Just Another Teenage Suicide
by Nadia Selvaggi

The clang of a dead ringer's bell ignored
and the Angel of Death draws her sword

You kneel in sorrow at my tomb,
eyes swelling red and wide,
as you lay a flowered wreath of guilt,
and wonder why -- why God took me!

I saw the world through a fog of lies, 
self-hatred and delusion,
but only a child would have come to that conclusion -
and have God take me!

Now, I will always be just another teenage suicide

Now, in the rapture of life 
you sacrifice your own life,
and ask God to take you!

Screaming from above --
can you hear me?

Now, I will always be just another teenage suicide

The clang of a dead ringer's bell ignored,
and the Angel of Death draws her sword

The darkest days still bring 
a soothing voice, a morning sky
And may the veil be lifted
from your weary eyes --
and may God wake you!

Just Another Teenage Suicide by Toshi Rio & Nadia Selvaggi

L’ombre de mon vaisseau, plane sur les dunes,
Je tourne lentement, autour de la lune,
En apesanteur, mes cheveux dressés,
Dessinent les flammes, de la liberté

Si je perds le contrôle, que les moteurs s’affolent,
Je tombe comme une pierre, en route vers la Terre.

Je fais un parachute, de ma toile cirée,
J’ouvre le hublot, je le vois gonfler,
Je remonte en flêche, vers la voie lactée
Je salue une comète, qui me voit passer,

Mais les écrans s’affolent, je reperds le contrôle,
Je tombe comme une pierre, en route vers la Terre.

C’est la panique à bord, quelque soient mes efforts,
Je vais finir, par me réveiller,
Dans un lit trop petit, entourée de harpies,
Qui ne pensent qu’à me droguer,

Je ferme les yeux, je retourne sur la lune,
Je sens les roses, qui embaument les dunes,
Paraît que ce cachet, va tout arranger,
Je ferme les yeux, je retourne sur la lune,

Autour de la lune

Autour De La Lune

In a fit of inspiration... Another one for the collection:

Some of the best music around today is #UNSIGNED so don’t dismiss

(HERE HE COMES) THE HAPPY DORQUE - STEVEN VELLOU & VAL AKEY re-edit

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE by @PanAtTheParadox (#PanagiotisBarliakos) featuring #StevenVellouHorne & #ApostolosGeorgoulis

Whoever did the final mix on this tune pushed the second verse of the vocals way out of sync. Not sure how he managed that as the rest of vocals remained in sync. Unfortunately, Steve can’t fix this, nor re-record the vocals, because the tracks are no longer available. A pity, because he feels the vocals could be done better second time around, given more time to perfect them.

Some of the best music around today is #UNSIGNED so don’t dismiss it without a listen; it is a #MYTH that it is inferior to #SIGNED music!

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE by PAN AT THE PARADOX featuring STEVEN VELLOU

Exchanging feedback is the best way to support one another, while at the same time keeping showcase sites like Soundcloud alive; if we are not proactive these sites will eventually become inactive, impotent, leaving us with nowhere to showcase our music!

How do feel about us gathering proactive musicians, those who understand the value of swapping MEANINGFUL support, actual listens, constructive feedback, sharing posts on X, Facebook, etc., into a community called THE FEEDBACK FAMILY, which would include playlists made up of those musicians who sign on to the project—want be part of it?
>
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!
>
Some Soundcloud musicians receive tens of thousands of listens, and more power to them, but spare a thought for those of us who struggle to reach double figures; it isn’t always because our tunes are inferior!

Why swap support, swap genuine listens, feedback and shares?

We are all competing with tens of millions of musicians; to say it’s overcrowded out there is a huge understatement, and it’s that overcrowding that makes it so difficult to reach an audience—it’s exactly like searching for a needle in a haystack, and who has the time to do that!

That’s why the support of other musicians is so important, that’s why the respect, the hype, the acknowledgement must start with us! When we are so dismissive of each other’s talent, why should a listening audience treat us any differently!   

When we disrespect, dismiss and shun each other’s talent and music, what we are saying to the world is, we don’t waste our time listening to the tunes of unsigned and independent musicians because they are inferior to those signed, established, musicians—it’s negative advertising!

If we are to have any chance of breaking the stranglehold of a mercenary music industry, if we are to have any chance of convincing a potential audience that our music is , more than not, actually superior to signed music, more inventive, more innovative, more creative, more imaginative, and a whole lot less formulaic!

Music has come a long way, it’s never been so diverse, so it’s ridiculous that people are forced to listen to formula conveyor belt music, high on production, low on substance! Listeners have no idea they are being spoon-fed scrag ends; they belief the myth that signed means superior—well I’ve heard enough unsigned music to know that just ain’t true….but we’re never going to prove that as long as we continue to treat each other’s music as though it were worthless! @MusiciansWithVision

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!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
