Here’s a song I wrote that was inspired from my re-reading of the #heartstopper graphic novel all over again. I know it doesn’t fit the heartstopper mixtape vibe, but this song aligns with the feelings I get when reading this beautiful story, 

Thank you again @aliceoseman for creating and sharing heartstopper. You’ve left a positive impact in so many lives with this story, and us fans can’t thank you enough for it.

(This is another heartstopper post, just fyi) I love this series, and I wanted to contribute something to it. Love all the fanart for it, but I can’t draw for shit.

Volume one was a ride: seeing both our favorite boys wrestle through their own emotions. I wanted to try and convey those feelings into sound.   What stuck with me when reading this graphic novel was that there was no real indication of what type of music Nick and Charlie preferred. The most we’re given is that Charlie plays the drums. So I tried my shot at doing something about it. With the help of Charli XCX’s vocals (<3), I wrote a song that I felt encapsulated the personal confusion that Nick and Charlie experienced in their first episodes together: Love, friendship, acceptance, mixed signals, truth, communication. Just some of the many emotions that I feel they experienced from their first encounters. These emotions...wrapped in love, but covered with the facade of self doubt: it’s their enemy. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did making it. <3

They say, "Keep your friends close" But you're closer, I love when you're here I'm so far away sometimes, I'm distant, yeah You might help me, intimacy I'll admit, I'm scared Maybe, maybe you can reach me, yeah

Maybe you're my enemy Now I've finally let you come a little close to me, oh Maybe you're my enemy You're the only one who knows the way I'm really feelin' Now it's really clear to me You could do a little damage, you could cut me deeper Maybe you're my enemy Baby, you're my enemy, yeah

Two songs that I made, 10 years apart. It’s crazy hearing the difference, even if both tracks are roughly the same in genre. Not bad for someone who has been extremely on and off with making music in general. Music production has always been a hobby for me, and it’s always been for me. I understand that you can’t please everyone. That’s an impossible game to win (especially for music) but as long as I was having fun doing it and enjoying what I was making, that’s all that really mattered.  You only really hear the success stories for artists that start small and make it big, but rarely hear the all too common stories of those that don’t make it. I always wondered how different life would be if I decided to pursue music full time, but I’m sure the grass is always greener.  Besides, I really like where I am in life right now. <3 🎶 i like i like i like i like i like everything about you 🎶
