This happens to me every time I make music. When I am working on a piece of music I gradually land on something, and it begins to sound good, and I keep listening to it on repeat and working on it and enjoying it.
A couple of days later I listen to it again and I realise that it is completely messy and unenjoyable to listen to, like always.
I still enjoy making music though. Even if the music only seems good in the moment.
Well actually there have been one or two exceptions, where a piece of music was actually enjoyable to listen to later, and I could genuinely be proud of it.
I have tried to take some classes to improve my music and it’s helped a bit. But I think that because it is a hobby and I don’t put in enough hours, it’s never going to be great. Hopefully I can have a few more songs that turn out really good though, even if most will be crap.
