  1. I write songs about mental health issues and just general things people including me go through. I would love it if you could check them out. They're on my YouTube channel and my insta is fakeit_band

  2. I think really the most of us need to make a couple albums before you really understand how to make a good song. I look back at the last album I did and I learned so much from being in the studio for a very long time. But now when I listen to it I’m like shit the main riff should be half as long here and a shorter chorus that would make the song keep a more powerful feel and keep the listener interested. Even if you have a great song if it’s not arranged perfectly it can turn into shit. Some songs could be arranged perfectly but your missing a simple vocal or guitar harmony that would just push the song into a new level. After a few ep’s and an album for me at least I had a really good feel for what works and what doesn’t.
