Thanks, I'm fairly new at this process,I just got my guitar a little over a year ago and it's so different than making electronic music which is where I started. it's easy to start a song but not so easy to finish lol, I have a lot of partially done songs.

What you have here is really good -- coming from a 30-year composer! You have something here with this song, even as it is ... keep going with it!
Do you ever post your music on hive? I realize I mostly see your art and writing content on alien art hive but just took a scroll through your blog and don't find music. I remember ages ago seeing one of your piano videos on YouTube!
I do ... getting back into it after a long time away ... this was me for Hive Open Mic last week ...

... but my writing in 3-5 communities runs circles around my music here. When I was younger I was a more prolific composer, and I write for my community choirs quite a bit still, but the prolificity in my early middle age has definitely switched over to writing and fractal art, for now ... but like I said, I'm working my way back toward music and may do something tonight or tomorrow for this Hive music festival...
Oh cool just listened to that one and a few others on your channel, I can definitely see that sounding epic with a full choir. I hear you on being busy I want to do all the things but it's so hard haha, need more hours in the day! I was going to try to participate in open mic more but the last few topics didn't inspire me much and I have a hard time making anything complete in a week. I only managed to enter one so far 😂
My choir stuff is on that Spirituals meet gospel meet Beethoven type of level -- but, alas, epic choirs went down with the pandemic, so I bring that feeling to my open mics as much as I can! We do what we can until we can do more!
I do open mic when I feel like I connect with the prompts too ... I tend to get on a run and then see a prompt and be like, "What? ... nope," and then forget about it for a while, and then come back and get on a little run ... and so forth ... on Hive there are things I do every day and every week and every two weeks, but if it doesn't fit in there, then it will be spotty, because life keeps on happening and I am always going to choose to prioritize my "scheduled" content. Musical inspiration just doesn't fit in there ... but that's OK. It probably isn't supposed to!
