The Colourbox Music, now on Youtube. Woohoo

I've found that hosting my stuff on Soundcloud is ok but it tends to only be other musicians on there or bots spamming me. I don't really get any listens. The sound quality seems better on there so that's nice, but  thought putting my stuff on youtube might be a good idea to see if anybody else might get to hear it. So far that's not going very well but there we go

Linking to my channel page doesn't seem to work, so here's one song, if you don't die of indifference on this one you can click through to others via the channel:
I know the videos are rubbish, ie I just went into Clipchamp and looped stock video with some text on the front and the sound quality isn't as good as the original files, but hopefully it might get a few views at some point and see if anybody else likes my miserable grooveless reverb soaked dirges

EDIT: Removed as it wasn't really working for me so just usual vanity posting

Non working link for me? I was hoping for some grooveless reverb soaked dirges to cook by.

Oh that's annoying. I was pasting a link and it was bringing up a blank video screen when I posted it, so tried to do it via the "add link" thing which then didn't work. Grrr.

I'll pick a song to link to in the first post then if that one isn't enough for you to die of boredom then you can click through to the "channel" from there

I hope I don't ruin your evening

I keep trying to give the tracks more than just a cursory listen but doesn't seem to be happening yet. Anyway, certainly underselling yourself. 

As a whole you do probably gravitate toward similar tempos and those doleful reverby moments but maybe think of that as a style rather than as a negative and you have a few different approaches to arrangement across the tracks so it's not as if they merge into one. 
I was thinking hints of Leonard Cohen on the original track posted above (although probably need to smoke 20 fags a day for 10 years to sound more like him) and then there's a Cohen cover on your channel. Although I'm guessing yours is more based on the Buckley version. But I don't think that's terrible company. 
Now the link is working hopefully a few more people will have a listen.

I really like that!

Thank you both for listening and for kind comments. 

I think I'm overly aware of my very limited palette of styles due to my limitations of my voice and not being suitable for faster music. Also my very limited production skills, think of them as over thought demos I guess

Also that I'm quite a miserable person generally so that's why my music reflects that, I don't like happy music very much and wouldn't have a clue how to even start writing something happy or fast.

Thank you for listening!
