These are most of the SoundCloud tracks I reposted in 2023. There's no quick way to create this, I had to scroll through all my "likes" and find the ones I reposted as well. Probably missed some, sorry! I limited artists that I reposted more than once to one track on the playlist. If you hear a track on this list you really like, check out that artist, they probably have more stuff you'll enjoy!

Such GREAT STUFF! We truly are providing an alternative here on SoundCloud, us unsigned, "unknown" artists. Thanks for sharing your music and keep it up in 2024!

Expressing strong emotions, such as anger and frustration, but also calm acceptance, Robot86 releases his 2 track album, 'Last Night On Earth.' Reminiscent of atmospheric techno giants, Floating Points and Aphex Twin, Robot86 has captured his feelings and poured them through old breakbeats and cinematic soundscapes.

Robot86 is from a desolate planet where war has been raging since the beginning of time. Electronic music is his escape from reality, what makes him different from the rest of the inhabitants. Released in memory of his grandmother passing away due to Covid-19, 'Last Night On Earth' represents Robot86's inescapable and suffocating dread that he felt.

"Everything Is" is a song written for individuals and loved ones affected by Alzheimer's and dementia. 

"Everything Is" by Le Jank feat. Drew Seeley

I wish for more days like the past inside me
But that’s doesn’t mean I don’t hope
I accept the present as this moment the rest 
Is out of our control
So...

All you need to know is all things are going to be alright
Everything is going to be alright now
Everything is going to be alright

I dream my life clock could tock tick, go backwards
To when the future seemed more clear
But I'll keep growin' to the sky with each blink, unshrinking
Until I forget how to fear
So...

All you need to know is all things are going to be alright
Everything is going to be alright now
Everything is going to be alright

This is a beautiful, sensual, heartfelt royalty free flamenco musical composition, with traditional Spanish guitars, percussion, bass and a bit of synth. Enjoy it!

Spanish Landscapes

Now you're looking through the remnants and the haze.
And a memory's just a picture that must  fade. (away)

I can tell you wanted to leave before you go.
But if it's so nice to meet me, say hello. 
Hello, Hello.

Oh, if history can teach us just one thing.
It's that we all end up right where we begin.
(it's a sin)

I can already watch you leave before you go.
I can already hear goodbye as you say hello. 
Hello, hello.

Can you hear the peels of the liberty bell,
as the jackboots are marching under a grey spell.
Can you hear the growling and wailing in woods, where the Monsters are lurking and up to no good. 
Can you hear the echoes of summer on  grass, as the task master tasks you and sets you to task.
All the good children que sera at the moon.
Which is floating in space like a carnival balloon. 

Oh, the danger in a meeting, good to go. 
And if you give me the wink then I would know. (Oh, for show)

I can already see your smile begin to go.
As you open up the door and say hello.
Hello, hello.




Hello

A song about persistence with the ones you love

LYRICS:

Try to lose
your California blues
But your walking shoes
are tied too loose
Find the loose end and pull it through
You don't need to be cool
Just need to be true

You don't need to be cool
Just need to be true

Three words are spoken too soon
Two hearts are broken by the moon
To fill the void in
We're drinking poison
Untended flowers never bloom

Duty is a poor motivator
Duty is a poor motivator
I'm gonna try

So gimme that lift-in-the-chest-
eyes-up-to-the-sky
version of 'ok,
I'm gonna try'

Gimme that lift-in-the-chest-
eyes-up-to-the-sky
version of 'ok,
I'm gonna try'

I'm gonna try

Duty

StjärnBrak (StarCrash)

This Time

Echoes in the cosmos, messages in the night,
Crossing cosmic oceans, in the endless night.
The silence is a symphony, the darkness is my friend,
Is this the price I pay, for a message that I send?

Lyrics:

When you're lying to you
You're lying to me
When you're lying to you
You're lying to me
When you're lying to you
You're lying to me

Small amounts that turn into dust
Dancing girls from the valley
They're turning off and on

But the shape of the disappearing
Amounts will change
To the person who leads their fight
The only way as an escape from emotional...

The second face with weak perhapility
Her body that bites roses
The real self is already lost in the dam

Small amounts that turn into dust
Dancing girls from the valley
They're turning off and on

As their destiny pleases
Two-faced faces in the mirror
Of face of the prediction
The available amount is within reach

ALTRUISM

Tony O'Manuel

Iranaian Harmonica

Oh, it was alright at the start.
But then you drank too much, and things just start to slowly fall apart.
And it'll be alright in the end.
And all the other bullshit coming from your friends.

Don't talk that fucking shit to me.
You know exactly how this goes.
You can't do nothing and expect things just to change.
Been down the road.
Cigarettes and Alcohol.

You got yourself some little tart.
Kidding yourself that you're so much better than you are.
They all think you're a fucking dick.
Be better if it didn't take you years to realise it.

Don't talk that fucking shit to me.
You know exactly how this goes.
You best do something if you're wanting shit to change.
Been down the road.
Cigarettes and Alcohol.

So you pour yourself another drink,
And you're gipping in your kitchen sink.
There's empty cans hidden in every hole.

And you're kidding no one but yourself.
There's no escaping mental health.
Reflection staring back all pale and gaunt.

The fun has gone it passed you by.
Old Red eyes they don't even cry.
They only get more angry at the world.

The only solution's another drink.
Another drink and, another drink.
That familiar feeling, all safe and warm.

Don't talk that fucking shit to me.
You know exactly how this goes.
Give it three days and you'll be rid of the fucking shakes.
Been down the road.
Cigarettes and Alcohol.

Cigarettes and Alcohol [2023]

I used polyrhythm with strings in triple meter and drums in simple meter for the verses. Just like that song  in 1975. More creative uses of this to follow. Also used a quartile chord found in ‘So What’. There’s a walking bass line and it is also the first to feature piano voicings that make for easier bass lines. 

Co production (cool sound effect in intro),drum editing, drum fills and instrumental mix from Blaz @a7-recording-studio

Lyrically, it is stream of consciousness with a few lines edited to rhyme. It was supposed to be about finding inner peace but I only ended up with one line about that. I am not tortured but someone else might be. Hope is a good thing. Not based on the novel with the same name as I have never read it.



I would like to thank my family (especially my parents and sister), Jinn (weren’t for her listening to the songs not sure I would have returned after a 1 year hiatus), my friends, the parents and students that I have taught (“I have been touched by your kids. And I'm pretty sure that I've touched them”), all of my teachers and the teachers for that compliment at Hulu (it’s an honor), and my listeners.

2 Quotes.
Past year has been busy with no days off. I’ve started jogging for 30 minutes and last year I finished Macroeconomics on Khan’s Academy. This year I’m onto Unit 8 of his Finance & Capital Course. I’ve gone on 2 week long business trips to Thailand and Malaysia. Since I am in this field I decided to see if I could pick up my mental maths. 

It reminds me of a quote that an Indian boy replied when asked, “what are your weaknesses?” at a job interview.

He replied, “I don’t have any weaknesses. My greatest asset is turning my weaknesses into my strengths.” 

For the longest time I thought it was a good reply but didn’t think it was possible. 
So I did some research online and all of the quant traders were using either rankyourbrain or zetamac. 
2 minute long sessions. Since rankyourbrain shut down I will only list my scores for zetamac. I began around the 40’s which was actually a ‘decent’ score by international standards.  I’d memorize the ones that I took a bit longer on and go over them daily.Then after about 20 minutes each day on both websites (2 sets of default zetamac questions) I started seeing improvement after 3 weeks. And now, I have a high score of 79 which puts me 12 points off from a rubiks cube whiz who posted his score on Youtube. If you had told me that I would be only 12 points off at the start I would have called it a miracle. Going from below average at something to above average. But, ‘miracles’ do happen like those Mexican teachers who rescue a whole class of failing students. And, there are guys who started off scoring 20’s on zetamac going on to score 90’s. And, a woman who is now a quant trader who bought elementary math books to work on. 

2 schools of thought.
“Take it easy man.”
“Sometimes the hardest thing to do and the right thing to do are often the same thing.” - Alfred

I think people don’t really pick one and live by it and its more of a mixture. So, I would encourage you to find something you think you’re bad at and work on it.
I know.
“Numbers isn’t my thing.”
I used to feel the same way. In the beginning you’ll experience frustration and disappointment. But confidence isn’t the lack of those thoughts but having those thoughts and still working through it. Keep at it and you will experience this feeling of joy that is usually not associated with maths. For only 4 mins a day. Free. A chance to see what your mind has tricked you into thinking you suck at. 

And when you do improve just remember that it is only mental maths, a very small portion of what maths actually is.



The other quote I really liked was:
“ I don't even care if they respect me. I know who I am. I've got enough respect for myself.”

An early Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all!

Voyage

The snow is fallin' on Christmas Eve
And I'm walkin down familiar streets
Warm food waits for me at home
Right now I'm happy just to feel the snow

But when we get back you'll be there
Smilin' at me from atop the stairs
The lights are glowing all around the place
A loving feeling resting on your face
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

Now I know where our home exists
It took awhile but I can admit
Not a place but it's all our own
Anywhere I'm with you, we're not alone

Presents and family are miles away
Along with memories of Christmas days
But we're together and that's all I need
warm on a homemade Christmas Eve...
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

All the promises that we have kept
replace the shiny new store bought gifts
The days ahead that we now see
Can't be wrapped under a Christmas tree...

The winter deepens in the frosty days
And glowing fires still keep me amazed
Inside our home's everything we need
When you wake up next to me...
On our homemade Christmas
On our homemade Christmas

- V3.04

Your Homemade Christmas

I sway, like a leaf, in, the autumn breeze
I fall, verdant green, feeling so serene

Crimson, golden red, remember those words she said
And I, will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine
Yes, I will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine

Ma Loi (Release 14/6)

Duet, Irish folk song

From The Hand Editions, a curator on Spotify: Hi Brian, thanks for the submission! I listened to your track and found it very interesting. I particularly liked this very delicate and lulling progression. The duet of the two guitars (beautiful the position so stereophonic!) conveys strong emotions. This is also thanks to a very airy and catchy theme where I also very much appreciated its melodic evolution. Excellent! On 29 February, I will include it in my playlist dedicated to peaceful music! A warm greeting!
Ciao Brian, I listened to your song, the song is very nice and sweet and the simple arrangement highlights the melody. Thanks bye

One day we will reach.
