Ok so

I just read all 70+ comments on yesterday’s post. My god. How are you all? Drop a line please.

I worked a 13 hour song day today. Basics, vocals, comps, roughs, notes.

All you need to know is that I’m working my little artist ass off….and did a dozen takes of the same song today and have total lost-perspective studiohead….but am ALIVE WHILE drowning in a sea of happiness finally to be back at real piano work. All shall be revealed.

I wanted to take a moment to share some of the comments from the video post I made yesterday about the Song I Didn’t Send you. (Watch it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/143734209?utm_campaign=postshare_creator)

There’s something magical about a moment like this on the internet, where I circle down to the point of it all and you remind me who I am, and how this all works, and why I always have been me and not somebody else. My identity has been dragged so far off the course lately that it’s almost like starting over sometimes; and sometimes that’s a huge blessing. I get to come back to the basics. Why make art? Why pay for a patreon? Why help an artist? A person? A mother? A mother? A non-profit in NYC? Why anything?

Well.

I think this has never been more true.

If you love me as a person, and you never listen to a single song I’ve made, or that the band has made, that’s fine.

If you want to support my patreon at this point so that I can rove tiny house to tiny house, playing songs in private for parties of 1 to 4 people, I think I’m down. I promise to document.

Maybe this desire to be more loved as a person than an artist makes me a bad artist.

But maybe it makes me a good person.

Maybe I can only afford to say that on a day where I’ve been making music for nearly 13 hours and I KNOW I’m not full of shit.

Anyway …..

Thank you all for your beautiful comments on the post.

You get me.

You all. You really do. Fucking….thank you

Wish me more luck tomorrow : back I go into the cave

BOOOM

My (incredibly amazing) wife and I have VERY different taste in music, and because I have some severe, undiagnosed/untreated ADHD I constantly have at least one song or another running through my head—so she often “song checks” me to see what’s on the mental radio at any given moment for her own entertainment. The last 3 times she’s done this, it’s been some Dolls song or another, and she randomly asked me yesterday if I thought I’d like your music as much as I do if it were someone else singing it. And it made me stop and think, because I’m pretty sure she’s onto something. Your music is incredible, but I don’t think it would speak to me nearly as much as it does if it weren’t for you being the fantastic, multitudes-containing human being that you are. All that to say that I agree whole-heartedly with Suzanne’s comment—and you’ve summed up exactly why I’m still here in this post 🔥

You say you'd rather be loved as a person than loved as an artist? Well I love you both as a person AND as an artist. You'll just have to learn to live with it... 🤣 Seriously though - I fell in love with the art, and through that got to meet and learn about the person. And now I love both.

Jordan Ashley

I have always loved your earliest art, and admired you from afar as an artist (and a businesswoman/funder under this New Model). The 2025 part of my story relevant here has been falling in love with you as a person. The Patreon is full of people who love your art and, largely apart from that, love you as a person. I didn't know Patreon-Amanda. I didn't know live Amanda. I'd never made it onto a mailing list or to a show. I'd never read your book, though it was on my list. Then I saw you at SheRocks, I met you at Mixi's table, and knowing everything that was available for me to read, and I fell in love with you as a person on January 25, 2025. You are, for me, entirely impossible for me not to love as a person. As a result, I've watched you recount these stories and hints at adverse reactions to your cancellation wishing there was a way for them to understand what was so easy for me to intuit, and that you've only reinforced. I don't pay you for any particular artistic-process-forged widget, I pay you because I want to personally support your continued you-doing. It is absolutely possible to fall in love with you mid-whale. In fact, it happened. Accept it.

This! I don't listen to Amanda-adjacent music. I don't listen to anything else that sounds LIKE this. It's ...simply not [just] the music I'm drawn to.

Thomas Herlofsen

I sometimes think I would prefer being loved as an artist to being loved as a person, but that's probably because I have never been that much loved as an artist. Grass. Fence. All that.

Kelly Adlington

I'm also someone that didn't listen to every thing and watch every video over the many years of being a patron! It just has always felt right. Love you and yall 🖤

DebbieG

I just watched the video from yesterday about the song and I agree with everything said by you and by the rest of us. I wish I could travel east to see some of these shows that keep happening but it's not workable now. Keep doing what you do!

Soso

Very excited about you finally being able to record music! I’m also sneakily churrning out paintings and working on my portfolio in my studio while also trying to be proactive regarding the possibility of opening a small gallery in town together with some artist friends, after a few failed attempts. Buzzing with excitement about the wonderful possibilities, for now. Wish you the same + I hope you’re truly taking care of yourself and your voice. Sending love

Adrienne Danielle

I would much rather support an artist who’s willing to write a song for a thirteen year old’s birthday party because they want to share something special with that person, than an artist who would never even consider going to such a thing at all. I think I have always viewed supporting your Patreon as being about supporting your process, and your ability to keep creating however that may look. The real perk for me is getting to see and read about pieces of your whole process, as a real human artist doing all kinds of work in real-time. I have particularly loved since the switch to monthly that it has all started feeling more organic. Perfectly content to be funding secret songs we’ll never hear as well as secret studio recordings we might. 💕

Am I the only one who feels like I have to go listen immediately to The Point of It All?

Coila

Really want The Holidays to be nice enough. Hosting Thanksgiving and Xmas, which is my preference, but they're coming up and I have so much other stuff to do that it's kind of creating this short circuit in my head and it's hard to do any of the not basic existence stuff rn... 😅 Trying really hard to figure out therapy options that don't suck. I hope it can eventually help.
