SUPERFINE APOSTLES

Puzzle Pieces (prod. by moo)

This song was initially about myself and my 3 sisters who ended up all living in different cities, but it's really about trying to enjoy and celebrate life, no matter where life takes you.

This song tells my story in a very ironic way in this part. Ici je mélange mes propres expériences avec celles de beaucoup d’amis « tombés sur le front : le rock 🎸 » 😝 
Ou parce que rien ne s’est passé comme ils ou on  le rêvaient…!?.😤
Mais qui peut se vanter d’avoir bien fait, 
ou simplement avoir réussi ? 
Réussi quoi d'ailleurs ?

Les MôMes N’Aiment Pas La Lose 
 texte/music/arrangements /production Benjamin Laplace 

Enfant, j’avais des galets plein les poches, 
des ricochets Galápagos 
que je lançais 
dans le vent. 
j ‘était 
Guitare et Mozart 
voyou ou Balthazar
Mais clochard je le serais 
Jamais
Les étoiles sont des notes 
que je cueille avec des  mots, 
sur ma guitares 
Les propulser la haut !

Devenus grands on se cache 
avec d’la bière au fond des poches 
et des secrets assez moches, 
pour oublier qu’nos rêves de gosses, 
c’est Bof, moche . 

Devenus grands on se cache 
avec d’la came au fond des poches, 
des vieux secrets assez moches, 
qui raconteraient 
Pourquoi, comment 
ça l’a pas fait…..

Les momes n’aimes pas la lose !!

Enfant, j’avais des galets plein les poches, 
des ricochets Galápagos 
que je lançais 
dans le vent 

j’ ai rencontré mes vrais potes, 
On a chopé un virus du Rock
Qui ne nous quitterait , 
jamais, 
même si nos idoles tombaient 
Nous à cette dope on y toucherait 
non non non 
jamais 
Jamais….jamais…….

devenus on se cache, 
la honte au fond des poches 
Aux enterrements de nos proches
Ou à l’asile 
où il rumine 
Sur le passé….

Devenus grands j’ai eu d’la chance, 
que ma guitare soit un planche
de salut que je sombrais, 
j’ai continué 
J’ai  composé 
J’ai même chanté ! 

Les momes n’aimes pas la lose !!
Les momes n’aimes pas !
Les momes n’aimes pas la lose !! 
Les momes n’aimes pas !

Les momes n’aimes pas la lose !!
Les MôMes N’aiment Pas La Lose

Your Space Or Mine?

Let's stop hate each other for jealous. Let's start suffering people, homeless people 

Phezulu [Prod. By G-clock]

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

UGLY AS SIN

WE ONLY SEE THE THINGS THAT WE WANNA SEE (Βλέπουμε μόνο τα πραγματα ότι εμείς θέλω να δω) Wir sehen nur die Dinge das wir möchte sehen

The audience my music can reach is limited by my no boundaries, on the fly, go with the flow, unruly approach; it means occasional tracks will appeal to those with particular tastes, but all of it will appeal to the select few who like anything different!

Why Leave Feedback?
#HYPE from other musicians is a whole lot more effective than #HYPING yourself!
If I come and listen to your stuff and leave feedback will you do the same for me? I’m not looking for follows and likes, which achieve nothing on their own; I’m talking #GENUINE listens and GENUINE feedback!
LET’S GET BACK INTO THE HABIT OF SWAPPING SUPPORT; everyone loses when we snub each other’s music!

WE ONLY SEE THE THINGS THAT WE WANNA SEE (Βλέπουμε μόνο τα πραγματα ότι εμείς θέλω να δω)

ORSON'S PLAY (The World Will End On Tuesday)

QUASI-ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRE IN THE PARK AFTER DARK

CHARLTON HESTON'S COLD DEAD HANDS

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 approach to making music is to go wherever it takes me! Last place I wish to go is where lust for fame & fortune might take me!

The audience my music can reach is limited by my no boundaries, on the fly, go with the flow, unruly approach; it means occasional tracks will appeal to those with particular tastes, but all of it will appeal to the select few who like anything different!

MY TUNES ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING ON THE FLY; NO COOKBOOK, NO RULES, NO PREPARATION, NO PLAN; IT JUST HAPPENS!

FORMULA THINKING AND BOUNDARIES PUT EXTREME LIMITATIONS ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS; TRUE ART CAN NOT BE PRODUCED WITHIN A RESTRICTED SPACE!

I BREAK ALL THE RULES DEFINING THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SIMPLY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THEM!

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