please answer... by alexsmind

This is a simple, instrumental sludge/doom track that is inspired by Boris and decided to dedicate it to a silly subject I battle with, the ability to take personal phone calls (the title is basically me telling myself to please answer).

I have a few issues with them. My past history with personal phone calls are usually bad, extremely long, and have things that happen during them that cause triggers and traumatic memories. As ridiculous as that sounds, it always seems to happen. I also have a struggle making calls because of my worry about the other person is irrationally great and I have had some past experiences where me just simply calling to check on them hurt the relationship (I know, they aren't the right people, but it hurts and doesn't change that it is one of those difficult memories that comes up as my brain likes to do that to me often). So I have gravitated to almost never taking or making phone calls unless I have an expectation that it will be ok. I know it is a hindrance in my life, but I am working on it the best I can. I see improvements but it is very slow, just like this song!

I hope you enjoy one way or another. It has been a while since I made something like this (like REALLY doom/sludge), and I kind of had the idea in mind, so here it is.

Music to feel one with the universe and the inner self, ranging from silence to noisy, dark and bright, but mostly guitar-centered soundscapes. Feel free to listen at your leisure, no pressure.

Most topics are based on my mental health. Sometimes it is very raw, but I just have to express it that way. Thank you all for your kindness and understanding.
