Shade Structure Selection

Last days of July. These are the hottest brand new Indie tracks!

CREATING TUNES THAT MEAN SOMETHING....IT'S ABOUT BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES!

Seems #Soundcloud are now under new management, and will be staying in business, but for how long is dependent on how much activity we, the musicians, create and sustain!

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!

Just clicking the like button doesn't prove you listen! I only return listens and feedback to those who give it. If you only subscribe to my page, or only click the like button, you won't hear from me.

Just adding numbers, or just clicking like buttons, makes us all wary, and that's what kills these music sites off; why should anyone keep giving support if they never get any back!

If all you do is post your tunes, sit back and wait for a miracle, guess what, it'll never happen! Only a small number of Soundcloud musicians are proactive, which is why Soundcloud is struggling to survive!

Without these music sites, your chances are screwed, so you need them, I need them, and we need each other! EXCHANGE SUPPORT!

UNSIGNED ARTISTS ON SOUNDCLOUD 18

Just a collection of tracks from around SoundCloud which I found inspiring or interesting this month.

This will become a regular recurring monthly feature.

WR's The List 5.17

WR's The List 6.13

I got to thinking, what would a country song sound like if outlaw musician Warren Zevon was still around to write them? (*)
Maybe something like this?  Everything you want in a country song: broken hearts, solitary country roads , banjo, and unique lyrical point of view.
Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
They call me "Rusty"
But that's not really my name
It's a nickname a bartender gave me
He says: "Hey man, I think your mind is corroded."

Now I don't drink no more
I like to smoke
I don't need those California lagers
And the pinot noirs
She says that doesn't matter
"I'm throwing you out of this Florida bar,"

I get in my car, and I close the door
I'm driving all night on these lonesome roads
Anonymous and stoned

She said her name was "Honey"
You know I think that's funny
Because she never showed me any kind of real sweetness

I"d work for a million days
For a couple of Saturday nights
And some Sunday haze
I'm driving with the radio on
Waiting for the 'phrase that pays!'

I get in my car, and I close the door
I've been driving all night on these lonesome roads
Anonymous and stoned

I've been dragging my fat ass around
Like some kind of phantom limb I found
Don't pay attention to the foreground
All the real action is happening in the background

(sing along section)(2X)
I'm driving all night alone
On these old lonesome roads
Anonymous
Anonymous and stoned

I've been driving all night on these lonesome roads...

(*) After I wrote this, I had forgotten he recorded "Play it all night Long" , a pretty damn interesting song!

Lonesome Roads

Rough and ready lo-fi troubadour blues. More off-key and forlorn than usual.

Lyrics:
Oh, that bartender
He moved to his own
Sweet slow ass time
In getting back those drinks 
To feed my mainline
You asked me about my guitar
I've been far
But tonight
I am playing this bar

I could be gone soon
Maybe I could explain it to you
a little later
In my motel room?
There's a Gideon Bible
Right there in the drawer 
It's revelation about our sin
They're always gonna try to change ya
I think you're forgiven
You're  just
Welcoming a stranger

I've been far
But tonight, I am
I am playing this bar

All this joyful noise
I sing it for you
All the loneliness
And the  cacophony, too
It's my troubadour blues

My melancholy
The useless beauty
I feel like I'm  living life in another man's shoes
You asked me about my guitar
I've been far
But tonight, I am
I am playing this bar...

All This Useless Beauty (Troubadour Blues)

Just a simple song for the lonely. Old fashioned human music for this modern age.

Lyrics:
I'm bringing you my honest confessional
I'm dying out here, don't you know?
I've been walking the internet at night
I don't know why I always fall for the tawdry
I always fall for the pills
I fall for your sweetest thrills
I'm dribbling down here at the end of the bar
Falling in
(falling in and out)
Falling in and out of love
I'm in the valley of the lonely
Don't look into the corona eye
You know that I always lie

I could be anything you need
I could be that book that you've been working on...
A paperback. Dog eared and worn...
A book you put up on the shelf...
A book you read that changes your sense of self...
I'm in the valley of the lonely
Don't look into the coronas' eye
The valley of the lonely...

The Valley Of The Lonely

A rough and ready summertime rock & roll song.
A salvage title is a car deemed a total loss by an insurance company.

Lyrics:
I surround myself with my friends 
That I know and love
Kick those bad times
Down the stairs
A little shove
Even when we're hurt
Drinking a toast
To the last rotation of the earth
You should know by now

We're living life with a salvage title
I'm out of sync
With my circadian cycle
Your molecular structure
Looking vital  🤪 
Salvage title

Take the time
And disregard all the rest
I'm at the Ramada Inn
Under house arrest
They say life is just a little test
I took off my shirt
To get this off my chest
You should know by now
This kind of spirit never goes away
It just becomes something else

We're living life with a salvage title
Getting sunshine
In tiny vials
Kicking down the portals of time
For an on time arrival
Salvage title 
Hot dog (yeah ) !!!!

Salvage title
And if you're coming over tonight
I'm going to be up late
Dancing with myself
Like Billy Idol

Salvage Title

Lyrics:
He comes from a land of sweat pants
And neck tat's
And Pit Bull's
And gunshot wounds
The rich man in the car
Well, he'll go far
He's got a certain pedigree
Oh, leave me be, to deal with my family tree
You could take yourself out for a ride
See the world, go out to the edge of the divide
Take it in (yeah, take it in)
You never know when life's going to end
I'm standing here, and I'm talking real loud
Saying nothing at all
I'm standing proud
On top of all my bullshit
She comes out. She's never going to leave
"it makes it hard to miss you when you never go away,"
The day that she died
We're dealing with nature's code
And we're all subject to the forces of nature
Subject to the forces of nature...

Subject To The Forces Of Nature (2015)

DAVID BOWIE (CINEMATIC GOTH)

Alternative psychedelic hip hop with a punk attitude!

The Wizard's Radio - Worst Enemy

from the album "Life or Death"
Written in the perspective of someone behind bars pondering about his life, now drenched by guilt.

Guilt

From: Time To Move On
Let's have a little WR ballad, shall we? It's about two people who fell for each other at the wrong time and situation. It's just another dark subject we want to write a story about. If it's not for you, then you can always move on to our hard rockin' tunes : D

I Will Wait For You

FREUDIAN LIPS

inst. intro

CALLED UPON THE MEN IN WHITE JUST THE OTHER DAY BUT FEAR OF EARS 'A' LISTENING
PREVENTED ME FROM HAVING MY SAY
SO I TALKED WITH MY EYES
TO THE DOCTOR IN DISGUISE

FROM THE SCREAMING TO THE DREAMING WE TOUCHED ON EVERYTHING
WE TALKED ABOUT HOW LIFE BEGAN
THE WEATHER AND THE DAWN OF MAN AND EVEN WHEN HIS REIGN WOULD END WE TALKED ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD
AND HOW MY PARENTS NEVER UNDERSTOOD

BUT ALL HIS SMOOTH AND REHEARSED LINE OF PATTER ONLY SERVES TO MAKE HIS WALLET EVER FATTER
IT DOESN'T STOP THE CHIT-CHAT CHATTER CHATTER LIKE WATER TORTURE IN MY HEAD

inst. break

BUT ALL HIS SMOOTH AND REHEARSED LINE OF PATTER ONLY SERVES TO MAKE HIS WALLET EVER FATTER
IT DOESN'T STOP THE CHIT-CHAT CHATTER CHATTER LIKE WATER TORTURE IN MY HEAD

ALL THE GRIEVING WITHOUT MEANING
AND THE HEARTACHE EACH DAY BRINGS
MAKE THEMSELVES....FELT THROUGH THE VOICES FOREVERMORE REVERBERATING WITHOUT END, A SINGLE VOICE BECOMES A FLOOD (ARE YOU INSANE? THIS IS THE GAME OF EVIL V GOOD)

BUT ALL HIS SMOOTH AND REHEARSED LINE OF PATTER ONLY SERVES TO MAKE HIS WALLET EVER FATTER
IT DOESN'T STOP THE CHIT-CHAT CHATTER CHATTER LIKE WATER TORTURE IN MY HEAD

Inst. break

MY TRAIN OF THOUGHTS
HIS TRAIN OF WORDS
COLLIDE INSIDE....MY ONE-TRACK-MIND MY WORLD COLLAPSES AROUND MY EARS MY MIND RETREATS TO THE EARLY YEARS
FREUDIAN LIPS (REPEATED)
TO THE EARLY YEARS (REPEATED)

Inst. outro

ORSON’S PLAY

FREEDOM COMES AND….FREEDOM GOES
WHEN ITS TEN BELOW, MY HOLOCAUST LURKS IN THE SHADOWS
THOUGH GONE TODAY, IT MAY BE HERE TOMORROW
THAT’S THE TIME TO GO, FOR THERE IS NO TIME LIKE TOMORROW
No time like tomorrow

MY WEIRD DESIRE, TO BULID AN IGLOO
REJOIN THE CHOIR, THEN TRUN THE AIR BLUE
BUT I REQUIRE ONE FAVOUR FROM YOU
CUT ALL THE STRINGS, AND WALK IN YOUR OWN SHOES
All the strings and walk in your own shoes

THIS CENTURY HAS SEEN ITS SHARE OF SORROW
OUR VICTORIES ARE HOLLOW
AND NOTHING CAN PREPARE US
FOR THE EVENTS THAT ALWAYS FOLLOW

IF I LOOK BEHIND
TRY TO TRCK MY MIND
WOULD I FIND, FIND, FIND
WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN ON THIS STEEP DECLINE
WOULD I FIND, FIND, FIND
WE NEVER CRAWLED OUT OF THE SLIME

IF EVERYTHING CAME TRUE, IT’S TRUE TO SAY
THE WOLRD WOULD END ON TUESDAY
WE COULD PRETEND THAT THIS IS ORSON’S PLAY
WISHING ALL OF THIS WOULD QUIETLY GO AWAY
Wishing all of this would quietly go away

I NEVER ENJOY VIOLENCE
BUT I DO ENJOY THE SILENCE
WHEN I CAN HEAR THE PIN THAT DROPS
WHEN IT’S ALMOST AS IF TIME HAS STOPPED

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

Don’t be fooled by musicians who click your tune’s like button, or even share your tune; chances are they never listened—only relevant feedback proves they did!

Tonight (As The Dark Skies Arise), feat. Ethersis on Growls and Lead

The Soundtrack to my imaginary 1970's TV show "Undercover Man" ( a master of disguises). I have too much time on my hands.

Undercover Man !
Look under your covers Girl, that's where I am
I'm your undercover man
When the shipment comes in at the dock, after midnight
if there's  a scam, that's where I am
I'm your undercover man
When I'm undercover
You never know who I'm gonna be...

(Cue visuals of undercover man in various disguises)
I might be a priest,  a cowboy
I might be a Hot Dog Vendor, living out his American dream
I might be a painter or an artist (you just don't know)
I might be a  DJ on WHTZ, playing all the hits all the time
I'm your undercover man, Your undercover man
All the evil that men do
All the bad that happens in the night
Well, that's my domain 
I'm your undercover man

Musical break (insert visuals of fistfights, car chases driving thru empty boxes, girls in bikinis, getting out of pools in slow motion, Split screen, etc)

Just in case of inquiries, I don't need no sidekick
And ladies, there's no Mrs. Undercover man
Because each week I have a brand new sexy co-star
Sometimes played by Jane Seymour or Cheryl Tiegs (uh-huh!)
All the evil that men do
Whether it's murder, kidnapping, jaywalking
I've seen it all, I know it all, I've been their too
Look under the covers
Because that's where I am
Undercover man!
There's always going be some dastardly villain in every person's life
It could be your insurance agent
It could be your wife
it could be a rich widow with daddy issues
I'm going to find them all
Because I'm your undercover man
Your undercover man!

Get Well Soon, So I Can Keep On Hating You

Undercover Man!

Orpheus_I will come to you,

Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.

Orpheus_On the other side,

Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.
Orpheus_And reverse the tide,
Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.
Orpheus_To bring you back with me,
Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.
Orpheus_Bring you back with me.
Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.

Orpheus_Your eyes draw me like beacons through the dark

Eurydice_Darkness draws like a veil over my eyes 

Orpheus_Ever deeper ever darker 

Eurydice_Ev-er…..  Ev-er…

Orpheus_Ever deeper, ever darker 

Eurydice_Ev-er…..  Ev-er…

Orpheus_Ever bleaker, ever darker 

Eurydice_Ever bleaker  Ever darker

Eurydice_Reunited with you dear,
		Hold me near.
		We will never escape here,
		Such is my fear.

Orpheus_We can make it together,
		Trust in me.
Both_Then we will be together, Forever more. 

Eurydice_I’ll follow behind, 
Orpheus_Oh, oh, oh.
Eurydice_You look straight ahead, 
Orpheus_Oh, oh, oh.
Eurydice_Now we’re almost there,
Orpheus_Oh, oh, oh.
Eurydice_No, don’t look at me.
Orpheus_No, no, no.
Eurydice_No, don’t look at me.
Orpheus_No, no, no.

Orchestral passage representing Orpheus's grief 

Orpheus_I’m adrift on the ocean,
	Without you.
	There’s no telling what I’d do,
	Without you.

Thank you, SoundCloud, for the 4 - year - journey !!!
Lyrics:
I see us standing there
Then taking off into the air
Looking down on clouds
Towards the life we dreamed about
And ´though it took years to prepare
In the end we´re gonna get there

We kiss this place goodbye
As we watch the orange sky
And sunlight warming us
Affirming life is generous
And ´though it took all the years to dare
In the end we´re gonna get there

Some years ago we knew one day we would be here
Being fine with it, feeling so secure
No more wandering around, making every day count
And ´though it cost us all we got
Not knowing if we make the cut
We did not give up
No turning back, arriving finally
Where we´re supposed to be

Taking off
Taking off

I see us standing there
Then taking off into the air
Looking down on clouds
Towards the life we dreamed about
And although it took years to prepare
In the end we´re gonna get there

Get There

You think they’re coming but they ain’t 
You think they’re waiting at the gate
You think they’re driven by hate
Nobody’s being straight with ya
Everybody’s out to deceive
And nobody believes 
A single word you say
They all think you’re insane
So you’re losing your grip
You’re starting to slip
You’re getting swallowed in the abyss
Of your subconsciousness
So you’re losing your mind
You’re running out of time
But you’re oblivious to how it feels
‘Coz to you it’s all real

So you’re armed with a one way ticket and your last cigarette 
Focused on nothing, but getting away from the fear
Anywhere but here

You don’t know which way to turn
Strangers show you concern
Causing more uncertainty 
As there sympathy burns
They know you’re losing your grip
They know you’re starting to slip
Falling deeper in the abyss
Of your subconsciousness
Further out of your mind
Further out of time
You’re still oblivious to the way it feels
‘Coz to you it’s all real

And still armed with that one way ticket and your last cigarette 
You’re running in circles trying to get away from the fear
Anywhere but here
Clutching on to that one way ticket and your last cigarette 
Running in circles trying to get away from the fear 
Anywhere but here

Anywhere But Here
