Various artists I've crossed paths with, exchanged listens, feedback, with over the years. Some may have given up on the music, while others are still at it. My philosophy is, none should be forgotten.

WE BENEFIT FROM POSTING ON SOUNDCLOUD THE MOST WHEN WE FOLLOW BACK, LISTEN AND LEAVE FEEDBACK

Who should we follow back? The Soundcloud users who don’t just follow us they actually listen and leave feedback, makes sense, right. So why does it make sense, because they are the ones actually supporting your music, they are the ones that raise your profile and feedback is FREE hype, it advertises your product, it tells new arrivals to your page that your music is worth listening to, that’s what I mean when I say we ALL benefit.
These platforms actually end up failing BECAUSE we don’t maximise their potential in this way, a follow serves no purpose if we don’t follow through, and if we don’t follow through others don’t follow through either, we all become wary of giving support because we know only a very small number will do the same for us.
So how does this affect these platform, activity slows down eventually grinding to a halt, once that happens platforms like Soundcloud could end up going out of business, eventually there will be no platforms left for us to FREELY post on, the day will arrive when the ONLY way to post our music is to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE, so you see being PROACTIVE not only benefits you and I it ensures the survival of platforms like Soundcloud; ok, so it doesn’t deliver in some of the ways we’d like it to, and including reaching an actual audience, but it’s a whole lot better than nothing at all!

WHERE ARE THEY NOW volume 5

Ride With Me feat. Diamond Lounge & People of the Parallel

Check out the Official Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/a716qXqdeY8

Ride With Me - Charley Young (feat. Diamond Lounge & People of the Parallel)

“Clown” is the last single from the second chapter of their story, an EP titled “Purge”.
The atmospheric and apocalyptic tone of the track is evident in its lyrics with the inspiration being drawn from all the systematic disfunctions that are clearly visible around us every day, as well as the impact on all our lives, still most of society pretends that everything is of course fine and dandy!
What is really poignant about “Clown” though is its wonderful contrast creating a calm but not too bright ambiance leaving you rocking out and reflecting at the same time. A real master class of a song.

Anomally (TM Remixes)

Cholly - Anomaly (Tiger Mendoza 140 Remix)

In ancient Greek "Pneuma" (πνεῦμα) means "breath" and in a religious context it stands for "soul" or "spirit". "Soma" (σῶμα) is the opposite, and it means "body", as a distinct entity from the soul.

With these two words, the world had a completely new significance, or better, it became more visible, almost tangible: we are two, two as one.
"We are spirit bound to this flesh" sings Maynard Keenan of Tool, and these words resonate with me. We are spirits, we always have been, but we are also physical entities that must interact with each other in order to reach "great knowledge", by mistake, by love, by being together and by being alone.

Let your spirit shine, and let your body walk you through the experience of life.

Pneuma / Soma (Single)

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUNSHINE

I'M LOOKING FOR 
A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUNSHINE 
TO FILL THE VOID 
REPLACE THE WORLD WE DESTROYED
DARKEST NIGHT DID FILL THE COLORADO STATE 
IT'S A DISEASE, NOT JUST MOMENTARY HATE

FROM MINOR TO CRITICAL 
THE GUNSHOTS ARE LITERAL 
UNDOUBTEDLY POLITICAL 
BUT SOCIAL UPHEAVAL 
FRUSTRATION GOING GLOBAL 
ARE SIMPLY CLASSED AS EVIL

JASON PACK SAYS THERE'S NO REAL CONNECTION 
TO ANY STRAND OF THE TERRORIST INFECTION 
OBAMA SAYS HE'LL RESTORE OUR BELIEF 
DISPEL THE GRIEF, BUT RULES OUT RESURRECTION


HE'LL RESTORE PEACE 
TO MOVIE SEATS 
IN HOLLYWOOD, AURORA 
WHERE GUNS ARE SWEET 
AND BULLETS, NEAT
WHERE EACH DEATH HAS AN AURA

SHOCKED AND SADDENED 
HORRIFIC AND TRAGIC 
STATEMENTS ROLL OFF WHITE HOUSE TONGUES
BUT FIREARMS, FREE FOR ALL AND SUNDRY 
IS NOT THE ISSUE ON THE TABLE TODAY

THE PERPETRATOR IS THE KEY 
HE SHOULD HAVE USED THEM PROPERLY
THE GOVERNMENT COULD NOT FORESEE 
HE'D USED THEM ON A KILLING SPREE

'TIS TRUE WE LET THE GUILTY FREE 
TO WALK INTO EACH DORMITORY 
TO KILL THE GALS OFF RANDOMLY 
EXPLOITING VULNERABILITY

BUT THIS TIME, NO, IT COULDN'T BE 
THE FAULT OF THOSE WHO RUN THE SHOW
CONVINCED BY OUR OWN WORTHLESS PLEA 
OUR WHITE ROBES TAILORED PERFECTLY

WE RANT ABOUT YOUR LIBERTY 
AND RAVE ABOUT ITS SANCTITY
WE WASH OUR HANDS, AND CONSCIENCE FREE,
WE BASK IN OUR IMPUNITY

DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MISERY 
THE FRACTURE AND DISHARMONY
THIS FARCE OF LIFE EQUALITY 
A DEMOCRATIC FALLACY

MICK ROMNEY, TOO, IS SAD AND BLUE 
TO NOT SAY SO WOULD MISS HIS CUE
WOULD LOSE HIM VOTES, AND BE A CLUE 
THAT POLITICIANS, SAD BUT TRUE, DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ME AND YOU

DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MISERY 
THE FRACTURE AND DISHARMONY 

GENOCIDE IS MINIMAL 
MASS MURDER IS ACCEPTABLE 
REDUCED TO A STATISTIC 
LOSS OF LIFE; COMPUTABLE

DEATH IS IN THE DISTANCE 
TOMORROW SWEEPS THE GRIEF AWAY 
BUT HEADLINES GET A SECOND CHANCE 
AS FUTURE FOOD FOR FANTASY

THE GUN IS JUST AN INSTRUMENT 
TO BE USED FOR GOOD OR BAD 
THE BOMB, TOO, JUST A FRIENDLY TOY 
WE RECOMMEND FOR GIRL AND BOY

THE SHELVES AT 'TOYS ARE US' GIVE PROOF 
THOUGH MOTHERCARE REMAINS ALOOF 
THAT WEAPONS ARE THE PRUNING SHEARS 
PLOUGHSHARES SPREADING WORDS OF PEACE

SOME MOGUL CRIES OUT JOYFULLY 
LET'S GRAB THE OPPORTUNITY 
A DAYTIME MOVIE ON TV 
LET'S MAKE HIM A CELEBRITY

EXPLOITING IS OUR INDUSTRY 
WE PROFITEER IN TRAGEDY 
WE SHED A TEAR QUITE CYNICALLY 
AND MUTILATE ITS LEGACY

JUST CALL YOURSELF THE RIDDLER 
THE JOKER OR THE PENGUIN 
SMILE WITH GREAT CHARISMA WHILST 
YOU BRINGETH OUT THE DENVER DEAD

WE'LL MAKE THOSE DREAMS OF FAME COME TRUE 
YOU DID WHAT WE'RE AFRAID TO DO 
YOU WAITED FOR THE SOULS TO QUEUE 
THEN BUTCHERED THEM, SO WE THANK YOU!

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUNSHINE: Mass Murder The American Way

Victim Of Illusion's NEW album - Invisible Light

A New Beginning

I Lost Everything To You
Great electronic and psychedelic trip-hop track, with a loose and easy-going trap drumming, that nicely accompanies the strong and cutting edge rap vocals. The energy on the lead verses contrasts with the distorted trippy chorus, really catchy and with a quite haunting sound. Also pretty nice and deep lyrics to which a lot of listeners will be able to relate.

3Mind Blight - Pain Wont Go Away (feat. Clare Estelle)

3Mind Blight - Under Control ( instrumental )

Verse One:
I know you feel it
That tinge in the air
I know you see it
Those looks of despair

Pre Chorus:
People can live a lie
For as long as they want to try
Surging into the night
Keeping Truth from sight

Chorus:
But dawn brings new light
A strong golden might
Courage can save the day
Make the lies go away

I'm not leaving you here
To writhe in fear
I'm extending my hand
I'll carry you through the sand

Spoken Bridge:
These rodents of unusual size have too many seats at the table.
We might need to flip the whole thing if we are to unravel these fables.

Verse two:
I know you hear it
The sirens blare
I know time is short
But there is still time to care

Repeat Prechorus then Chorus

Through the Sand

BaYaT: Through the Power of Storytelling and Social Consciousness
The Hard Rock Band’s Path of Transformation

Born in the cradle of Novi Sad, Serbia, BaYaT is a formidable five-piece hard rock band with a passion for powerful, honest lyrics and electrifying live performances. Echoing the style of influential rock groups like Audioslave and Godsmack, BaYaT has carved its unique space in the global rock music scene.

Their music is an unfiltered reflection of society’s complexities and personal experiences, mirrored through their evolving perspective on life and change. Each composition packs a powerful punch, setting listeners on a profound sonic journey.

Finding their strength in the true values of community, family, and love, their songs represent a refreshing perspective in a world full of materialism. Acknowledging the power of personal transformation, they aim to inspire others to make the world a better place. 

BaYaT first set the world ablaze with their debut album “So It Begins”, known for its raw power and compelling storytelling. The band has also released several singles over the past three years. They were also finalists in the 2020 Wigwam UK radio online awards for best global alternative rock band.

The next step in their journey came in 2023 when they signed with Rexius Records. As they continue to deliver powerful music, BaYaT is undeniably on a meteoric rise, solidifying their place as a global rock phenomenon.

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!
