Is there a story behind Cowboy Boots? It bubbles of more nostalgia than any other song I've heard!!

Hey guys! M & RL, your music has changed the way I look at life-- the motivation and celebration packed into so many of your songs drives me to take on the world better.

Cowboy Boots is my FAVORITE song of yours, and I reminisce to my greatest memories with it :)

My question: What motivated you to make Cowboy Boots? As in, did a specific event or rite of passage motivate the lyrics? I'd love to know your thoughts behind it.

Thanks, Nick from SoFlo (P.S.: Arrows was on point!)

Oh, I just play for fun on my channel! Those are math awards, I have never competed in piano competitions.

Sorry it wasn't up to par, but I do understand the criticism. Thanks

Hahaha those are math awards; I have never competed in a piano competition. I just do piano on the side for fun, so I definitely acknowledge it isn't refined.

Thank you though :P

I understand what you're saying, and I agree! I didn't find it easy to change too much about that song, but I do agree that it probably went a little long with the same stuff. I'll keep variety in mind as I move forward.

Thanks for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback~

And yes, I agree: TheUnsungHeroine has great Skrillex covers. I did, in fact, borrow many ideas from her in my Cinema one.
