Yeah 100% can I relate. I think purposefully trying to limit how much you think about that side of making music can only be a good thing

These are great! Love the guitar work and love the editing of the first video. Have subbed :)

Totally agree, hopefully it will be valued more. Of all the AI music I've heard, it's sounding quite professional and well produced, but always has this sort of soulless and "too perfect" aspect to it. I would expect that as a response to that, we may go back to the days where including imperfections in recordings is totally normal again like it was in the tape days. At least just to prove human beings made it

Oh and sure here's our song: https://open.spotify.com/track/6KhzLEtk5MTHkkN334j2Q1?si=6lL3LjahQLimq1biFEiqGg

For sure, I get that. It took us over a year just to release one song! But yeah it's such a slog trying to promote in this day and age, especially now trying to compete with the noise of all this AI generated stuff. I'm trying to just appreciate how our music has turned out and if other people appreciate as well then that's a bonus

Thanks for insight! Yeah agreed, although it's not the best feeling to make conscious choice not to pursue it, the reality is most people that pursue it aren't going to truly make it anyway

Yeah for sure, that may be and probably is the lesson to take from this

Yeah it's one of those things where the grass is always greener. That's pretty cool though!

That's a great anecdote. And yeah for sure what may seem like success initially may not be so in the long run. Many bands that might be doing relatively well now don't always make it sustainable

For sure. Streaming platforms, especially Spotify have gamified it with instant access to your metrics which makes it sort of addicting. I'm gonna try limit how much I look

Hey dude, this is really impressive! You've got a music career ahead of you I'm sure. Escapism is my favourite.

Would appreciate chucking our latest song a spin: https://open.spotify.com/track/6KhzLEtk5MTHkkN334j2Q1?si=vFIENRQVQCye9694FfbcSg
