@mykie also, I'm neurodivergent, and I need to be touched by a song, with or without lyrics. But in particular, if there are lyrics, then I tend to get whether the artist has added them for a reason or just as another musical component. Sometimes I do enjoy the rhythm, the sound of the words even without following a meaning — most times, if they don't give me emotion, I leave. The fact that I need a message might be idiosyncratic, but I don't expect it to be a universal rule.

@m2m In my opinion, the most important thing is to write music first and foremost for yourself, because you, as a composer, have the tools and the power to write almost the most accurate soundtrack of your thoughts. If you don't like your own work, even if not in terms of quality, but in terms of conveying experience, then either you didn't write sincerely enough at the time, or you changed and "grew out of it" yourself. :ablobthinkingeyes:

Couldn't agree more: > Corporate language is filled with metaphors of war. Companies “conquer” the market, they “capture” mindshare, they “target” customers, they employ a sales “force”, they hire “head-hunters”, they “destroy” the competition, they pick their “battles”, and make a “killing”. That’s an awful paradigm and we want nothing to do with it. Work isn’t war. We come in peace.

@m2m It's great that I often stumble upon something unexpected in the fediverse like this. In addition to being comfortable using #Basecamp products, I am also deeply sympathetic to the ideas they promote in their books and publications. Also: surprisingly, despite the fact that I often log in to their service via this domain, I haven't bothered to look at what exactly is hosted on it. It reads in the same breath and looks super stylish and minimalistic. |
