Well, here we are; WB2026!

I've been on the fence for weeks deciding whether I can find the energy to undertake WB again. The last week I started tinkering to see if anything sparked and wasn't having much luck. I tried to get something new going in three different projects but none of them were vibing enough to drive me so I had mostly decided it's not the end of the world if I don't participate this year.

Yesterday I thought I would give the ideas folder a quick look and this little guitar bit was sitting there (intro) and sounded easy enough to make into an easy stripped back guitar/vocal thing... Then I got other ideas...

I really shouldn't have started with a vocal piece because as usual the lyrics were a huge issue that slowed things down, so some of them are... eh... I gotta remind myself though that it's just a disposable pop song, doesn't have to be deep or perfect or whatever.

I hope everyone has fun with their WB endeavors smile

Glad you decided to participate. This is killer. I love the chorus. Lyrics/melody/delivery are so good.

vocal work on a weeklybeats song certainly is something i wouldnt expect at all. this is great

Holy cow the vocals are amazing! This one is radio-ready for sure and takes me back to college radio in the 90s. But better.

"Amazing" is an understatement they are flipping incredible

Super happy you did upload this one at least!

Every week doesn't need to be hi-effort ones... smile

I wish you keep at it, but if not, it is fine.

Nice pop-rock track.

Yeah, it is hard by design...

Great work man! I am happy you decided to submit something in the end and look forward to hearing more!

Listened again. These lyrics hit HARD.

oh yes, very nice.  the vocals on this add so much!  looking forward to hearing more from you this year!  (i was also debating whether to participate again this year, so hope you find the energy and fun.)

Perhaps disposable, but I'll gladly keep it around, be environmentally conscious and all that.

By design indeed!

awesome vocals and lovely harmonies! chorus is a head nodder!

Hey y'all, sorry for the delayed interaction, I really appreciate your comments, I often get stuck in a cycle of 'I need to think of a good reply to everyone... I'll come back to this... *repeatedly sidetracked* oh, maybe I've left it too long and it'll be weird if I finally comment now so maybe I shouldn't... But I feel like I should... panic!' etc

Typical AuDHD brain stuff. Anyhoo, I just wanted to say comments are always appreciated even if it might seem otherwise by my lack of interactions.

The chorus and some guitar stuff reminds me a bit of Silversun Pickups! Love it heart

Love this, man!
Your guitar playing and tones are wonderful.
Great job on the vocals too!
