you're so talented whoever doesn't appreciate your music probably does not understand music at all. your videos are so well done and I'm sure you're gonna get so much more success on TH-cam! Lots of love and success to you!
That's a bold statement. You are allowed to not appreciate something even if you comprehend it. A lot of people understand and respect the artistry and musicality of metal bands and songs, yet don't appreciate metal as a genre. I'm not saying anything about this video or channel, just pointing out how toxic this kind of rethoric CAN be.
I don’t like it, not because its bad but because it’s really not my kind of music. I like symphonic, progressive and Neo classic metal so it was very unlikely that I would like. Way too simple for my taste. But I’m sure people that like hip hop/beat might like it and good for them and good for him. There is an audience for everything. And he did put some effort into it, had a nice Zelda Song Of Storm segment, and it was original with his “instruments”. Because I don’t like doesn’t mean he doesn’t have talent and it doesn’t mean that I don’t know anything about music either.
The final song is great, the lyrics are profound and honest. The whole process is inspiring! Thanks for sharing and keep writing music! I can identify with the experience of being ambitious and unable to keep up with your own expectations. It's not the people who doesn't like your music: it's you! You haven't accepted your own process. Be patient and supportive with your own self and things will come through time. You are already sounding great.
This was so good and perhaps one the most inspiring videos I've seen for a while. Your song was awesome too, with my only gripe being that it ended. You can bet I dropped a like and subscribed!
Dude, we are definitely cut from the same cloth! After a nice mid-summer rain. find yourself one of those millimetre-deep sidewalk puddles, and bounce a basketball into it - in tempo. Boom! One of the greatest snare drums ever!
It's absolutely mind-blowing how almost everything makes sound. And with today's tools, you can make anything sound like anything. Pretty wild stuff! You could easily make a sweet basketball beat using the ball, the rim, the net, and the backboard. I'm thinking of doing some videos like that.
Nice work - guessed the wineglass! Its always a tough decision about how much to just do your own thing and how much to "target" and audience. These are the best times ever to be able to focus in option one, even if it rarely pays.
The TH-cam game is interesting because when I force myself out of my comfort zone to make an engaging video or try a new concept, my first instinct is to resist it. But eventually, I always end up finding the fun and creating something I'm proud of- and I learn a lot during the process.
Practally therapy. You did NOT waste your suffering! You accepted the pain and wounds and transformed them into tools that yielded musical results. Those results provide a life lesson to live meaningfully despite one’s experience of despair.
no need to mention how skilled of a musician you are, but you lyrics was phenomenal. Its hard to describe in words how authentic and great the lyrics was! blown away by your talent! the word talent here sounds a bit cheap! Lets put it this way. blown away by your work!
I can't thank ya enough for the love and support! Ever since I've been doin' the TH-cam thing I've been putting more effort into the lyrics. So glad to hear you enjoyed them!
Hello, thanks for sharing. Not trying to moralize or lecture, there is something I will choose to share about "insecurities/inadequacies." "Opinions are like @sses, everyone has one." Often, negative feedback coming from others are based on jealousy or "feeling of threat" and fears that what you do may be more interesting than what "he" does. Someone once said to me: "You are what you think you are." This simple thought helped me change my life as a musician/composer. Like you, I also had (and still have) "insecurities" but this is healthy and normal. It helps us to always try to do better but the most important is to continue to write music and to put your soul into it. Another tip, it is also important to spread good vibes, funny messages. Being like that brings people to be around. Stay safe and continue doing nice things.
I really appreciate this insight and I love the quote "you are what you think you are." Another one I love is, "You wouldn't worry so much what people think of you if you realized how little they do."
You're an extraordinary musician...such a great artist!!! Who fu****ING cares about haters??? They know nothing! They are lost within their own selves; trapped inside their own selfishness and misery! May God help them and open both their hearts and minds!❤❤❤ God bless your talent! I love all the things you do... and the unique away of your doing them!!!❤❤❤
@@songsbyspencer My pleasure! And you deserve the praise and the prizes too...I would give you "An American Music Award" or a "GRAMMY"...If I just could..!🤔🤩🤩🤩❤️🤗
You have a lot of things really going for you. Your video planning, editing, pacing, lighting, etc. are all on point. Your ability to utilize the things around you to create is also superb. Your hard work and never say die attitude are super important and you nail it there. Your lyrics and the emotions behind them are top notch. Your note progression is also enticing and catchy. Then you have the things that are good but average. This area includes things like the repetitiveness of your music. That is the main drawback to looping. Something that can help with this is adding dynamics and playing 2nd and 3rd takes for each loop that are each different from one another. The difference can be a single note or the whole loop line. Then weave in the different options for each loop to accent parts of the song. Last we have the area that needs the most work, vocals. The notes you chose are fine but you failed to hit several of them. Some notes you are right on. Others you get close or even hit it but then fall flat immediately. Others still you start flat and end flat. The main area this seems to come into effect is on the highest note of each phrase, even if it is well within your range. The only thing I can think of without working with you is that you are anticipating the next note which is lower and your voice is following before it should. Be sure to focus on each note as its own note, neither effected but what is before it or by what is after it. Then, when each note is dialed in you can focus on phrasing. I hope this helps. I like where you are going with things and hope to hear more. P.S. if this isn’t helpful ignore it.
I don't usually write a lot of comments. But here I have to write in support of the channel. Dude you inspire people from the other side of the globe. Best wishes from Ukraine
I love watching people coming up with wacky ideas like this and then implementing that into their musical creations. This whole thing makes me come to think about foley artists. It’s sort of like mixing a foley artist and a musical composer into one in order to create something unique. It was very interesting and entertaining to watch. Thank you and keep up the great work.
I'm a full-time filmmaker (my day job) and the work of foley artists is unbelievable to me. They are definitely the unsung heroes of the film industry. Sound is half of what you experience when you watch something, but most people don't think about it like that. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for checking it out!!
Hey Spencer! That was truly enjoyable and engaging watching your process. But far more than that, I appreciate your message. You've clearly overcome some obstacles and remain true to your process and your art. I have struggled for a long time in 'just starting' to create music for many of the reasons and circumstances you touch on. Thanks for sharing your message and creativity. It has definitely given me some momentum to get after it! Now...off to grab the guitar! Take care.
Your story has touched someone in the heart who's music used to get laughed at and this has inspired me to push harder. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video!
Extremely good!! Incidentally Last week I spent an evening in the garden making percussion sounds with paving slabs, sticks, compost bin and corrugated iron. Lots of fun making a beat from it. Next melodic sounds. Thanks for the inspiration!
Big Cat Dude. I got lots of Cats sounds including them walking along my Piano. Kenny Werner's Book is a good read...meditations are on Paw Music...in a play list. Kenny is a Boss on these things Spencer. My siblings laugh at my goals and belittle me for even having a dream or a "goal" so I know at least in a miniscule way how you feel. This is excellent and you always inspire me Spencer. Another top song and inspiration, thanks always.
Cats are the best! I like dogs but I definitely prefer the felines. I have 4 of them. Isley, (my favorite) is the cat in this video. He's the best pet I've ever had!
@@songsbyspencer Great for Musicians as Dogs are hard to play a lot of music. I have Leah and Bixby a Mum and her Boy! Loki passed on he was the best Cat and I was blessed to have him
Great, someone with your musicality can turn everything into real, honest music, love it ❤ And maybe it's more of envy when someone tells you that your music ain't worth anything, keep up, you're awesome 👍🎶🎹
Thank you so much for the kind words! I dunno if it's creative genius, probably more persistence than anything. I wrote ALOT of terrible songs before I figured out how to write halfway decent ones!
Absolutely love your work brother! Truly inspirational, educational and genuinely amazing content. The message about feeling of inadequacy in your creative work hits home and was something I faced a lot. Youre crushign it bro, just keep going! Much love.
Very strong video. I like how you're telling your story and just making solid songs while doing Andrew Huang style projects that just work on TH-cam. I predict this channel is going to grow. By a lot.
I feel like the universe has been sending me so much love today. Ive been in a negative place for the past week and normally i spend my day like a lot of people, looking at random stuff to distract myself from how i feel. Well ive been doing that, but new videos, artists, creators, etc have been comming my way. I feel inspired by your video and your message. It is so easy to give up. Its so much harder to push on and fight to be who you are no matter what. I normally would watch this and move on, but i feel called to write this comment to let you know that there is support out there. It seems you know that. Being that you’ve been struggling on this journey for a long time. Like you said, there is an audience out there for you. And everyone. As long as youre following your heart. But i still want to say that i support you. Ive never watched a single video by you until today and now i feel moved and called to support you and go after my own insecurities and try to do them any way. Thank you for your work, your life, your message, your struggle, and your openess and sharing of it all. You are so strong in your vulnerability. Thank you!
Ever since I started the TH-cam channel I've been really working hard at my lyrics since I know people are listening. I greatly appreciate you checking it out and being supportive!
Great stuff - the final result, making instruments and sentiment. For a moment I was a bit worried you'd hit the kitty with a spoon to get an interesting sample. ;)
I am over here sampling your entire catalog on a Saturday morning, and Jesus Christ on a Scooter! This is unbelievably sensational in every possible way! I have enjoyed and been inspired by each video I've watched thus far, and this one is astonishing! This is TOO GOOD! Thanks for sharing, Spencer, and keep crushin' it, my man. Only you control your destiny! Your time in the spotlight is coming soon. . . Believe the hype. Damn, this song is TOO GOOD!🔥😮💨💎
@@songsbyspencer You are welcome! I found the layering, "huge sound" video to be extra helpful. Keep them coming! All people will blitz your channel soon, if they want to produce better music, because your approach to recording quality music is first-class. Most other channels can not match your instructional videos, so it's just a matter of time. . . Just an idea: I can see you crushing a 50s style Rock/Pop/Doo Wop song while making it your own with the perfect touch of modern-a really catchy tune using multiple instruments strategically. Your vocals suit that sound well. Give it a try! Why not?
Hey man love the song, as a novice song maker/writer myself, I would most certainty appreciate advice on making vocal melodies if you could spare it. Many thanks.
First video I've seen of yours. The song is great. TH-cam is great for really getting an inside look at stuff but I think the mystery of just hearing a song and knowing nothing about the artist is something I miss too.
The coolest is when you discover the song first, and then learn about the behind the scenes of it. That old show "Classic Albums" was awesome for that reason. I'd fall in love with an album and then see how it happened. Pretty sweet!
Your music is very well done, definitely as polished as anything on the radio. And the fact that it's just you making this music is all the more crazy. Anyways, I have a suggestion/idea, I think it would be cool for you to do a series where you create a song for different genres and sub-genres of pop and rock music (I personally love post-punk and its related sub-genres, but you could do many different styles, like funk, punk, blues/blues rock, EDM, classic rock, dream pop, alternative pop, etc.), because it'd be really interesting to see what kind of cool stuff you could come up with.
I plan on doing more videos like your idea! I did a Country Song and an Acapella song for the first time in past videos. It's fun trying a new style. You learn so much and it forces you to gain respect for the genre, even if it isn't your cup of tea.
@Songs By Spencer - I watched most of this video admittedly from the thumbnail, until you played your song at the end and I then felt compelled to drop by and give you a big thumbs up mate. Stay strong, people will only like you if you fit inside their box, so never be afraid to shove that box right up their.... Ya get he idea! 😉🤣
@@songsbyspencer I can't read music for shit tbh, but I have learned a lot playing with software synths and following videos like yours. Keep up the good work, us numb-nuts appreciate the effort.
Wow. That is so creative. You’ve really inspired me. And good advice too. Keep on doing what you’re doing. Some great rhymes there especially in the rap. Thanks for sharing. Subbed.
I don't even like this kind of music, and I think it dam awesome. I love it! I think it would even with some understated simplistic guitar in the back ground. IMHO. Keep up the good work!
True stuff.... I think you're pretty good from the looks of it.. I can only imagine how it has impacted your self esteem after being this good overall musically and at experimentation
There's a part of me that is bitter that I haven't gotten further than I am. But at the same time I check myself because I know for every person who works as hard as I do, there are 100 others who work even harder. The more I work at this, the more I learn that there is no perfect song and no perfect musician. It's all about the journey and I'm so grateful to just be able to write and record music. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment, it helps and it means alot!
@@songsbyspencer I always compete with myself. Not even close to what you play and articulate but that's not making me feel bad about myself. Competition often creeps up on us best way is to focus on what we have in front of us and how much we have evolved take a note of that always.
Great stuff Spencer! Really enjoyed this tune. As a fellow TH-camr I have to say I am so impressed with the amount of work you put into each video. It’s one thing to make a video, graphics, story - but to also compose an entire song each time. Props! Also, loved the rap 🙌🏼 keep it up
Thanks for the kudos, John! I love your content by the way. I'm a full-time filmmaker (my company is LoudKid Films), so camera reviews, tips and tricks are always so helpful. I learned everything I know from people like you on TH-cam!
Your content is inspiring, your songs are great, and your honesty is touching and sincere I love your ideas, and your unusual style. You are always a treat to watch
I'm shocked that there aren't more comments about the musical easter eggs in this track. Really cool stuff! Would love to hear if some tearing paper would work as a hihat accent or maybe even a ride?
The possibilities are endless! But yeah I thought more people would catch the Legend Of Zelda reference. But as I said in the lyrics, "only the real ones know!"
Keep making music man. You've got talent. I'm a musician as well and suffer from the same self doubt at times. I keep doing it because I love it though. I will never stop and neither should you. Besides the more you keep writing and playing the better it will become. We don't notice our own growth as it's happening but go back and listen to your older stuff. You will see how much you have improved and you might revisit some old ideas worth remaking now that you're more experienced.
You're dead on and thank you for sharing your insights! I was thinking of doing a video where I take old crappy songs I wrote years ago and try to rework them to make them good. Maybe I will!
I love your work, both the videos and the songs that come out. I can't tell you have been working at this a long time and I'm trying to learn how to break down song making in the beautiful way you have here. ^_^
I try to explain how to write a song a little bit in each video but it's hard to really break down the process since it's an art. I know for a fact that everybody can do it though! Just keep on jamming and you'll keep getting better.
I alwats enjoy your videos and music! Your content is so well produced, and the lyrics are very meaningful! People can be rough at times, but I've always equated it to them being insecure and projecting it onto other people
I think you were that guy that was in a band back in the day that had a song or two on the radio, keep inspiring and helping everyone to think outside of the box

Very personal lyrics, thank you for being so open.
you're so talented whoever doesn't appreciate your music probably does not understand music at all. your videos are so well done and I'm sure you're gonna get so much more success on TH-cam! Lots of love and success to you!
I'm so grateful for your support. It is incredibly encouraging and gives me the courage I need to keep going on the TH-cam journey. Thanks!
That's a bold statement. You are allowed to not appreciate something even if you comprehend it. A lot of people understand and respect the artistry and musicality of metal bands and songs, yet don't appreciate metal as a genre. I'm not saying anything about this video or channel, just pointing out how toxic this kind of rethoric CAN be.
I don’t like it, not because its bad but because it’s really not my kind of music. I like symphonic, progressive and Neo classic metal so it was very unlikely that I would like.

Because I don’t like doesn’t mean he doesn’t have talent and it doesn’t mean that I don’t know anything about music either.
@@zynosgd9982 yes I agree that’s what I meant.
I heard that Song of Storms you snuck in there ;)
Good stuff, keep going if it brings you joy!
Your editing and pacing is fantastic, and not only that but your music skills are on point too
I call this "foley artist writes a song" 😅
this is such a cool way to build instrument sounds
It's guaranteed to be unique too, which counts for quite a bit for me. I love music with character!
you are such an inspiration. i wasn't expecting such a deep message behind a song written with random household objects lol.
It's all about the message!
I Love this kind of experimental creativity!
The final song is great, the lyrics are profound and honest. The whole process is inspiring! Thanks for sharing and keep writing music! I can identify with the experience of being ambitious and unable to keep up with your own expectations. It's not the people who doesn't like your music: it's you! You haven't accepted your own process. Be patient and supportive with your own self and things will come through time. You are already sounding great.
This was so good and perhaps one the most inspiring videos I've seen for a while. Your song was awesome too, with my only gripe being that it ended. You can bet I dropped a like and subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Appreciate that!!
Now if only Pink Floyd had just as easy access to samplers and a DAW back in the early 70’s… I would like to see the same done with tape alone 😉
It would be crazy to hear. At the same time I'm glad they did what they did when they did it. Wouldn't wanna risk that epic discography!
I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time. This was awesome and I love that you used the song of storms during the vocal break.
You’re definitely going to have a lot of subscribers on TH-cam. Your videos are perfect in terms of quality and content.

Glad you enjoyed it, Vincent!
Wow. So creative. You are very talented. This song really worked so well. I love your lyrics. You are a gifted wordsmith for sure.
Ever since I started the TH-cam channel I've been really working hard at my lyrics since I know people are listening. I greatly appreciate you checking it out and being supportive!
Woooow. I've yet to NOT be blown away by one of your videos.
Thank you so much! I'll do my best to keep that going!
I like how around 7:38 he plays part of the Song Storms from Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Great reference!
Majora's Mask is one of the best games of all time. The story, gameplay, and music are all phenomenal. Those games played a huge part in my childhood!
Love your videos, thank you for opening yourself up, being a musician and being real isn't an easy thing to do.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate you appreciating the realness!
You rock dude! Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
Great stuff - the final result, making instruments and sentiment. For a moment I was a bit worried you'd hit the kitty with a spoon to get an interesting sample. ;)
I thought about that yesterday- making a song just using my cat. But to get the sounds that might be animal abuse lol
Superstar!! Great stuff dude!! You're NOT doing anything wrong!!! You are super duper inspiring! Looking forward to hearing much much more from you!!
I can't thank ya enough for the support! Thank you
I have just been blown away...I really had no idea how talented this guy is....I feel like I need to get back into jamming again ...
DO IT! I wanna here William The Driller!
I am over here sampling your entire catalog on a Saturday morning, and Jesus Christ on a Scooter! This is unbelievably sensational in every possible way!
I have enjoyed and been inspired by each video I've watched thus far, and this one is astonishing! This is TOO GOOD!
Thanks for sharing, Spencer, and keep crushin' it, my man. Only you control your destiny! Your time in the spotlight is coming soon. . . Believe the hype.
Damn, this song is TOO GOOD!🔥😮💨💎
So glad you're enjoying the content! It means the world to me, thank you so much!
@@songsbyspencer You are welcome! I found the layering, "huge sound" video to be extra helpful. Keep them coming!
All people will blitz your channel soon, if they want to produce better music, because your approach to recording quality music is first-class.
Most other channels can not match your instructional videos, so it's just a matter of time. . .
Just an idea: I can see you crushing a 50s style Rock/Pop/Doo Wop song while making it your own with the perfect touch of modern-a really catchy tune using multiple instruments strategically. Your vocals suit that sound well. Give it a try! Why not?
Really great video and we loved the finished song!
You are so talented and your videos always inspire me. Simply one of the best music production channels on TH-cam!
That's quite the compliment! Thank you so much it means a lot
oh man, another banger song. one of my absolute favorite channels. very inspiring!
I appreciate that more than ya know, Robert! Thanks for watching!!!
Hey man love the song, as a novice song maker/writer myself, I would most certainty appreciate advice on making vocal melodies if you could spare it.
Many thanks.
First video I've seen of yours. The song is great. TH-cam is great for really getting an inside look at stuff but I think the mystery of just hearing a song and knowing nothing about the artist is something I miss too.
The coolest is when you discover the song first, and then learn about the behind the scenes of it. That old show "Classic Albums" was awesome for that reason. I'd fall in love with an album and then see how it happened. Pretty sweet!
If you blow into a bottle with moe force it is possible to get an octave or more higher sound (depending on the speed of the airflow.)
Your music is very well done, definitely as polished as anything on the radio. And the fact that it's just you making this music is all the more crazy. Anyways, I have a suggestion/idea, I think it would be cool for you to do a series where you create a song for different genres and sub-genres of pop and rock music (I personally love post-punk and its related sub-genres, but you could do many different styles, like funk, punk, blues/blues rock, EDM, classic rock, dream pop, alternative pop, etc.), because it'd be really interesting to see what kind of cool stuff you could come up with.
I plan on doing more videos like your idea! I did a Country Song and an Acapella song for the first time in past videos. It's fun trying a new style. You learn so much and it forces you to gain respect for the genre, even if it isn't your cup of tea.
@@songsbyspencer That sounds cool, can't wait to hear what you come up with!
You are an inspiration my friend. No doubt.
Excellent work!!!
@Songs By Spencer - I watched most of this video admittedly from the thumbnail, until you played your song at the end and I then felt compelled to drop by and give you a big thumbs up mate. Stay strong, people will only like you if you fit inside their box, so never be afraid to shove that box right up their.... Ya get he idea! 😉🤣
So glad you dig it and thanks for the support!
@@songsbyspencer I can't read music for shit tbh, but I have learned a lot playing with software synths and following videos like yours. Keep up the good work, us numb-nuts appreciate the effort.
Wow. That is so creative. You’ve really inspired me. And good advice too. Keep on doing what you’re doing. Some great rhymes there especially in the rap. Thanks for sharing. Subbed.
Appreciate it!!!
I don't even like this kind of music, and I think it dam awesome. I love it! I think it would even with some understated simplistic guitar in the back ground. IMHO. Keep up the good work!
Will do and thank you!!
Wonderful
true inspiration in every way ❤
True stuff.... I think you're pretty good from the looks of it.. I can only imagine how it has impacted your self esteem after being this good overall musically and at experimentation
There's a part of me that is bitter that I haven't gotten further than I am. But at the same time I check myself because I know for every person who works as hard as I do, there are 100 others who work even harder. The more I work at this, the more I learn that there is no perfect song and no perfect musician. It's all about the journey and I'm so grateful to just be able to write and record music. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment, it helps and it means alot!
@@songsbyspencer I always compete with myself. Not even close to what you play and articulate but that's not making me feel bad about myself. Competition often creeps up on us best way is to focus on what we have in front of us and how much we have evolved take a note of that always.
Inspiration is a dose we need daily.
No doubt!
Super engaging video Spencer & a certified banger as always!
I appreciate that!
It sounds great! I like the Zelda "Song of Storms" reference around 7:38.
You are one of the real ones!!
Great ! So cool when your wrapped up in one instrument you can loose the picture ! This is cool
Thanks for the kudos! I really appreciate it
Good thing that you didn't let other people's negative mind hinder your music ! You rocks !
Any negativity is just fuel for the fire!
I suffered bells palsy during a band practice. Thought I'd had a stroke.
That's crazy! Your bandmates were probably thinking their face melting guitar solos literally melted your face!
Great stuff Spencer! Really enjoyed this tune. As a fellow TH-camr I have to say I am so impressed with the amount of work you put into each video. It’s one thing to make a video, graphics, story - but to also compose an entire song each time. Props!
Also, loved the rap 🙌🏼 keep it up
Thanks for the kudos, John! I love your content by the way. I'm a full-time filmmaker (my company is LoudKid Films), so camera reviews, tips and tricks are always so helpful. I learned everything I know from people like you on TH-cam!
Nice job. I love found sound.
F*cking awesome!
You're a fu**in' GENIUS, man! THUMBS UP!!
I appreciate it!
@@songsbyspencer You deserve a lot of respect.
Crying and weeping 🥺🥺🥺
Thanks for this Spencer, really inspiring!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! Your truly talented and cool man, thank you.
And thank you for the support! This inspires me like you wouldn't believe. It's a game of inspiration volleyball
Your content is inspiring, your songs are great, and your honesty is touching and sincere
I love your ideas, and your unusual style. You are always a treat to watch
I appreciate it!
I'm shocked that there aren't more comments about the musical easter eggs in this track. Really cool stuff! Would love to hear if some tearing paper would work as a hihat accent or maybe even a ride?
The possibilities are endless! But yeah I thought more people would catch the Legend Of Zelda reference. But as I said in the lyrics, "only the real ones know!"
Keep making music man. You've got talent. I'm a musician as well and suffer from the same self doubt at times. I keep doing it because I love it though. I will never stop and neither should you. Besides the more you keep writing and playing the better it will become. We don't notice our own growth as it's happening but go back and listen to your older stuff. You will see how much you have improved and you might revisit some old ideas worth remaking now that you're more experienced.
You're dead on and thank you for sharing your insights! I was thinking of doing a video where I take old crappy songs I wrote years ago and try to rework them to make them good. Maybe I will!
I would like to like it twice!!!!
I love your work, both the videos and the songs that come out. I can't tell you have been working at this a long time and I'm trying to learn how to break down song making in the beautiful way you have here. ^_^
I try to explain how to write a song a little bit in each video but it's hard to really break down the process since it's an art. I know for a fact that everybody can do it though! Just keep on jamming and you'll keep getting better.
@@songsbyspencer thanks man, your encouragement means a lot! I'll keep working at the craft and hopefully I get to jam with you someday! 🤩
I alwats enjoy your videos and music! Your content is so well produced, and the lyrics are very meaningful!
People can be rough at times, but I've always equated it to them being insecure and projecting it onto other people
There's not doubt about it. Nobody worth their salt gives unwarranted harsh criticism!
I think you were that guy that was in a band back in the day that had a song or two on the radio, keep inspiring and helping everyone to think outside of the box
Love that song of storms reference in there. 10 out of 10.
You sir, are one of the real ones!
Love the message! 😉
Very nice man! Very nice! Keep up the great work!!
Will do, Wayne!
I love how Zelda did sneak in
It takes someone at the bottom of the pit to try and pull you down into their misery, my friend. Great job! 💪😎👍
There's no doubt about it! Thanks for the love and support
