10 years. I've been writing music for 10 years now apparently. There are times when one ponder how much they've improved in their craft. Being able to take a look at these songs together with the community really showed me how much things have improved. It also gave me some hits of motivation to continue writing more music. I'll admit there is a TON of energy in this video (mainly because I was nervous over showing those old ideas that I never really showed anyone before), but I'm definitely glad I went through with it. I actually found some riffs I'd like to use as well in the future! Anyways, I hope you all enjoy. Here's to 10 years of writing and here's to many more! This is "Reacting to Songs I Made 10 Years Ago".
Shoutout to Depriety for editing this video! There wouldn't have been a video this week if it weren't for him!
