Hot Wired Heart's

Another weekend

Another Weekend

This song is about the frustrations and betrayals that artists face in the digital age, particularly with music streaming platforms like SoundCloud. I was recently hit hard when my total play count suddenly dropped by half, with hundreds of plays vanishing from each song seemingly overnight. I've heard about three other artists that have had this happen to them as well.  It was a stark reminder of the lack of control and transparency artists have over their own work. The lyrics highlight the issues of transparency and fairness in counting streams and paying royalties, and how these systems can be manipulated to the detriment of the artists. It's a call to action, demanding justice and fairness for creators, and emphasizing the importance of honesty and integrity in the way our work is valued and compensated. 

This song is a protest against SoundCloud's exploitation of artists and a plea for a more equitable system that respects the value of our work. 

Let me know with a comment, if this has happened to you as well. I emailed SC but never received a reply as usual. 😡


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In the shadows, numbers fade
A silent theft, a hidden shade
Hundreds of thousands, a count so fine
Now halved in an instant, left to decline 

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 2]
Months of silence, a meager pay
A measly amount, for a lifetime's sway
The system's broken, the trust is worn
As the counts are manipulated, and the truth is torn 

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 3]
SoundCloud's ledger, a dishonest page
Where our hard work's worth is rewritten in their stage
The fire that burns, within our hearts
Is fueled by passion, and a work of art 

[Bridge]
We're not just numbers, we're not just plays
We're the heartbeat, of a creative way
We're the voices, that speak to the soul
Don't silence us, don't take control 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Outro]
SoundCloud, your name is tied to shame
There should be justice, a reckoning to claim
Artists demand, a fair and honest share
You should do right by us, show you care.



Fractured Counts

Black Petals is about staying strong—even when life feels too heavy to carry. This track dives deep into some of the darkest moments I faced growing up, the kind that nearly broke me. But it’s also a reminder: there’s still beauty in the struggle. 🌑🌸

This beautiful beat was produced by the incredibly talented Eweezy, someone who’s believed in me since day one. He saw something in me I hadn’t even discovered yet—and for that, I’m forever grateful. 🙏🏽

Fun fact: The male adlib you hear in the second verse is my real brother—someone who literally saved my life when I no longer wanted to be here. Love you big bro… always. 🖤

My Auntie lost her husband of over 60 years; she wanted me to write a Doo-Wop song for her...I said what do you want to call it? She said, "You're My Guy". 

[Verse 1]
In the Houston heat where the sun don't quit
You're my cool breeze my shady spot to sit
A good many try but none can compare
You're the song in my heart the wind in my hair

[Chorus]
You're my guy my favorite line
The melody I play on repeat every time
My favorite pastime my sweetest tune
With you every day feels brand new

[Verse 2]
Dusty boots and a wide Texas sky
You’re the reason I laugh the reason I smile
The clock spins slow but with you it flies
You’re my sunset glow my firework skies

[Chorus]
You're my guy my favorite line
The melody I play on repeat every time
My favorite pastime my sweetest tune
With you every day feels brand new

[Bridge]
If life’s a rodeo you’re my eight-second ride
If love’s a journey you’re my passenger side
You’re the song I hum when the world gets loud
My Texas star shining bright in the crowd

[Chorus]
You're my guy my favorite line
The melody I play on repeat every time
My favorite pastime my sweetest tune
With you every day feels brand new

You're My Guy

I went outside again today
The clouds were still familiar gray
I'm praying everyday for May
The groundhog says it's far away

Powder blankets my front lawn
Hail pours down from dusk to dawn
The forecast told me to move on
If that was easy I'd be gone

I grab my quill, but I get a chill
From touching its frozen feather
The ink is thick, solid as a brick
You’ll never get this letter 

Are you somewhere so warm?
I’m stuck in the snowstorm
The birds are southbound
I stay here year round
Like an evergreen tree
Fallin’ to the ground
If no one hears me scream,
does it make a sound?

While I walked beside the icy creek
The hillside roared, the bank got weak
Snow crashed downward from the peak
God alone heard the way I shrieked

I tried to move but time stood still
My lungs collapsed, I took the spill
I didn't know how bad pain could feel
Now I see why you took those pills

From a branch, in the avalanche
I echo out into the void
Catastrophe, it's pure agony
Come back to me, come back to me

Come back to me 
(come back to me)
Come back to me
(come back to me)
Come back to me
(come back to me)
Come back to me

Are you somewhere so warm?
I'm stuck in the snowstorm
The birds are southbound
I stay here year round
Like an evergreen tree
Fallin’ to the ground 
If no one hears me scream,
does it make a sound?

Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)

Are you somewhere so warm?
I’m stuck in the snowstorm
The birds are southbound
I stay here year round
Like an evergreen tree
Fallin’ to the ground
If no one hears me scream,
does it make a sound?

Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
