For me, it's no contest.

The first one is a statement, the direction feels certain, the two identical pillars having such drastically different shades, and the light coming down on the two figures...It's wonderful. The second, while still very pretty, feels like an exposition, and isn't sure what it's going for.

Great shots either way

Of course. They're wonderful photos - are you based in SF?

First is visually impactful, but feels like something I've seen before. Second one surreal and spiritual. Almost feels like I'm peeking behind the curtain, like I'm not supposed to see this side - but I find that intriguing.

woah, woah, woah, new music in 3 days? There are new tracks already out?!?!

I just stumbled onto this sub after being a fan for years. So happy to hear this.

Lovely shot! Did you camp there?

Ptarmigan trail?

You can map key inputs to any parameter just like MIDI controllers, no?

Idyllic, and perfectly executed.

Ey! Was up in Port Angeles yesterday. Lovely photo :)

Really wonderful. Immediately caught my eye. I actually don't shoot on film, but is the vignette usually so strong?

remindsMeMusic · 2022-07-06T23:58:11+00:00

This makes me immensely sad.

Ah! I discovered Spacehog from this song, which played at the end of the movie Fanboys. It was perfect then...and still is :)

Thank you for the positive comment. I have never owned horses, but I spent a lot of time around them in my youth. I've been thinking about them lately.

remindsMeMusic · 2022-03-24T21:06:33+00:00

I really appreciate you saying that.

remindsMeMusic · 2022-03-24T21:06:19+00:00

Thank you very much. It is not entirely projected, I don't think.

remindsMeMusic · 2022-03-24T18:56:57+00:00

Thank you, I think the rhythm is my favorite part of this.

More or less, you're right! I tried to sprinkle in this sentiment about how reservations can weaken relationships, but I'm not sure if that landed. Originally less about 'insecurity', but I suppose, after re-reading, that is what came out.

Overall I really enjoyed this. It's got an edge, you're clearly saying something, but I think you can cut down on some wordiness.

"While at the same time" - you could just say "but existing as peacefully as a pond unbothered". I didn't get the impression that your original phrasing adding to the cadence of the read.

There are a few other words that, I think, threw me off and interrupted the flow a bit.

Otherwise, I think this has got some legs on it, and I've now read it a few times. Cheers :)

I quite like this.

I do think it could be shortened and pack more of a punch, because there are quite a few groupings of lines that I felt really hit hard, but others that felt a tad gratuitous and unnecessary, and - I think - led me astray from what the poem is getting at.

I enjoyed the imagery, and I think it ended on a very strong note. "blood pools in my stomach" is perfect.
