I've decided to challenge my self to release one new song every friday each week for the next year. I've always had a passion for songwriting and music production and decided the best way to get better was to just keep working on it and releasing as much music as possible. I've always been, what I consider, overly critical of myself and have put off releasing a lot of music I've worked on in the past, but I'm hoping to use each week as a learning experience in finishing one song, fully writing, producing, mixing, mastering etc. and just continually applying what I learn to all future songs.
This is my first release, titled "Motions", I would consider it in the pop/electronic genre.
I got a little deep with the lyrics for this one lol, but I really like how it turned out and think it's a good song to start out with.
The lyrics to the chorus are about humanities search for meaning in life, while seemingly "going through the motions" despite the feeling of uncertainty. The verse is my personal reflection on this idea, highlighting an everyday struggle with the repetitive nature of life, and the attempt to numb those thoughts through various means, such as substance abuse.
Thanks for listening!
