Wverytime I sit down at a computer to make music I get so scared
#i like siting down with a guitar and writing music but the daw is still so scary to me and i dont know how to make it less scary#its like i dont know where to start#i understand music theory i can write chord progressions i can write melodies but arranging feels so daunting#like just trying to pick keyboard voices and stuff im like overwhelmed and then its like i just dont even know where to start#i think i need to do more covers to practice arranging because trying to do it with my own songs im just like i have NO IDEA#i do think that trying to recreate arrangements of other songs I like will help me but also just idk#i really want to get better at writing at the piano but i find it really hard#rn i write almost all my songs on the guitar then i guess what i have to do is try to think of like what style i want it to have#and sort of try to create a map like probably literally on paper and then try to go in and sort of do it but god its so hard i dont know#it feels so so daunting#even trying to make silly little stuff with just like some synths is really hard for me right now its so out of my comfort zone and AUGH id#its frustrating im scared of the computer but i also very much do not want to be an acoustic singer songwriter but thats all i can do#because all i can do is play fucking guitar!!!! and its just so frustrating#technically im like with a midi controller i should be able to do whatever program drums write little synth lines etc i dont have to like#know how to play piano and yet whenever i try to do it i just get so overwhelmed and freaked out with how many possibilities there are#that i just . cannnnnt#AHGHHHHHHHHHHHH im so im in such a bad mood right ow#ive had such a horrible night honestly#i think i will just go engage in fixation for comfort and then go to bed sigh#i dont know what to do to improve at making music in the daw i guess ill just maybe try again this weekend to take another crack at it#god its just so frustrating that i only started writing songs 2 years ago and have only learned to use a daw in the last 3 months i WISH#that i was one of these teenagers who spent all my time writing silly songs and playing around with a midi controller but i just didnt#because i was scared!!!!!!!#playing the guitar and singing has always been like the only thing that felt safe cos i felt if i tried to actually write and arrange songs#by myself i would fail so now i just feel so frustrated because i dont feel like a real musician and i feel like im starting too late#AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH whatever sorry for using the tags of this post as my diary but#i am frustrated!!!!

#oda has eyes and trees and the rainbow. messenger has trees and the rainbow but especially pink. im deciding on their main instruments but--#--violin/other string instrument for oda and possibly a woodwind for messenger#tdb obviously has their colors and their instruments#i gave scorchburn a stylophone because Cool and Cyber and 80s#dont even get me started on the fucking chord progressions i have for them dude [insane about music theory]#noonbeam rambles#noonbeam thinks theyre funny#anyway im gonna be a lot more vague about tdb in public now. gonna delete that one ask game i did [but archiving it still] despite it--#--being outdated

Once again have the absolute bop that is "I've Got Tits But I Don't Know How To Use Them" stuck in my head
Unfortunately, since it's a song I've made up myself, I only have the chorus stuck in my head until I finally compose the rest of it
#life on the moon#it's like wanting to know what happens next in a fic you're writing#but worse#because I know even less about composing than I do about writing#it's got a similar piano chord riff to the other absolute bop#āFuck Youā by Cee-Lo Green#don't know what that chord progression is tho

#honestly want to quit my band#hasnāt been fun#my singer complains about every fucking thing#they want to play bass and let our other singer be the main singer but completely disregards the fucking chord progressions#itās not fun and only about what they want lately#they keep trying to push acoustic sets which doesnāt really work for our sound#I think I might just be close to quitting but I already have another band lined up sooooooool like idk#donāt wanna just throw it away but I feel like Iām slowly getting pushed to the side

Being a music-based synesthete with absolute pitch is wonderful but so frustrating because the vast majority of people have no context for the way I experience music and thus whenever I try to explain it it makes no sense to them. What do you mean you can't tell what color this song is. What do you mean you don't hear a Bb minor chord and feel your body react to it before your brain does. What do you mean you can't feel the warm sunbeams of D major dancing across your face. My world is filled with musical color but even if people think it's cool they will never really see it and it makes me sad
#mel's musings#to say NOTHING of all the melodic and harmonic figures that make me go fucking feral that laypeople have no frame of reference for#all i want is to go into excruciating detail about my favorite chords and progressions and dissonances and how they make me feel#but i have almost no way of doing that without sounding like an absolute lunatic. tragic :'(#it's honestly one of my biggest reservations when it comes to posting more of my musical analysis here#i want to talk about how harmonic language among other things is used to express emotion in video game music#but i genuinely don't know how to do that without speedrunning everyone through semester 1 of my college music theory class#i need to cover my bases in that sense for non-musicians reading. but it'd also be boring for people who've already been through that#plus that excessive explanation would distract from the points i REALLY wanna make#how do i explain modal mixture or secondary dominance to people who don't know functional harmony. truly#and how do i balance the basic stuff with Actual Analysis for my fellow music freaks. because i KNOW y'all are out there too#maybe one day i'll just say fuck it we ball and throw something out there despite my fear of being too technical#but who knows honestly. the adhd is still adhd-ing and the Fog is still Fogging. unfortunately#but anyway uhhh. if you made it this far thanks i guess and if you have feedback i'd love to hear it#music nerd shit

nobody told me that when you learn to play guitar you have to learn the whole thing
#day 3 of learning E chord changes. Iām trapped in hell and am going to die here.#itās hard to not be demoralized when all I can do right now is gently and slowly pick at boring shit over and over#Obviously Iām going to push through. But it doesnāt mean I donāt wish progress was faster#But also. And I cannot express this enough. It hasnāt even been two fucking weeks.#Itās hard to remind myself that Iāve made absurd progress for being two weeks in#I wish I could play at least one song tho#The Urge is back

>goes to tag for popular non canon ship I like.
>people shit talking the canon ship I also like that shares a character
#Even harder when i ship all three characters together#Like the canon and fanon love interests are also making out guys#Make love not shipping wars or something idk <3#Idrk care that much itās just funny#Although it does piss me off when people try to make it a like āprogressivenessā contest ITS FUCKING SHIPPING OH MY GOD#Like itās not misogynist to prefer the fanon m/m ship to the canon m/f ship unless youāre saying shit like#āheās too good for a womanā#And itās not homophobic to prefer the canon m/f ship to the fanon m/m ship unless itās shit like#āHeās too good to be gayā#Oh my god please for fucks sake donāt say shit like that you sound like you are attached to tumblr with an umbilical chord with those takes#Get off tumblr for five seconds please#shipping#ships#fandom#fandumb#shipping discourse#(mostly in the tags but still)#multishipper

Been a while, almost a whole month. Have been wrestling with chords and everything finally clicked earlier this week, leading to this. I am very proud with how this turned out, and with the PMD soundfont I managed to get over hangups in regards to mastering, orchestration, etc. It's like using the shitty paint in those big gallon jugs they have in elementary schools on printer instead of oil on canvas, which is what I needed.
#music#original music#soundcloud#hey look i actually got a chord progression out that was thought through#i even wrote down the lil letters and everything#no roman numerals though fuck that#SoundCloud

i love apollo 18 but i have a few problems with it and one of the biggest ones is that i can never just listen to the fucking album because its impossible for me to hear this song without repeating it at least like 4 or 5 times
#I think in some ways this is literally like the best song he's ever written <- not a hot take at all i know but man#it really is like it kind of perfectly encapsulates everything i love about his songwriting at least lyrically#okay musically its amazing too i like the way it goes to the bVI in the verse he does this thing a lot in his chord progressions where the#verse chords are usually straight forward some variation in like I IV V I maybe with a ii an vi nothing too crazy and then he puts in#something like that or like often it's a II that is at this pivotal moment and its like idk like . he usually shows restraint like that in#the verse and chorus and then does something really complex/interesting in the bridge#not always but theres a lot of songs like that in this case oh my god i love that bridge#hes got the ascending line cliche thing and it keeps climbing and climbing towards the climax of the last verse and its sooooo GOOOOOOOOD#and its got suchhhh a classic linnellian melody insanely catchy like this is just such a perfect fucking song#i just feel like this is like. the archetypical john linnell song. platonic ideal of a john linnell penned pop song perfect example#lyrically obviously too its just soooo him nobody else could have written it. okay he got the title from flans though credit where its due#but yeah. perfect pop song lyrically complex and clever funny and recursive and circular and dark and morbid and just like. its so. perfect#ALSO THE ARRANGEMENT....................... i love the organ on it so much i love the guitars i love the way its mixed#yeah anyway if i wrote a song like this. id retire afterwards . he says hes still chasing trying to write the perfect pop song but i think#this would be my contender for like. number 1#anyway i love this song but EVERYONE loves this fucking song so i forget how much i love this song sometimes. but i love it#this also was my favorite they might be giants song as a kid mostly because i really liked hearing him swear . lol#but because of that like birdhouse im like ive probably heard this song more than most any other song in my life so thats a factor

okay so i wish someone cooler had released chained to the rhythm
#maybe its bc it lowkey flopped so it didnt have a chance to be overplayed#but i also think there's smth in the chord progression of the chorus it's got a bit of dancehall sauce#also why the fuck was katy perry dropping a song in which skip marley says ātime is ticking for the empireā okay comrade#i have complex and nuanced thoughts about music all music pop music dance music#i just wish i wasnt bored of most music right nowwwww#i wish i was a dj#txt#its a mid song but has sleeper danceability
