NEW YEAR, TIEM FOR FLOOTERSHAI SONG

Finally, after five months, a new ORIGINAL full band full-length by yours truly! I started this song during this past summer as an acoustic one, but I much later decided to change it up because I wasn't satisfied with what I had. This is and probably will be the most experimental I've gotten with my music, but I hope you'll like this style as much as I do!

Since my last song of this kind ("Break"), I've made a few significant improvements. First, I changed my set-up for recording guitars, and I think they sound cleaner and less muddy. Second, I improved A LOT on mixing. Before, I was just slapping effects willy nilly on everything, and now, I realize how important panning is to get all the instruments to sit right in the mix, which effects work for which instruments, and how to tweak them. Also, mastering goes a HELL of a way in making a song sound better. A million thanks to ISMBOF (www.youtube.com/user/I... and FakePonyRu (www.youtube.com/user/F... for all their help, especially on vocal mixing!

In other news, HOLY SHIT 258 SUBS?!?! Forget the 250 sub special, I better start working on a 300 sub special at this rate! You guys ROCK!

LYRICS:
I thought that this could be my chance to show the
World that I've got what it takes, but slowly
They keep telling me, they keep telling me that I'm still nothing
But words that no one hears me sing

So I've resigned myself to blind fate and imperfections
I'm having all these doubts of who I am and will become
I just can't shake the feeling from these late night reflections
That this is pulling me away from all that I came from
And still am now

I try to make the most when I leave empty-handed and rejected
I cannot let myself get so hopeless and dejected
(x3)

Forget what it could be
Forget what it has been
I was stupid to have thought this could be more than it's not
But I've been given hope
The will to not give in
All my friends are here to keep me giving all that I've got

I've fallen harder than ever now in this bad luck game that I'm playing
How long will it take for me to pull myself up from where I'm laying?

BACKGROUND:
This song is for all the people who try their hardest at something and still get put down.

I wrote this song over the summer when I wasn't very popular and only had a handful of loyal subscribers (although I love you all equally now). It was my summer after college, and I was about to launch into a completely unrelated career that I very much looked forward to and enjoyed. However, over the summer, after writing just a few songs and learning so much about making music and connecting with so many awesome people (musicians, bronies), I was beginning to question what career I really wanted to pursue. At the same time, I realized how hard it was to be recognized and stand out in music, and thus this song was born. Basically, the lyrics are how I felt balancing the career I have now and music as well as all the setbacks.

The song also relates to Fluttershy in "Putting Your Hoof Down," where she tries to become assertive after continuously getting stepped on but realizes that this is not who she really is and must toe that balance too, especially after going through Iron Will.
