///08 Thank You

I just wanted to say thanks, really, to anyone who's ever taken the chance on listening to what I do. Whether or not they’re listening to this, and to everyone who's ever helped me out. So, uh, thanks. I know that's brief, but, it’s hard to put it in words

The next and final song is a cover of the Powapowa-P song "Strobe Light". I decided to close with it for similar reasons I opened with the first track. It never really had a home anywhere else. I recorded it in 2018, right before moving out of my hometown, played it live once, put it up on soundcloud for a bit, and now it's here. But where I like that first track a lot, I've never been very happy with this cover. Even when I released it. I want to say "I couldn't possibly be happy with a cover of one of my favorite songs", but I'm thrilled with how that Brave Little Abacus cover came together. I think, maybe part of it, is that it sort of proved to me that everything in the original operates in perfect sync. That's not to say it's uncoverable or anything, just that when I try to look at it at any distance, I always see it as its whole. Hopefully that makes sense. I took another stab at mixing it more to my liking and still didn't get there, but I know if I don’t put it out and leave it out once and for all I’m going to continue toying with the idea of futzing with it more. I'm happy to get it off my mind

In general, this release has been a process of decluttering, and being comfortable sharing more than my very best, and now that it’s all out I feel a tremendous weight off my shoulders. I feel like I can approach future projects without concern for how past material fits into it. I can just, like, I dunno, hang out with whatever comes next for me, when and how it comes to me. It rules. Thanks again
