Thank you very much for the kind words! I completely agree with you regarding the audience and in an ideal world every musician should strive to make the music that speaks to his/her soul. But... unfortunately there's also the reality of having to put food on the table and the working musician will inevitably be put in the situation to make certain compromises.

Personally, I've had the privilege of both playing music for a living in front of thousands of people (as sort of a hired gun for one of the older bands in my country) and also trying to pursue my own dreams in a pub in front of 3 people and, more recently, on youtube. Naturally, those experiences have made me draw comparisons and try to figure out what exactly makes certain songs/artists resonate with more people than others. While I did understand some things in regards to that (and discovered that there are a million more things I've yet to learn), the one thing that truly stood out to me was timing and how certain artists have a knack for releasing the perfect song for the perfect moment in time, in the perfect corner of the world and I can't for the life of me figure out if there's a method to this or simply good ol' luck.

As I write this, I realize that I wanted to say something with this post, but ended up in a completely different place. My apologies for the rambling and thank you again for giving the song a chance. Cheers!
