ah, i see and agree with what you mean. piano chords on a 4/4 rhythm is one of the best ways to get an emotional chorus across, but it is also really done to death (since it is so good). i am going to (again) blame that on my lack of skill and experience. i wish i knew how to get the same feel, but make it more interesting. i will definitely try to do that with this song though, thanks for the post

i did make this out of boredom, but i have been fiddling with stuff for about 2 years plus, i use a tonshit of samples in my tracks, only about 50% of the sounds in my tracks were made on a synthesizer. i even made a track using only samples a few days ago drums, i sample them 90% of the time. i have like 5 gb of drum break samples lol

one thing i really enjoy about experimenting with music is that whenever i learn something new, i feel really empowered and knowledgeable. every time i read about a new technique or sound effect, and then try it out on my tracks, i think to myself "holy shit this is so useful how did i even make music without knowing this"
