I'm weirdly deeply invested, like I've got decent headphones, I've composed songs before, I've played two instruments, and like someone else posted, I've also implemented my own music player program.
But man, I struggle with feeling it as art. I don't know, if that's a case of music-maker being snobby about everyone else's music, while being too critical of their own music. Maybe my expectations are just too high.
Like, I'm trying to create lyric-less music where I feel a meaning. And at times, I'm amazed that I can evoke the sense of snowfall. But at many other times, it just sounds paperthin to me, and I still haven't managed to really portray a deeper meaning.
Maybe I'm just frustrated, because poems come more naturally to me (and yes, I am dense for not adding lyrics to my songs 🫠).
