I hereby declare your song a FANTASTIC TRACK. Even though you don't feel like talking much ;)

I don't feel like typing very much but this one was f*cling dope, Sir!

Loving those moogy leads, the poignant lyrics and the whole "chiptuny" production, plus great hihat/ride play on that beat.

Glad you still feel like making super dupa stuff very much lately. Awesome !!!

Really like the lyrical motif. I’m toying with a different fifth in my head idk why. I’m trying to get good at lyrics this year.

I feel like it grabbed me because “to you” felt personal. A big escalation from “very much” like it was winding up and I wanted it to keep winding up, but instead, it wound back down where “to myself” felt flatter lyrically, even though it’s something of an escalation in meaning, and then “very much” was back to the zero.

Maybe “can’t handle talking to myself” and then at the end put something dissonant in the spotlight like “I can’t handle life” or “I can’t listen”

Yung Grandpa returns! Fantastic beat and solid themes. Great work!

Yung Grandpa returns! :D Fantastic beat and solid themes. Great work!

I can (unfortunately) relate to the lyrics a little too much.  levelcapybara beat me to the punch but I was going to ask if this counts as a Yung Grandpa appearance especially after I caught the Grandpa reference in the lyrics.  Dig the bouncy synths as well.

Love this, man!

"Shoutout to my homies in group therapy". Love this, man!

Ahhh!  Love this.  Interesting resolve from major to minor on the main hook.  Great bass notes which tie it all up together and awesome reverbs.  A perfect reflection for a cheeky walk with the doggo for sho.  Although I was worrying about how slippery that snow looked :-o

My favorite part of this is the Sony MD7506 headphones... the perfect field recording headphones for on-the-go vocals!

I love the glissandos on the synth voice that comes in around 1:13.  Super cool effect, and I think it really makes for a nice break down "solo" kind of vibe there. Cool track.

Everything about this track makes me smile. Bouncy, quirky beat and (ironic) talking tap into my core. The lyrics are perfect.

Great concept with the video that supports the theme of the song. Short, sweet. I can't say much that other's haven't covered, but I love your exploration of different genres, looking forward to future submissions. Keep up the great work!

I love the song (those pads, man!) and I love everything about the lyrics.

Now, there’s a new star in the video I’ve not seen before that I can’t get over: what’s that absolutely glorious pup’s name? I will need an introduction because I can’t not love an animal and obviously have weak spots for dogs. (Cats too. In fact, most animals, but grateful for ones that like to hang. Like baby cows will hang and play and run happily, they’re also invited.)

Love your way and please tell your dog I said hi and maybe boop the snoot for me?

This sounds so pro! Love the simple/clever riff and the off-kilter percussion is dope. The rapping and lines are on point and give me the nerdcore vibes I crave. Glad to see your back and bringing it so strong in 2026!

Catching up on your stuff! Glad I am since this is a very strong entry. Love how the music is all filtered until you start rapping and then it opens up the bass gates and everything falls into place. Powerful lyrics, too, and you rap very well!

No notes, five stars. Well, I wish it were longer, but I get it. Weekly cadence is a lot to ask.

Everytime I see your name I just start laughing - I don’t think I’ll ever get over our laughing fit, one for the books!
Thanks for listening, or at least, pretending to listen

Thank you so much for getting into it!  Means a lot.

Thanks!  I really appreciate your feedback and really taking it to heart.  Yeah, it’s tough writing lyrics in such a short time frame without much/any time for revisions - I like your ideas about trying to move things in an escalating way.
