You ever feel so low here?

I posted a singing clip earlier and got 2 replies. 22 views and just 2 people gave feedback. It makes you feel so disheartened. I try to reason maybe they just didnt like the genre of song or didn't have time to write something. I am grateful for the ones who did reply!

Music videos often go unnoticed and are underappreciated (see my posts) BUT I had a post that did abysmally and I reposted and it did very well...whether shift change or time of day sometime we get no satifaction

@jshm2 Me thinking I should get gigs here or that producers would be finding me would be me thinking on any level of fame...this was me simply venting and feeling sad that many had listened, but didnt reply or say anything. You start to think geesh maybe Im bad. But I even said I reasoned out why many perhaps hadnt. Ty for your idea on YouTube channel..I thought if that recently but I dont know if I could SHOW myself too...theres a LOT LOT LOT of people there, Im so shy. 😞

@Coralmist You know how many professional musicians, some of them legends, faced a ton of rejection before hitting it off?

One was an opening act for other bands, the fans hated him and would boo him off stage and sometimes throw stuff at him. If he had given up, the world would never have known him. The late Prince. Does anyone dare say he sucked? Not only was he huge, but he was a producer for other acts.

Dolly Parton was another. One of the execs said, "This girl just cannot sing."

Joan Jett started her own record label after 23 rejections by other labels.

And about shyness - when Rod Stewart first started out, he was so stage-shy that he would hide behind the amplifiers during the concerts.

When people succeed, all we see is the finished product, we do not see the BS they had to endure on the way there.

@CestManan So true, you dont think of that, that theres so many writers, singers, celebs, who got a big NO, before someone, then many, said YES! Ty for that reminder 🍀🦋😃

I’m sorry sweetie I’m at a show and can’t hear anything but I did see it and made a note to check it out when I could.

Often.

I am ignored most of the time, like most old men are on here.

My last post just linked to a video with a lovely, busty woman (yet she was vulgar!). It has 43 views so far, yet only one person commented.

But that is typical when I post stuff like this. I bet most viewers are men wanting to see the lady, and they have no interest in talking to an old man, LOL!

I confess I often do not click on song posts of others, because I am mostly interested in original content. Also, often I am on my smartphone in public, and do not want to disturb people around me with sound.
No. My poetry isn't exactly teeming with likes either, I try to see it as it reaches those who need it and its nothing personal if it doesn't do as well as I might like it to do.

Unless it's somebody who's really popular, most of us it is pretty hit or miss about whether or not our post gets attention.

Ducky · 31-35, F
I’m sorry. 😞 It’s this damn algorithm they screwed up here. I’ll go take a look right now.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@Ducky aww thx Ducky🐦
reflectingmonkey · 51-55, M
@Ducky you're right, they kind of ruin this place with all those categories and stuff. sometimes the most recent post I can see is 30 minutes ago then I click on a few random categories and find some posts that are just 2 or 3 minutes ago.

My first thought when I heard you sing was, how good would she be with music playing, you have a great talent.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@Banksy83 aww Thank you Banksy!!

Looking at the positives , few as they may be , is a way better way of thinking than focusing on the negatives .

I think people who are looking for such a thing need to see it. Other people probably won't even give it a try.

I'm at work and cannot listen. However, know that I'm always up to "hear" from you!
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@uncalled4 No worries, and thanks🍀
Lilnonames · F
