Song procrastination
I’ve been a songwriter for years. I have an issue that’s really affecting my mental health. I can’t bring a song fully into fruition. I have literally like 60-70 tracks that are about 60%-90% complete but I can’t finish them ( be it production, lack of lyrics, not having a good structure) . I am really struggling with keeping myself interested with them. When I face a small rut in the song I immediately lose interest, close the session and open a new one and start creating something new from scratch. I am starting to think I might have some sort of undiagnosed ADHD. This is fucking up my head as I’m now 25 and have had plans to drop a solo EP since I was literally like 18, and the way things are going I will be an old man before I even think of releasing an album. I know I’m still relatively young but I thought I would have so much more achieved by now. People that I know must literally think I do absolutely no music when in reality I’ve been making so much but nothing that has been ready to release. A four track EP isn’t even that crazy of an achievement. I have released music in the past with a band and I had one solo release that was taken down. The reason this is affecting me so much is that I really want to share my music with the world as it’s a part of my most personal self. Maybe the problem could be due to the fact that I’m doing all of this on my own and could use outside ears when I have tunnel vision. Does anyone experience anything similar? I’m honestly very depressed over this subject and have a horrible feeling of helplessness. I honestly feel like I’m sabotaging myself and pissing valuable time up against the wall.
