Many people have a battle with mental health. This song is about that struggle. To keep ourselves together.

Lyrics:

For miles and miles and miles
We saw our lives in piles
History as our mirror
Face ourselves in fear

The sand for miles and miles
Surrounds our cries 
Ohhh!
Fallen ones
They tried hard
Now they lie down
Hardened souls
Who fought hard
Didn’t turn them against the cause

Waves of thoughts come
Into our head
Attacking our resolve
This fight to dissolve apathy
All our willpower
Needed for the march ahead 
To face the enemy within

One and two and three and four
March across the broken glass
Five and six and seven, eight
Heading for the lemming fate
(There’s got to be another voice, 
a voice that brings another choice. 
Hold on, watch your step, 
Marching to a different world of hope. Hope. Hope. Hope.)

Ohhhh!

Imagine we had all won,
Imagine we were all one.
One.

The Enemy Within

Hi! I'm Dan.

Amateur musician and working guy. I post my creations here from time to time.
I use both musical instruments and electro-acoustic devices to create a song.
I've started out with palying guitar for a few years, then learned how to play bass guitar and just not long ago started drumming and i'm a little familliar with a keyboard. I dont excel in any of them, but i can use all of them for my purposes. I'm also trying to learn mixing, mastering and studio recording techniques.

My musical influence comes from:
Tool, Metallica, Slipknot, System of a Down, 80-90's Hip-hop, Hungarian Underground Hip-hop, 00's Underground EDM-EHM, Akira Yamaoka, Ennio Morricone, Tinariwen, The Who, Kansas, Queen, Jimi Hendrix and a lot of blues.

If at any time you decide to support me or what i do, you can listen to my music in Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, Apple Music or Youtube Music and you can give me a like on my social media pages.

Bigfoot is a friend of mine. We like to make music and share it with our friends. See our YouTube channel and A Journal of Nonsense for more fun.

Composer/Songwriter. Proficient performer of piano, bass guitar, double bass, cello, 6 string , 12 string , drums, triangle (shall I include tambourine too?🤣), vocals, lyrics. 99% of the tracks on this page are original songs. None of my performances on any of my tracks, whether solo work, or collaboration, have any editing whatsoever. Effects and equalization? Of course! But no editing, no software, etc. Quite a substantial amount of these tracks are with The Eclectic Collective. We are like family and have been playing together on a daily basis since approximately March of 2022 as the Eclectic Collective. Before the band bore it's name Eclectic Collective; Josh, Ken, Stephen, Tez, and  CG Maness were doing some occasional collabs. At any given time we are all simultaneously working on about 15 different songs. And when we feel they are done cooking in the oven we release them.  We release a song every week on Fridays at 4AM UTC

Members of The Eclectic Collective :
The Beautiful Dark 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)
J.J. Terrell
Llanpsych
K2 and the Three [and the Four]
TexMex Shaman
Mistermark

After updating my new time travel profile pic, I figured it was also time to refresh the bio. The amount of world-class talent on the Cloud never ceases to amaze me. I don’t say that lightly – I’ve learned so much from so many of you. There are artists here I genuinely consider among the best musical talents I’ve heard anywhere. And I have heard a ton of music.
I’m a lifelong music addict. For me, music can be transformative, cathartic, joyful, and intellectual – often all at once. My taste? Almost anything done well. Almost. My own music is eclectic: from acoustic guitar pieces to jazz fusion, to prog/alternative/psychedelic rock, to electronica.
What really keeps me here, though, is the community – the interaction, and the sense of connection that somehow forms even when we never meet in person. The goodwill and respect are something special, and I don’t take that for granted.
Finally, regarding recording – if you’re still reading! – my humble studio hasn’t changed in 15 years. I’m even still running Windows 7 to support my old Steinberg DAW. No AI tools – just me, I like to control the physical process at every step, from idea, to playing, editing, mixing, and final production.

i just love the creativity,its so rewarding in its self, myself being a work in progress/ I also consider my music to be the same...Love & ☮️ peace

I grew up in the 1970's and learned music & guitar with the music of that age so I think that era's style is how I best express myself musically. 
I like the Alt Country sound today and like exploring that musically or whatever else catches my ear.
I like exploring and experimenting with virtual instruments and effects.

I am retired now and really like finding and listening to so many talented musicians, songwriters and vocalists on SoundCloud. At this point in my life I have the time to listen to most people's pages I find on Soundcloud or I see that have visited my page and have listened. Anyway, I find using SoundCloud very enjoyable and look forward to hearing more of the music y'all are creating.

I play Guild acoustics and Gibson, Epiphone electrics and several other misc. stringed instruments. 
I use a Nektar Impact LX88 Keyboard and record with Studio One.
