This is nice, did you record all the parts yourself? Piano is lovely and the singer has a nice vocal growl in the latter half.

Thank you and yes I did it all, still learning so hopefully will improve.

I have a song. It's called Smoke. I spent this afternoon writing the lyrics and adding singing. It's pretty much finished, I might change some things, couple little rough bits, but otherwise I'm just curious to see if anybody actually likes it, so let me know what you think. Yeah, you.

I like it, was like listening to three bands I like playing together.

i didn't mean it as a criticism, i just couldn't think of another word to say the juxtaposition between the drama of the song and the everyday - actually i should've said quotidian.

Hehe, it's fine all in jest.

The entire song is meant to be a drudgery. Count the social issues in it. Student loans, wage stagnation, racial inequality, free speech, consumerism, government corruption. All condensed into lines that fit the Twitter character limit. And a suggestion to the audience that they are making such a difference by engaging with their social media (i.e. increasing revenue via advertising) which pays the very people keeping them down. And it is routine but essentially just a distraction in it's own right. When what we should be doing is actually getting out there as others have before.

Then I go and have to post it on the very platforms driven by likes, subscribes, follows, while essentially calling out the very people that have to engage for it to go anywhere. I called it "I, " because I am guilty of this too btw.
