I tried to throw some of my deepest feelings in this one. I am at a turning point in life. The kind of massive priority reconsideration that is usually triggered during midlife crisis, except that I am only 22. That's bewildering as fuck. It's like when you are dancing with your 'friends' in a nightclub and you suddently sober up, while everyone else is still completely drunk. So, you feel fucking lonely with your shitty mental clarity. The only difference in my case is that there is no magic beverage to return to drunkenness. Still missing some keys to find my place in this universe, but there are 195 countries to discover, 7.9 billion souls to meet and countless professions to invent, so I am optimistic. I am grateful for having AT and all of you as travel companions, so I wish to share that with you <3
Merci mec ! No drums except kick because it did not match my feelings at that time. Now that you mention it, some soft and clear high hat or ride could be nice but I refrain myself from altering the track, as it's a photograph of a past mood :)
I’ve been having a very similar experience in my life except that I’m just 15. I’m always in question of wether I should be enjoying my “prime” years and just live as if nothing matters before I’m old and regret this time or follow my instinct and just contemplate life as if I were already old and grey while those surrounding me fail to even have a fraction of philosophical inclinations and what you put pretty accurately as “shitty mental clarity”. I guess the “midlife” rule is simply
Feel you bro, I went through what you're currently experiencing when I was your age. Adolescence is a pretty dumb and tough period. The coming years will help you to progressively clarify that :)
Stereotype and it hits people at different ages and with different levels of intensity. Regardless I’m very glad that you’ve found comfort with this community. Those pads are a hella vibe btw ;)
The thing is that it is a kind of sound painting of my mood at that time. I have already thought about changing things in the draft, but any modification would alter the painting. So, it's the same with changing the title. But I am developping this idea of life's sound painting, so it may be the title of a future track :)
not saying that a midlife crisis is a good thing but i mean i feel we all venture life with our own set of obstacles, hope u get to a more settled point and beautiful track too!
I didn't even think about the accordion when designing its sound... now that you mention it, I find the similarities amusing. Glad that it inspires you :) I don't know yet if I am lucky as the transition is pretty tough and slow, but I have hopes for the future. Thanks a lot for you comment :)
