yourolllikethunder 4,886 Posted February 4, 2022 I released my second song ever today, called “cherry picker”! It’s a dream pop (tinged with a little indie/alt rock) song inspired by Mazzy Star / Cocteau Twins / The Sundays / The Cranberries. I wrote and self-produced it in my home studio when I was struggling with undiagnosed mental health issues. It’s a letter to the happier side of me, the “cherry picker” with the sunny disposition that I felt abandoned me when I was at my lowest. I’ve since started therapy and it was the best decision I ever made! It helped me to realize that being a happy and sad person are not mutually exclusive, and feeling both so deeply has made me the person I am. I’m sure some of you can relate! If you listen, I hope you enjoy it 🍒❤️ LB has always been so kind to my music and I get excited to share with my favorite Lana fans! http://heddy.lnk.to/cherrypicker 5 Quote I write/release my own music—if you’re bored, you can stream my witchy ode to 90s alt/shoegaze, 2:30 is 🔥 👀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rural legend 2,154 Posted February 16, 2022 Last year I stayed in a hotel in Dublin and this song came to me while I was thinking about all the times I gave a piece of myself away because I thought I had to. I grabbed my phone and recorded the hook as well as something that later became a verse. 7 months later I finished recording a demo version of this song. It's rough, it's raw and it's honest. If I were a known singer with a vast catalogue this song would be a start of something new, something completely different. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluVelvUnderground 1,754 Posted February 18, 2022 Wrote and shared this song back in the summer, but it's still one I return to myself because it reminds me how beautifully ugly one of those anxiety attacks can be (I wrote it during a panic attack after too much fucking weed lol) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRENCH 15,450 Posted February 18, 2022 I released my first electronic (Future Bass subgenre) single last year. Its rough but I learned a lot. Im currently working on a EP but in drum n bass https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/7edwin/october-moon 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluVelvUnderground 1,754 Posted February 23, 2022 Little EP I did where I reflected on a lot of summers in my early college years and then some. Naturally, I wanted to show more worship and decided this was the perfect time to do an industrial/ambient mix of "Summertime Sadness" apparently. It might not be for everyone, but it calms my nerves on the bridge. I hope you like something here even if you think I sacrileged our queen and cinnamon saviour. <3 edit: cinnamon saviour? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
