feeling low about music...

PIS	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 10:50 AM Music is amazing, it is my release from the world, but sometimes the other half of my brain steps in and puts a downer on things. Sometimes its like "hey, why are you sitting at the computer creating music when it is taking you nowhere?" Ok, so I have had recognition for my house music locally, but my other music doesnt have any direction, its strange. I can't really put my finger on it, but it's like im the only person who gets excited about my own music, and maybe that is sad, and sometimes it feels pointless... This is where Dmusic comes to save the day, on here you can meet like minded people and share with people who will appreciate what you do. Thanks Dmusic. So if it wasn't for this place I would have nowhere to express the other side to my music and I would have to live eternally within 120-130bpm. but my rant has taken me out of the darkness now, and I have seen the light, Dmusic, i salute you. if anyone else would like to chat about their feelings about their own music, please do so.
psypig	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 11:25 AM I get like that sometimes. That feeling of 'why the fuck am i even doing this' is one i have come to know well. For me it was a massive downer after going from being in a band that was gigging regularly and gaining recognition to doing nothing at all for some time. I've finally got another band going which makes me feel better about my music but i've stopped doing stuff on my own because i fell in to a circle of writing stuff that wasn't very good just to post it here in an attempt to gain some recognition. I finally put the effort into musical activities in other places and now i'm a lot happier. i'll probably post more music here when i've got something i'm proud of but until then i'm concentrating on writing for the band.
WalkingStick	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 2:55 PM I was feeling like that just yesterday... I was thinking wow you know, self, your the only one that likes your music your the only one that will listen to your music but I do however have a 100 some friends on myspace and get a couple listens on it a day I'm hopeing that here it will be a bit better since I can have every piece of music that's on my album up so... who knows maybe I'm just being stupid
Alstroph	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 3:07 PM you know...this makes me feel okay. I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling down sometimes. I've been feeling down about myself and my music for the past week or so...I was getting afraid that my musical self was dying and I'd have to end up doing something lame that hated...I hate the idea of doing any other sort of work that doesn't include music. (perhaps the reason I got fired from subway in a week and a half...bastards) Anyway...I've not been able to compose anything on programs like cakewalk or garage band and my playing has been mediocre at best....maybe it'll go away? maybe I'll write something good? maybe it won't... I hate feeling like that. It scares me. It's like waking up and realizing you did something horribley wrong to somebody yesterday...except...all the time. ~M
TameasDust	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 6:57 PM sometimes I feel awash here at DMusic ... all this talent ... all these people who can sit down and write out what they feel in the form of music ... I am truly amazed by this talent ... to know that someone worked hard to bring to life something that will bring joy to another person I find to be awe inspiring ... congrats to all of you
WalkingStick	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 7:34 PM well use useually ? how ever you spell that ) Iwhen I get down I start to write more because if no one is likeing what I just made then I'll write something better that everyone will like... then no one likes that then I write more... or maybe I just write crappy music I dunno but I know that feeling your music isn't up to par is something that everyone goes through and if they haven't THEY SHOULD!

hate9wicket	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 8:13 PM There is no measuring stick, I've gone through this and am going through it now. Times I've been tempted to delete all my songs on here because my stats won't budge(did make them non live for 8 hours one day) I'll relisten to my creations and wonder if I'll ever come up with anything ever again. Then I'll remember(dude, you've just started, get a grip) I've got a lot of time, not every riff is gonna be a song, not every thought becomes lyrics, I'm not gonna like every thing I record, but someone else Might, the songs are more than us, they have their own lives, it is just our jobs to channel them out, once they are complete they are no longer ours.
