WE BENEFIT FROM POSTING ON SOUNDCLOUD THE MOST WHEN WE FOLLOW BACK, LISTEN AND LEAVE FEEDBACK

Who should we follow back? The Soundcloud users who don’t just follow us they actually listen and leave feedback, makes sense, right. So why does it make sense, because they are the ones actually supporting your music, they are the ones that raise your profile and feedback is FREE hype, it advertises your product, it tells new arrivals to your page that your music is worth listening to, that’s what I mean when I say we ALL benefit.
These platforms actually end up failing BECAUSE we don’t maximise their potential in this way, a follow serves no purpose if we don’t follow through, and if we don’t follow through others don’t follow through either, we all become wary of giving support because we know only a very small number will do the same for us.
So how does this affect these platform, activity slows down eventually grinding to a halt, once that happens platforms like Soundcloud could end up going out of business, eventually there will be no platforms left for us to FREELY post on, the day will arrive when the ONLY way to post our music is to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE, so you see being PROACTIVE not only benefits you and I it ensures the survival of platforms like Soundcloud; ok, so it doesn’t deliver in some of the ways we’d like it to, and including reaching an actual audience, but it’s a whole lot better than nothing at all!

I Miss Those Days  Instrumental

Ladies and Gentlemen, I had the wonderful honor of working with Rebecca and Jochen. Rebecca and Jochen wrote these wonderful lyrics for this song. And the dreamlike voice of Rebecca King makes this song a real experience. I would like to thank Rebecca King and Jochen again for this great collaboration. Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish you a Beautiful Day with this song. Thanks for listening

When I woke up this morning sunlight was kissing my neck.
Coffee tasted so good, everything fell right into place.

My heart was beating with the whole wide world
as I was singing with the trees, the wind, the birds…

Beautiful, Beautiful, Oh Beautiful Day
Beautiful, Beautiful, Oh Beautiful Day
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, Beautiful Day
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Day.

At noon I found to many butterflies to count,
this is where I walked on air, not on the ground.

Beautiful, Beautiful, Oh Beautiful Day
Beautiful, Beautiful, Oh Beautiful Day
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, Beautiful Day
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Day.

Life may not always be a walk in the park,
sometimes not slightly bright, more pretty dark.
But if you listen very carefully,
sometimes it plays your favourite melody.

When I saw the moonlight shimmering in your eyes,
it seemed to me this time timing was right.

My heart was beating with the whole wide world
as I was singing with the trees, the wind, the birds…

Beautiful, Beautiful, Oh Beautiful Day
Beautiful, Beautiful, Oh Beautiful Day
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, Beautiful Day
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Day.

Beautiful Day

Lyrics "Hidden Fears"

I keep walking down the street with nowhere to go
Nobody cares about us (not anymore)
I feel like a stranger and that’s all I know (aaah)
I run in circles I can’t escape

I need an answer
Those faces keep haunting me
I need an answer
Remember who I want to be

I don’t understand
This world burns in flames
Again, the ashes surrounding me
My tears don’t let me see the sky

Where did it all go?

Time goes by
while memories fade
I’m in a mouse wheel
And I can’t let it GO!
I can’t hide
My feelings deep inside
And I am becoming crazy
‘cause I need to let it go!

Missunderstood
No one will hear me
I am a prisoner
Of my own mistakes

I close my eyes
I Can’t turn back time
Trying to find somewhere I can go resurrected
Ruins and embers
I can’t remember

I need an answer
I want to let myself go
I need an answer
Remember why I’m still here

Somebody hurt me
Somebody hurt you
Again, you can feel overwhelmed
Go find yourself and run away

Where did it all go?

All that is hidden will one day explode

Beautiful pieces flying around the world

Deep Romance

Because of the current situation, I decided to rearrange a Ukrainian folk song. I am sorry to see all these pictures and the victims of this unnecessary war.  I think that especially in such difficult moments, music can provide a moment of peace. War has never been a solution and never will be! The folk song is a Ukrainian lullaby and is called "Oy Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon" (The Dream Passes By The Window)

Stand With Ukraine

A la radio, à la télé, les mêmes rengaines, ces gars là me foutent la migraine.
(Faut que t’éteignes, faut que t’éteignes)
Mon 10m2 me fout le cafard, mon lit défait qui sent le renard.
(Faut que tu sortes, faut que tu sortes)
Dans la rue, il y a des poissons rouges, qui tournent en rond dans leur bocal.
(Faut que tu bouges)
Sur ma petite planète, il y a plus le goût de la fête,
Les gens râlent pour un rien, englués dans leur ennui quotidien.
Les amis, les conquêtes, il y a plus que sur internet, qu’on peut les rencontrer,
Foule d’avatars, toujours connectés.
Pour une appli, faut tout partager, les photos, les nuits, les secrets.
(Faut que tu résistes, faut que tu résistes)
Y a cette enceinte si bien connectée, qui peut te rappeler ce que tu veux oublier.
(Faut que tu débranches, faut que tu débranches)
Dans la rue, il y a des caméras partout qui te filment
(de bout en bout.)
Sur ma petite planète, y’a Big Brother aux manettes,
Georges Orwell l’avait écrit, on n’est jamais seul, même dans son lit.
Les amis, les conquêtes, il y a plus que sur internet qu’on peut les rencontrer,
Foule d’avatars, toujours connectés.
Du vert d’eau, de l’émeraude et du jade, des couleurs dans ma vie de nomade,
(Faut pas rêver, faut pas rêver)
Le son du gong qui voyage dans les airs, vibrations qui pénètrent ma chair,
(Tu vas partir, tu vas partir)
Il y a des femmes, penchées dans la rizière,
(Tu es ailleurs)
Sur ma petite planète, y’a aussi des poètes, des oiseaux, des forêts,
Et des gens (même pas connectés).
Et des enfants qui jouent dans des flaques de boue,
Ils inventent leur Monde, sans besoin d’appli (même pas connectés).
Sur ma petite planète, je voyage dans ma tête, je me laisse emporter
Plus loin (même pas connectée).

Même pas connectés

This is an old song, originally written in 1992 or '93 while on a hitchhiking trip through the Nevada desert from Boise to Tucson Arizona. It took my friend and I eight days on the road to travel about 700 miles. 

The title is a reference to the two of us standing on opposite sides of the highway, willing to take a ride any direction as long as it got us out of there. It's about desperation, resignation, freedom, harassment, and finding beauty in the midst of extremes.

It is an experience I will personally never forget, and I have written the story once before but it was destroyed when a computer crashed and literally caught on fire before I could print it.

In the last few years I have started to try and tackle writing it again, and I stalled out a bit. Maybe revisiting this song will help inspire me to finish   documenting the tale?

You can read what there is of it here: https://twowaythumb.wordpress.com/

Ron and I originally recorded this song with our old band Godzoundz, but it was only ever released on a very limited cassette run. We decided a while back that we should chip away at re-recording these songs and try to give them their due as it was all pretty deep underground back then. So here's the first one of those.

Our basement studio flooded a couple weeks ago and production has been temporarily slowed, so we thought we'd trot out some of these oddities and misfits while we chip away at reworking our studio and getting it put back together. Hope you enjoy!

No More Than This

So tired of all your games
Being treated with disdain
A selfish heart turns black
Tears will flow when you look back

What seems important now will fade
Can you live with the choice you made?

Please take me away!
I don't know who I am anymore!
Who am I now!?
Who am I now!?
It's been so long!
Can't turn back now!

As the water reflects our face
So the heart is weighed by grace

What seems important now will fade
Can you live with the choice you made?

Greater love no more than this, 
To lay your life down for a friend

No More Than This (Hobocop & Cosmic Keanu)

You underestimate the scars you left
Left to rest within a sense of breath
I’m breathing yeah I’m breathing
More to adore you
And I’m breathing yeah I’m breathing
More to simply adore you
Save me from you
Save me from you
Put to rest any shame you claim
Shed the blame go on leave that pain
So I can see you
That’s all I want to do
Sitting in the darkness, I see no other end 
Seems that pretty little life you had has gone away again
Sitting in the darkness, you try and hide away
You try to leave the pain you try to find a way
Sitting in the darkness you’re falling apart
Losing you to pieces of a girl you never are
Sitting in the darkness, you’re all alone
A broken soul a broken home

I sit by myself and contemplate
Why I’m floating here under all this weight
Buried to my shoulders, I can't stand up
Everything has buried the man I once was

Break free

Break me

Buried

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)

RESIDENTS, PHILIP GLASS, DAVID BYRNE, FRANK ZAPPA, THE BEATLES, BAUHAUS, SISTERS OF MERCY, DAVID BOWIE, LOU REED, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, PARLIAMENT, SYD BARRETT, PINK FLOYD, PSYCHIC TV, NEU, MOMUS, MINISTRY, CHARLES IVES, BEACH BOYS, KINKS, THE FALL, JOY DIVISION, DEPECHE MODE, GARY NUMAN, LEONARD COHEN, STONE ROSES, GIORGIO MORODER, GEORGE CLINTON, THE CURE, DALIS CAR, JOHN ASTLEY, KILLING JOKE, ALIEN SEX FIEND, ROBERT FRIPP, DEVO, B52’s, IAN CURTIS, FAD GADGET, TALKING HEADS, GORILLAZ, MIKE PATTON, JON ZORN, LES CLAYPOOL, STEVEN REICH, TOM WAITS, THE EX, TOM CORA, THE CAKE, NAPOLEON XIV, KEVIN AYERS, ROXY MUSIC, FRANK TOVEY, RUPERT HINES, ROBYN HITCHCOCK, DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, SPARKS, BILL NELSON, JOHN CALE, TRIO, JULIAN COPE, HEAVEN 17, LLOYD COLE, TUBEWAY ARMY, FRONT 242, NITZER EBB, COCKNEY REBEL, SHRIEKBACK, VICTOR SNOW, GORDON LIGHTFOOT, THE THE, BABYBIRD, JOHN LENNON, ULTRAVOX, DAN DEACON, BACH, SQUEEZE, ANDREW ELDRITCH, IGGY POP, MIDNIGHT OIL, BILLY CHILDISH, BUTTHOLE SURFERS, VELVET UNDERGROUND, LOVE AND ROCKETS, ART OF NOISE, LOOK PEOPLE, CABARET VOLTAIRE, PRODIGY, et al.
>
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!
