Right back at ya as far as folks like you giving hope. And I hear you on current events and anxiety seeping into the way the music comes out. I feel like that's totally okay and kind of unavoidable. Heck, sometimes it's crucial, either just to have somewhere to let it out or to help listeners feel a little less alone. It kind of makes me think about WB 2020 and the journeys we were all on back then. Looking back, people here did some pretty incredible work, both musically and interpersonally. I feel that same kind of resilience happening this year too, and it's making a world of difference. Take care VL, and keep up the great work!

Such a soothing guitar sound with your vocals.  Love the strings underneath supporting the guitar. Excellent work!

lovely song, i think the rawness of the vocals adds to it, and the guitar playing is as lovely as ever.

the world is such a fuck at the minute too anything that helps you get through it is time well spent 🌺

I gotta go with the nice breakup on “things” of the wb posted version since I’ve been practicing vocal breakups so much and loved that one.

That glorious shirt will be our Downfall. I hope you didn’t wear it After Midnight. Have you considered a white version and taking it to an Everytime I Dye meetup?

Yeah, scary times. It is difficult to just be happy, sing about love and abondance or other funny shit and be happy about being part of the "rich"...

I think it is perfect to hear depressing music now. Or music that calls for a wake up...

(It is fine as well to hear super fun, groovy, music that makes us smile, one doesn't exclude the other.)

All the crap around we just get it in in some ways...

The recording sounds great. I like the performance.

Take care!

This is pretty lush and effective. Even with a 40min level of effort you're way out in front of a lot of us. I find that inspiring so please keep it up!

Fully support you getting in front of an open mic!! I also identify very strongly with "my best stuff i'm most proud of comes from the emotions I'm most trying to reform" kinda energy. I don't want all my "best" stuff to be angry, I want to instill hope too. It's rough.

Great combo of accoustic guitar and singing. I like the prog choice of melodies and chords, adding some spice here and there. Tasteful!

Track sounds super full with that warm reverb, great stuff.

so good! We do have nice things, this track. Excellent vocals, the perfect amount of reverb. I feel you on the motivation and * gestures broadly * Lately I've been enjoying escaping into music and forgetting about all that's going on, even for a brief moment. Community and creativity are what the world needs most right now.

really like your vocal on this one. the sound of your voice, the melody, and how it dances w/ the guitar and the reverb

beautiful song, and those wild unexpected chords for the "dying" and "lying" are magnificent.

I totally have the same feeling about making and singing bummer type songs these days. but as long as they are caked in poetry I can see it as making a good thing out of a bad situation... hopefully things change for the better soon. thanks for making your stuff and sharing it!

as Orange Drink wisely coached me at some point - when you have a voice for others who are feeling the same thing but maybe don't have the energy or words to address it, it's totally empowering and beautiful and excellent - so never feel bad about saying exactly what's on your mind through your music, you might save someone. that is the most honest thing to do, anyway. would be very cool to hear the things you actually would rather do tho, so again, really hoping we can all get back to making the shit we actually want instead of what the world kinda pushes us to make...

btw face reveal!!! (at least my first time seeing you i think?!!?) very cool to see the person behind so much music I heard these past years!
