It Takes Time for the Money to Grow
№20 — The Very Thing (demo)
The very thing you are is everything / Though all the while / You’ve been going against the tide
Today’s song, no. 20 in the series, is called "The Very Thing."
Every other Friday, I am releasing brand new songs behind the paywall that I’ve just written. To clarify: the demos I share on each Wednesday have been written over the course of years, so you’ll hear material from one month ago or from 4 years prior.
I choose to keep the freshest stuff behind the paywall for two reasons:
It is simply nerve-racking to publicly share a song immediately after it’s written.
I want to build a community of writers and music obsessives who are interested in hearing and discussing my unfinished work and to eventually create a space for others to share their own works-in-progress and receive constructive feedback.
To my paid supporters (and those of you I've sneakily comped, hehe): I am of the opinion that you are single-handedly making the most meaningful gesture toward keeping the independent music community alive. Thank you for this.
For anyone else interested in hearing my entire catalog of demos as I roll them out here on Substack, as well as full access to exclusive covers, live performance videos, and more, you can take out a paid subscription here.
