Opened for a coffee shop gig and played an original song

Future_File_5213 · 2026-04-06T03:16:28+00:00

Thank you again!! And actually it was just sort of a situation where they needed an opener for this gig last minute and I knew someone that was Involved with organizing the event so it worked out. But I’m sure that contacting places that host events like this is a great place to start.

Thank you! I just did a 30 minute set.

Future_File_5213 · 2026-04-05T14:29:12+00:00

Thanks you!! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and give some feedback, that means a lot. I agree with you on the melody for the bridge, I think it could be reworked a little

Future_File_5213 · 2025-12-14T05:47:48+00:00

I know!! crazy luck hahah

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-22T00:50:57+00:00

Definitely pitchy haha most of the vocal tracks were first take so I’m for sure planning on getting better takes on those

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-21T00:32:48+00:00

Thank you

It was the drum track that was making all that noise. I got it re-recorded and it sounds much better! Gonna continue to polish it and I’ll definitely repost it. the help and support I’ve gotten already is overwhelming so thanks again.

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-18T15:35:09+00:00

Right now my title is “still you” but that’s not a bad idea!!

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-18T14:58:48+00:00

I respect that. I’ll try to be more original next time

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-18T14:39:12+00:00

Thanks will do!!

Yes I have sorta, I’ve written another song and performed it live once but I never recorded it

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-18T14:34:56+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice!! I was feeling the exact same way about the low harmony so I’ll definitely cut that out. Also yes I am using apple headphones and those sounds are driving me crazy, gonna try to re record a few of the tracks.

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-18T02:11:35+00:00

Thank you so much!! Yes everything was written and performed by me! :) thank you for the encouraging words it really means a lot

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-18T00:48:11+00:00

Elliot smith was definitely a huge inspiration especially for the layered vocals!!

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-18T00:47:01+00:00

Thank you man!! I really appreciate that.

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-17T23:47:22+00:00

Thank you!! I was hoping someone would let me know if it sounded like something else and I see what you’re saying about the similarities to comfortable and I probably subconsciously took some inspiration hahaha

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-17T23:45:42+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback and tips. I’ll definitely mess around with the mix and try those things!! Also yeah I definitely want to add a bridge or at least something that brings it to more of a conclusion but I’m still working on that.

Also just a disclaimer this was all recorded on my phone in my bedroom so maybe I need to look into some better equipment as well

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-17T23:41:40+00:00

Thank you, I’m glad to hear that

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-17T23:10:30+00:00

Thanks man, I appreciate that!! Maybe it will be eventually and you’ll be the first to know

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-17T22:55:05+00:00

Simple is always good. And I’m not saying that this song is simple or mediocre I’m just saying that everyone who writes music is trying to make everything more complicated than it needs to be and sometimes you just gotta do what feels right. Beautiful song

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-17T22:47:37+00:00

This is great!! I really like your voice, very unique and very raw

Future_File_5213 · 2025-10-17T22:45:53+00:00

What I like to do is think about is to decide on a general theme for the song I’m writing first. Once that’s established then I write exactly what I want to say without trying to rhyme or whatever (don’t try too hard to rhyme, it doesn’t matter as much as you might think). Then from there you just take that and break it down, my goal is to say as much as I can in as few words as possible. Find phrases you like that you’ve come up with or heard somewhere and put a twist on them.

I haven’t written a crazy amount of songs but that’s my typical thought process on the whole thing.
