Loving the energy and atmosphere in this one. Intense yet awesome :D

I love this sound with a sensational style

(Free WAV Download available here under '••• More'; and eventually as part of my next BandCamp solo album)

I’m a little perturbed to admit, it isn’t the desire to make music that’s standing in my way right now. It’s the disappointing realization that I can’t stop focusing on a world that feels very much like ‘bullet train about to meet brick wall’. I’m having a hard time seeing the positive at the moment, and it’s seriously messing with my ability to write hopeful messages to go with my songs. (more text below...)

I always want these liner notes to be uplifting; something you can visit from time to time, have a few laughs (thus the word ‘perturbed’. What a wonderfully silly word). Perhaps you’ll discover a fresh idea, or interesting perspective you hadn’t considered before; little morsels of hope and positivity. It’s one of the things I genuinely love about these multi-layered creations I get to put together (which oftentimes even help me process things better in my own mind), and I would love to keep that tradition going.

So that brings us back to the topic of what to write about. And thankfully, the perfect topic just happened this past week; my oldest daughter adopting the most adorably friendly puppy I’ve ever encountered. Her name is Fuji, she’s 6 months old (already 35 lbs), a Greyador (half Greyhound, half Black Labrador), and she is a miracle… on so many levels. 

I forget sometimes just how powerful the little things can be; and that is such an unfortunate thing to forget. Nothing fills my heart to overflowing more quickly than a small person or critter staring up at me with unconditional love and curiosity in their eyes. Is there any experience more heartwarming than a child grabbing your hand, or reaching out to you to be held? Or what about a pet that goes nuts when you get down on the ground with them, as they gleefully lick your face? These are beautiful, heartfelt experiences; and they are so worthy of our attention and gratitude. 

A dog or cat doesn’t understand you had a bad day at work. A baby doesn’t know how stressful doing your taxes can be. They just know that you are the center of their world, and nothing would make them happier than getting to play with you for a while. How awesome is that!!

So while society enforces this idea that we need to start molding these new lives early, to make them more acceptable to the structure… I suggest we stop serving what society wants (it’s a silly structure anyway), and start embracing the amazing gift of innocence and fresh perspective these young lives have to offer us. Sure, it’s important to teach a dog not to bark or bite. It’s important to teach a child to be kind and loving to others. But it is equally important to get down on their level from time to time, and remember to see things through their eyes. 

We may have more knowledge and life experience than them. But we also have an overwhelming number of opinions and biases; and they are not always right. These new lives start with none of the silly ideas we’ve adopted as our reality. They are tabula rasa (a clean slate), ready to absorb whatever new experience comes their way. They provide the clarity we need, and they provide quick reminders to stay present. If you’re not present with a baby (human or animal), if you are stuck in the mindset that they have nothing to teach you… you are missing out on one of life’s most precious gifts.

So sure, things might seem a little scary in the world right now. But if you have a young child or pet in your life, you have so much to celebrate. You are in the presence of true consciousness, and innocence, and unconditional love. And now is a great time to benefit from their overwhelmingly fresh perspective. I hope you enjoy my latest creation, ‘The Little Things’. Happy Holidays, my friends. :)

MUSICIANS WITH VISION THEME number 9

Anyone seeking authenticity, imagination & personality, in creativity should explore unsigned music; that's where my faith in the future of music lies!

UNSIGNED MUSIC isn't inferior to SIGNED by any stretch of the imagination! Look past the illusion, find out what you're missing!

REALITY CHECK! Most LIKES are FAKE, no LISTEN took place! Only FEEDBACK that in some way describes the substance of the tune proves that it was actually played and HEARD!!! #SatiricalStevenSays #SixFootUnderground #MusiciansWithVision

FEEDBACK FAMILY: REPOSTS no longer work and LIKES make no difference whatsoever; ONLY positive FEEDBACK makes a difference, a BIG difference. Feedback makes your account more VISIBLE so it brings MORE TRAFFIC, MORE LISTENERS—it also serves as GENUINE HYPE, visitors see the amount of feedback you receive and that arouses their curiosity to listen, and when they listen, seeing all that genuine hype influences the way they listen—they hear your music through POSITIVE EARS. 

The ABSENCE of feedback has the reverse psychological effect, it KILLS CURIOSITY, and those who do listen, listen with NEGATIVE EARS. Potential listeners rarely find your page in the first place because the LACK OF FEEDBACK means your music posts don’t appear in THE FEED, quickly disappearing from view. The music of those who DO enjoy feedback REMAINS in the feed, visible to viewers, and the visibility of their latest post is far greater than those who don’t receive feedback. 

The result, some of best music on Soundcloud goes UNNOTICED, which is why I propose the idea of a FEEDBACK FAMILY as a way of raising the profile of all those who joined this initiative. Twitter is a good place to coordinate such a project and I have an account set up on there specifically for that purpose. 

If you are interested in joining contact me on here or on Twitter and I will fill you in on how the whole thing works. FEEDBACK BEGETS FEEDBACK! https://twitter.com/Feedback_Family

MUSICIANS THAT HAVE A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE TO THE REST, TEND TO MAKE MUSIC THAT IS DIFFERENT TO THE REST!
It is common practice for musicians to click the like button on #Soundcloud without ever listening to the tune! There is no proof it was listened to, so it's impossible to know who genuinely likes a track! Only actual #feedback proves it's been heard!

I use to follow musicians back that clicked the like button, but it becomes very obvious that only 10% actually listen, when you receive five times as many likes as listens. This has made me extremely wary about being the first to leave feedback, and that kind of wariness spreads like wildfire!

Because of this, I only follow musicians back that leave feedback, or share one of my posts; and I will only leave feedback once if the favor isn't returned. it is better to keep searching for musicians who have enough #class and #humility to return the #respect!

#Musicians that have those qualities clearly have depth, creating tunes for the love of it, rather than simple to fuel their own ego, and fatten their bank accounts!
