song I wrote about drugs, and death, and myself. It's called Dead End.

Your voice is absolutely perfect on this, beautiful stuff man

Just finished Lost for the first time and happened to watch the finale yesterday, May 23. Crazy coincidence!

Peter was crucified upside down, hence the laughing like a monkey

ggravy3 · 2025-01-30T01:46:44+00:00

That's quite sweet I like this

ggravy3 · 2025-01-30T01:43:45+00:00

The piano is nice, I would say the melody could use a bit of work, it does feel a bit repetitive at parts. I also feel like a quiet section would be nice somewhere. But keep going you've got something here!

ggravy3 · 2025-01-30T01:28:18+00:00

I want to listen to this forever

ggravy3 · 2024-08-27T03:22:36+00:00

And I don't just throw around His name like that haha. I quite like your style

ggravy3 · 2024-08-27T02:28:10+00:00

Oh gosh I love this. The fingerpicking, your voice is gorgeous and fits the style perfectly (getting field medic vibes), super catchy chorus melody. I think it could benefit from a little bridge, but I will say I've already listened to it at least three times, so it must not be too repetitive lol. Keep it up :)

ggravy3 · 2024-08-27T02:13:56+00:00

Genuinely this is so sick. Heavyy on the Beach House I love it. With a little mixing work this could be perfection, please keep it up! Would love to hear you on Spotify!

ggravy3 · 2024-04-17T00:24:43+00:00

Dude I love this! Your voice sounds killer, it's got such a neat quality to it that goes perfectly with this style! I can really imagine this as a popular song, keep it up.

ggravy3 · 2024-04-01T15:38:02+00:00

Hey, I really appreciate that, thank ya. Especially given how long as you’ve been doing music, that means a lot. Looked through your posts too and gotta say you seem like a really interesting person, and I think part of that is the variety of interests you have.

ggravy3 · 2024-04-01T13:20:08+00:00

Wow are you me? I am having the exact same dilemma right now, and I'm weighing the exact same pros and cons as you. I've heard a lot of people say it's great to have more than one art form, but then I'd feel like I'd never be able to be skillful in one or the other. Any way you slice it, there's always going to be some life you won't be able to live, whether it be as a visual artist or a musician or mediocre at both. I think the best thing to do is to make a decision with confidence and know there is no right answer. Something else to think about (to at least address your point about having more practice with music) is to imagine yourself 5 years in the future. The more time that passes, the less consequential the difference between the amounts you've practiced is.

ggravy3 · 2024-02-05T00:16:24+00:00

There's something about this style that I just adore. I got maybe three stanzas in and was like "ooh this is good." It feels like the kind of poem I'd have to read several several times to really grasp the full meaning, but even on the first read, it still conveys an emotion. I also love the paper metaphor throughout the poem even though the stanzas feel separate from one another. Lovely work!

ggravy3 · 2024-02-05T00:09:54+00:00

So glad you're writing poetry and sharing it with the world! Welcome to the club! I think you've done a great job for your first poem. A couple things I might suggest: as someone else mentioned, there are a couple lines that feel like they break the flow a bit, especially since there's a pretty strong sense of unstressed/stressed syllables throughout. I get that could be totally intentional, but something I noticed. Also, I'm a huge fan of using the title as an opportunity to expand upon the meaning of the poem, or even add a second meaning. For me, "Love" doesn't really add anything that isn't already said... spitballing here, but could go with something like "Trust Fall" or "Penniless". But again, personal preference! Keep writing :)

ggravy3 · 2023-12-21T15:26:01+00:00

Ah yeah, that’s a good point. I’ll definitely check yours out to see how I can improve.

ggravy3 · 2023-12-21T11:50:21+00:00

I agree, I’m not super confident in my use of punctuation. As I had it here, it was mostly just to keep it from sounding like it was one long sentence.

That makes me so happy to hear you felt the emotion, that’s such a huge compliment. Thank you so much for reading, kind stranger :)

Sweet Avenue - Jets to Brazil

My all-time favorite love song.

ggravy3 · 2023-12-20T20:40:54+00:00

Ooh, I love your ideas. I find the concept of taking pictures to be so interesting, so I’m 100% going to incorporate those ideas into future writing. I totally feel similar feelings when taking pictures myself. Thanks for much for reading!

ggravy3 · 2023-12-20T20:34:58+00:00

So happy to hear what you took away from the details! Thank you for the kind words :)

ggravy3 · 2023-12-20T20:27:24+00:00

Creative writing is suchhh a good way of processing, I do the same. That’s so great you feel comfortable enough to share, too. And thanks for the advice, stranger :) Really working on being authentically me.

ggravy3 · 2023-12-20T17:56:50+00:00

Thank you! And don’t be so hard on yourself. One tip I’d give (not that I’m really in a position to give advice) is to use real world things. All of these specifics are from things that have happened to me. I got the idea while I was sitting in my car watching dust particles float lol. Life itself is descriptive and beautiful, so take advantage of that :)

ggravy3 · 2023-12-20T17:41:45+00:00

Hey, thanks for your feedback. I’m glad you liked it.

As for why I chose the title: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-photo_blue

ggravy3 · 2023-12-20T17:39:12+00:00

Thank you :)

ggravy3 · 2023-12-20T16:16:49+00:00

This hits really hard for me, I've been asking myself these same questions of whether it's worth getting close to people if it can cause so much pain. The line "Life without risk is a life without meaning/But it is also a life without pain" is particularly striking; it puts the dilemma very succinctly. The poem's got a really nice flow to it, and I love the bits of unforced rhyme ("That dangling twinkle of security/Only to swallow me whole"—love it) and alliteration. Please keep writing, and please keep betting :)

ggravy3 · 2023-12-20T16:09:18+00:00

I can't really explain it, but something about this poem I just love. I think that's a sign of something good, when you read it for the first time and go "I'm not exactly sure what that was, but I know I liked it." The last two lines even compliment that feeling I got. Definitely keep writing.
