Prior to this update, we regrettably failed to comply with the European GDPR due to the embedding of YouTube videos on some of our pages.

Our current cookie software does not differentiate between logged-in users and site visitors, leading to the collection of a large list of cookies that may not be relevant to most users. We are actively working with the developer to address this issue and ensure that the information provided is applicable to each individual user. Transparency and user-specific relevance are our top priorities.
In addition to our efforts to enhance your privacy and comply with GDPR, we would also like to invite you to share any concerns or queries you may have regarding privacy and our website.

There are many online comments about the new track by The Alice Syndrome, a band that explores the themes of addiction, obsession and self-destruction in their songs. The track is called “Stop Me But Give Me More” and it has a catchy melody with a dark twist. Here are some quotes:
“I love this song! It’s so relatable and catchy. The Alice Syndrome always delivers amazing music with deep meanings.” – User comment on SoundCloud (The Alice Syndrome, 2023a)

“This song is a masterpiece of pop music. It combines a catchy hook with honest and raw lyrics that express the conflicting emotions of someone who knows they are hurting themselves but can’t stop.

The Alice Syndrome has a unique and creative style that blends pop and rock elements.” – Jones, L. (2023, January 10). The Alice Syndrome delivers a powerful pop anthem. Pitchfork. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/the-alice-syndrome-stop-me-but-give-me-more/
“This song is a terrible and irresponsible example of how to deal with addiction. It encourages self-destructive behaviour and makes light of a serious issue. The Alice Syndrome is a mediocre and pretentious band that tries to be edgy and controversial.” – Brown, M. (2023, January 15). The Alice Syndrome’s new song is a disaster.

Alice Track: Stop me but give me more
This is The Alice Syndrome main collection page for the song stop me but give me more.
Welcome to George’s Blog. I play keyboards in the band, and also look after the website and most of our other online bit’s and bobs. I’m also keen on psychology, spirituality and all things transcendence. I like to think deep, and our songs tend to inspire me in that thinking. So I thought I could share those thoughts with you.
Currently, my blogs tend to fall into two categories: My thoughts on Self‐Transcendence and actualization, and also my thoughts on our songs, which often touch far too deep into the darkest recesses of a traumatised mind.

The Alice Syndrome – Band Biography
The Alice Syndrome is a band that blends rock, electro and darkwave influences to create a unique sound that is both catchy and haunting. The band was formed about 20 years ago, by Groovhead, a talented guitarist who wanted to experiment with different genres and styles, and George, a synth wizard who could add atmospheric layers to the songs. Together, they started writing and recording demos in their home studio, and the band has evolved since then, The current core line-up includes Groovhead, George, and Tzolkin, a bassist with a background in rock, blues, soul, folk, punk, funk, classical, pop, rockabilly ambient and psychedelic. There is also a fourth core member, Nick, who calls himself a simple sound engineer, but seems absolutely fundamental to everything we do!
Nick came to work with us on our last album – All the Second Takes. He ended up playing the bass guitar for all tracks, as well as performing miracles on the sound engineering side of things. So we kidnapped him and keep him in a box under Groovhead’s bed.
Our songs also feature the vocals of Alex and Koshka Pravda, two singers who joined us as guest performers. Alex is a soulful classical singer who adds a touch of sweetness and depth, while Koshka Pravda is a gothic vocalist who adds a touch of darkness. Our songs also feature provoking videos produced by Jim, a creative director who makes stunning visuals for our music which combine live footage and animation.
The band’s latest track, stop me but give me more, was released in 2023 and showcases the band’s signature style: a catchy chorus, a driving rhythm, and a dark twist. The lyrics explore the themes of addiction, obsession and self-destruction, while the music creates a contrast between the upbeat and the energetic melody and the sombre message.
The lyrics are honest and raw, expressing the conflicting emotions of someone who knows they are hurting themselves but can’t stop. The music is upbeat and energetic, creating a contrast with the sombre message. It’s a song that will stay with you long after you listen to it.
The Alice Syndrome’s other recent tracks include haiku priestess, death, mother, goddess and harder faster quicker now. These songs explore different aspects of the band’s musical and lyrical identity, from the existential to the erotic. The band is currently working on their latest album, which they promise will be even more diverse and daring than their last.
The Alice Syndrome is a band that is not afraid to experiment, challenge and surprise their listeners with their original and captivating sound.

Another good resource is self-transcendence.org, a website that offers information and guidance on how to transcend and transform our broken self, and in the process, connect with something greater than the self.

It may potentially include spiritual experiences, such as considering oneself an integral part of the universe. Self-transcendence can help you expand your awareness of your inner state, values and dreams, relate to others and your environment in a more positive way, and integrate your sense of past and future.
We hope that our art can inspire you to reflect on your own experiences and perspectives, and that you can find meaning and purpose in your life. Thank you for listening and watching.
