You might me the artist who puts the most emphasis on beautiful lyrics above anything that I have ever listened to, at least besides the likes of Ren and Stupendium. Your lyrics are masterful: I strongly remember you putting out Weight In Gold, I listened to it and thought 'It's pretty good, but the melody is not up to snuff and it doesn't rhyme amazingly.' Foolish me, it is now one of the most listened-to songs on my list and easily my second favourite song of yours behind (fittingly) Far from Me. I won't sully this comment with one of those 'Oh, you are so underrated and should be more popular!' because we all know that already and will just sound disingenuous, but I hope you realize the fanbase you have accrued is incredibly loyal and will slowly but surely grow with time.

Currently playing a Forge Cleric/Artificer with him growing up as a blacksmith and this resonates with me. Its also kind of a somber song, too, you only come to the blacksmith if you need something, and whatever they make will have you be famous, despite it being their work. It's something my character experienced growing up, and its made him both lonely and wary to trust others to keep their promises, plus the fact that the townsfolk didn't like him so much because he was both a tiefling (adopted by humans at that) and a transgender man (female to male).
