Certainly, getting me to take the bait and go on some crybaby rant would make for an extraordinarily entertaining thread, especially considering some of the whiny shit I used to post.
Thing is, I just don't take this all that seriously anymore, or at least I try not to. It's just some silly song I wrote and recorded. I'm gonna put it out there, and if people like it or don't like it, so be it. It is what it is. I hesitate to call it "art" - really, who gives a fuck about this. It's a 2 and a half minute pop song.
I just try to have fun making music these days. There's some really interesting opinions in this thread. I wasn't looking to make a big deal out of this or anything, or make some stand.
I actually don't really care much about selling this. I can see why some might say it has commercial tendencies, but I'm not shopping this or anything. I'm going to put it out on my silly little corner of the internet, it's going to be almost completely ignored, and I'll move on to the next silly other thing.
As for the song, I'll probably look at a few of the minor changes that were suggested. I can definitely understand some of the feedback regarding the vocals sounding tentative, and Rachel and I talked about it some last night.
