COMMITTING ACTS OF WANTON SIN
HE THINKS OF WHAT TO DO WITH HER SKIN
DISPOSING OF THE BODY IN A LIFELESS LAND
SOMEWHERE WHERE THE SUNLIGHT IS THIN

SO RUN YOUR NOSFERATU FINGERS THROUGH HER BLOODSTAINED HAIR

BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE CHASE
YOU HAD TO SHOW YOUR FACE
GRIPPING, BURNING, FRYING, DYING
IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR

AND NOW YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE
PASSING FROM THIS LIFE, VICTIMS FLASHING BY
HEADING FOR A PLACE WHERE YOU CANNOT HIDE
PROVIDENCE DEVINE, NO ESCAPE, THOUGH YOU’LL TRY

AND YOU’LL TRY…

REVOLVING DOOR
GROUNDHOG DAY
ETERNAL CIRCLE
DOWNWARD SPIRAL

BACK FOR MORE
TIME TO PAY
PREQUEL GREY
BUT A DIFFERENT SEQUEL

HOW DOES IT FEEL
TO BE THE QUARRY, THE MEAL
IN YOUR VICTIMS HANDS
DO YOU YET UNDERSTAND?

THE SCREAMS YOU’RE HEARING
ARE YOUR SOUL DISAPPEARING
THIS IS FEAR, YOU ARE SAYING
SUDDENLY YOU ARE PRAYING

WE WANT TO BE YOUR NIGHTMARE
TEACH YOU ALL ABOUT F-RIGHT
TAKE YOU TO A PLACE CALLED NOWHERE
DROWN YOU IN ETERNAL NIGHT

WE WANT TO HER YOUR ETERNAL SCREAMS
FEAST UPON YOUR DESPERATE PLIGHT
CORRUPTING EVEN YOUR PEACEFUL DREAMS
TAUNTING YOU WITH THOUGHTS OF FLIGHT

WANT YOU TO FEEL WHAT WE FELT
MULTIPLIED TO INFINITY
TO SEE YOUR PERSONA IN AGONY MELT
LEAVING YOU WITH ONE BRIEF MEMORY

THAT FINAL MOMENT WHEN THEY PULL THE SWITCH
CHOKING ON PAIN; A WALL OF FEAR CLOSED IN
SMOTHERED CRY FOR HELP, SOMETHING TOUCHING YOUR SKIN
TSUNAMI-LIKE EMOTIONS AND THE FACES WITHIN

WE WHISPER UNDER OUR BREATH
WE ARE THE ANGELS OF DEATH
WE TIGHTEN OUR GRIP
TILL THERE’S NOTHING…LEFT

HEY, MR SERIAL KILLER

CRACKHEAD AT THE GO GO

THE BELLE OF BELLSIZE PARK - STEVEN & TASHA

Something I do for fun, as a sideline to my own music, is use old moreish instrumentals, write lyrics for them, and add my vocals, basically to prove I can even interpret moreish music, so anyone out there who does anything like this, put me to the test. 
You may think how crazy, but I would love to throw in tunes like this during a stage show that bounces around from one genre to the next, the kind of totally unpredictable set that attracts the most eclectic and eccentric audience on the planet,; the only kind of live performance I could really enjoy doing!

TWO KINDS OF LOVE

Everyone's a grifter, or at least it seems that way, and you can't imagine how much that pisses me off! Doesn't matter which side an issue they fall, which side of the political aisle they are on, everyone is an opportunist, thinking, how can I make money from this, so out come the cheesy printed t-shirts, the Patreon accounts, and where does that cash go, promoting the issue at hand? No, it goes towards enjoying a lavish lifestyle, a nice home, flash cars, several holidays a year; hard to find anyone who solely about bettering this world of ours!

EVERYONE'S A GRIFTER

12 FLAWED ANDROIDS

Avoidant Personality Disorder: I meet all seven criteria, have done since childhood, spent my whole life trying to hide it. 

Affected every aspect of my life. Had many relationships with women in the past, all deteriorating because of the disorder, with me getting out when the symptoms of the disorder became more noticeable, and it is definitely what has prevented me from seizing the few musician opportunities that came my way, unable to function around others means unable to function around band members too, unable to go out there and gig, having ideas but incapable of seeing them through.

Ironically, that same disorder likely plays a significant role in my creativity!

I've rarely written lyrics about myself, but I think it's time I created a dozen tunes that do just that, not so much to draw attention to myself, but to contribute to addressing a misunderstood and understated disorder, because, take my word for it, it's one of THE MOST crippling personality disorders imaginable; it is has a global impact on every aspect, every moment, of your existence!

GET UP OFF YOUR KNEES (BREAK OF DAWN WE'LL OWN THE STREETS)

MY MIND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN

MY MIND HAS GOT THE BEST OF ME
PROTESTING THAT I’M CONTRARY
BUT WHO AM I TO DISAGREE
SO MUCH BETTER TO BE CIRCUMSPECT
THAN OVERSTEP SOME SACRED BOUNDARY

MY HEAD CONTAINS AN OCEAN
ONE THATS CONSTANTLY IN MOTION
AND AMIDST ALL THIS COMMOTION
I NEVER GET TO BE THE MAN I WANT TO BE

NOW BATS ARE IN THE BELFRY
LOCKED AWAY IN MY MEMORY
WITH ONLY ROCKS FOR COMPANY
CONCEALED UNDER A LOCK OF SHIFTING HAIR


ACCESSED WITH THE TWIST OF A SKELETON KEY

MY MIND, MY MIND

MY MIND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN
SO I’M….NEVER ALONE

NEVER HAVE TO THINK FOR MYSELF
OR LOOK AFTER MY HEALTH
CAN JUST GO WITH THE FLOW
SIMPLY SAY, I DONT KNOW
SPEND THE DAY STARING OUT OF THE WINDOW

I’M OUT OF MY MIND

EARNED LONG AGO TO KEEP MY PLACE
TO NEVER SHOW MY REAL FACE
TO DO SO WOULD DISTURB THE FLOW
TO DO SO WOULD OPEN THE WINDOW

MY MIND, MY MIND

I ONLY HAVE ONE MEMORY
THE DAY I CHOSE TO DISAGREE
I BEGGED TO DIFFER, FOOLISHLY
AND PAID THE PRICE EMPHATICALLY

MY MIND, MY MIND

MY SILVER LINED MIXED UP MIND
CAN SOMETIMES LAG BEHIND
WITHOUT WARNING, EVERY MORNING
HE KEEPS PULLING DOWN THE BLINDS


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 :)

MY MIND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN

KILL THE MUSIC (Not The Musicians)

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

THEY THINK THEY'RE BETTER THAN US

The tunes on this page can’t match the studio production of the likes of DAFT PUNk because they were not done in a studio, but, creatively, they stand up to anything that band did! By the time you’ve listened to all these tunes you might well agree!

Listen, leave feedback, and I PROMISE to do the same for you!

BRIAN EPSTEIN's THEORY OF SEXUALITY

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!

SAM WELLER WITHOUT SALT

WELCOME TO MY MISERY
WIPE YOUR FEET AND COME INSIDE
TIS A TOMB OF TRAGEDY
WHERE THE DARKNESS CANNOT HIDE

WALK INTO EACH ROOM OF GLOOM
THERE ARE SEVEN LIKE THE TUNE
UNLIKE THE WORDS OF TAMLA TOPS
MY SEVEN NUMBERS WERE UP TOO SOON

IF YOU ASK THE REASON WHY
I WILL TAKE REFUGE IN A LIE
IF YOU ASK ME FOR THE WHEN
I WILL KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

'TIS A YARN OF WORDY LENGTH
THAT HARDLY GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
A WEAK AND WEARY CHAPTER ONE
GATHERS MOSS WITH EVERY LEAF
BUILDS AND BUILDS TOWARD BELIEF
AND FIZZLES OUT TOWARD THE END

AND SO WITHOUT TO MUCH ADO
I WILL INTRODUCE TO YOU
ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS AND THE LOW-LIGHTS
OF A FAST-LANE LIFE IN CREWE

I WILL TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY
SO DEVOID OF MYSTERY
YOU WILL WISH ONE TINY MERCY
ESCAPE AND LIBERTY

IN MY LIFE EACH DAY'S A JOKE
I’M THE BUTT AT WHICH THEY POKE
I’M THE SOURCE OF MUCH AMUSEMENT
DUBBED THE SCHIZOPHRENIC BLOKE

NEVER WITH ME
LAUGHING AT ME
THEY TAKE THE MICK AND MOCK
IT’S IRONIC
I’M A COMIC
A SAM WELLER WITHOUT SALT

(INST. BREAK)
WHERE WAS I NOW?
LET ME SEE!
TOWARD THE END OF CHAPTER THREE
BEFORE THEY TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOOR
BEFORE THE CLOCK TURNED BACK ON ME

LONG BEFORE THE LAST ECLIPSE
BUT THREE WEEKS PAST THE NIGHT OF SHIPS
THE NIGHT OUR TWO PATHS ALMOST MET
THE ROPE, THE PILLS, I CAN’T FORGET

NO!
I CAN’T FORGET MY DICE WITH DEATH
I BRUSHED AGAINST THE DEVIL’S BREATH
FINGERS WRAPPED AROUND MY THROAT
I ALMOST SAILED ON CHARON’S BOAT

I WOULD NOT,
HAD NOT THE CORD
THAT CARRIED LIGHT
DIVORCED,
HAVE FAILED THE FINAL FITTING FOR
MY MEASURED WOODEN OVERCOAT

NOW THE PARTY HAD BEGUN
WHEN MY BOOK OF LIFE BUT DONE,
LIKE THE BLANKS FIRED FROM A GUN,
PACKED A SUCKER PUNCH FOR FUN

IN A MOMENT OF CONFUSION….A
PARAGRAPH FROM ITS CONCLUSION
THE SPARKS BEGAN TO FLY
LIKE SOME PHANTOM PREGNANCY

ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING
FILTERS OUT THE FINAL SCENE
A SUPERFICIAL SMOKESCREEN
A FIRST OF APRIL PIPEDREAM

THE PLOT WAS JUST A SICK JOKE
A PRELUDE CUEING IN THE HOAX
A PRELUDE TO THE SOFT SOAP
WORN UPON SOFT CENTRES LIKE A SUGARCOAT

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!

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!
