Sup yall! Hard to say what this song is really about. Ever since I was a teenager I've dreamed of becoming a professional musician and for most of my life, I just knew it would happen. I was willing to live in a van for five years and spend countless hours on the craft because I knew that someday it would all work out. After the pandemic though it's like I was getting older and things just weren't working out the way I figured they would have. Went back to working my old job. Music progress slowed. Really started to lose touch with myself creatively and honestly just kind of began to feel like I failed. I can see now that this isn't true but in the moment, I was pretty upset about it all. The best way I can describe it is with a Toy Story reference: That scene when Buzz jumps for the window but falls and breaks his arm? That's kind of where I was at mentally during my period of silence. The good news is I'm mostly on the other side of it all now. I can see that I didn't fail. I can see that it's not over. I can see that I never even made music to become successful anyway so why would that ever factor into how I feel about myself as an artist? So in summary, I'm back. The goal is to post at least one song per month for the rest of this year and I think that will be more than possible because of how much shit I've got recorded and ready to roll. I really appreciate everybody who still has their notifications turned on for my videos and continues to listen. If you're interested, I did just print a new batch of shirts. They're available on my website (www.FeraltheEarthworm.com). There's also always the option to contribute a little bit monthly if you're into that idea. It would be awesome to work less and focus on music more but then again, that's basically all of our dreams so it feels silly to even ask for that so either way, I appreciate you. Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting. Hope you're doing well out there! see ya next month

Honestly your music has helped me with hard times in life more than almost anything else. Thankyou for doing what you love and sharing it with us. To me you are famous, it's just a sign about how fucked up the world is that you aren't rich from it. xD love from Australia!!

Dude you probably have no idea how much your music means to me, to so many of us. Yeah of course i wish you had 1000 times more views on here, that you were able to create full time, you are one of the good ones mate, and i only hope the best for you. Thankyou for all your awesome music, you have been part of my life for so many years!

One of Middle Earths most notorious Wyrms, THE EARTHWYRM!

You are the only musician that every new tune gets added to my daily playlist automatically. Your music amongst a few people around me is spoken about with reverence, im not just saying that either. Thankyou for doing what you love, you make the world a better place!!

Thank you for your music bro

Feral, you are a poet, live the life of a poet and you will blossom, as they say, grow your garden and the butterflies will come

Much love to you ❤ i saw you in madison a few years ago and im forever grateful i went to that show.

Blessed with your presence

Feral, you are a freaking BEAST! Yes, your art can be your profession! I want this for you!! Damn, good ish right here! 🤯

Glad to see you back at it! Love your music.

Start playing your stuff in rides -couple from Houston

Your lyricism will never not amaze me, dude you have TRUE talent

always a joy to get to hear some new earthworm !!

I feel like life is back to normal now that Feral is back! We’ve all missed you dude!

Track is amazing, and the video is 10/10! Killed it as always Feral!

This is awesome Feral, absolutely feeling it. So happy you are still making music, this is immediately one of my favs!

One of the greatest to come from austin. An honor to have met you will always be a hero and inspiration to me.

Bring back those boom bap vibes brooo! That pure fire bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Smooth song again, cheers from Germany

Thank you for making this and being real bout your disillusionment, I'm glad you snapped out of it but it's very comforting to see someone with so much talent admit that they felt like they weren't doing enough, and questioning themselves. I think now that you've turned the corner on that, it's up from here! Very excited to see your rise, it's incredibly inspiring!

Ayo mans is back

much love from the woodlands brother

feraaaaal love your music man remember people out here in this world listen to you for comfort your music makes my day so much more enjoyable!!!!!!!

Love this song!

Lyrics: Music gave me reasons to fight // On the days and nights I felt I couldn't breathe I would just write // Losing all sense of self it's almost as if I'd vanish // The ultimate bandage, a magic blade that I could brandish // Took offensive stances and handled the avalanches // Of substantial damages dealt by family and romance it's // Been turbulent but that's okay, I'm ignoring what's there // When music is the most important thing then you don't care // Why would I focus where, the problem is located? // When I could just escape it? I think often I created // For the same reasons I skated. Just to put some distance // Between me and the forces fucking up my whole existence // I thought that with persistence success would just be a given // What's the difference between a hallucination and a vision? // This positions confusing, what I knew is no longer solid // Don't let the music stop, I'm too codependent to call it // Some days are terrific while other days are so bad // Oscillate from great to feeling randomly sad // Caught up in the past and things that could never be // I used to think I knew the magical solution that would set me free Days n Daze's song "Post Party Depression" // Summarizes 2022 my confession // Is for the time I questioned if art could be my profession // Used to never second guess it because my success was predestined // I just knew it. This truth was like a personal prophecy // One day music's kernel would blossom into the tallest tree // And offer me, all the desperately needed shade // As if to suffer was okay because one day I would be made // Saved from the trauma that's plagued me since I was young // In the face of crazy painful situations I just sung // And thus forever clung, to the hopes of what could be // Put on the rose tinted glasses so I don't have to see // Told myself that I was free, then adopted an illusion // More conducive to a crusty rapper dude from Houston // I now seek a solution that isn't exactly magical // But rather one that's from within, long lasting, and actual Some days are terrific while other days are so bad // Oscillate from great to feeling randomly sad // Caught up in the past and things that could never be // I used to think I knew the magical solution that would set me free "It has to be something else And the best I've come up with is this... It is a particular moment A magic moment that occurs after the placing of a bet And before the result of that bet It is when the dice are in the air And as long as they are there, time stops As long as the red dice are in the air The gambler has hope" - Norm Macdonald

♥️

Don't stop!

Days n Daze and Norm MacDonald in a song from the man who joined Wax and Mac Lethal on tour a lil while back. Oof, if Jeff Rosenstock got tossed in, that'd pretty much be a millenial's dream stew.

Love it man please keep the new music coming...saw you play w/Crypt and Mac Lethal in Brooklyn right before the pandemic hit and it was a great show!

Here's a fun random memory from that show: We had rented this dodge caravan to tour with and the side sliding door was automatic. You just pull the handle and it would close itself. All good, right? Wrong. We'd been in the venue for at least an hour or two when I realized I was about to run out of stickers. Had more in the van so I figured I'd go back real quick and grab some When I approach the vehicle, the side door is legit wide open ... haha, in brooklyn!! I was like broooooooooooo we got robbed ..... but miraculously nothing had been taken out. I don't know how the door opened (or maybe it never even closed and we thought it did) but basically that was a lucky ass situation. I couldn't believe that everything was still there lol Later that night I had to park the van like a fuckin mile from the hotel and walk by myself at two in the morning past all these sketchy characters. Also the last time I was in brooklyn we'd stayed at that same hotel and heard gunshots outside so walking down that road by myself that late was quite anxiety inducing shout out to new york city man it's always a good time and I mean that shit sincerely Thanks for coming out all those years ago and continuing to rock with me!
