UNSIGNED ARTISTS ON SOUNDCLOUD 12

Almost on a daily basis I am told by one Soundcloud user after another that my music is crap, that I have zero talent....what do you think? Are they right, or is it a case of sour grapes? And do you think I take it to heart :) No! What's heartbreaking for all of us is....WHEN NO ONE LISTENS!

OFF MY BOX - AMPHETAMINE ORCHESTRA

forever yours prod. maxim

Lyrics & Music by Madonna/Mirwais Ahmadzaï (2000)

Hey, Mr DJ put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby

Do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like to boogie woogie
do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like my dancing?

Hey Mr. DJ put a record on 
I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop 
it's gonna drive me crazy

Music, music
Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Don't think of yesterday 
and I don't look at the clock
I like to boogie woogie
It's like ridin' on the wind 
and it never goes away
But she's everything I'm in 
got to have it everyday

Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Hey Mr. DJ

Do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like my dancing

Hey Mr. DJ put a record on 
I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop 
it's gonna drive me crazy

Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

TRANQUIL LIZA (recorded 1980)
>
HIS HEART HANGS HEAVY
LIKE A ROAD TAX LEVY
BUT SHE KEEPS HER WILL ALIVE
DETERMINED TO RECOVER
FROM THE KICK IN THE EYE
FROM THE KICK IN THE EYE
>
SHE'S TRIED A THOUSAND TIMES
TO BLEED HER BODY DRY
BUT THE MONKEY ON HER BACK
WHISPERS GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY
>
NOW LISA'S CRANKED UP REALLY HIGH
>
TRANQUIL LIZA, UNDER SEDATION
TRANQUIL LIZA, DROPPED SOME TUEES, AND BACK-STREET BLUEYS
TRANQUIL LIZA, UNDER SEDATION
TRANQUIL LIZA, BLOCKED ON TUEES, AND BACK-STREET BLUEYS
>
SHE FUMBLES FOR THE £5 WRAP
STASHED AWAY IN THE LINING OF HER MACK
ON A CHARCOAL SPOON SHE EMPTYS OUT THE SMACK
ADDS A DAB OF LEMON, AND TWO MILLS' FROM THE TAP
>
SHE HEATS THE FLUID GENTLY, WHILE STIRRING WITH A MATCH
THEN DRAWS IT THROUGH A FILTER INTO THE ROCKET MADE OF GLASS
SHE WRAPS THE MAKE-SHIFT TORNIQUE 'ROUND HER DARTBOARD ARM
WITH SPIKE ATTATCHED SHE POPS HER SKIN
A>ND CRANKS THE JUICE INSIDE

TRANQUIL LIZA, UNDER SEDATION
TRANQUIL LIZA, DROPPED SOME TUEES AND BACK STREET BLUEYS
TRANQUIL LIZA, UNDER SEDATION
TRANQUIL LIZA, BLOCKED ON TUEES, AND BACK-STREET BLUEYS
>
BLOCKED ON...BLOCK...BLOCK

TRANQUIL LIZA (recorded 1980)

A couple of months ago, Rodolfo Planes from Tierra del Fuego sent me a wonderful piece of music (in a different key and without lead guitar) that he hoped I’d write lyrics for… 
I was so excited that the first verse popped into my head almost straightaway, and with great patience and honesty, Rodolfo lead me through the learning curve that would be the gestation of this song.
The passionate music somehow stirred in me a sense of longing and belonging, combined with the enforced isolation from loved ones during lockdown. I think Rodolfo’s music helped me express this powerfully.
His solo still continues to move me even after countless listens. I am very grateful to him for this opportunity and I sincerely hope we can work on other projects. 
Thanks for listening and please check out Rodolfo’s cloud if you can.

I know where I’m going,
Though I don’t know where I am.
My drive ain’t slowing,
If it’s Birmingham, Alabam.
Gotta get me on the road,
Back to where I’m coming from,
Might not have the zip code,
But I know where I belong. 
I know, I know, I know that I belong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I know what I’m missing,
And where I might find it.
Without even reminiscing,
I’m right back there, I admit.
Close my eyes, and I’m there,
Though in reality,
I’m still stuck in elsewhere,
And I’m the absentee.   
I know, I know, I know that I’ve done wrong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I’ve been uninvited,
Yet I felt compelled to come
A need to be reunited,
Whatever the outcome.
This prodigal believes,
In the error of his ways.
He vows that he’ll never leave,
Where his hat now he lays
I know, I know, I know that I’m back home.
It has taken some time,
But I feel at home already.
I’ve been down that road.

I wish I knew then (What I know now)

LOVE IS A ONE NIGHT STAND

Lyrics;
At the moment
I'm sitting in my car
Across the street
From where I know you are
My mind's a blank
I don't know how to feel
With you in there
As I sit behind the wheel
I shouldn't be here
Staggered and nonplussed
Might take a while
For my heart to adjust
Not for a moment
Did I dream you'd lose my trust
At the moment
There is nothing I can say
Should I go home
Pack my things and go away
Or wait right here
Till you walk out the door
You'll know it's over
Don't want to see you anymore
You shouldn't be here
Our love forever crushed
What could have been
Just a dream that turned to dust
Not for a moment
Did I think you'd lose my trust

Trust

Onetime Oneday

Bad keys, shaky shakers, 
acoustic and tremolo guitars... 
I try to not grill ALL of these ingredients
ALL of the time... but it’s hard.

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!
Anyone can click a like button; it doesn't prove you actually listened! Anyone that doesn't show proof they are actually listening will be removed from playlists! If the only support you give is to cynically click like buttons, you are contributing to the eventual demise of #Soundcloud and other music sites; without these sites to post your music on you are basically screwed; there won't be much point to making tunes if you don't have any kind of audience!

If you don't give REAL support, the support you get will eventually come to an end; we all eventually get tired of giving and getting nothing back. In the end, not only does it ruin the chances of everyone else, it will destroy your own. It is also a big mistake to underestimate the talent of others and overestimate your own! Don't assume their music can't be as good as yours; burying your head in the sand might protect your ego, but it doesn't do much for your reputation!

If you can't show respect, you don't deserve respect, so don't just click the like button, listen, and leave feedback to prove you listened. If you don't get into the habit of doing this, #Soundcloud won't be around much longer!

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!
