...oh wait. this is you, isn't it?

yes its me. I do all the singing, producing and writing for each and every song. Usually takes a while to finish them though. Lately I've been making a lot of content and have been wanting to share it with people. This song is the third that I've finished for the CD and I think it came out pretty well. The others are similar in style and the way they are written as it should be. I like to incorporate different styles into my songs to give it an eclectic feel.

One of the mentally ill rereg spammers that keeps posting his lovely youtube channel and getting banned. He's like a tame version of Dare. I kinda doxxed him a while back, but I'm not sure if using :google: is doxxing (and I didn't get probated). He's done this to other forums for at least the last three years, it's quite amazing.

I'm hoping that one of these days that he'll earn enough ire from the mods that I can post his PO Box and we can send him poo poo.

That would be hilarious lol.
Yea, I dont know why forums tend to have so many disturbed, mentally defunct people. It doesn't make any sense to me.

His artistic style is so cool, like a lifelike cartoon or something. All the colors, scenes and settings are just incredible I can't describe it!

Def one of my favorites

Iron and Wine is alright, not my all time favorite but I like them, in terms of folk rock they got it down. But Id don;'t listen to them very often if at all.

have u ever thought of writing a book?? john dardanelles wrote two, he's such a talent

-Will

You know I have never considered writing a book, maybe jokingly when I was younger but for the most part no. In my creative process I enjoy practicing Singing/Rhythm first, next is Producing, then Writing, and lastly Promotion. Writing for me comes in third as far as enjoyability goes, not that it isn't fun or difficult for me, it just ranks behind the producing and singing does, which I consider the most fun part of the songwriting process. There is nothing more enjoyable than throwing down a beat and just jamming over it, words cannot describe the feeling you get when you write the perfect beat, and can sing something cool over it. Its feeling like Robert Plant or something, just incredible. Now writing for me usually comes from lyrics that I sing off the top of my head, that or I'll write them down first, which is easier for technical stuff like this-

(I'll Sound it out for you in terms of the rhthym)

Going in, knowing win-
ing is like spinning a spiderweb
all the
Flys led into a soon dead Trap to trick the
deadheads
into getting out
Betting about
now
all the webs been eaten away

I know its hard to get the rhythm on here but you can kind of get the picture here.

So in terms of writing I feel my creativity is very inspired by rap, and in vocal style it's definitely rock inspired. As far as your original question the only type of book that I would consider to write would be an autobiography, because I've read other musicians autobiography's (Anthony Kiedis, Iggy Pops coming out with a book) and have loved them. But other than that I am content with just lyrical writing. A lot of the time I feel that freestyle is an equal alternative, the only problem freestyle is that its much harder to get good multi syllable rhymes. But I love to write and will continue to do what I love.

I know how much work it takes to make even mediocre music, so I don't want to poo poo all over you as much fun as that might be. In case you are interested in constructive criticism, here are the top three reasons I don't think I will listen to this song again:

1. It doesn't really go anywhere. It kind of plods along, mix it up now and then. I'm talking rhythmically, melodically, and in terms of dynamic range.
2. The mixing, though adequate, doesn't really showcase any of the instruments or vocal sections. It's just kind of flat.
3. Your vocal affectation gets kind of grating after a while. You're doing a sort of glottal whining that fails to convey a specific emotion, and is sort of off-putting.

I'm a huge prick or something probably

Thanks for the criticism Novo, much better than just saying "this sucks" or "I thought it was terrible".

But, the tone of your criticism had me guessing that maybe you weren't feeling the style of it.

Is that a shaved head or are you younger than me and already suffering from pattern baldness tonsure??

-Will

Its not shaved, I starting losing my hair when I was very young, in fact I remember pulling out clumps of it in 8th grade. By sophomore year I already had a bald spot and receding hairline. Now its just completely bald, I've gotten used to it though and kind of like it now.
