EARTH SCORED NULL

Spaced out baby body soul
Seven billion people living alone around this world
There is a party going in my fucking hood
Chicks will wait for something burn some Hollywood.
Spaced out baby body soul
Met with an old friend telling me cracking words
Story after story he said in the end
He was such a brother will se him back again.

When I fall in love I get dizzied.
I fall out there's just dirt to dish,
a memory to drown me in.
Still, can't regret my big scene,
though I acted the fool
my double became a real has-been.

Durge sent me this beautiful Acoustic version and we decided to leave this live version intact as an Alternative to the Studio version...  It has Durge singing the lead and myself as the harmony,  just to switch it up, and it was a lot of fun to make it ..  We hope you enjoy this version as much as our recent studio version of this song..     (https://soundcloud.com/danielsdurgy/i-could-fall-9a-eq)   
Love, Nat & Durge. 

Lyrics:
Like a shadow that creeps up on you
Or a bend in the road surprising you
As you walked towards me 
Your smile met mine
and I knew that I could fall

I could I hear my heart beat loud and clear
as the souls in the room all disappeared
and the veil was torn from my childhood eyes
Like a hole I’d fallen through.. 
at the end was you

Oh I.. I could fall… God I think I’m already there
Is it real? Or is it me? 
a fool that never learnt not to care..
but I know what I know
and I feel it in my soul
in a world of constant cynics..
Be the least of all my critics..

Can you stop the waves from crashing down?
Change the flow of the winds, or break the storms?
It’s the same when you find the one you’re meant to love
You leap… you fall… You fall…

Oh I.. I could fall.. 
God I know I'm already there..
‘Cause I’ve given in… 
without a fight to a velvet stare
Oh darling I am yours!
Won’t you tell me you're mine..?
'Cause I.. I could fall
Oh I, I could fall
Oh I could fall for you.

I could fall for you.. You Know…
I could fall.

a little remark. I had finished the track with a recording of thunderstorm & rain, a didgeridoo jam, beat, bass, synth and additional  Dschembe percussion .. and wanted vocals :-) So I used that vocal acapella from a Ghosthack vocal pack, Melissa, Need You - coming to the point: I reduced the pace to 69.33% :-)) from 75 bpm to 52 bpm on a track in 104 BPM ! ... judge for yourself ;-) & have fun with this crazy combination of tribal and soul ... photo: Claudia Aran, unsplash - Manhattan

Need You feat. Melissa

This song was initially an instrumental.  With the great help from Richard and Mellina, we successfully converted it into a vocal song preserving the original title.  See what you think.   Hope you like our work.
Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
Wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show you where your path could be			
If you walk along with me, come now you’ll see		
		
Watch the sun slip into night			
Hold each other till it’s out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only wanted to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you are still in my head			
Thoughts of all that we have shared			
			
If you like we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of hope as it begins to change			
Oh I'm watching thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
Take my hand and I’ll guide you through			
 			
Repeat Chorus			
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and think of me			
			
Only you can have that secret dream			
No one else can see,  no one else can dream			
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I wake with you in my head			
Thoughts of all that we have shared

NEVER TOO LATE
________________
hey I know you…
do I know you?
I feel you…

are you there?

I open the curtain
I open the door

are you there?
I can feel you
are you there?
I can feel you

used to be
like a has been
in another life

in another life
yeah in another life
in another life

in another life!
in another life!

It’s never too late!
It’s never too late!

never!
never!

it’s never too late!
I’ve got it made, I’ve got me!

Never Too Late | The Consolers

Half a Pack of Marlboro Lights and a Busted Chandelier

Not the best of days today, 
Bailiff breaking down my door.
Ain’t got no bread to pay
What he was asking for.
Stole my only chair away
It’s why I’m sittin' on the floor.
With all I got to see me right, this statement of arrears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Maybe time to hit the road
In my baby Buick Six.
Transmission fell out months ago
Standing up on bricks.
Seems every turn I’m knocked down low
By the devil’s dirty tricks.
Now all I got to see me right is a box of shredded gears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Chicken shack exploded
Feathers coming down for days
My moonshine still was overloaded
Time to mend my ways
Guess I always knowed it,
Life with the demon never pays
Now, all I got to get me through the night is an empty can of beer,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Never meant to shoot my hound,
I was aiming for the wife.
Seems I’m not the hottest shot in town.
Ain’t that the story of my life.
If there’s any bad luck kickin’ ‘round
It’ll head my way tonight.
Hell, all I got to see me right is a pocketful of tears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Half a Pack of Marlboro Lights and a Busted Chandelier

ΛΕΣ

Candle light in the Dark
Breathing Air right into your soul again...
Igniting the spark, that resides in you that flame burns forever...

In the light of the day, 
See the many faces of GOD...
There is no other when, when its within you, then without you're forever...

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!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
