Yeah, that's exactly the kind of retrospective delicate piece that's great for the final track. No notes, five stars. End credits roll. We contemplate what was lost and what was gained. WB24 is over. We did it!

Hope 2025 treats you well!

This is super duper pretty... You already know I'm a sucker for sentimental reverb-soaked piano-sounding pieces, so this is my JAM 1000%.

I'm super proud of you not letting yourself get burnt out, that's an impressive feat. Congrats!!! And congrats on reaching the end!!!!! Your kind words are also always very much appreciated, so thanks for being such a cool musical buddy here on WB

Hope 2025 treats you well, friend!!!!

i keep coming back to this beautiful song and just haven't had the right words.
it feels... somehow timeless, and rooted in the moment at the same time.
a perfect encapsulation of WB2024.

your music and kindness has had a big impact on me this year. i love that we were able to collaborate and i'm super proud of those tracks - particularly 'for you to hold.' that whole experience really helped set the tone for the rest of the year for me, and gave me some invaluable tools that i use with every mix now.

THANK YOU.

i know we'll keep in touch, and i am super excited to hear what you go on to create. don't be a stranger!

What a beautiful song. A fitting last track for WB24 - sounds like an outro, "end-credits" track. Congrats on an amazing year of music and wishing you a happy 2025.

So pretty! I can just close my eyes and let this carry me along all day. Yeah, like and end credits song, a moment to reflect on the bigness of what has been accomplished and moment of calm before what comes next!
I enjoyed hearing your music this year and hearing about your process, and the collaborations. Thanks for being here and sharing the music! I relate to you thoughts about the experience. It has been a time indeed!
Have a wonderful 2025, hope you hear you back in 2026!

We made it A return feels like good place to end things for the year. Very sentimental. It's been nice hearing your submissions

We made it <3 A return feels like good place to end things for the year. Very sentimental. It's been nice hearing your submissions :)

Thank you, I'm glad the emotion came through on this one... I spent more time than I'd like to admit dialing in the performance. I tried really hard to get the whole thing in a single take... and after like 35 or 36 takes I resorted to comping things together... which kind of sums up WB 2024 for me. I feel like I shot for the stars a lot, and while I never really pulled off any of my grand ambitions, I (almost) always ended up with something I was proud of, and surprised by.  I hope to be back in 2026, and will be lurking about on the Discord as well. 

Thank you so much, and same all around.  I'm no "active" on the Discord channel... but I am present there, and I have some big projects planned for this year, so I will certainly be sharing those as the come to fuition. 

(人´∀`) Thanks, that was very much the goal.  And YES!!! WE DID!!  What a crazy achievement, it's amazing how something that seems so herculean at the beginning... turned out to be so eminently achievable... it's amazing what you can accomplish if you just keep showing up. 

Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed the piece. Yeah, I really thought I was gonna be more worn out by WB... but it turns out making music is fun; even when it's to a deadline; even when it's every week; even when it's stressful... I suppose there's a reason that in every language I've encountered, one always "plays music", and not "works music".  Not to mention that post WB, composing for school is SOOOOOOO much easier... it's like I spent the whole year running with weights on my ankles and wrists, until that was just normal... then suddenly I went for a run without the weights, and I feel like I could sprint the whole way.  Such a great experience. 

I really appreciate that, I really wanted this last piece to pull together a lot of the things I've learn through the year, and like pull it all together, so I'm very glad that it seems to hit the mark.  And you're right, you should expect an email next week... I'm about to have a big block of time with no musical due dates or pressure... and I've found that the best thing to happen as a result of WB, is that now I feel compelled to be making music all the time... which is not a bad place to be.  I will be in touch. 

Thank you, I very much wanted this to be like a "full cadence" to the whole year's work... so it puts a big cheesy grin on my face to hear you decribe it as "end-credit" music.

I'm so glad that it had that effect.  What is music, if not a way to communicate and share feelings that exist beyond words... and it seems like I captured the feels with this one, because everyone seems to have gotten out of it exactly what I meant to put into... Thank you so much for the kind words.   

Much appreciated, its hard not to be sentimental about the this year.  Feels like we've all come so far, in so many useful and interesting ways.
