Loss of belonging

By sad_infamy_sings on August 28, 2022 5:13 pm

I tried doing some a capella stuff instead of just recorder like i’ve been doing these past few weeks. I went back to a place I’ve called home for a while, only to feel sort of like I don’t belong here anymore. This has been a transformative year, one of shedding and eventual regrowth.

this track(and your description of this year) sounds like a tarot card i'm very fond of:

A. The song sounds amazing; easily an insta-fav for this week. 

B.  Holy cow, Raja.  I recognized that illustrator from way back―they're great!  There are more cards at https://asiwillit.tumblr.com/tagged/tarot%20cards

Culture shock goes through time, it waits for no one
But you made a very nice song of it
I just hope you can find someplace to belong in the end

Thanks ya’ll, I know I haven’t been the best at replying to comments/commenting back lately, but it’s nice to see your words every week I log on to post.

this song perfectly evokes the feeling of being somewhere familiar and not necessarily feeling welcome there anymore--aconstant ebb and flow of consonance and dissonance. really resonates with me, great work

I'm w/ ineff, instant favorite & download. Your brand of (what I shall now call) "sincere sound recording" and those fucking harmonies are nothing short of incredible. heart

thanks! Wielding the feelings seems to be a successful tool.

I'm glad this song was enjoyed by folks, it was a pretty bummer afternoon when I recorded it! But, looking back it's a nice reminder of the passage of time.
