Demo: I Miss You More Than You Will Ever Know

Experimenting with some Lo-Fi/Video Game/Nostalgic vibes. I thought this turned out pretty cool!

Lyrics:

Hoping that you have a good time

Since you went and wasted mine

Counting years like 1,2,3,5

Wishing you would call sometime

Explain yourself, even if it's hard to hear

It broke me down so bad, it's crazy that I'm still here

Hey! Based on feedback from yall I put my camera more in front of me when filming today. Let me know if it's better :D I recorded a breakdown of Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" since it was the most streamed song 2024. Trying to get ahead with filming some stuff.

The new quiz with Troy did pretty well view wise, so probably looking to do more like that. I think Troy and I have a great vibe, might bring in Gabi Belle too for the next one, she expressed she really enjoyed it. If the sched...

Demo: Stopping By

EDIT 2: Added more vocals & Did some minor mixing to make it less messy. Still need to record proper vocals for adlibs & probably add some more backing vocals. Then it's production time, then mix, then master :)

EDIT: Updated with full length version!

I posted a clip from this on Instagram and some of you wanted a version on here, so here you go! Still early stages of this one but I'm pretty happy with where the vocals are, still tracking second verse, variations etc and t...

Hey gang! MERRY CHRISTMAS! And/or HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Hope you enjoy this little breakdown of the song I worked on today.

Been a little unlucky recently, a one-off editor disappeared and I haven't been able to get in touch with him so the video I was gonna drop Saturday didn't get done :( Gotta find someone else... but that'll be after the holidays.

Anyway, I appreciate you all :) Let's have some great holidays and come back rejuvenated!

Rejected Video Idea: ”Songs About Phone Addiction”

Not sure what I was thinking with this one, or why I thought anyone would click it. The thumbnail looks cool though!

Rejected video idea: ”I survived looping the same song for a week”

We had this idea a while back but ended up not doing it - I’m pretty sure the idea qualifies as actual torture, and I was afraid of both hearing and psychological damage haha.

Going through my archives this week because my Dropbox is full, might drop some other stuff too!
