There's a Moose loose about this house!! What a fun and lovely boy❤❤❤

Great video! as someone going on the same journey id love to see more.👍

Well done! Keep going hopefully in a year, like you said, you can look back at all this and be thankful for it

I’m an illustrator and graphic designer who’s just beginning to learn how to do music, and I feel that I needed a video like this. I remember reading Steal Like an Artist many years ago and it made me try different art styles that I loved until I found one to call “mine”. But I forgot abt the book and I didn’t think for a second that it could be applied to music as well, this opens a lot of doors. So thank you for this!

I think if the prod you like is big-hearted, but your voice is "different," you could try and blend the two. Like, that BLEND could make up your voice, no?

I’ve always thought that good artists copy great artists steal means that a great artists will turn anything they take into their own, Stealing it and making it theirs now borrowing someone else’s thing. It’s not advice really just the way it is

This is a good video and seeing the song building process, autopsy and then finished product is a great format! Inspiring my friend. Keep doing this!

This was so inspiring, the beats you made truly sounded so good !! Can’t wait to see more of your progress !

I spent a long time thinking I'm shit.. Still sometimes do, what changed is I just don't really care about people seeing that too anymore. I make stuff, I post it, I put between minimal and maximal effort in but! Every so often I have a gem in the rough and over time it's getting better. I'm 23 and I get down and out about being too late but that's so untrue! All to say, you got this keep going :)

This video is really cool and interesting and I quite like some of the music you've made here, I know your not asking for constructive criticism but i do have a few thoughts about your songs. I think the main issue in your production is you don't lean enough into the inherent lofi nature of the way your recording. It felt like in some of these songs you were striving for a professional sound that you admire in the artists you look up to but you never quite achieve it, but there are many great albums made just in a bedroom with a guitar. And if you lean more into it kinda sounding bad I think you'll find a sound that is more fitting to the environment in which you are making music, instead of trying to sound like something your not. Keep it up though, I'm excited to see where you end up.

We all try to make music that sounds good, and we are all influenced by music we've heard before that we liked. All music is derivative, even when we don't consciously TRY to steal, because the stuff we make will always be influenced by the stuff we've heard before. Whenever you hear someone say they are trying to create completely original art from scratch, know that that person is very likely still a bit of an amateur, or hasn't thought all that deeply about their work.

As a musician who has played live for 12+ years and recorded several projects with bands, this video spoke to me in a moment that I needed to see it. I've been working on a solo project with myself writing, performing, and producing everything, but have been hitting serious creative roadblocks and frustrations with the quality of my output. I think I needed to hear this from someone else. Helped me take a step back from the project and look at it from a high level. Best of luck on your journey.

😅 I listened to Ginger Root's old music, and it was always good.

this is incredibly inspiring & i’m a little embarrassed to admit i teared up a little from the hilarity of how simple it could be😭. i’ve taken the plunge on making a song for about a month now (just as like a personal project yk?), starting from basically zero with childhood piano practice as my only musical background. i’ve read a ton of books, listened to lectures, and thoroughly studied the music i want to make, but i get really frustrated sitting in front of a blank flp. i’ve been having to get to grips with the irrationally high standard i’ve set for myself and my stubbornness to not be derivative in any way with what i want to make, all while having literally 0hrs in the songwriting process, so it really hit me like a truck to hear how you were able to take elements from all these great songs and still maintain your own artistic integrity (especially with that riff you made on your own!). i guess i really should be more familiarized with the idea of stealing like an artist, considering i’ve been drawing/painting my whole life and i’ve also made it decently far in other creative avenues like video editing, but idontknow loll. so glad this got recommended randomly and i can’t thank you enough for this tbh <4

Great purchase, looking forward to some more typewritwer videos 💙

Man i need a type writer 😭 i rlly want one

Mate, you’re killing it. I recently had to go back to mums and during that time I was going crazy. It’s really interesting to see you flourish in these circumstances, where as for me, i lost my routine and all momentum stopped. Keep it up Alex, you’re smashing it.

you’re inspiring bro

Big ups mate, great video

Love this style of content, keep em comin brother❤

Dude I’m also just starting to make music and I love this idea/format for showing your journey, and steps taken while learning, I’ve never been one for recording videos of the process, but I think it’s a great insight, and I might have to give it a go! Very inspiring

i am going to steal from you

He is very handsome

Another STEM dude looking for creative outlet here! Love to see you putting out early work, most people only ever show such high level production and it's demoralising. Ive wanted to make some content like this about learning stuff but never found the time. Love the song at 17:00, thats a bop. I have some mates who do music seriously and they absolutely do this to at least start new songs, its a great idea. One thing ive tried and enjoyed is taking from like 5 songs on one album and making a song that would fit the original album, its cool to nail an existing style!

Cool video idea, really think you could take the opener idea somewhere interesting. Something I like to do, which is similar to this is to make a full cover of a simpler song and add my own new vocal harmonies or instrumentation.

Getting back to the roots!🙌

I am really glad I found this channel, it's really good

I love this man, keep it up!

Amazing video, sometimes a bit long for my internet fried brain, but love the Frankensteining vibes and i think it just makes everything sound so much more grounded and real, love it

I use this type of method a lot. Usually it’s a bit hard for me to come up with anything original when I do it with music I listen to regularly though. I like to take songs that I enjoy but don’t listen to a lot, make a bass line or something over it, then build from there with elements from stuff I do listen to. I’ve been working on a spooky project recently so I decided to take inspiration from classical music. I added elements of the punk and emo stuff I typically listen to and it turned out really cool and unique

Eu me sinto como você, amigo! Também sou extremamente crítico com o que crio, mas sei exatamente o que gosto e o que admiro em outros artistas. Let's create and be happy!

Interesting way to write songs. I believe that nearly all songwriting is interpolating to a degree, some songs more than others. But I believe musicians should all embrace this instinct because it only adds to the aforementioned inspiration, creating more dialogue in the conversation of music. Cool video dude, keep it up!

I don't make music myself, but I found this fascinating and I'm probably gonna apply it to the art that I make. Lovely video!

Really enjoyed this video. The honesty is what kept me engaged ❤

Don't know anything about music really but as a fellow creative, keep it up mate!🤘

This needs to hit 1k views!! 🍚🍰💥

Congrats on pushing through and making some great progress!

Beautiful dog 🐕

What mic did you use for the vocals? Great vid!

man, every song is brilliant. you can really hear and appreciate the raw artistic idea behind each track. you may feel like its nothing, but i would be thanking the algorithm if it just popped up on my spotify! you have a long road ahead of you, so enjoy the ride and dont sweat the lyrics too much. keep putting things out into the world. 🌍

looking forward to the next vid :))

I like the song around 2:30! not sure about these lyrics though haha. interested to see where you go from here :)

so cool to see your progress! I loved getting to hear about what you were focusing on learning in each song, and the songs are so good!

I loved this lol Happy you enjoyed Disappearances of Draco Malfoy! It's one of my favourites, the ron side quest is so good

I think you could make THIS process your expression? Or at least a springboard. Im looking at making a seperate channel about this too. Doing anything to keep the only ember in my soul from being snuffed by fast living.

Fully supported. Self-improvement got in the way of self-care. Subscribed.

Hey brother, I also feel like this sometime but I want to clarify few things 1) making scripted video is not bad, you actually provide something more valuable to other when you plan, script for some one. And of cource if you don't plan properly nobody will watch, even you will not watch your own video Scripting = respecting time of other people = people give you view in return of that respect 2) I guess there are very few people who understand you properly , and im also in search of accountability partner , who is in similar situation like me, we both will be accountable to each other and help each other for achiving goal . would you like to be my accountability partner

Did you read all of those fics?

he's a good boy
