Writing my saddest song so far (how I made 'Find Myself Again')

[@MusicbyBlanks]

Hey guys, just popping in here to thank you for the amazing response to this song so far (and it's only been 24 hours!!). To see you guys connect to this song in this way is more than I could've hoped for. Thank you thank you thank you!! X Simon

[@Raven-wb2lb]

BROOO i completely forgot you existed i watched you years ago when you uploaded the TMI song and shit I still know the tune HAHA what a throwback, super cool you're an actual artist now!!

[@Jelle-1106]

That guitar sound is actually insane, so simple yet perfect for the song

[@cute_cat9768]

When are u going to release it tho? It feels so real and it hits hard, I like it a lot!! ❤

[@candice47]

watching how this song was created and produced makes me love it even more it is just perfect

[@MusicbyBlanks]

thank you so much!

[@jack101mb]

I was about to comment the same exact thing!

[@mmatheusmarinho]

It's been a while since I last checked your channel, and for some reason this video poped-up for me today, a few minutes after you uploaded it. I'm also feeling a little lost these days, and your song catched me, as I'm experiencing a lot of the stuff you mentioned in your lyrics. My friends are growing, while I'm stuck with a job I don't like; I got my heart broken more than a year ago, and I still didn't heal completely; my family is having financial problems lately, etc. This song really felt like a message that I needed to hear right now, at this exact same moment. You'll probably not gonna read this, but thank you, Blanks! From the bottom of my heart. I hope you never quit making music!

[@MusicbyBlanks]

I am reading this and I'm telling you: you got this!!! And thank you for the kind words!

[@RJ-sw2es]

Don’t give up gang. You owe it to yourself to be successful. I wanna hear about how you buy your dream car and house in the future.

[@mmatheusmarinho]

@@RJ-sw2es Thanks, man! I really appreciate your support!

[@calliecaylor2652]

I love listening to people talk about their passions and listening to you in this video feels like listening to a friend and brings me such a warm feeling

[@MusicbyBlanks]

yes that was exactly what i intended for this video!! a laid back conversation with a friend (who just wrote a really sad song lol haha)

[@esfomeada_1015]

Your more melancholic songs don't come often, but when they come, you always deliver

[@cyromscissors1956]

This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm going through a lot rn, a transition from my a life that I'm so used to, to having to face reality. This song captures that feeling so much for me. The weight of the chords, the melody, and especially the lyrics. Keep at it man. I love this❤

[@MusicbyBlanks]

you got this!! 🙏

[@idavid8391]

This was one of your best songs yet. Wasn't expecting to see it yet absolutely loved it.

[@MusicbyBlanks]

thank you so much!!! really appreciate it!!

[@axelle356]

[@tmmuscics2753]

[@carsonmagee4014]

[@paelomusic]

Really love that you start doing these sort of videos again! Also: THE SONG IS JUST AMAZING

[@MusicbyBlanks]

THANK YOU AND THANK YOU!

[@celinet9301]

blanks never disappoint us guys

[@skyjayjw4750]

This song is written so well. This video shows how good you thought about the whole song and the story. Thank you for these videos!

[@AddieisBroski]

Listening to the song on my release radar then looking on youtube to see the behind the scenes is such an amazingggg feeling!!!! I love the new song its in like every playlist i have because I relate to it on such a huge level!! I swear the transition from fall to winter when the leaves have all fallen off the trees and its just cold and gloomy, I always lose who I am!! Thank you for a song to scream in the car during this season!!

[@barmanfred3301]

I love these insights into the process of your musicproduction. Makes me appreciate the song so much more

[@kingcharizardakaCX]

Man I’ve never cried so much to a song, this song hits so hard and I 100% feel blanks on this! I’m very similar to him a energetic goofy, fun and happy guy but sometimes it’s hard to always be like that when you’re not feeling your best. And I just tell everyone I’m fine when I’m struggling because I don’t want them to see when I’m struggling Y’know

[@frank.conway]

Man, this is good. I get a lot from watching how you build tracks, but don't think I resonated too much with your releases. This feels really authentic, honest and vulnerable and i'm really in to it. Looking forward to more.

[@niamhbeech9385]

Thank you. I’ve been feeling the same disconnect with myself for a while and the want for change came the other day but it feels hard to change and you’ve voiced those thoughts

[@jack101mb]

I needed this, I'm going through that right now. This message is perfect!

[@julienlilla4062]

Sounds great! Gives me a 5SOS vibe

[@axelle356]

this might be my favourite production of yours you've done so far, after chasing after memories. thank you for giving us this detailed video of the production I love those so much. love you sims, you're so worth it.

[@MusicbyBlanks]

❤❤❤❤ thank you so much for the axelle!!!

[@gansuldaltansukh374]

cried a lot damn lyrics hit hard that damn soft spot in me

[@danielp5671]

This is my favorite youtube video ever Your sentiment of being in an optmistic guy in difficult times hits home and especially the line : "in the midst of all the chaos, i keep smiling all the time" is my favorite ... soooo well written - you are an inspiration :)

[@arjunb6374]

This is the perfect time for this song to come in my life. I feel u man.

[@MusicbyBlanks]

💛

[@DawnGinese-TheSingingNurse]

Definitely relate to the lost feeling coming regularly in November. Great song of encouragement. 🎵💜 Dawn

[@ChrisSiglMusic]

Stranger has been my favorite song from you since you made it. It taught me that it's cool to make sad songs if that's how I'm feeling at that moment. Now, I've been making my own music for a while and am getting a bit stuck honestly. This video helped me get un-stuck an I feel so inspired to write a new song. thank you Simon

[@kaitlyng8968]

I love you blanks!! You and your music have helped me so much this year. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️

[@daryllpatoc2715]

This song's lyrics resonate deeply within me; it's as if the music tells my own story. For those experiencing similar emotions, remember that you are loved, and there's always hope for brighter days ahead. Sending heartfelt hugs to everyone who needs them, with full consent and understanding. 💙

[@sanchitsharma3260]

Amazing amazing song! Just like you! Keep up the good work man. I can't tell you how strongly i can relate to the song!! Thanks.

[@Aschwinta]

Insane video and Insane song, it's so sad but so so so good, I love it❤Ps: The bass guitar is veryy nicee, love it :)) I hope you are okayy

[@MusicbyBlanks]

thank you!! and yes doing well! (oh and yeah the bass is really nice!!)

[@weriltmusictv5137]

Awesome song - love the way you tell the story of the song! Well done.

[@somedude8604]

Been following you for years. Love what you do, this song sounds amazing! :)

[@thomasfinley865]

Wish you'd write more music like this man. The good vibes are great, but these types of songs are so relatable.

[@deadosaka1712]

I started watching your videos a couple years ago when I just started getting into music seriously, it helped me so much seeing how you put your songs together and the type of layering you did. I've made tons of progress and I hope to start releasing my own music soon. So thanks! I appreciate you putting your time and effort into these videos.

[@xoxpl4yz423]

omg STOP when i filled out the song idea thing i gave the same vibe not even kidding!! talk about timing

[@malteschaller]

This song is so good, love watching you go crazy about it ❤

[@jayjaymoon2542]

Love this man, been teaching myself production and have always wanted to completely produce songs for myself. This is super motivational. You killed the lyrics.

[@abbyandrade6971]

I’ve always believed true artists can make even pain beautiful- it’s wonderful to see this side of you flourish :)

[@valentinamendes3835]

i feel so inspired by your videos, i feel like i can now get up and go write a whole album, but then i stop because i don't know where to find all these cool sounds so i'm always unsatisfied :(

[@rockingpeach5901]

Watching this video alone already makes me cry 😢, that’s how good you are Simon! You are worthy!!

[@isagf4804]

What You Got (Ayo) was my top 1 song in 2023 (shout-out to spotify wrapped) and yet this was my favorite one. You just keep getting better!

[@amyvandepol1306]

This is exactly at the point im at rn and this has made me absolutely bawl my eyes out

[@motormommy]

I began watching this video smiling in awe of your musical insight and ended in tears of awe at your human insight. You are amazing!

[@justingroot2826]

Omg, I am so touched by this song. The lyrics are so good and the music itself explains the feeling behind it so well!! I love it!

[@M00NMUS1C_YT]

the way you express yourself in your music is a magic i strive to achieve keep on keeping on, love you man.. youve helped me a lot in music and feeling connected again

[@macba_art]

This song is so relatable to me right now, thank you so much for doing this video, now i know that sooner or later whatever you're going through will pass 💜

[@The_Firevenus]

you've been my favorites artist/music content creator for a long long time now (i think i find you in 2018? when you did styleswap for 'better now' lmao) but ever since then i know i'd love your personality and i stick around, every songs you put out and every videos you did, i try my best to find time to watch it because i just know i will have a hella good time, so proud of how you and your music grew, this song hit close to home for me, thank you blanks

[@benjarvismusic2007]

This song is incredible. The lyrics are haunting and relatable, as an artist myself wanting to start producing my own material, you've inspired me. Keep up the great work Blanks :)

[@sydneyotoole7685]

i love the type of videos that delve into the process like this, i wish more artists would do it!! amazing video and even better song, adding it to my playlist immediately. please make more of these!!!

[@voixyz]

Just by listening to the instruments and sounds included in the production is already moving me to tears; Add up the lyrics and I am crying a river, but to see and understand your thought process on this song, idk why it makes me heart hurt in a good way 😭 like the song is just connecting to me.

[@user-nh1fn2js6v]

all my life, I never really understood how a music can heal a person. All I cared about music was the music itself, the notes, and not lyrics. But this music really touched my heart deep. thank you. From south Korea.

[@noahkling4018]

I feel like this is the path of every writer…up and down…and in the middle we create greatness from within ourselves.

[@brendanpatrickmusic]

Definitely relate to not feeling like you're on the right path around this time every year lol. Been my struggle for 4 or 5 years now. Liked Blanks 4 years ago, Like Blanks now LOL.

[@linuslundqvist2639]

By far your best song so far! I love how genuine it feels!

[@davidsomavillaherrera9005]

I just love this man.

[@mariathies225]

Aaahhhh I love you, pure talent. relatable, humble, funny, charming, just plain amazing! So sad I couldn't go to your tour. Keep up the awesome work!!! ❤🎉

[@xella3525]

ooo cool to see more in depth break downs of the songs, especially vocals. Amazing stuff!

[@moominisunoffical]

You’re such a cool music producer! I’m so grateful to you cause now I write my songs with self love and comfort thanks to you! ☀️🌙

[@LYN4X]

This song really came at the perfect time in my life. Just went through a break up, as well as my entire life just changing over the summer, facing reality. I really need to find myself again.

[@dawsonblandmedia]

[@jonathanmoellman]

While I'm not really into your musical style, it somehow works with your awesome lyrics, which are hyper-relatable!! Congrats on a very successful song!

[@neverbeen984]

[@MusicbyBlanks]

thank you so much! will do!

[@oliverrhys5351]

I’ve never found your music before, was searching through KZbin for inspiration for helping my friend write some music (I have no background besides piano as a kid, lmao) and honestly im so happy I found this? this is phenomenal, and it speaks to me as somebody who uses music to cope man I instantly wanna’ use this track for inspiration so badly for something now 😅

[@oliverrhys5351]

To add, just because I feel like people need to be more open about mental health, as somebody with a lot of identity confusion disorders, the chorus and the opening verse hits so hard man, this is impressively real music

[@carlinschneider6831]

blanks writes the most honest lyrics he's ever written and everyone is like "omg are u ok bro" give artists the space they need to write depressing stuff! it's a lot of times healthy to just get that stuff out.

[@Daisyflower7022]

Sounds awesome. As always, love watching your process.

[@AlsoManas]

thanks for the song buddy i needed it :')

[@zwenz365]

My production inspo for real. Well done, Simon. You never disappoint.

[@curiosityleads]

[@Carandmotorcyclefreak]

Ik luister altijd je liedjes en houw van je verschillende stijlen maar did lied deze was zo goed met all deuntjes en de tekst echt perfect super knap en mooi je bent waarschijnlijk wel 1 van de beste Nederlandse zangers veel succes met alle dingen in het leven en ik hoop dat je nog heel lang geniet van muziek maken en doet wat goed voor je is! ❤

[@wiktoria_dyszy]

Masterpiece, love your vids, your excitement makes me go and practice more songwriting and music production which I neglected lastly 😊 thanks for sharing your music and your process of making it ❤

[@gyanlobaba231]

Hey blanks can you teach us how to come up with lyrics. How to come up with a plot. How to find an idea on what to write. A complete video dedicated to lyrics.

[@aishiadatta]

This song is so so good, playing it on repeat on Spotify!

[@NoHappinessLeft]

When you're at your lowest you can be the most creative. When I once got dumped years ago I made the best song I ever could.

[@marii9640]

i love how much you love making music

[@LuddeB]

That's just incredible, everything got its own space, complementing the others perfectly! Real summer hit this one! And we cant forget that singing, incredible voice, what mic is that??
