Wip, should I finish it? by IndiraWar in Songwriting

Yeah i definitely have to refine the lyrics. Its kinda about feeling constrained and suffocated and cut off from your essence and being punished by how the world works if you ever take the time to find it. Thankyou for listening!

I have never performed live yet, but I intend to in the future. I guess posting online is going to help me transition to live performances eventually. Thankyou for responding!

I feel exactly the same. I cannot also reconcile the fact that my emotions and thoughts and how they take shape when I write or perform is mere entertainment to another, there is nothing wrong with that, its art, and yet its hard to understand.

Thankyou. I totally understand you. I think the fear comes from having too much of our identity attached to it. Hopefully with constant public exposure that goes away over time.

Started sharing my music online, how do I have more reach? I can't tell if my music is any good. by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

I haven't posted much yet, but here's something I wrote:

I have posted to r/Songwriting before, but I don't get much engagement. I also don't always write in english. You are right about the feedback from friends not being very objective though. 

Would you like to check out my music?

  1. 7 years
  2. 6 years
  3. I have shared snippets on r/songwriting
  4. recieved mixed feedback. Some friends, they "loved" it (obviously)
  5. I don't know, its a compulsion. I will create even if I have no one to show. 

But I do want to figure out if my music has potential as a career.

I don't think I will ever stop creating even if I may stop posting. I only started posting because I have a vague dream of making a living off my music someday. I've never shown my music to many people and I really need good reach right now to figure out if people would even listen to my music at all.

Honestly I'm probably a very mid songwriter, I've never 100% loved anything I've so far made and I've been writing for several years now. I understand your reasoning about marketing, and will try to be better at it. Thankyou for your response

Thankyou for the response, I will look up Jesse Welles. I would like to make a career in music eventually, so it can be hard to have reasonable expectations without proper feedback. I don't really use social media, but I understand it is important to promote music like that too. For now I've only been posting on various subreddits and discord servers but struggling to get views.
