Hi guys! Thank you all so much for the love and support on this video! I had no idea anyone would really see this or like any of my songs, so this is wild to me. I just uploaded a new song called 'crazy katie' so go check that video out. I will also be uploading more songs in the near future, so stay tuned!! (also yes, that is a dewalt drill in the back lmaooo)

You could make a career out of your music, if you wanted to. I feel compelled to give to you for bringing this creation into reality. God bless you!

This is like a classic old KZbin singer-songwriter video. The video quality, the recording location etc. I love that such videos are still being made. Sweet song.

[@patrakleos]

The key change after "what this could be" is perfect. There is something so genuine and authentic about this. No fake modern accent, no emulation, just a musical translation of personal experience and feeling

[@Tobernathy]

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment, this means a lot to me :))

Came here to say this I miss my guitar Peace from the Canada to Panamá (technically Alaska to Argentina) bike trip

What is a "fake modern accent"?

[@igorface09]

I think it's more like modal mixture than a key change but I haven't really analyzed.

⁠​⁠@@zuubu ​​⁠​⁠​⁠it’s that annoying fake voice that so many girls today use to sing in. Kind of like Zooey Deschanel in elf. I agree with the OP, this video was refreshing and sounded great

[@kevinh.a442]

This is the type of video that youtube recommends you in 10 years

[@matthewbarnes7029]

I appreciate that the line isn’t, “God ‘forgive’ me” but, “God help me”. Seeking help is admirable and should be encouraged. Seeking forgiveness is self-serving and misses the point. It is reminiscent of when we were infants and, it was only after being held that our anguish was mechanically suppressed. We aren’t here to change or to do anything so much as we are here to discover why we did and did not do everything.

[@matthewbarnes7029]

@the.seagull.35 I would leave them.

[@matthewbarnes7029]

I think you meant to ask, “Would you admire them if they asked for help with some problem that led to their cheating as opposed to asking for forgiveness” But yeah I would no longer remain in a relationship with someone who knows something is wrong and does it anyway in the context you described. Edit: What would you do?

[@matthewbarnes7029]

@the.seagull.35 I agree that there is value in seeking forgiveness but, not in actually asking forgiveness from the person you have wronged. It places the burden of alleviating your own suffering on the other person. In a sense it adds insult to injury because not only have you hurt them in some way, but you also ask that in addition to that pain they must also relieve you of your guilt. There is nobility in feeling guilt. Forgiveness only obtains reflexively not relationally. I.e. forgiving yourself is important but another’s is merely a formality or to signal one’s virtue to some audience. Personally, there are things I have done that I look back on and still wince and know that, had I not done those things, certain lives might have gone better or less pain would have been had by certain people at certain times. To me the wrongs I have done are like a scars that extend through time. Life grows around them and beyond them but, when I check my memory, I cannot forget what I have done and so I do not forgive myself for doing those things. I have gotten better and continue to do better by those around me especially those I claim to love. But the past remains. What happened happened and, pretending otherwise is childish. It is a moral mirage that forgiveness changes anything. Best case scenario it desensitizes us to the pain we’ve wrought which makes us feel better. Worst case scenario it compels us to deny our own wrongdoings which all but guarantees we will repeat our mistakes in a different context and under congruent circumstances. Don’t shrug the burden or ask someone to carry it for you. Grow stronger and always remember how weak you once were. Be grateful you have realized your wrongness and have changed for the better. Don’t seek another’s opinion of you in place of your own. Know thyself. Grind a mirror out of diamond and carry it next to your heart so that, whenever you so choose, you may hold it up and see your ugly, beautiful, rotten and pure self in all its wretched glory. That is how God sees you anyways.
