These are most of the SoundCloud tracks I reposted in 2023. There's no quick way to create this, I had to scroll through all my "likes" and find the ones I reposted as well. Probably missed some, sorry! I limited artists that I reposted more than once to one track on the playlist. If you hear a track on this list you really like, check out that artist, they probably have more stuff you'll enjoy!

Such GREAT STUFF! We truly are providing an alternative here on SoundCloud, us unsigned, "unknown" artists. Thanks for sharing your music and keep it up in 2024!

Unsigned Radio Hour #2

About a decade ago two things happened: I came really close to losing a family member to a sudden brain infection and my then-wife asked for a divorce. In both cases I didn't have an opportunity to tidy things up before the door suddenly shut. I wrote this song at the time but it took awhile to unpack the suitcase. As usual, I would much rather someone else sing this than me, preferably Harry Nilsson.


Well I guess this is goodbye
I won’t see you anymore
Your eyes are strangely vacant
You’re just staring at the floor

Well I swore I wouldn’t cry
Well I guess I’ve lied before
Lies are only wishes
We don’t believe in anymore

And if I hold your hand
Would you understand?
Would you hear me call your name?
Words to dull the silence
Nothing to dull the pain

Is this the last goodbye?
I can’t believe that it comes to this bitterness
Is this the way love dies?
Tossed out and hopeless
No time will tell, no fare thee well

If I could do it all again  
I’d be the one to bend 
I’d soften up my heart
I’d treat you like a friend

Did I ever even try?
Did I give it all I had?
The days that made me dizzy
Are the only days we’ll have

Is this the last goodbye?
I can’t believe that it comes to this bitterness
Is this the way love dies?
Tossed out and hopeless
No time will tell, no fare thee well

Open up your eyes so I can see you one last time

(Kick-ass guitar solo)

But it’s over now
And I don’t know how
To leave it all behind
I want to hear you say it
I gotta hear you say goodbye

Just one last goodbye
That’s all I need
Then I will leave
Then we'll let it die
I won't fight
I’ll be alright

Open up your eyes so I can see you one last time
If love is blind, I’ll close mine

The Last Goodbye

All That Glitters
Words: Fogey and CW		Music: Fogey
Mixing: Jack Holston

All that glitters may not be gold
But the allure of something shiny never seems to get old

I should know better than to fall
For the lure of something skin deep like a siren’s call

Initial Attraction and short-term satisfaction
May not be a winning recipe
Subtler charms and welcoming arms are for me

A queen and her drama should raise an alarm, ha
That Ego’s a glutton that brain is unbuttoned
Better beware son danger lurks there son
Here’s the story that is seldom told
All that glitter soon gets really old
A true heart is true gold

I felt so special when she smiled
And slyly glanced then my heart danced just like a wild child

Some time later she smiled again
But this time it was for somebody else so it begins 

Don’t take the plunge she’s an attention sponge,
It’s agreed, her wandering’s guaranteed
Smiles that are earned and not merely learned are for me 

A queen and her drama should raise an alarm, ha
That Ego’s a glutton that brain is unbuttoned
Better beware son danger lurks there son
Here’s the story that is seldom told
All that glitter soon gets really old
A true heart is true gold

(Let this be told)                                 All that glitters may not be gold     
(A true heart is true gold)                  All that glitter soon gets old

All That Glitters

I used polyrhythm with strings in triple meter and drums in simple meter for the verses. Just like that song  in 1975. More creative uses of this to follow. Also used a quartile chord found in ‘So What’. There’s a walking bass line and it is also the first to feature piano voicings that make for easier bass lines. 

Co production (cool sound effect in intro),drum editing, drum fills and instrumental mix from Blaz @a7-recording-studio

Lyrically, it is stream of consciousness with a few lines edited to rhyme. It was supposed to be about finding inner peace but I only ended up with one line about that. I am not tortured but someone else might be. Hope is a good thing. Not based on the novel with the same name as I have never read it.



I would like to thank my family (especially my parents and sister), Jinn (weren’t for her listening to the songs not sure I would have returned after a 1 year hiatus), my friends, the parents and students that I have taught (“I have been touched by your kids. And I'm pretty sure that I've touched them”), all of my teachers and the teachers for that compliment at Hulu (it’s an honor), and my listeners.

2 Quotes.
Past year has been busy with no days off. I’ve started jogging for 30 minutes and last year I finished Macroeconomics on Khan’s Academy. This year I’m onto Unit 8 of his Finance & Capital Course. I’ve gone on 2 week long business trips to Thailand and Malaysia. Since I am in this field I decided to see if I could pick up my mental maths. 

It reminds me of a quote that an Indian boy replied when asked, “what are your weaknesses?” at a job interview.

He replied, “I don’t have any weaknesses. My greatest asset is turning my weaknesses into my strengths.” 

For the longest time I thought it was a good reply but didn’t think it was possible. 
So I did some research online and all of the quant traders were using either rankyourbrain or zetamac. 
2 minute long sessions. Since rankyourbrain shut down I will only list my scores for zetamac. I began around the 40’s which was actually a ‘decent’ score by international standards.  I’d memorize the ones that I took a bit longer on and go over them daily.Then after about 20 minutes each day on both websites (2 sets of default zetamac questions) I started seeing improvement after 3 weeks. And now, I have a high score of 79 which puts me 12 points off from a rubiks cube whiz who posted his score on Youtube. If you had told me that I would be only 12 points off at the start I would have called it a miracle. Going from below average at something to above average. But, ‘miracles’ do happen like those Mexican teachers who rescue a whole class of failing students. And, there are guys who started off scoring 20’s on zetamac going on to score 90’s. And, a woman who is now a quant trader who bought elementary math books to work on. 

2 schools of thought.
“Take it easy man.”
“Sometimes the hardest thing to do and the right thing to do are often the same thing.” - Alfred

I think people don’t really pick one and live by it and its more of a mixture. So, I would encourage you to find something you think you’re bad at and work on it.
I know.
“Numbers isn’t my thing.”
I used to feel the same way. In the beginning you’ll experience frustration and disappointment. But confidence isn’t the lack of those thoughts but having those thoughts and still working through it. Keep at it and you will experience this feeling of joy that is usually not associated with maths. For only 4 mins a day. Free. A chance to see what your mind has tricked you into thinking you suck at. 

And when you do improve just remember that it is only mental maths, a very small portion of what maths actually is.



The other quote I really liked was:
“ I don't even care if they respect me. I know who I am. I've got enough respect for myself.”

An early Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all!

Voyage

The snow is fallin' on Christmas Eve
And I'm walkin down familiar streets
Warm food waits for me at home
Right now I'm happy just to feel the snow

But when we get back you'll be there
Smilin' at me from atop the stairs
The lights are glowing all around the place
A loving feeling resting on your face
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

Now I know where our home exists
It took awhile but I can admit
Not a place but it's all our own
Anywhere I'm with you, we're not alone

Presents and family are miles away
Along with memories of Christmas days
But we're together and that's all I need
warm on a homemade Christmas Eve...
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

All the promises that we have kept
replace the shiny new store bought gifts
The days ahead that we now see
Can't be wrapped under a Christmas tree...

The winter deepens in the frosty days
And glowing fires still keep me amazed
Inside our home's everything we need
When you wake up next to me...
On our homemade Christmas
On our homemade Christmas

- V3.04

Your Homemade Christmas

I sway, like a leaf, in, the autumn breeze
I fall, verdant green, feeling so serene

Crimson, golden red, remember those words she said
And I, will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine
Yes, I will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine

Times have been hard on you and I.
Our blinds have been drawn blocking out the sunshine.
Let's pull them up and let's see what we may find.
For I need your love, you'll always have mine.
My love. You're my love. 

I'm mesmerized by your beauty and your mind.
Still, after these years, I'm amazed that you're mine.
Especially after my mistakes and selfish times.
I must hold on to you for you are divine.

my love

If you're into modern rock bands like Black Keys, Royal Blood, Nothing But Thieves, and Biffy Clyro, then the music from this closet rocker could be for you.
For older influences, you might detect some  Finn Brothers in various configurations (Split Enz, Crowded House, Neil and Tim solo and together), Brian Wilson, Grateful Dead, John McLaughlin, Gomez, Radiohead, Steven Wilson, Bowie, and a bunch of others I’m forgetting at the moment.
In general, I play all the instruments, do all the arrangements, and do the heavy lifting on the vocals.
I tend to love music that rewards repeated listening rather than ear candy. That’s the spirit in which I hope you'll listen to this music.
I do both solo projects and collaborations with brother, who is on Soundcloud and Spotify as CW Mullins.  
CW pulled Fogey back into making music with a bunch of songs he had written and wanted to get recorded.  Collaboration started in 1983.  CW has carried the load on lyric writing, writes a lot of songs that Fogey performs and arranges, and Fogey writes music for some of CW’s lyrics.
