Sounds amazing I can tell you worked really hard on this

Loving how original and homemade yet professional this sounds bro

as a percussionist, i really liked the drums, good stuff! :) 

Love the meaning of this song man. Good on yeah for pushing forward and not falling back! I really love the changes in your vocals in this track, you did a good job at changing it up a few times to really stick out. Also the background cello/violin was really nice layered behind your voice! Good stuff homie!

Last year, for my nineteenth birthday, I released my first few songs on here, on a project simply titled, "hey." The intention was to just throw it up casually, I've always thought of making music, but never actually proved I could until this time last year. One year later, I can say that I've been completely consumed by the art and craft that is music. I've fallen in love with every aspect of making a song, from writing the lyrics, to learning how to better my production quality and recording "studio" I have at my parents' house back home. I've come a LONG way in one year, and this is only the beginning. Often times, I'll hear that the age of nineteen is kind of useless because there aren't really any traditionally set milestones that you reach when you get there. At 18, you're technically an adult. At 20, you're not a teenager anymore. But at 19, you're in this in between space. But that's not to say you can't create your own milestones. At 19, I published my first short collection of songs, and got hooked on music. At 19, I almost got kicked out of school for failing too many classes. At 19, I decided to change my life, and commit myself fully to everything I've always wanted to do, including music.

This song represents not only my thoughts about growing up, but also everything leading up to tonight, as I write this. In a way, I have lost some sense of youth, I can't say I'm a teenager anymore, which is insane to me because I can't even remember what it's like to NOT be a teenager haha.  Making this song really had me in my feels, because while I was writing it, I was imagining this night, transitioning from 19 to 20 years old. This song was made as a sort of anticipation to all of the thoughts I would think, all the things I wanted to do as a teenager but never did, and other things like that. But now that the time is here, it's oddly still. Growing up, I played a lot of pokemon games on my old gameboy, and somewhere I still have it hidden away in some drawer or something. But I remember this one phrase prof. Oak used to say when you misused an item in the game. "There's a time and place for everything, but not now." No matter how I feel about a nostalgic past, I know that right now, at this exact moment in time, is the perfect time and place to share this song, and my experiences leading up to it, with all of you. As I write this, I'm sharing a song that represents the sum of my youth, and the first moments of growing up, and what it means to grow older. I'm 20 now, and I have a lot of projects on the way. This is the part where I ask you politely to follow me for updates, and make sure you tell all your friends about this song, but only if you enjoyed it. Stay tuned, if you liked this one, you're gonna LOVE the next one.

If you've read this far, I just want to say a huge thank you for supporting what I do. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't care about the amount of people who listen to my stuff. I do care, and I want you to know that haha. I appreciate you taking the time to share yours with me, and hopefully you've gained something from me sharing my time here with you.
