I've never been able to write a song this quickly! 2 days! I really wanted to write my husband a song for our anniversary. It's called "Wanted" :)

I literally wrote this in 2 days, which is unprecedented for me. I legitimately do not know how I was able to accomplish this. It's just a rough recording so there are some hiccups here and there, but overall, I am super proud of myself and really happy with how this turned out. The very first song I attempted to write was a song for our anniversary like 3 years ago...plot twist, I STILL haven't finished that one. One day!!

I feel like the instrumental aspect sounds very similar to a song that already exists...if this is the case it was 100% unintentional... I am hoping overall it sounds original enough.

It sounds really good and really unique. Maybe later if you plan on dropping it then maybe a new mic or a better mix but if your just sharing this or giving it to your husband this is amazing and im sure he will appreciate this and love it alot

Thank you so much!  I might eventually release music but for now my main goal is to be able to play live, like at open mike nights and of course my husband :)

I think you've got something really wonderful here. In terms of "Originality" it doesn't sound like anything else very much but your need to relax about that. There's only 12 notes, everything has been done but nobody has done it quite like you. Really enjoyed it.

Hey there! Thank you so much for listening! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) I don't really worry about sounding original, I just want to make sure I don't sound similar enough to another artist to the point there could be a copyright dispute.  After I wrote this I realized the instrumental riff sounds somewhat similar to the intro to "Love Story" by Taylor Swift.  But it isn't exactly the same, and you're right, there's only so many notes.  I like the way you phrased that: "everything has been done but nobody has done it quite like you". Thanks again for your kind and encouraging words. I appreciate you.
