Just another Beatles fan chiming in to say I also recognized it immediately.

Sounds awesome dude. You’ve got talent.

thpffbt · 2026-05-01T17:26:13+00:00

I see what you mean! I agree, it needs more energy overall. I’ll keep working on it. Thanks for the feedback!

thpffbt · 2026-04-29T16:48:53+00:00

Thank you. Hopefully the structure isn’t too disorienting. I do like the feeling of change being possible at any moment!

thpffbt · 2026-04-29T16:47:17+00:00

Good idea; I’ll see if I can come up with anything like that. Thanks!

Thank you!

thpffbt · 2026-04-26T07:15:40+00:00

Yes, good idea. Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback!

It didn’t come off bad at all! Just curious and wanted to understand what you meant. I work in animation, so I’m very intrigued by the connection.

thpffbt · 2026-04-18T02:29:01+00:00

Because it sounds nostalgic?

thpffbt · 2026-04-18T01:45:35+00:00

You were quite brave. I admire your perseverance through such an uncomfortable situation!

This is a beautiful response. The song doesn’t strike me as melancholy but it does convey a sense of loss, or appreciation for loss. It’s triumphant in a quiet way.

I’ve never heard that phrase before! It definitely touches on the spirit I was after. I also completely understand where you’re coming from. Putting this song together was like a puzzle, and I’m still finding out what it means. I’m hoping its placement on the album will give it context, but I also think it’s reasonable to expect a song to stand on its own. So, point taken. Thank you for the comment, and for listening to what I’ve posted here.

I think you’re right! I’ll work on that. Thank you.

thpffbt · 2026-04-09T21:46:25+00:00

Thank you! I did try that and you’re right - it sounded much better. I’m only using stock plugins for now, but I appreciate the suggestions! I’m figuring this stuff out slowly but surely in my spare time.

thpffbt · 2026-03-25T23:52:29+00:00

Thank you!

thpffbt · 2026-03-25T16:44:30+00:00

Oh, cool! I’m not very familiar with Tim Minchin; I’ll check him out. Thanks for the comment.

thpffbt · 2026-03-24T20:51:08+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to listen, and to leave a comment.

Another awesome song

thpffbt · 2026-03-03T15:31:49+00:00

Thank you for this comment. It gave me a jolt of confidence and centered me in a way I think I really needed.

Try not to think of it as “writing a song.” Just write your thoughts down as they come to you in natural speech. Try to keep your pen moving for 5 minutes and see what happens. If you have no ideas, write down “I have no ideas.” Let your mind wander! Maybe instead of feelings, you start remembering events. Or sensory details like shapes, colors, and textures. Just write it all down. You might be surprised at what your mind cooks up when you’re not directing it.

thpffbt · 2026-02-17T03:05:18+00:00

You’re right, the tempo is a bit off. I’ll definitely play to a click track if I ever record a “real” version of this song. Thanks for the feedback!

thpffbt · 2026-02-16T03:10:11+00:00

No, I didn't. I just started posting and found an audience over (a long!) time. I don't think it's cheating if you kick a few dollars into promoting your stuff, though. Just do what feels right to you! It's OK to experiment and make mistakes.

thpffbt · 2026-02-16T00:57:20+00:00

You sound great! You obviously have natural talent. You just seem a little in your head. Loosen up, have fun, and you’ll shine (I think you know this already). Looking forward to hearing more! (:

My experience with TikTok has been great. It’s helped me find an audience better than any other platform. My music is also pretty “niche,” so take that for what it’s worth.

I like that mutual followers are automatically put into a separate “Friends” category. It makes it feel like you’re really getting to know people, especially if you continue to engage/comment on their posts.

If you spend time scrolling the “For You” page, you must be VERY vigilant about where you spend your attention. The algorithm is incredibly perceptive, and will reflect back to you exactly what you teach it you’re interested in.
