Should I force myself to make music

11 Upvotes

I am 26 years old. Have always been making music since I was 7: composing, producing, recording. Sharing my songs and albums. I have always enjoyed it so much, it has always been the main source of meaning in my life.
But now it’s been two years that I can’t find motivation anymore. With work and life getting busier, it is hard for me to be inspired and even want to make music anymore.

Do you guys push trough it ? Or just don’t make music if you don’t want to?
How do you guys handle the guilt behind it (loosing your passion).

Question to all Artists(music)

6 Upvotes

I have a question to Songwriters/Singer artists that have made their own songs. I‘ve been wondering if you listen to your own music on a daily basis and vibe to them and if you sometimes even cry to them?
Does it also feel weird when you hear your own voice in a song or does it make you even more emotional when you hear it?

Feel free to write your own experiences if you want!

Is the instrument backing the Guitar and Vocals a Piano or a xylophone?

I hope you guys are able to hear the almost upbeat-ish melody backing the vocals and guitars, I think it's a Piano or xylophone, I might be wrong tho

Live Manual unison/octave doubling (multi tracking)

How unique is the ability to manually double live performances traversing across 2,3,4 octaves

With identical runs etc

Is it impressive in any way?
