I have taken some time recently to reflect on some fears of mine. The loss of family had brought many vivid dreams. New life coming into my family so soon is disorienting. Sitting in the stillness I asked what is blocking me. I waited to hear the response echo back. Fear. I had nightmares about my past that revealed doubt in my capabilities. The ways in which I fell short whilst giving it my all. I felt isolated. Music is something that has always helped me exist in darkness. Music has become a bridge between me and the world. A new way to communicate something that the English language will always fail to describe. Soul. And so my calling is to lean into my heart beat. Play and hold rhythm. I have fallen short in the past and I know that this spirit of music wants to grow. So it is my honor to play and to connect with people who play for the spirit of play. much love 🤟

This video is probably way too heavy. It's a side video of a song I'm working on. Just thought I'd share. The wound is still painfully fresh.

Is there anything specific musicians are struggling with?

I saw this clip from this podcast and felt compelled to share. This is a PERFECT representation of how songs are built fundamentally. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxVeTiU9EKu47eta7L3-3BGDvG3Ni7pjGU?si=y_PIiLPARXnTLZPm Which of these themes resonates the most?
