ah, one of my favorite genres! I like how raw the drums and guitar sound but also tightly controlled and mixed well.

This rocks!  Really digging that 90's shoegaze sound.  A good looking crew on that couch, too.  What's your dog's name???

Awesome. There’s some strong Bob Mould vibes here. Loved the contrast of the sedate visual against the driving guitar and rhythm. Drums were fantastic. And the way you reached for Frank’s hand on “not alone”…   Amazing work.

Hey man. This is beautiful. I'm so happy you're never going back to those dark days. There's just way too much awesomeness (and yes, that does include your own) to allow those voices, that sadness and that anger to win.
Again, thank you for your art. We are all better because of it.

Fully sick.
90s in the best way.

Fully sick. 90s in the best way.

Well done! The somewhat 'weak', empty sound fits well. It's one of those things that, in hindsight, are a feature and not a bug of '90s recordings. It's relatively easy to get a big, clean, punchy, overengineered sound these days. But that low contrast, empty sound that came from limited equipment and low budgets, with tracks written in a rush, has emotional value. Anyway, good stuff!

Drewwwww... this one hit hard emotionally, in a bittersweet way. Sad because you had to go through feeling like that, but soooo happy to see where you are now. Oh yeah... and the song itself sounds sick, in a really awesome way.
Thank you for sharing your art. *hugs*

Frank's single tear! I was a fountain by the end of the video. Beautiful work my friends.

Such an incredible track. The rawness carries the emotion so well. Every aspect of this track is perfect. Really exemplary stuff, I can't get enough of it!

Wow, is this what shoegaze is supposed to sound like?  Because it's rad af.  Even the dog loves it.

Holdin' down the shoegaze fort this week! I'll take the next watch

Love the progression, and those drums are super crisp and forward in a nice way. I can relate a lot to the lyrics, too. Thanks for the vulnerability!

You've got a way with your songs of cutting right to the point and hitting me right in the feels. The concept for the video and your expressions throughout really sell the emotion of the track too. Powerful stuff and a new favorite.

Powerful stuff! I was a little nervous in video at first, like I wondered if there was tension or what was going to be said, sung, happen ... Feels to you.

I LOOOOOOOVE the vocal processing on this track.  Like it pulls the whole track into this massive spaces that like... simultaneously makes the lyrics feel claustrophobic and like isolated, but like somehow in a wide open space... which woks so well with the harmony and the actual lyrical content.  What track dude, damn.  Like I've heard the saying "music makes you feel feelings, lyrics make you think thoughts, and songs make you feel... thoughts... this song perfectly exemplifies that.

keep going, Drew. you are so loved.

beautiful <3 keep going, Drew. you are so loved.

Thank you!  I am really proud of this mix and balancing “full” yet “empty”

I appreciate you so much DJIP - I really have to thank the WB family for teaching me how to accept and embrace myself as an artist

I didn’t even notice that!!!!  Fetal said that same thing!

Say hello to HUNTER!  We’ve had him for a few years but still training him how to be “camera ready”

Thanks so much, appreciate the comments on the vocals

Thanks I know I hit the mark when you get a little emotional!

Wow, thanks so much for noticing that moment!  We were so rushed trying to get the dog to settle in that by the time we were rolling, the seriousness of the vocals hit me and I really got into it.  Was hard not to cry looking Frank in the eye!

Thank you mukti!!!!

oof Jegasus yet again on his neverending quest to make me cry via WB comments.  All too often i’m just focused on the current drama of my current life and I don’t zoom out and express gratitude.  Jegasus, i’m really grateful for your comments and interpretations of my work because it feels amazing to see my work through your eyes

yes!!!!

thank you!  yeah, i don’t know how to describe it but it was supposed to be “big” but also “empty” so I appreciated that comment from you.

we are!  also i don’t want to freak you out but you were a big inspiration for this - not that your music is shoegaze but something about the stuff you and your crew have been doing have been making me think about echoey vocals or something.  idk!

Thank you so much Erin

dude we (you and me) are like living miracles and i’m not even joking

thanks duster! (my new cute nickname for you)

Thanks so much, I appreciate you SO MUCH for watching and listening!  I feel like it is a lot to ask, lol but your attention and consideration makes it worth it.  I love cooking knowing people will eat the food, ya know?

awwwww!  thanks so much for watching - we love u fetal!

wow, that was eloquently stated and EXTREMELY kind. 

the dog was VIBIN lol - I actually don’t even know what shoegaze is but this is what I think it is?  thanks!

yeah I really appreciate you opening up more in some of your track comments - it’s been nice getting to know you in that way.  glad you can relate and thank YOU for your vulnerability!

thank you so kindly LCB, you know you are a huge inspiration and someone I look up to as a musician. 

ha!  thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.

WOOOF now i’m going to cry.  I really appreciate that you talk about the space - I was trying to make this song somehow “tight” and “big” yet “empty” but “close”???  thanks SO much.  I’m going to be thinking about that quote for a long time (and i’ll attribute it to you now )

I love you buddy, thanks for being here for me, musically, spiritually, and emotionally

THIS SLAPS. Sounds like an Interpol song, for real. No notes, five stars. Just wow.
