It's another reason why collaborating can be so exhilarating especially when I send an idea to someone like you and it comes back with things I would never have thought of.

Definitely have that feeling a lot of following the same patterns a lot and I've been trying to find different starting points like a drum loop or sample or perhaps a different instrument as a starter. But this is a lovely song Rachel. sounds like you started with that initial melody on the piano. My problem is often making things too complicated so I'm hoping my next song attempt will be simpler and based on fewer changes. Restriction sometimes helps to encourage us to be creative don't you think.

Cheers indeed to works in progress and being ok with that! This is a beautiful vocal delivery and soft piano accompaniment, you are so easy to listen to!

I definitely have that feeling about a lot of my songs (for me, it’s “oh, another song in G with a similar melody and the same moves happening in chorus and bridge!”). Whether or not you’re being derivative of Rachel Eve, you have created a lovely song here. Oh, and the lyrics are so relatable. “If all of you says no, why do you say yes anyway?” I have been there! Here’s to being a work in progress!

I can hear both musically and lyrically how this is a song of reassurance for yourself. And one you should, I think, be proud of. We're all just works in progress. You rock! Never forget.
