Overflowing with energy and excitement. The percussion/rhythm elements are invigorating.

Awesome upbeat track Joé......perfect representation of the title :)

such a hustlin'/bustlin' tempo-nice one Joé

*UPDATE.  After a 5day hiatus, tried to say thanks to all those who have been leaving comments for 'River To River' this morning (Sunday 11 Dec.) but was blocked again after only 2 hours, during which time I was able to send 43 replies.
I will resume as soon as I get the chance.  Apologies to all I haven't had the chance to thank as yet.  It's clear I won't be able to continue like this so have decided to stop active interaction with SC after the end of the year.  Will try to keep everyone posted on developments. (Gary)

Original Message, left on Monday, 5 December...

For the fourth time in the last few weeks, I have been blocked from making or replying to comments and also cannot sign-in to my repost page. My sincere apologies to you all for the radio silence but it is not of my choosing.
I have written to the SoundCloud Helpdesk to ask why this is happening and to say they have not exactly been helpful is something of an understatement. This is part of their reply:
"If the issue persists, it’s possible that you might have been flagged by our anti-spam systems. These systems are automated, and although we’re always refining and improving their detection measures, it is difficult to ensure that they’re always 100% accurate.
They focus on detecting accounts posting large numbers of similar or identical comments in a 24 hour period, to people who haven't recently interacted with them. Looking at your comments, even though they are positive, they don't always vary so much. This is why you've run in to this block a few times.
To avoid being blocked, we would suggest making each comment unique to the person you're contacting, or trying to cut down on the total number of comments you make in a day. The more personal and unique the comment you make, the more memorable it will be to the person receiving it. "
I replied, disagreeing strongly about leaving similar replies, particularly to accounts I have not previously interacted with. I also asked many questions to precisely ascertain any prescribed limits SC have on leaving likes & comments and on reposts. They didn't answer my questions, stating merely "I understand your frustration however, as mentioned, these are automatic anti-spam systems and when a user gets blocked, we cannot removed (sic) the block from their account before it's due to expire."

I have written individual messages to friends here on SC and the same has happened to many of them. They too have written to the Helpdesk without success.You are never let into the secret about how long the block will last, neither it's specific reason for being applied in the first place. Piecing together what I have been told by others, you can be flagged for leaving too many likes, too many comments (and comments that are too long) and reposting too many songs. But you have no way of knowing exactly which because they will not tell you, relying solely on the explanation that as the system is automatic, there is nothing they can do.

The way I have operated my account hasn't differed very much over the 9+ years I have been on the platform and am puzzled as to why the problem has only arisen over the past few weeks. Right now, I am not too sure what I can and cannot do. What I do know is that I am heartily fed up with being treated with contempt which is why I have been forced into the decision of stopping active interaction with SC from the end of 2022.

I heartily wish things were different but as I said, it's clear that it is impossible to carry on like this...

Lyrics:

I’ll follow you
Wherever you may go
Follow you
Through the desert
Or the storm
Follow you
I’ll take this road
Follow you
No matter
Where you go

Finally found you
Won’t turn away,
because you
are my saving grace
Forever,
I will stay

I’ll follow you
Through the dark of night
Follow you
Until we reach the light

Don’t turn away
Or be afraid
In all honesty,
We are saved

I’ll follow you
You’ll never steer me wrong
follow you
To the other side and home
Follow you
I’ll take this road

No matter
Where it goes
eyes upon
the world to come
The truth is all else
will pass away
Don’t turn away
Don’t be afraid
We are saved

We all wander
Jesus showed the way
Call on His name
Every tear is wiped away

I Will Follow You (David k. A. Spencer & Cosmic Keanu)

Before moving out, while packing my studio, my dedicated music computer died... After an open heart surgery, it came back to life. This track was made before moving out. New music has yet to be recorded in my new place. Soon...
I am very happy that my computer works again. i was scared for a while i had lost my studio machine.

Open Heart Surgery

Coldness of winter described with sound, à la Joé! We have been getting a very cold and snowy winter here and it inspired me some new music. This track has been recorded with a blazing fire in the wood stove, away from the cold, with my cat watching me play bass...
Best enjoyed with headphones, or better yet, a big sound system!

More new music will come soon as i've been recording and writing all winter and spring. Wishing everyone a great summer, much love!

Rocket Fire

Here is an instrumental piece that has been sitting on the shelf for over a year.
 I recorded this after a fight with a friend, feeling very sad... After recording my last guitar part, i was crying and slammed my guitar strings... and left that sound in the track, as a 'damn it'...




I met that person online, talked for a very long time, yet when time came to either meet or talk in real, that friend made everything possible for that not to happen, like if i was to discover something i should not know...





Never talked to that friend again, and even if i moved on, i still miss that friend very much....Weird....That is part of life i guess, some people come and go, some stay for life no matter the hurdles.
Be kind to your precious friends, life is all about the people and the moments.
All recorded 'live' in my studio, all mistakes left intact.

Lonely Little Potato

A track to have fun, i just needed my electronic fix... Of course i had to add bass and guitar... To keep it somewhat 'organic'... 
Sending love to all!
