We Hold The Light

Hello Forum Friends

Back again! Apologies for the song-spam, another one's escaped the confines of my brain and limped its way here.

Boring backstory if interested :

This little ditty was intended to be a sonic love letter to my stunning partner. ♀ Think romantic serenade, candlelight dinner... the whole shebang. Instead, I was met with a lukewarm reception colder than a penguin's pedicure. Her exact words? A soul-crushing "Meh." ☹
Naturally, I probed further. "Any other feedback?" I stammered, feeling the room temperature drop about 10 degrees. "Guitar solos are so last century," she declared. Ouch. 😮 My ego retreated, whimpering, to a dark corner.👇
But, I'm a resilient chap! I can handle constructive criticism... even when it feels like being mauled by a dingo. So, chin up, chest out, and onwards! ☼
Confucius wisely said, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." I suspect he never tried playing a power ballad guitar solo to a woman who prefers lo-fi indie. He might reconsider that philosophy. 😏
So, I'm releasing this song into the wild with the expectation that it'll flicker briefly, then gently fade into digital oblivion. Consider it a sacrificial lamb offered on the altar of musical experimentation. No need to comment unless you're absolutely compelled to tell me it's the worst thing you've ever heard (I'm already bracing myself).☂
But, to those brave (or perhaps recklessly curious) souls who give it a spin, I salute you! May your coffee always be hot, your Wi-Fi strong, and your karma overflowing with good fortune!" ☕ 👌 🌷
