Don't Wanna Lose You

Here it is, a cover of my favourite song from the Undertale Soundtrack.
I always wanted to make it for a special occassion and, even though I am a bit late, I'm happy that it gets to release today.
I don't think I've ever put so much love in a song before, but I think that's fitting because of how much I love this game.
Sufficed to say, if not for Undertale, I wouldn't be here.
I wouldn't be passionate about music, I wouldn't realise that I can be a writer, I wouldn't have a community to appreciate what I do.
Undertale has brought so much joy to my life that it's hard thinking where I would be without it.
But as much as I love it, I must admit it's hard to branch off from it.
More and more I've been trying to create something on my own, my own songs, my own characters etc.
The first attempts were horrid, and well... they still kinda are...
Maybe sometime in the future I'll grow a pair and show you lmao
I want to treat this anniversary as a turning point for me.
Yeah I'll still make tons of fancontent for this game, but it will drift from being my main focus as time goes on.
As much as I love Undertale, I don't want this game to define me as a person.
I want to finish COTW in the next few years and after that, I'm going to create my own games.
They're not gonna be nearly as good, but I hope you'll eventually enjoy them.

To all those who are listening, thank you.

Born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1940, of mixed Nigerian and Ghanaian parentage, Tony Allen taught himself to play by listening to records made by the American jazz drummers Art Blakey and Max Roach. He began working as a professional musician in 1960, gigging around Lagos and variously playing highlife and jazz. Today living in Paris, Allen has long been acknowledged as Africa’s finest kit drummer and one of it's most influential musicians, the man who with Fela Anikulapo Kuti created Afrobeat - the hard driving, James Brown funk-infused, and politically engaged style which became such a dominant force in African music and whose influence continues to spread today.

Allen had to overcome strong parental opposition to realise his dream of
becoming a professional musician. “My parents were…not keen. Back then, in Lagos, musicians were more or less thought of as beggars, or worse. But I just put it in front of them. I was an electrical technician, but I wanted to make a change. My mother was never happy about it, but my father, who was an amateur musician, eventually agreed.”

Allen started out as a jazz drummer. “Art Blakey was my big influence, and before that, before I started club crawling, it was Gene Krupa. When I started, I tried to play like Gene Krupa. Then I discovered Blue Note Records and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers - it opened up another style to me. Max Roach was important too. I studied some lessons he wrote in Down Beat magazine about how to play high-hats. Most drummers in Lagos never used them, they were just a decoration on the kit,and I’d always thought that was something incomplete.”
