Dayglow - How I Made "Can I Call You Tonight?"

[@heyimolivia]

The title should be called: how to make a masterpiece

[@johnnytwohalves]

Amen. All of his lyrics match the feel. Something truly amazing about this. To be real, it feels like this is REAL talent & everything else is entirely apart from the music he makes; like all, or very much most, of all the music in this world is faked to just get some form of recognition. This is not the same. This is art.

[@yossibelramos3908]

TOTALLY AGREE

[@AllDiligence]

Even the music video was perfect

Why is Dwight singing about how he doesn't look like himself? Is this what they call depersonalization?

[@mysterywoman9767]

J depersonalization is when you feel like your not in your body something like you are seeing everything through glass... I have that for over a year now and it’s getting really serious I literally don’t feel an inch of my body and I’m convinced that everything is just an illusion. I just wanna end this pain but oh well🤠💩 it’s the worst

[@bobsponge3462]

[@wav-e4320]

I have depersonalization as well. there is no cure but I have found myself getting better with lots of time to meditate and think. try to find the time for this stuff. it's rlly important to have time to go within yourself and your thoughts and try to understand them. or at least I think.

ugh i wanna make music but i have no idea how to even get started. you’re a huge inspiration!

[@ferdinanddallard5508]

Download a music software (I use FL studio but there are many other)

[@plsarguewithme2665]

i dont rly advise FL cause the UI is so complicated... Logic pro and ableton could be better for beginners but before anything i think it's best to introduce yourself to audacity since not only is it free, once you get the hang of its UI, using other softwares could be a bit instinctive already

[@nathanalbrightmusic]

Just start simple, find a cheap music software, I use Ableton Live 10 Standard which is 450 USD, but there are a lot of other ones that are way cheaper, and I didn't start with much. I used the free version of Ableton (Which isn't offered anymore, sry.) and had literally nothing, all of my equipment i got from birthdays and christmas and getting paid for mowing lawns. I literally used the built-in instruments offered by Ableton, I got a keyboard, a microphone, an audio interface, a guitar, a guitar amp, etc. from my birthdays and christmas. If you just get something cheap, follow some youtube tutorials and just keep at it, you can make music. As long as you have some basic instruments, a music software, and some inspiration, that's all you need.

[@sebaqw]

Met this song a year ago. I traveled to see my grandparents, just a few months before they had move in to my house because they needed 24/7 care. My grandad sadly passed away a few months. My grandmother's memory is fading away. Everytime I think of my grandad I think of this song, when I could still visit them in their home, where they grew my mother. Thinking how everything ended so far away from their home.
