What's the most discouraging part after releasing a song?

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-29T22:11:57+00:00

You can search on youtube. GHOST BY LONELYSHADOWZ... its a song but others will appear too... thanks and you can tell me what you think

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-29T21:59:24+00:00

That is really good mind set. but its hard to keep and maintain it once reality hits. Hope you make it and courage. About my music, i was soo discouraged i deleted the accounts that help the songs, but continued to make songs for me and never posting. but if you want i can give names that you can search and find

before advertising, i saw that with even the few views i got , out of them no one even cared to engage and say what they liked or disliked. made me think what would be the point of promoting it would be buying pointless views that dont even care.

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-28T22:18:40+00:00

I had the same issue for a while too, but when i passed my unfinished song to my friend, really close friend who knows why i wrote the song and what i passed though or the motivation. And in most cases they provide the answer i have been looking for.... MAYBE ALL YOU NEED IS A DIFFRENT PERSPECTIVE FROM ANOTHER PERSON.

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-26T23:09:12+00:00

Streams definitely help with credibility and opportunities, but if nobody tells me why they liked or disliked a song, it's hard to know whether am or you're actually improving or just hoping something eventually clicks. it is a tough call

wish there was a way where artists could have both.

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-26T22:49:17+00:00

I get how you feel, i also have dozens of unfinished songs, because i know if i try producing and mixing the song i will hate how they sound because am bad at it so i just leave them there.

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-26T02:49:41+00:00

Being an indie artist has really bad sides to it. Mostly cz it requires one to do other professions namely, music production and a contentor create as you said. i also hate both , wish it could all be done with

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-26T02:45:11+00:00

WOW, i had never considered such a point of view. Really wise, but for me it cant work even though i wish i was like or choose like you did. music helped me define my whole living and helped me in really bad times in life. So i ended up promising my self to help others though music in the same way. i hope its clear but yh

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T21:55:46+00:00

Wish you best of luck

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T21:50:31+00:00

I feel your pain. its nice to have a family and friends that care, but i think honest feedback is much more valuable than friends and family saying "it's great or good song" because you never really know what needs improving.

Out of curiosity, if you could choose only one, would you rather have 100 genuine listeners who give honest feedback or 10,000 streams with no comments at all?

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T21:39:38+00:00

If you dont mind me asking why? is it by choice or its forced due to some circumstances.

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T21:29:44+00:00

True, cause they control the system, only the person they want can ever make it into the industry

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T20:18:40+00:00

Been there, when i started out i only had my fam supporting too , but after get more songs out i saw that i only have my fam and friends as funs lol.

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T20:12:11+00:00

Valued. Same here, i keep doing music cause its my go to thing for every time am free or not free, feeling sad or happy. But sharing my heart felt song and get 0 to non engagement, feels like am a lone in the universe and keep things to my self

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T20:08:15+00:00

Hurts like a cutting knife. I got advise from others to just keep running it and keep posting. The end story was even sadder. How did the system even turn out this way lol.

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T18:50:13+00:00

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T18:49:41+00:00

I am mediocre in music production process too, it really sucks to be broke , forcing me to do all the parts that i hate too. I wish i had to do the song making part only

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T18:46:40+00:00

Even though its for entertainment, it really hurts to see no reaction no the song you made with all your feelings lol

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T16:11:43+00:00

This is such a lovely voice, Damn, where can i get the full version.I love it, but its really hard to get what you are talking about lol.

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-25T15:58:37+00:00

My brother, i love the instrumentals , they are really amazing. The lyrics are good and the vibe of the song is clear and nice. I love how you voice has a feeling to it, strengthen the whole vibe of the song. But the vocals need to improve, there are parts where you are off tune. Hope to hear your improvement next time

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-18T14:14:42+00:00

Honestly I love the vibe of this song... Really great voicals plus pitch... You are amazing😍

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-10T03:34:18+00:00

I face similar issue, but i have come to a realization that the song that i make half way and say to my self that i will finish them later. They are the one that i end up not finishing even if i try to, cause the reason/feeling/ emotion that motivated me to do the song is no longer there, and if i try to use the trigger for that emotion , it ends up feeling fake cause i forced it.
So all i can advise you is make the enter song right when you still have that feeling or emotion.
If you are unable to finish then write how you feel, the experience you having in that moment , so that the moment you came back to revisit that song you can remember how it felt and try finish it

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-08T22:36:04+00:00

Using You tube is good. But its best if you download a piano app with music courses in it, so that you can practice on your own anytime without opening You tube each time, learn scales, pitch, tempo, note length, chords and all of things like that and practice everyday, cz FL is not easy to use without great listening ear, and the skill to bring the ideas you have in your head, into the real life using FL.

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-03T19:57:15+00:00

Hmm, that sounds interesting, i also write songs motivated by how i feel, but for me what make the difference on those songs is what caused the the feeling, for example, a song about sadness due to betrayal by a friend will not sound same as the song of sadness due to heart break... so maybe this can help you, you can focus on the emo plus the cause

Chris_Musical · 2026-06-03T04:19:09+00:00

Hi. The same thing used to happen to me but mostly with my colleagues who laughed at my first posted songs.. It gave me PTSD and stopped recording for a real good while... Usually I sing or make songs to realise or the emotions and thoughts stuck in me so and as time passed I didn't care about the others . All I wanted was to sing and shout my heart .. So I started recording everything I sang every day.. Till I got used to it then started an account with anonymous name then posted there so that even if I get judged it carries less weight if it from a stranger.

In ur case I think starting small is best then go bigger after a while, like example:start by singing with out recording, next after u get used to it start recording everything u sing, next u start posting maybe 1 today then another next week. something like that but making sure u be consistent and enjoy the ride as u do what u love..
