New Electronic Music: “Turn the Music On!”

Sometimes, the only thing keeping your head straight is the music. In this case, a little upbeat electronic music.

Right?

Save Another Song

Lyrics

Turn the Music On

 

So you’re feeling kind of low

You’ve nowhere else to go

Feeling broken and alone

In a place you don’t call home

 

Hold your head up high

Let your spirit touch the sky

Sing the words out loud

Turn your feelings into sound

 

Time to turn the music on

 

Sometimes you just don’t care

Just need a little air

You got up in today

You can throw it all away

 

Hold your head up high

And let your spirit touch the sky

Sing the words out loud

And let the music break the clouds

 

Hold your head up high

And let your fingers touch the sky

Sing the words out loud

And turn your feelings into sound

 

Time to turn the music on

New music: Only One

Listen to melodic dance music track: Only One

Pushed this to 132bpm and for dance music, it still takes a minute to get rolling. It also went a little longer than I planned. Please enjoy, and I always appreciate feedback. Mixing, mastering (and writing a good song) is challenging – haven’t figured it all out yet.

Put it Down

No More

Lyrics

Only One

 

Sometimes hard to convince you

I won’t try to hard

Never wanted to imply

You could have it all

World’s now hard and colder

Than when you were the one

Things just seemed so simple then

Now difficult to run

 

Everything that you’ve told me

Everything you’ve done

Doesn’t matter where you are

You’re the only one

Who can make things matter

Who can change the sound

All the music to be made

Is in your hands now

 

Everytime you turned around

Everytime you took

Another drink that shook the ground

End everything it could

 

Hey come outside

Everytime it rains in summertime

Hear come outside

Even though it rains in summertime

 

Listen to the silence

The melody is you

Sometimes broken hearted lies

Something to hold to

Thought you’ve heard the story

Hope you understand

Let it run right through you

Come on take my hand

 

Everytime you held it down

And everytime you shook

The cold outside has scarred you now

At least it’s understood

 

Everytime you turned around

Everytime you took

Another drink that shook the ground

End everything it could

 

Hey come outside

Everytime it rains in summertime

Hear come outside

Even though it rains in summertime

Digital marketing needs to clean up its act

(Does) digital marketing need to clean up its act(?)

P&G’s Chief Brand Officer Marc Pritchard said what many digital marketers have been thinking for some time now. “The days of giving digital marketing a pass are over…It’s time to grow up. It’s time for action.” [We don’t] “want to waste time and money on a crappy media supply chain.”

Almost immediately after reading that, I came across an article, 10 Things I Hate About Digital Marketing by Jerry Daykin.  Skeptically, he points out many of the potential pitfalls of digital.

What do you think?

“Digital is all around us and there’s never been a more exciting time in marketing. There’s also never been an easier time to completely waste your advertising budgets. Digital transformation is creating huge new opportunities to reach consumers and drive business objectives. But if you blindly believe everything you read in a marketing headline, or see presented on an event stage, you can easily be led astray.

[You might also like, “What are the Greatest Concerns for Marketers Now?”]

“The digital industry is sadly still full of misinformation, misguided gurus, false perceptions and perhaps even a few deliberate crooks. With so much constant change it’s hard for anyone to keep up. But in general, the traditional rules of marketing all still apply…”

In the same post: “The answer to how much content you need to make is nearly always dependent on how much you can afford to promote to a big enough audience. That’s why content isn’t really king, it’s a democratically elected president which can win hearts & minds only if it has enough of a campaign to get started.”

New music: SOS

Listen to electronic track: “SOS”

Listen to the new melancholy music track – let’s look out for each other out there.

We’ll be back with marketing updates, but let’s take a short break and listen. Enjoy!

Soundcloud:

ReverbNation:

YouTube:

Also listen to Put It Down
Lyrics:

SOS

She was the one who walked alone home almost every night

Who learned to play guitar at home

With braces and an awkward way

Who often wrote songs on her own

 

But as the years passed by her smile slowly wore away

She seemed to have less confidence in all she did

So when their awful words would last until the day would fade

Her tears would reflect blue light from the screen that said

 

You’re all alone

And you’re no one

All alone

 

I’m sending out an SOS

I only hope someone listens

Like an echo from the shore

A wave that sounds no more

 

Remember the day she didn’t show at all

It was another two before they were called out

So many said, “That, yes they made fun but she seemed alright”

The music stops, it all goes by and they play on

 

Yes, they’re someone

They’re playing on

Playing on

 

I’m sending out an SOS

Only hope someone listens

Like an echo from the shore

A wave that sounds no more

 

She’s sending out an SOS

Only hopes that you listen

An echo from the shore

A wave that sounds no more

The Internet: It’s time to talk

On the Internet…

Although this isn’t about digital marketing, we all play in the same sandbox. Walter Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute, has a few thoughts about how we can make the internet a better place for everyone.

The internet is broken. Starting from scratch, here’s how I’d fix it

My big idea is that we have to fix the internet. After forty years, it is corroding, both itself and us. It is still a marvelous and miraculous invention. However, there are bugs in the foundation, bats in the belfry, and trolls in the basement.

This is not a technophobic rant. I am not dissing the Internet for rewiring our brains to give us the twitchy attention span of Donald Trump on Twitter. Or pontificating about how we have to log off and smell the flowers. Qualms about new technologies will always exist (ever since Plato fretted that the technology of writing would threaten memorization and oratory). I love the internet and all of its digital offshoots. What I bemoan is its decline.

There is a bug in its original design. It at first seemed like a feature but has gradually, and now rapidly, been exploited by hackers and trolls and malevolent actors. Its packets are encoded with the address of their destination but not of their authentic origin. With a circuit-switched network, you can track or trace back the origins of the information, but that’s not true with the packet-switched design of the internet.
