Tried to do more of a rock song this time. Lyrics are kind of from a struggling musician who’s tired of people telling him to stop trying so hard.

Man, I love the storytelling in your lyrics. So evocative, really gets the struggle across, and I always enjoy how you turn a phrase.
The music supports the story so well - really liked how the drum beats feels like staggering with exhaustion, but is still unmistakably a rock beat. I also like how the chorus isn't a standard "lift" per se, but feels like another turn in the journey. Fits so well, great chord progression.
Vocals are fantastic as well - background is supporting, but so subtle, and lead has great emotion - totally carries the tired feel, but doesn't let the song down for lack of energy.
Awesome track!
Sweet intro. Awesome melody on the prechorus. Verse cadence is rad. Cool chorus.
Maybe he should try harder, but only him. Everyone else can take it a little easier. And do weeklybeats.
