3 of your tunes have been added to SUPPORT gathers MOMENTUM when RECIPROCATED vol 2 https://soundcloud.com/gothic-funk/sets/support-gathers-momentum-1

Superb.🔊🎶🎶😎👌👌✌️✌️

I've removed a few tunes, because I won't support musicians who take sides in disputes; I despise mob mentality!
>
To draw a straight line between NO LISTENS and the quality and substance of music is unadulterated, simple minded, rank stupidity, so don't be discouraged, if no one is listening to your music, it's likely because the right audience can't FIND your music!
>
The internet is now so FLOODED with music there is more chance of finding a needle in a haystack than the right audience finding your creations, but let's keep doing it for the love it anyway! 
>
Perhaps the time will come when those just seeking fame and fortune will wise up and drop out of the race, leaving the field clear for those motivated solely by passion, and perhaps prospectors, tired of being spoon-fed, fired up by curiosity, thirsty for authenticity and invention, may one day dig up those gems of yours, so KEEP ON KEEPING ON, let passion guide your creativity!

SUPPORT gathers MOMENTUM when RECIPROCATED vol 2

Lend you ears to Iselin Solheim - Back from the Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, and on the heels of the release of her well-received debut single “What’s Happening”, Iselin Solheim is firmly marking her place in the Scandinavian music scene with her newest single, “The Wizard of Us”, A-listet for 8 weeks on Norways biggest radio channel, NRK P1, and recieving great feedback internationally.

 

Iselin’s talent moved Sir Paul McCartney and his people to ask her to stay for 3 more years – but for Iselin, the music just couldn’t wait. 

 

Coming back to Norway, the Bisi Record label signed her immediately, followed by her debut last autumn with “What’s Happening”, a catchy tune that received wide airplay, and was picked as the “Song of the Week” for the national radio station Radio Norge.  This was just a sneak preview of what was to come for listeners and fans of this talented 22-year old.

 

“The Wizard of Us” features Erik Sollid from the Valkyrien All Stars on fiddle, as well as bassist Arvid Solvang from Maria Mena’s band, and Alex Bråthen on drums, a combination that gives the song a timeless flow that goes far beyond the standard format of modern pop music.

According to Bisi Record head Hilde Wahl, “The Wizard of Us is a 3-minute cosmic folk-pop journey to the center of Iselin’s musical universe, the product of her creative songwriting and unique style. This collaboration with producer Jesper Borgen is just the first of many songs they completed this past winter, so we look forward to a lot more from Iselin in 2013.”

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!

So High

To miss someone out there
I don't know the days
How many nights till we meet?
I'll count away
Rest assured, I'll be yours
Till the end of my days
Until I'm tired and my hair turns grey

I'll believe it when I see it
If there's nothing else, then where's the meaning?
Moving forward, hope I don't careen now
Before we figure this out

It starts in my head, moves down to my toes
This feels like nothing I've felt before
It's been a while and that's okay
Just to feel this inside
One day I'll know
You're the love of my life
The love of my life

Long dream't of this moment
Not enough to hold it
Where I'm by your side
You're in my mind and my soul
If souls could dance, I'd learn to waltz
Just to hold your hand until I fall
Every inch with you just seems so very far

I'll believe it when I see it
If there's nothing else, then where's the meaning?
Moving forward, hope I don't careen now
Before we figure this out

It starts in my head, moves down to my toes
This feels like nothing I've felt before
It's been a while and that's okay
Just to feel this inside
One day I'll know
You're the love of my life
The love of my life

It starts in my head, moves down to my toes
This feels like nothing I've felt before
It's been a while and that's okay
Just to feel this inside, one day I'll know

You're the love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life

You're the love of my life

For Music Day

I'm on the lookout for musicians who understand the best way to get MORE support is to give it!

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!

GO AHEAD MAKE MY DAY (MAKE THE BED)

Hailing from rural Vermont, Social Deception is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Matthew Alan Stoddard.  Social Deception's music blends genres, including industrial, electronic, and alternative rock, with a message of social awareness. Stoddard's lyrics touch on themes of environmentalism, societal decline, and a search for real connection in a chaotic world.
But Social Deception isn't all darkness.  Beneath the distorted guitars, melodic keyboards and Stoddard's impassioned vocals lies a glimmer of hope. The music calls for a rejection of the unseen globalist forces holding us back, urging listeners to break free of the mechanisms of control and forge a brighter future.  It's a soundtrack for those searching for truth, yearning for a deeper connection, and determined to build a better tomorrow. 
If you follow me I will follow you back! I really enjoy listening to new artists and music on here, connecting and collaborating when I can....

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!
