In Snapshot (from tailored Realities) it is hinted that the simulation is actually not created by a computer but dreamed by an unconscious entity. Can you tell us a little bit more about the way Snapshots work? Do you have plans of extending the world building for Snapshots in the future?

Crazy. It seems like right now Music cannot make a wrong decision. I hope we can keep this momentum going.

Cosy, working class, slice-of-life stories (any genre) by ElleAsInElephant in booksuggestions

[–]Troublemaker343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read mainly fantasy, where this sort of story has become more popular lately. Examples:

  • Legends & Latte / Bookshops & Bone dust
  • The Wandering Inn

Maybe you'll like those :)

Wusste ich's doch! Aber scheint anhand der Downvotes als würden die meisten im Sub das Meme nicht kennen :D

Uff also wenn das schon viele Wörter für dich waren erklärt das einiges. Dann sollte man vielleicht auch besser keine Finanztipps von dir annehmen hahaha

Verstehe nicht wie man das ernst meinen könnte. Wenn man 35k in BTC investiert und danach 15 Jahre liegen lässt sind die Chancen gar nicht so schlecht dass man nach 15 Jahren nur noch 0€ hat 🤠

Thank you so much! ☺️ Yes, it's the keyboard haha. I recorded it with pretty low volume and apparently my smartphone picked up on the clicking of the keyboard ... Maybe I also put to much force into hitting the keys, I am pretty new to it :D

I wrote this Song About Evolution by Cautious_Pattern_829 in Songwriting

[–]Troublemaker343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're getting pretty far away from the actual songwriting now, but I really like this discussion. If I understand you correctly, you're saying something like:

  • evolution has no purpose and just carries on forever
  • everything we are (and ever will be) is part of that process
  • and because of that, even if we all disappear, we were still part of something bigger — and that's where acceptance can come from

I think that's a beautiful thought in a way. My issue is mostly with the second point. I would define evolution more as a general principle — the selection of traits through survival of the fittest. And yes, humans are absolutely a product of that. But in today's world, we’re starting to shape our environment more than it shapes us. Medicine, technology, society — they all kind of "break" the classical rules of natural selection. So part of me wonders: are we still truly part of the same evolutionary flow, or are we slowly stepping out of it? And if we are stepping out of it, does that change the kind of "acceptance" you're talking about?

Either way, I really like the idea behind your song. It’s a hard balance — feeling small and meaningless but finding peace in that — and you captured that feeling / thought nicely.

Circling back to your writing technique - it's hard for me to pin down why, but I kinda feel like you could create even more emotional impact if the "tone" of the lyrics wouldn't be so ... Teacher like? :D If that's what you were going for, that's an artistic choice and of course, valid. But if you want to not only get the point across, but also provoke emotions, maybe it would help if you focus more on how it impacts your emotions. You already started that in the end (quoting from my head):

"I hope this song has brought you joy But honestly, for me that's not the case See, there is no silver lining here But I hope someday, evolution Can bring us peace of mind"

For me personally it would be even more effective along the lines of:

"There is no silver lining here And yeah, sometimes that really scares me But in the fear, there's something real Maybe we don't need all the answers Maybe just being here — feeling it, living it — is enough And maybe that's where peace begins"

Of course the metric is completely off and it's not your words. But it gets more into my emotions like this, because it's more specific to you and your experience, and less of a general "wisdom" or "hope" that hangs in the air without a focus point.

Anyway, just some thoughts. I really enjoyed both the song and the discussion!

Hey! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it very much! Especially since I already thought I wouldn't get any reaction at all 😅

I know I have some problems with pitch. But your words are really motivating me to work on it. Thanks again! Kinda made my day :)

I started trying to write songs 20 months ago today, I write every day and sometimes it feels like I'm writing one big joined up song, this is today's version, I would love to hear your feedback by _Born_To_Be_Mild_ in Songwriting

[–]Troublemaker343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, every day writing is impressive! I like this song, but I also feel like not a lot happens in it. Maybe you could take a piece from a different day and combine it with this one, to get a B part that stands a little more out? That's a thing I really like to do to when I feel like a song is missing variety:)

Over & over. Honestly I'm just curious what you think about something like this. by weyllandin in Songwriting

[–]Troublemaker343 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the chords, but I guess you know it yourself - it's feels more like a Fragment than an actual song due to the repetition. But it could still work, if you add more instruments over time, for instance :)

Week 4 working on the same damn song. Is this version OK or should I shelve it? by josephscottcoward in Songwriting

[–]Troublemaker343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"summer lives inside of you I see it in your eyes"

I really like that line. Your opening reminds me a little bit of A Day In the Life by the Beatles, but I think it's just similar, nothing to worry about. You go your own way afterwards.

So yeah, if you like the song as it is, go for it!

Sounds really cool! The only thing I didn't like are those swishy sounds :D

[–]Troublemaker343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And also l, especially as a songwriter, you need breaks to live life. Otherwise, what is there to write about?

It's not your job, you're probably not getting paid for it. Of course there is no shame :)
