    Jesseeeeeeeee!!! This is so awesome! YOU are so awesome!! Thank u so much for sharing this beautiful, creative, finished product here — full circle, I LOVE it! Such a privilege and a joy for all of us here to get a peek into your creative process and cheer u on along the way 🙌. Love the video, man. Especially when the mysterious twin “voyeurs” arrive – i was like, “woah!” The Jesse triplets reminded me of a fantastic, hilarious show I’m watching featuring multiple Paul Rudds, called Living With Myself (on Netflix … hilarious and amazing concept).

    So proud of you, homey!! 🤩⚡️🤩

    Greetings fellow wanderer. I gave two quick listens (with eyes closed so as not to be distracted by the visuals) and enjoyed the trip. That bass synth is biggg and takes a large part of the sonic landscape. On second listen I came to an observation or two. I wonder if selectively frequency ducking the bass synth in the first half the song would make the shifting moods of the other instruments more available OR (and I like this idea better) hold off on the bass completely until halfway ish into the song and when it drops, it would really change the feel dramatically for the second half of the song.

    I too am guilty of working on things ad nauseum and delaying letting it see the light of day outside of my peeps. Well done.

    Thanks for listening, Paul! Those are some really good ideas, I only wish you were on here last month so I could have tried those out before finishing the song! 😂 I didn’t even consider doing anything with that bass, but that would have been another area where I could have added some more movement and dynamics! It’s definitely on my radar now though! Thanks! – JLew

    Finished?? That’s just the first of the finished versions. I’m finding myself taking stuff out of a song the more I work on it. More efficient use of musical elements means more space for the MOST important elements until you go too far. That is an art in itself I’m sure.

    ps I’ll have to back and listen again but this time watch the video. I like ghosts! 👻

    Dope track and video, Jesse! Definitely a trip as Paul said. Sounds really sync-friendly to me alongside Dana’s Paul Rudd remark.
