This is the disorder I've suffered with since childhood; primarily responsible for me doing nothing with my life, doing nothing with my music.

Lyrics and Vocals by Jean-Michel (https://soundcloud.com/jean-michel-george):

Let me ride your siren's voice
(Unbind me from the mast)
Gliding vowels and words of choice
(No highway cowboys)
Trickling from your honey lips
(L'e dans l'o du coeur)
Perfect R's that roll like hips
(Notes unsung)
Howling winds and whispered oaths
Sailing to your milky shores
As seamen must
In a final thrust
Like the sweetest sun-kissed peach
My D-day landing beach ...

OEDIPUS LOVES ELECTRA (BUT SHE DOESN'T LOVE HIM)

SHE EXUDES A, A WILL OF STEEL
WHICH HE MISTOOK FOR SEX APPEAL
TAKING MORE THAN SHE WILL EVER GIVE
STOLE HIS WILL TO LIVE YET EXPECTS HIM TO FORGIVE

OEDIPU LOVES ELECTRA BUT SHE DOESN’T LOVE HIM

TAKING MORE THAN SHE WILL EVER GIVE

OEDIPU LOVES ELECTRA BUT SHE DOESN’T LOVE HIM

LOVE WITHOUT PARITY
WILL ALSO LACK CLARITY
WHILE HE DEALS IN FANTASY
SHE DEALS IN REALITY

ONE OOZES VANITY
DICTATES EVERY DAY
RECITING RULES SHE KNOW ARE CRUEL 
BUT RULES HE MUST OBEY

OVERLORD AND UNDERDOG
GIVER AND RECEIVER
ONE WOULD NEVER KISS A FROG
THE OTHER A BELIEVER

FEMALE   MALE
OR GENDER ROLE REVERSED
A REPETITIOUS TALE
ONE OVERLY REHEARSED

OEDIPUS LOVES ELECTRA BUT SHE DOESN’T LOVE HIM

Homme invisible
dans ta chambre un soir
je me glisserai pour te voir
violation de domicile
sans idée d'homicide
j'y viendrai quérir
de mes souvenirs
la saveur acide.

Homme invisible
dans ta chambre sans bruit
je me glisserai à la nuit
des indivisibles
ombres du nombre
la mienne sera retranchée
telle une ancienne tranchée
cachée sous les décombres.

Homme invisible
dans ta chambre en visite
je me glisserai dans ton site
dans ton home visible
dans la chaleur de ton duvet
ton corps doucement remuer
je regarderai muet
je regarderai muet
je regarderai
sans contre toi me lover.

Homme invisible
de ta chambre je partirai
quand la nuit viendra à se retirer
douce et paisible
alors tu t'éveilleras
respirant mon parfum volatile
erreur d'homme invisible.
La nuit suivante tu veilleras...
Erreur d'homme invisible...
La nuit suivante tu veilleras...

Homme invisible [Dan-T & Lukowig]

This song is dedicated to one of my best friends. A fascinating person, but one who is permanently under the pressure of electricity, driven by a burning desire for deep inner peace and yet constantly restlessly searching. In one of our intensive conversations he said about himself: "My longing is holding me tight". - And in this way the title of this song was born. 
Yesterday he called me and said: “Karl, the Corona crisis is terrible on the one hand. It creates a lot of illness, financial threats and, due to the increasing restrictions on the exit, possibly an escalation of violence. 
On the other hand, the rapid disruption of everything that has been my daily habits forces me to face more of the three basic questions of life that I have been running away from so often:
Who am I really? How do I want to shape the relationship with my loved ones?And: What place do I basically want to take in society and the world?”
And then something happened that I had not known about him before: He paused, and there was a pleasant silence on the phone line. Finally he said: "You might be surprised; with all the shit that Corona brings with it, the forced deceleration associated with it does me a tremendous amount of good. I finally get a little bit of that inner peace I've always longed for.”
Maybe this little monologue of my friend will help all those who are struck with the Corona crisis (...and therefore me, too) to see in this current "world tsunami" also a chance for profound change...      
 

My longing is holding me tight

I am so drunk again.
Have just drained the whole Wissky

The Corrupting Scoundrels
Stand with me in a “fake flirtation”

My soul full of holes
Uninhabited and unfournished

My hands on endless search after a drop 
From the sea of love far away from me

The meadows in me full of scars
The skies inside me: Starless

The garish colours have been melted away
The once so wet womb is almost dried out

My Longing is holding me tight
Holding me tight

Alwas played for my life
Often I begged the moon

To float free for a second
For a moment, that happiness invites me

Used to sleep in tall trees
Built myself deep caves there

Sought peace among grazing sheeps
Confided in healers and gurus

Inside me the murmur of the graves
The sound of the demons howling

I'm eternally put off till later
Been fooled so many times by a will-o'-the-wisp

My Longing is holding me tight
Holding me tight

My longing is holding me tight

My Longing Is Holding Me Tight

PLEASE DON'T LET YOUR EYES BEGIN TO WANDER
TAKE THIS HEART OF MINE AND STILL THE THUNDER
DON'T LET THE SUN TRANQUILIZED BY THE MOON GO DOWN ON YOUR ANGER

AT THE END OF EVERY DOOMSDAY
ALL THE TROUBLES OF THE WORLD CAN JUST MELT AWAY
A LITTLE TENDERNESS, A LIITLE LEEWAY
AND ALAKAZAM, ALL THE ANGUISH AND THE ANGST DEPART

EVERY TIME WE ARGUE....

LONELY PARIAH

I may invade political territory, but, in actuality, I’m a #HUMANITARIAN #SOCIALIST who believes....

#EMPATHY is the KEY to SOCIAL EVOLUTION!

In contrast, POLITICS are a source of divisiveness, exploitation, cynical manipulation & control!

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)

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!
