This work is precious for its crickets sound that was fully created within the four-oscillator synthesizer. Someday it will be the only way for crickets to be heard.

When you're bound and you're trapped
And there still seems a small way out
Houdini moves
Dance floor grooves
I'm the master at the limbo

CHORUS1
I climbed a little bit higher
But I got nowhere at all
And I'm a compulsive liar
When there is so far to fall
Cuz I'm trapped

When you're blinded and gagged
And there is seemingly no chance of a voice
I've no choice
I'm the dumb one and the jester

CHORUS1

CHORUS2
I'm the king of the super highway
I'm the gremlin of crumbling years
I have seen what is coming my way
And it is worse than my very worst fears
Cuz I'm trapped

When you are bound and you're trapped
And there still seems a small way out
Don't give in
I'm just saying I have proved a good can come of it

CHORUS1
CHORUS2

The Gremlin Of Crumbling Years

Start me up (cover)

I should keep my mind on a leash,
But it left with reason and logic,
Thinking is dangerous,
They ask if it hurts,
They say your mad I'm not,
There's nothing wrong,
It's ok to say something is wrong,
There's nothing wrong with you,
Just an imbalance of chemicals.

All this time, dripping through.

Unspent time sold off to silly dreams,
Mistakes, misunderstandings, realisations,
A forgetful idea that those ideas never existed,
traversing between what it is, and what it never was,
What it could of been, and what it shouldn't have been,
I'm searching and losing and not caring,
Cause I could re-write the whole thing,
And you wouldn't have believed any of it.

Sinking into pattern,
Restless fury at the system,
Nothing can be changed,
Everything can be learned,
Unbolt this piece of me,
Drill open the skull,
Trying to fit the spex,
To the generalisation.

Wishing as hope isn't going to succeed,
Work, persistence, dedication, practise,
Hope and wishing won't cut the mix,
Don't tell us a slogan or a social post,
What we began and where it's going,
Those left behind are scared,
I tried to make a difference,
I tried to make it matter.

I lost, I lost my mind in my room alone,
I looked under my bed, along my bookshelf, and through my CD's, No fault but my own,
I never understood most of that still makes me,
Just shed of ideas I was using,
But my mind wouldn't have any of it,
Face this truth, realise I'm so screwed up,
You think I'm running,
It never made sense, and this doesn't make sense either,
But I am who I am?

Am I who I am?
I'm the only one I trusted,
You had doubt in my mind,
I was the first to come to my minds defence,
Cause if you don't you might as well call me crazy,
Your still trying to deny,
You know you're on med's for life? 
And for good reason,
Wasn't there a gram of sanity in it anywhere?

Sinking into pattern,
Restless fury with the system,
Nothing can be changed,
Everything can be learned,
Unbolt this piece of me,
Drill open the skull,
Trying to fit the spex,
To the generalisation.

I should keep my mind on a leash,
But it left with reason and logic.

Thinking is dangerous,
They ask if it hurts,
They say your mad I'm not,
Nothing's wrong,
It's ok to say something is wrong,
There's nothing wrong with you,
Just an imbalance of chemicals,
Just an imbalance of chemicals,
Just an imbalance of chemicals,
Just an imbalance of chemicals.

Strange Delights

Light Of Your Eyes

Prelisten - Light Of Your Eyes

Alice’s song - Nowhere left to run…

With a sense of incredulity, she’s laying down to die,
with a startled look of disbelief – this really can’t be me,
There’s a cup of tea still sitting on the table by the bed,
there’s a piece of apple crumble in the fridge,
There’s’ a cat out in the garden sleeping underneath the clothesline
and you’re telling me it’s time that I was gone…

Been too long a-drowning , in endless cups of tea
Been too long a-fighting with your friends
It’s seemed so long but now you don’t know where the hell you’ve been
and there’s nowhere left to run to now

With a sense of incredulity she’s laying down to die,
She’s fighting the finality, the closing of the eyes,
there’s a letter on the fridge, that she really ought to send
and she hasn’t spoken yet to Mary Jane,
There’s an awful pile of clutter underneath the spare room bed
and you’re telling me, it’s time I was gone

The Fear Of Unacceptance

This is about being afraid to be yourself for the want to fit in.  It is in 5/4 time.


Lyrics;
I'm unprepared for change
But I can't stem the tide
There's a crack in my foundation
Waiting for the pain

My thoughts begin to slide
Can't avoid the situation
Tumble through the quake
I am feeling so unstable

With a future so uncertain
The old me takes a bow
At the finish of a fable
But not before they drop the curtain

And I can hear the audience
Stirring in their chairs
Hoping for applause
Feeling nothing but despair

And out the door I go
Nothing out here seems the same
A brand new world is there to greet me
But I've nothing new to show

Can I even play this game
I cannot fit if I just be me
And I can hear the audience
Stirring in their chairs

Hoping for applause
Feeling nothing but despair

The Fear Of Unacceptance

I actually had the opportunity to visit the tomb of Lazarus when I was 10 years old. I was spellbound. The tour exited the tomb and left me down there by myself. Then the guide shut the lights out...left me alone in the dark...and loudly commanded "LAZARUS...COME FORTH ! "... Oh, Come get me, Lord.

Brand new album, 'Mythologies' out now! CD available here: https://www.hoanzl.at/mythologies.html

'Baudelairean flights through dimly lit urban landscapes 'round midnight... Ballads alluding to Ovid, Homer and Solomon... Lovers wrapt in the sultry bliss of a sunny summer morn... Wine, witchcraft, temptation… The quest for voices to trust amidst a world corrupt… These themes and motifs all weave into Herald K's oeuvre… Come in and eavesdrop...'

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

>
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!
