lol if rucklo doesnt keep banning me from the forums for stupid piddly things..
and you have to realize that 5 years is a very long time - its a constant struggle just to keep these songs alive - and pretty soon - I'll sink beneath the waves and everyone will forget me. any new songs in 2008 have gotten good reviews - but not very many - and are constantly blammed to hell. It's just too much - I can't do it anymore. There is nothing to gain from it. I've been here so long - yet i've gotten NOTHING.
Half the mods seem to hate me for some unknown reason, others think ive stolen my work - that its not possible to create so many songs in such a short time. And whats the point of keeping making music, when half of you don't even LISTEN to the 200 odd ones from the years past that I've done? I am not just here to satisfy your need to hear current songs.
I stay for the fans - and I respond to all because I feel it is my duty to at least grace them with a response - after all - they took the time to review me - and for the record - I have about 5000 reviews that I've received - and ive responded to every single one of them :)
I get about 10 new ones a day on average.
and the only reason this song is gettign attention is because its on the top 30 - its gathered dust for 2 years because noone could be bothered to click it.
And yes this song does have the potential to be epic - but I also know that there will be half of you who hate it - that are elitist and hate what ive done - at least this way I cut it off right before I could ruin it.
more than anything I need a break - I need to free myself from the prison the audio portal has become.
thanks, you and everyone else, for all of your support over the years.
