Aimless

This week's track is something of a rock synthwave hybrid. I used to listen to a lot of music like this a few years back and I've always liked this particular type of sound. It was a bit of a struggle to make music today. Actually it seems like it's been a struggle all of this year so far. I remember in 2022 when I first started Weekly Beats it was the first time that I had really started composing and recording music, so there was no real expectations. Every week was an opportunity to learn more about writing and recording and it was fun. I was just happy to get a song out. 2024 was nice because I was able to expand and learn more. I used to procrastinate on making my weekly songs sometimes because I was busy with other stuff, but now I find myself procrastinating a bit mainly because I think now I have more expectations. When I first did WB in 2022 I didn't really identify as a musician anymore. I had been playing music for most of my life but it had really taken a backseat for other things. WB was actually what helped me rediscover my passion for music again. Over the last few years I started getting more into music again and started feeling like that was becoming part of my core identity again. But now I'm starting to deal with some of the more negative emotions that come with adopting something into yourself like that. I think this year may be about learning how to navigate those feelings in a healthy way. In any case, I was happy to get this song finished today. I started out with no real ideas and somehow found little pieces until something came together. It reminds me of those early days of exploration and trying new things.
