All M8 this week. This one took work to get done, and isn't necessarily the kind of music that immediately grabs me normally (was a bit more EDMish) but was still fun overall.
‹ Reflections, if you care 
This week (and this song) were about things not going the way you want, and how you respond to that. This has been a rough week where pretty much everything has not gone to plan. Everyone in my family has gotten the flu, which has had lots of implications on virtually every front. None of them have been fun, and some of them will be longer lasting. On top of that, things with my work aren't great as an important and extremely consequential deliverable has not materialized in a way that I'd hoped. I ended up having to spend a lot of my Saturday (today) both interrogating a bunch of data to explore why that happened, but also pivoting so that things can be fixed and I can hopefully still keep my job (mostly an exaggeration—I should be fine, Lord willing, but still).
Ultimately this song isn't about how bad my week was. It is about how you respond when things go bad. This week, I'm doing my best to make lemonade. This song is a great example of that. I am so tired, and I'm not feeling remotely "inspired" in the way I often am and like to be when I make music. Nothing was grabbing me, and I haven't even really wanted to make music. But I want to keep up Weeklybeats. I want to make a track every single week this year. So I didn't give up. Even though this may not have started from a place of inspiration, I still had a lot of fun, ended up somewhat inspired, and am reasonably happy with how this turned out in the end. Anyways, hopefully next week is better, and keep on truckin', friends!
