amazing lyrics and vocals as expected,  as well the story of our treacherous society seeming the same issues on all sides of the sea

Your keen eye never ceases to amaze me. Yet I wonder—could I myself be that podcaster? Your questions strike at the heart of things, so whenever I listen to your music, I can't help but think deeply, deeply. A work born of brilliant ideas!

DarkComfortable sound, blends well into a playlist (mute-fuse)

It’s so hard to descend truth from the waves of information coming from all angles.  Does free will even exist anymore?  Great track brother!

Acoustic numbers really suit this time of year.

Hey Carl man, I really dig this song about the paradox of having limitless information at our fingertips, yet choosing faulty information because it confirms out biases. Fantastic music that carries it along, too, brother man. Excellent work all around here!

Solid songwriting, Carl ✨🫶 a beautiful tune and your haunting vocal delivery is excellent 👌

Great track Carl had me finger drumming along to this ♾️🫶🏼

Fabulous Ted Talk on disinformation there

Information

A plethora of data
Great luck brings this day
Our history of knowledge a few clicks away
It seems too much for our little brain
If we tend to be right no matter domain
Let's start with... I'm wrong
I am ignorant to known
Keep pinches of salt for absolute groan
Ulterior motive wants you to believe
So you stop asking questions
A mind control we must leave

Information grow
Say ok to, I don't know
Information feed the knowledge that we need

Info that's processed through a composed mind
Will question the source and their qualified kind
Liars, they flourish from our want to be one
The one who has answers
Shocking answers that stun

"The more I learn, the less I realise I know"
Our greatest minds said of figuring show
So how can "we know" from a biased podcast
Your head is in the sand
This petty info won't last

History will show the dimmest of mind
Good info is here
Yet you listen to blind
An era of humans who don't question new way
In spite of plethora of qualified say


Information!
What's my idea of "run"
Run for the heart or water flowing fun
With agreed context
Our many meanings come
Some semiotics serves discernment sight of sum

Information grow
Say ok to, I don't know
Information feed the knowledge that we need

I find it fascinating that we live in an era where more people have access to more information then ever yet we still live by the truth of a pod caster that's a good sales person and switch off the questions that challenge that version of reality completely. It's comparable to trash AI systems... bad data in we get a trash system...
Same goes for human beings it seems

Most sensationalist podcasters are preaching to the converted and they know and profit from the fact that their audience does not care to think critically and ask questions challenging whatever reality they are offered by them. It's a cult of personality and the influencer knows they have trust from their following as they feed off the want for people to have conspiratorial answers. Psychologically this seems to point at serious weaknesses in the characters of the people that get taken in by this but if the Socratic method of questioning was actually put to most of these sensationalist theories, they would likely fall asunder pretty fast. These influencers are in a bubble and know they can't be questioned however we can apply the questions and remove ourselves from the mind control that these people thoughtlessly try to impose on us. If we do that and remove the absolute trust in what we are being told we have a better chance at finding the qualified minds that might actually teach us constructive ideas about this world and about our place in it 🌍

If we do that... We say "I know" a lot less because generally we haven't a clue! That's amazing to realize and activates better questions about our reality and maybe seeds us more worthwhile information ℹ️

"Semiotics" is the study of signs and symbols, and how they are used to create meaning.

To do for expanding TBD

-Start releasing on all platforms again

-Accounts on all social platforms and automate posting to these

-Start making good video content and brainstorm a you tube niche - possibly guest jams with other soundclouders might work. Solid up a user friendly remote jam setup to make this workable. Interviews with SC friends to grow the video content and appreciate properly that support which has got us to this point. Consider playing on the poetry and narrations as scenes

-Make a website and embed links and consider expandimg on the behind the tracks here too

-Consider splitting into an alternate artist brand names and divide music to be genre specific in line with how algorithms work. This will also allow for curation of albums which are easier to connect to
Possible additional release names:
~Light of Light
~The Gaia Group


-Prepare a set for first TBD gig and headhunt musicians to bring the whole pieces to stage


Services to establish
-You Tube
-Instagram
-TikTok
-BandCamp
-ReverbNation
-Word Press
