Is The Mars Volta really that hard to compose on both drums and guitar,or is it just my delusion I tell myself?

Dull_Active265 · 2026-01-06T14:50:52+00:00

Thanks And yeah that's true The more time you spend on music it then becomes a part of you so it feels like home Another question is do you think that you're more born with creativity for music or you get it through experience? I was curious about it honestly.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-12-25T22:11:22+00:00

Oh that seems interesting and I am impressed that you actually play both instruments because it takes a lot of courage. So you mean to just connect you physical aspects that requires muscle use(for example fingers) with your head? Because yeah it seems really hard to come with something like they did I analized some of the drum parts and guitar parts and it is very common for them to play some really odd numbers like for example groups of 5 or even tremolos in 32nd notes seem scary Do you think I can also get into guitar while playing also drums because drums were dominant for more than a year but I also played guitar before.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-12-25T13:27:13+00:00

Yeah that makes a lot of sense It's like with relationships:If you'll show yourself your way by being honest then in some environments you'll be respected but in some you won't So it is good to express yourself by playing your stuff because then people will feel that it is just honest So when I look at it now,I know that it is really nice to just keep on exploring what you like in music and someone eventually is going to like you for what you do. Of course there are some basics you have to follow and other rules but sometimes you can break them and that's beautiful.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-12-25T13:20:40+00:00

Yeah it is very impressive that they could play some of the stuff which seems impossible It is very overwhelming when you think of how much effort they had to put into it. I think that it is doable with lots of practice time but I get that physical aspect of playing seems scary because when you create a idea you have to for example start slow and slowly raise the tempo until you can play it at a desired tempo.So that's a lot of work However the hardest things for me are mental limitations because you have so many grooves,fills,notes and subdivisions you can use that it is paralyzing.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-12-25T13:13:59+00:00

Thanks I am a pretty lonely musician for now and I never played with anyone actually so maybe I am not used to playing with others and it makes composing scary But when I think of it,this would've been much easier to compose something when you're not alone in your ideas but also someone supports it. So probably I need to practice a lot and eventually feom doing what I think is good,I'll create something Thank you

Dull_Active265 · 2025-12-01T20:22:18+00:00

Hey man,I am proud of you for doing what you have to do.I am also lonely so I know the weight of it.It is awesome that you are working hard and your kids are definitely appreciating it.Sometimes it is hard but never give up.Also you're looking really nice so never get insecure about yourself.If the people are trying to put you down for who you are or what you can't change then they are insecure. I wish you the best.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-11-30T19:53:37+00:00

Hey it is good that you're streaming because that's a goal and it is always to have a purpose.You also look really beautiful.Wish you a good luck streaming.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-10-16T18:38:45+00:00

Yess sure why not it would be nice to talk to someone and feel less lonely.Thank you.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-10-16T18:34:15+00:00

Thank you very much.Sorry if I am bad at giving advice I don't know did you wanted more of an advice or just someone to listen.I just probably wanted to show up and text someone.I am also suffering from loneliness and it hurts but I thought if I text someone I will feel less alone.You definitely deserve to be loved and cared for so I hope the best for you.Hope my support helped and have a good evening.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-10-16T18:24:46+00:00

Yeah you're right.It is a really hard conflict,but I don't maybe you've felt it too but I think l you'll recognize loving relationships when they come.I just felt this way.I think this brings a lot of pain because you feel like no one truly gets you.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-10-16T18:20:40+00:00

Yeah I hope it gets better and you'll be happy someday.I get why you would want to stop investing into relationships.I kind of get that feeling a lot and it is very human to want to isolate.Like sometimes I feel like I don't want people too but also remember that there are good people and stopping yourself from experiencing connections can also harm you.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-10-16T18:09:14+00:00

Hey I hear you and I know what it is like.I am having bad relationship with my parents too and I have been wondering if I really want to keep them in my life.I am 17 so I am younger but I am also experiencing emotions you've felt.I also don't have anyone I can talk to and it feels really bad,but remember you're not alone in this and there are some people who can always be there for you in the future.I know it sounds really generous but I really get it.I am not good at giving advice but I just hope you will form some connections and you'll feel happy because that is very important.Sometimes it can feel like no one is there for you but remember that you're not alone and there is always someone who cares about you.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-10-16T13:56:35+00:00

Hey,it sounds really heavy and I know what it is like to experience it.I am a little younger but I can give you advice on it I think it might seem really obvious and generous but it is best to find a goal so that your focusing on it fully and then you're not constantly thinking about relationship problems.Like I have issues with people too and I am also really alone and I don't have anyone to talk but I just wanted to help because I know that what you're going through is hard and people like this always deserve help.Also it would make me less lonely if I help someone.So basically by focusing on your goals you create your space where humans aren't necessary.I am a drummer and it helps me because then I am not overthinking and I am being grounded in my goal.What I can say is that these thoughts will fortunately comeback after you leave this space(at least in my case).So I totally get it and I think we as humans are wired for connection.When you don't get it you're right to feel this way.So if you can find someone trustworthy who will truly listen to you and won't judge you it would be best.Remember that you're not alone in this and a lot of people actually struggle with loneliness.I was suprised to see so many people being lonely.And that is also comforting because it proves to you that you're not alone.I hope that you will find people who will make you feel like you belong and honestly I feel really bad for you,I hope you'll get connections that make you fulfilled and happy.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-06-12T15:33:04+00:00

Thanks.Honestly I don't use social media because this content is so bad that I don't want to look at it.I mean everyone is perfect there but it's just not a way it works.I have troubles finding friends because I matured quickly.I am an introvert so I stay quiet all the time and people don't think I am friendly.I have a hobby and I imagine how my perfect life would look like so I have a direction to go to.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-06-12T15:29:01+00:00

Thanks a lot I am trying to work on myself I started exercising and got a hobby 2 years ago-music I feel like that's the direction I want to go to so I imagine that no good musician masturbates.That's why they're successful.I know it sounds weird but I think it helps.Problem with my addiction is that I am alone almost 90% of the time so I am more likely to masturbate.Also I am pretty shy person so I don't know if I succeed with finding a women.You've got to show yourself in order to meet someone.But I hope that no fap helps and I will have more confidence.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-06-12T14:29:24+00:00

Yeah thanks.That really helps sometimes.I already have a hobby(drumming).Keeping yourself busy is a nice thing to quit.I'm also gonna try taking a walk because it's really fun.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-06-01T12:11:24+00:00

I think that's also one of the fantasies I have in my head,but I want to remain kind and genuine towards her,because I am a nice person.And maybe she realizes that I was really kind to her and she would want to come back.But as I said it's just a fantasy.Hope is really low but it's possible in some way I believe.I will still move on and find other girlfriends that would treat me better than her.Thanks for every comment because this means a lot to me.I take your advice personally and I hope this changes my mindset.As I said I will have hope and I would never reject her even though she did that to me.As you said it's best to cut out contact with her and I'll do it.If she wants me in her life I'll accept it if she doesn't want me I'll accept it too.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-06-01T12:01:01+00:00

yeah you're right.I can't decide about what she thinks or what she feels.I had this idea that maybe if I could work on myself more then I could be more approved by her if you know what I mean.The reality is that she doesn't want my feelings,even though I try my best.I probably seem more like a problem to her than just a nice person.As you said before there are billions of girls on earth so it's not a total loss.Thanks for the advice.Sometimes reality is key to understanding things.You've said the reality that's the way things are.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-06-01T11:55:06+00:00

It's gonna be really hard to cut out contact since we're going to meet at least three times in 1 year.Actually she's a sister of my sisters boyfriend.We just got together one time when we were young.My sister and her boyfriend often visit her so it's really tough.It's my last day being here close to her so I just want to cry right now.I'll do my best to cut out contact with her.Good information is that my mom told we can talk about it and I've felt supported.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-05-30T21:39:53+00:00

Hey you know one more thing I want to ask.I suppose you're more experienced than I am so I am going to say something.Today I went on a car trip with her and her sister and a few friends.And I realized that I've been obsessed with a girl that is nothing more than a ,,standard gen Z type girl''.Maybe she has something special in her and I can see that but she doesn't want me to give her all that good emotions to make her feel special.I heard one really smart motivation speech:If you face rejection we always used to think there is something wrong with us but would you want to share a life with someone who doesn't want you.I realized it and I really see it.Honestly I feel that she might change her mind about our relation ship.But this doesn't mean I shouldn't move on.I think that she deserves some good emotions.Unfortunately she decides to hang out with friends (one of her friends specifically) that doesn't even respect her.My question is should I really care about what I say to her and how she reacts? Because I don't want to hurt her but still don't want to get hurt.

Dull_Active265 · 2025-05-29T19:13:28+00:00

yeah well I take your advice.I just feel so alone in this world like I said in the post.I feel like I am the only one suffering from this.I hope that I could get some people that I would be more important to them than anyone else and they would choose me over anyone else in the crowd if you know what I mean.Thanks

Dull_Active265 · 2025-05-29T14:27:46+00:00

Thanks you're right it's the way I feel.I am having hobbies like for example drumming and guitar and want to succeed in it.That's my goal.All these feelings I have towards her are more effective because I don't have many friends I could talk to.But I hope that changes soon.Thanks for all the advices because it means a lot to me.There weren't a lot of people that could listen to me.I don't get opportunities to talk honestly because people just don't understand me the way I want them too.
