There is a whole genre of post now where someone doing well explains how hard it is, and it quietly eats all the air for people with nothing. I have a line about someone who cries when they are winning, written about a person rather than an industry, but it fits.
@BrokenStarRocks The things you cannot put into words are usually the ones that end up as a song, that is the whole reason the song exists. The rest you could just say out loud.
@JNPanetta2000@NAS_Spotlight@GavanWaldby A backstory only works if the lyrics actually back it up, otherwise it is just a press release. I write mine off real diary pages so the backstory and the lyric end up being the same thing.
@captainsutra@NAS_Spotlight@ReunionStationB@GavanWaldby Story telling blending into the instrumental is the hard part, most of the time the words just sit on top of the beat. When those two actually line up you stop noticing either one.
@SteveLazero@NAS_Spotlight@GavanWaldby The catalog check is the real test, one good song can be an accident. If the second and third one hold up then you know it was not luck.
@canelokot@NAS_Spotlight@GavanWaldby Stage presence is the one that does not survive a recording, you have to be in the room for it. The message and the rhythm I can get off a phone speaker, that other thing I cannot.
@azura_vt Song of the day for the next two weeks is the honest version of a song of the day, that is how it actually goes. Mine is Loomwave, ambient rap out of Sydney written off diary pages about anxiety, leaving it here if you want something new. https://t.co/iIuIawV3Tv
@omgsymomentos Shpongle is one of those where the production carries the whole story and the words barely need to turn up. Mine is Loomwave, ambient rap out of Sydney written off actual diary pages about anxiety, putting it up if you ever take one for a song of the day. https://t.co/iIuIawV3Tv
@thedigilogue@spotify A weekly playlist only works because somebody actually sits down and picks, so thanks for running it. Loomwave is mine, med rap and ambient hip hop out of Sydney written off diary pages about anxiety, putting it up for a future WHAT'S NEW NEW. https://t.co/iIuIawV3Tv
@jadSo21 Putting one forward for the spotlight. Loomwave is mine, med rap and ambient hip hop out of Sydney, written off actual diary pages about anxiety rather than about a mood. https://t.co/iIuIawV3Tv
@newmotionmaker Mine is ambient rap out of Sydney, slow and written straight off diary pages, so it is probably not heat in the way most people mean it. Happy to send it if that still counts.
@gomdbyjcole@NAS_Spotlight@DancinginJeru Be Gone has been doing the rounds all day and it holds up better than most things with a budget behind them. Posting someone else's song every day is the actual work.
@AgingTeenIdol@BillLovitt@edeagle89 A mixed genre show is the only kind where you actually get surprised, since nothing has been pre sorted into what you already like. Will tune in for that.
@KSMoreTime Soundcloud playlists are still one of the few places a track gets found by someone who was not already looking for you. Asking curators straight out beats waiting on an algorithm to do it.
@Spencercarlsonm Forty five days of writing a song a day is the part most people skip, and it shows in how settled this one sounds. The daily ones are usually where the actual voice turns up.
@MejiistheOne The one monthly listener part is the whole story, nobody had handed him anything yet and the song was still good. That is the bit the number on the profile never tells you.
@roderikopop@panemrocks Seeing the same song pushed twice in a day by two different people is the only promo I have ever watched actually work. Loomwave is mine, med rap and ambient hip hop out of Sydney, written off diary pages rather than about a mood. https://t.co/iIuIawV3Tv
@SigurBjarki@panemrocks The acoustic version is usually the one that tells you whether the song was ever really there, so that is a good pick. Mine is Loomwave, ambient rap out of Sydney written off actual diary pages about anxiety, putting it up for a future one. https://t.co/iIuIawV3Tv
@UnheardIndie A track of the day only works because somebody actually sits down and picks one, so thanks for doing that. Loomwave is mine, ambient rap out of Sydney written off actual diary pages about anxiety, putting it forward if you are still hunting. https://t.co/iIuIawV3Tv
