awesome video. and sometimes that perspective of the larger picture is all that is needed. Before this year I'd spend weeks, months working on one section of a song, all the small inaudible precise details. only to the abandon the project and never end the song. now I've found by quickly laying out the whole track from start to finish (even if things will move around and change) allows me to focus on the whole song and actually finish something instead of mindlessly tweaking a single section forever
Also I'm a long time (ish) I've followed the channel for the last 2-4 years, love the videos, surprised to aren't way larger of a channel, but it seems you are finally getting close to getting those bigger subscribers. But from watching you, I think you have it right; You love to make these videos, you can be proud of them(they are really good), if you keep it up more people will notice. Keep on keepin on. A working class hero is something to be.
As you said " I have no perspective" that is my wheel house. Also I'm a tabletop dungeon master, and will say your story is exactly true for the TTRPG space as well, lots of dungeon masters prepare too much and when it comes time to improvise, "just believe" make it to the best of your preparation and believe. Like the matrix quote "He's starting to believe" Not that I have made it in the music industry...but I have made songs I love, I've made tabletop storys that I love...and it'd be nice to be successful in this "endgame capitalism" that we find ourselves in, its not why I did it. Just do it for the love of what you are doing and you CAN NOT FAIL. Why can't you fail, because the goal is to do something you are proud of, and that is all in control of your own mindset...and it will help you feel free.
So I'ma 43 yo former anarchist punk, moved to leftist older family man punk, but I hold the punk ideals true. I am one of those 2 people in the 98 of 100 that pick 8 minutes...if you just throw yourself at something, let yourself love just a chord and let it go to the next chord, and then scream at the next one with improv lyrics(I've been in like 8 failed bands, 1 of which got close to success) some of my best work. However in my old age(for a punk I've lived past the time I thought I would) now I take an approach of "write fast, rework, reiterate, reiterate reiterate" which I think is best...also the motto "Write drunk, Edit Sober" The best ideas come as a whim and are ephemeral, but most of the time only the seed is great, and it needs to be watered and fed. Great video...I'm rambling.
Brilliant analysis and thanks for sharing. You have decoupled time invested from results.
Great story telling to understand the ingenuity behind the making of art in the form of sound!

That’s a really cool perspective and approach. I love how your ideals shaped your process. ‘Write drunk, edit sober’ made me smile 😁
This is so interesting 😮😮! But also seeing the progress in the quality of your videos 🎉🎉 keep making art
