THE AMYL NITRATE QUARTET

Do You Love 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!

SAM WELLER WITHOUT SALT

WELCOME TO MY MISERY
WIPE YOUR FEET AND COME INSIDE
TIS A TOMB OF TRAGEDY
WHERE THE DARKNESS CANNOT HIDE

WALK INTO EACH ROOM OF GLOOM
THERE ARE SEVEN LIKE THE TUNE
UNLIKE THE WORDS OF TAMLA TOPS
MY SEVEN NUMBERS WERE UP TOO SOON

IF YOU ASK THE REASON WHY
I WILL TAKE REFUGE IN A LIE
IF YOU ASK ME FOR THE WHEN
I WILL KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

'TIS A YARN OF WORDY LENGTH
THAT HARDLY GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
A WEAK AND WEARY CHAPTER ONE
GATHERS MOSS WITH EVERY LEAF
BUILDS AND BUILDS TOWARD BELIEF
AND FIZZLES OUT TOWARD THE END

AND SO WITHOUT TO MUCH ADO
I WILL INTRODUCE TO YOU
ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS AND THE LOW-LIGHTS
OF A FAST-LANE LIFE IN CREWE

I WILL TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY
SO DEVOID OF MYSTERY
YOU WILL WISH ONE TINY MERCY
ESCAPE AND LIBERTY

IN MY LIFE EACH DAY'S A JOKE
I’M THE BUTT AT WHICH THEY POKE
I’M THE SOURCE OF MUCH AMUSEMENT
DUBBED THE SCHIZOPHRENIC BLOKE

NEVER WITH ME
LAUGHING AT ME
THEY TAKE THE MICK AND MOCK
IT’S IRONIC
I’M A COMIC
A SAM WELLER WITHOUT SALT

(INST. BREAK)
WHERE WAS I NOW?
LET ME SEE!
TOWARD THE END OF CHAPTER THREE
BEFORE THEY TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOOR
BEFORE THE CLOCK TURNED BACK ON ME

LONG BEFORE THE LAST ECLIPSE
BUT THREE WEEKS PAST THE NIGHT OF SHIPS
THE NIGHT OUR TWO PATHS ALMOST MET
THE ROPE, THE PILLS, I CAN’T FORGET

NO!
I CAN’T FORGET MY DICE WITH DEATH
I BRUSHED AGAINST THE DEVIL’S BREATH
FINGERS WRAPPED AROUND MY THROAT
I ALMOST SAILED ON CHARON’S BOAT

I WOULD NOT,
HAD NOT THE CORD
THAT CARRIED LIGHT
DIVORCED,
HAVE FAILED THE FINAL FITTING FOR
MY MEASURED WOODEN OVERCOAT

NOW THE PARTY HAD BEGUN
WHEN MY BOOK OF LIFE BUT DONE,
LIKE THE BLANKS FIRED FROM A GUN,
PACKED A SUCKER PUNCH FOR FUN

IN A MOMENT OF CONFUSION….A
PARAGRAPH FROM ITS CONCLUSION
THE SPARKS BEGAN TO FLY
LIKE SOME PHANTOM PREGNANCY

ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING
FILTERS OUT THE FINAL SCENE
A SUPERFICIAL SMOKESCREEN
A FIRST OF APRIL PIPEDREAM

THE PLOT WAS JUST A SICK JOKE
A PRELUDE CUEING IN THE HOAX
A PRELUDE TO THE SOFT SOAP
WORN UPON SOFT CENTRES LIKE A SUGARCOAT

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!

MEAN EYE...LAZY EYE

YOU HAVE A MEAN EYE
I HAVE A LAZY EYE
YOU HAVE A THIRD EYE
BORING INTO EVERY MIND

YOU HAVE A MEAN EYE
I HAVE A LAZY EYE
YOU HAVE A THIRD EYE

TWO EYES THAT FAIL TO SEE
TWO EARS REFUSE TO HEAR
ONE MIND, ENCLOSED AND WEAK
TWO LIPS AFRAID TO SPEAK

TWO MINDS THAT NEVER MEET
ONE EGO THAT FAILED TO LEAP
ONE VOICE, THE VOICE OF SHEEP
ONE THOUGHT, A SILENT BLEAT

YOU HAVE A MEAN EYE
I HAVE A LAZY EYE
YOU HAVE A THIRD EYE

BREAK

TWO HANDS EXTEND AND GREET
TWO ARMS ADMIT DEFEAT
TWO LIMBS THAT WON'T COMPETE
ONE FLESH WITH TWO LEFT FEET

TWO FACED, BUT ONE DECEIT
FORK TONGUES, AND DOGS IN HEAT
ONE SOUL THAT WEARS CONCEIT
NO SENSE, A WORLD ASLEEP

YOU HAVE A MEAN EYE
I HAVE A LAZY EYE
YOU HAVE A THIRD EYE

Why Leave Feedback?
#HYPE from other musicians is a whole lot more effective than #HYPING yourself!

THE AMYL NITRATE QUARTET

The Amyl Nitrate Quartet is a bit tongue-in-cheek, slightly satirical, off the wall, zany, quirky, experimental, a bit punky, a bit funky, neither one thing or the other, accidentally fusing a multitude of genres!

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!
