Okay.... There's something that has been bothering me... And unless i vent it out i won't be able to move forward...
So... The thing is - I'm a novice singer. I started singing since last month only. Although i'm happy with the progress i've made since i Started, still, my singing is nowhere close to professional singers and can never be... Cos i don't even want to become a professional singer. I started singing because it made me happy. It was a fun task. But lately the fun and happiness has been replaced with stress to sound perfect... And it is pushing me away from singing. Cos obviously I'm a class 10 student, at the max, in singing. However the songs I'm attempting are sung by postgraduate or phd level singers. Therefore expecting me to sing at their level would be ridiculous. I very well know my shortcomings, limitations and where i made mistakes or fell short of perfection. I'm singing the song and believe me i know where something went wrong... but it's a bit discouraging for someone else to point that out. The ones who actually sing know how much effort goes into making a song sound easy to ears. But Just because a song sounds easy doesn't mean that it would have required lesser efforts to sing. On the contrary singing has to be so good as to make it seem effortless or easy.... and I'm definitely NOT that kind of a singer neither do i aspire to be one.
Anyways the thing i want to say is that if i expect praise i should be ready for criticism too ... But at this point i want neither. I just want the original fun and happiness i got from singing when i started singing without the stress of expectations or tension of being perfect. So from now on , even though i will continue to post songs, As and when i feel like, but i will not tag anyone from now on. I don't want anyone's praise neither any judgement. I will do it just for my own happiness. If u like my efforts feel free to give a like if not u can just ignore.
Thank you.
