    Crazy isn't it, the endorphin rush you get when you create something that really gets you ticking. It such a simple thing but so pleasing you suddenly resort to having the excitement of a child hahah. I would not exchange that feeling alone for the world. That endorphin rush is what makes being creative worth it. That moment of release makes you realise that perhaps your problems and burdens are not quite as bad you think.

    I think that production youtube needs to get more focused on showing the process of actually making music like this (and what I've been aiming more towards lately, as well) instead of tutorials.
    This was great. Well done. Keep it up!

      Hearing that from you means the world! I've learned so much from your channel, especially the concept of "Produce as if mixing weren't a thing". Truly life changing, means a ton that one of my videos made it your way. Much love brother!

    I just noticed the date on your menu bar. You did this all yesterday and uploaded it within 24 hours.
    One thing I enjoy about your videos is you lead by example on making something good and not taking a long time to share it. You still experiment and get surprised because you’re not holding on to some rigid vision, which makes the process of music creation seem actually enjoyable? 🧐. This is something I’m looking to get better at.
    I appreciate your work!

    I’m glad you picked up on the lyric idea of just being in a different place and not knowing what to write. As soon as you mentioned your difficulties with lyrics and explained why, it jsut clicked that that’s what you need to write about. Honestly, happens with creatives more than we notice. Just have to talk out what’s on our mind sometimes and the answer comes out

    I can relate with the whole coming up with lyrics. I got the same problems. It was way easier for me to write about my mental health or ex girlfriends. But now I’m in a point of life where I’m very happy and I just don’t know what to write anymore. I thought I was the only one. Love your videos!❤

      I think you guys should try and write about more abstract things/try and make things that are seemingly not abstract at all e.g going for a walk in the park into something very abstract and psychedelic, because then it’s relatable and it also can make you think more deeply into the things you do on a day yo day basis

    I feel the exact same way about writing songs, I’m 28 now and my music always came from a place of depression. Thankfully I don’t deal with those same mental health issues as much as I used to but it definitely makes songwriting a lot different. Nice to know I’m not the only one out here that feels that way.
    Great song and video!
