Highly recommend @brett-gleason.bsky.social to anybody in search of some new music 🎶
I released “Sensory Deprived” today -

A dark, cathartic track about the dissociation of living in a world that demands an immediate response,

(while also teaching us not to trust our intuition)

No answers, just feelings -

Really happy with how this how this came out 🖤 ffm.to/brettgleason...

I got new reading glasses!

But no, I’m not getting old -

I’ve worn these since I was 9, born gramps 🤓

The other app is filled with people furious over short clips of Chappell Roan:

The ultimate cultural divider.

People say she needs media training but I think she’s brilliant,

everything she says gets talked about while she seems to barely care/try

I tried playing this song as a kid but could never hit Billy’s high notes - but now I’m a grown ass tenor man and can sing it however the hell I want 🤘

I love myself so much

that I’m going to keep creating

music from my heart

and releasing it out in the world

even if no one cares.

Feeling fortunate & excited for the future but I didn’t 6 months ago.

It’s wild how fast things can change so I don’t take any of this for granted.

Don’t give up if you can’t identify, one small change can move mountains.
