The Trouble with Our World – banned by YouTube

[Bajan Blue]

Today we have launched the third track off our new Kiss of Storms album.

It’s called The Trouble with Our World.

Initially when we posted this up on YouTube, they blocked it – apparently inappropriate content!!

So we had to appeal this and eventually they posted it – honestly YouTube is getting ridiculous!

Hope you enjoy it.

You can see the lyrics here

And the whole album is available on Spotify

We’ve updated our website as well – we’ve got our own store now where you can get music and merchandise!!

It's probably AI that's deciding to ban your videos. Another great song that's recorded mixed very well.

This is one of my favorites .. a real message here with a smooth mix . great stuff ? ( PS it's a great track full blast while driving ?)

Stay well Nigel&Crew

I don't see why the video would be banned on YT. Probably was decided by some robotic filter of theirs.  Anyway, just another well polished and produced video from Divine Lie. Very well done!  

Sad to say I thought those were clips of Portland, Oregon from a couple of years ago.

Did they ever attempt anything that resembled an explanation of what they considered inappropriate content?  Did they think you were advocating violence against the police?  I can easily see an algorithm that had certain images being flagged by fake intelligence.

Great song, Nigel and and a great mix and video as always. Really like the way the progression evolves. Don't get me started on youtube.

Hi KS

Yes I'm sure it is something like that - but the appeal procedure takes a while and is a real PITA!

Thanks for the very kind comments, really appreciated

Cheers

Yes I did enjoy it, very rich. I liked that you slowed/quieted down at times for the contrast. Thanks for the lyrics I think I heard some not on the post ? Very well done, good luck with all your endeavors!

I tried uploading a song I had written and performed and YT banned it for copyright violations! This was way before AI got inside the door.

Beautiful mix and very important message, Nigel!
Well done!

[FreeEarCandy]

You put together some really fine work. Music. Video. Message. All top shelf.  Yeah. The YT conundrum. I have mixed feelings. Free speech  is paramount, but so too private property. I don't need the hassle, so I don't post my private property on their private property. Problem solved for me. The world is a complicated place, and it becomes even more complicated when emotions are high. But history has show us that in order to defeat a monster one has to become a bigger monster. Hence the monster is never really defeated. It just passes the baton to the next runner up in humanities relay race to hell.  Seems almost like a cosmic game of whack a mole. The gods are laughing at us all, brother.  I don't have any answers that are appealing other than try not to get run over by it all.

 

Best wishes Nigel. Peace!
