Hazy

Welp, it’s been a while. It’s so interesting how I manage to do this to myself every time. It’s like I build up and set up all this potential and then always end up bailing out. What I mean by this is we’ve had our best release so far—social media, the song quality, building a website, getting prepared. And yet, the day the song comes out, I enter some kind of hazy state where none of it feels real. All the music release momentum and the work I’m doing just stops. In this case, it’s been the last four days.

I know you might read this and immediately jump to the negative, but I don’t know if I’d say that. I think it’s a time period I need to understand more, but it doesn’t have to be negative. My thoughts so far? Maybe it’s a reset period for me. Maybe it’s me trying to focus on other sides of my life. Maybe it’s just some laziness. Whatever it is, I know reflecting on it and talking it out on this blog is one of the best ways to figure it out more deeply.

All that aside, I’m so happy Corpse Bride is out. It’s definitely been our most successful release so far, hitting over 200 streams in the first weekend! I look forward to keeping this momentum up (including the blogs!) and releasing four more songs this year. Even if I have these hazy states, I’m so happy that I get to call this my life. I’m learning more and more how to navigate the day-to-days. I’m not perfect, but I will keep pushing in every way I know how to.
