silver horns - original song feat. asterian

Hey! Usually I'm pretty unserious on here but i wanna talk for a bit. To be frank: I don't think this song is good! I think it's kind of calming, its nice to listen to sometimes, but it isn't well structured or very high quality as a piece of art or anything. When I made it I wanted to get some practice working with Asterian's vocals so I picked an old project I made that fit his register and just had fun with it and by the time I was done I almost immediately knew I would never really be satisfied with it. That's a problem I've been having for a long time now. Ever since I started college I've been slowly and gradually burning out more and more over time. And not just with music but with all of my creative projects. I started to put so much pressure on myself to create "good" things that when I made something "flawed" I would keep going back at it again and again until I didn't want to iterate anymore and tossed it aside. I stopped having fun creating. Which sucks! After my first pass on the lyrics for this song, I immediately realized that there wasn't any version of it that I would ever consider good. The instrumental was too barebones, it lacked a clear aesthetic idea, and I knew I would give up before finishing it. I shared it around with my friends and even though they gave me some positive feedback I still felt like no one really liked it, and I thought for sure if I posted it as it was then no one else would like it either. But I did! In all its weird, unfinished glory, I still enjoy listening to this. I recognize that there are areas where it could be a lot better but I am nevertheless proud of a lot of aspects of it. I guess what I want to say is I'm trying to have fun with this again. When I started this channel I wanted to share more than just the things that I made, I wanted to share my progress. I knew when I posted it that even in just a year I wouldn't like Faerie King but I did anyway. And now, yeah I think its pretty bad. I don't like listening to it. But I'm still pretty proud of making it with what little experience I had and what to share that with people. And going forward I want to do that again. I want to be able to share things that I recognize are somewhat flawed but I am still proud of. And I'm starting with this thing. I hope you can enjoy it even just a little bit, and I hope you all can have fun with creating without the fear of failure -bird Lyrics! Lay me down a bed of roses Wrapped around in thorns Stuff me down a bottleneck Battered, bruised, and torn Crawl along the ivy wreck and Leave me to be mourned Promise me salvation in a Mask with silver horns Oh, A gentle breeze is flowing Down from the heavens! Down from the lord! Oh, A sea of petals flowing Dyed with blood and Drowned in scorn! Draped in ivory finer things Listen how the angels sing Heralding an age of splendor Sting of nettle-sharp contempt Wring the foolish tears you’ve wept So enveiled in dark conjecture Oh, A violent tempest blowing Down from the heavens! Down from the lord! Oh, A burgeoning storm is growing Dive the flood and Drown in scorn! Oh, Lay me down a bed of roses Wrapped around in thorns Stuff me down a bottleneck Battered, bruised, and torn Crawl along the ivy wreck and Leave me to be mourned Promise me salvation in a Mask with silver horns Gather round my tomb and then Forget it in the morn Promise me salvation in a Mask with silver horns Thanks! https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...
