Heh, once again I postponed everything until the last moment and my plan was once again - just do a quick self-jam with fingerdrumming and guitar. But I've discovered my whole audio setup stopped working. I'm using linux with pipewire and it seems like I've messed up the signal routing during the week somehow, will be looking into it later today it seems.

But yeah, in order to record at least something - I've plugged the mic, took an acoustic and just did a one-take of strumming and trying to complain about my life on top of playing.

I think for the duration of the summer I will switch to the acoustic guitar though, to force myself work on progressions and get to know more "traditional" songwriting.

And now I will go and finish cleaning of my apartment because I just can't anymore, everything is in disarray and I'm constantly trying to catch up with my plans and responsibilities. Welp, it's time for it to change.

I feel like I also was doing a bit of social isolation, and that also includes weeklybeats. It feels like the whole thing is about community and interactions but I'm not really engaging with the chats and so on, so I might be missing on the benefits :')

Anyways, the cleaning awaits me and so is the battle with my own mind

Sometime it sucks and sometime we are our worst enemies against time… however, I think it’s a very personal song but also important that you manage to put this into a song.

It might not seem much to you, but I believe it works well, there are emotions and you are raw and show that you can put together something even on tight deadline.

Your idea to focus on acoustic and songwriting is worth pursuing, especially to have something driving you for the next couple of months. I’m continuing to follow you, let’s go man, you’ll get it smile

100% agree with LeCroqueMonsieur

It does work well and has gravity. Feels really intentional tbh smile

Good job!

You even got an idea to follow through thanks to it big_smile
