I can still vividly recall how I felt when I first heard it. I'd never heard this Allman brothers song, and Google didn't know about it. But it was so good. What I felt was innocence. I listened to it over and over again, and I couldn't stop crying.
I can't expect you to be the same person you were when you wrote it, but you are the one who wrote it. You may think you have outgrown this music but this music is so high and if anything, you may have fallen down from it. I'm so scared that you churn out filler just to be social or get back at society. I want to hear music that touches my heart so much, it makes me weep. I'm scared that you would rather be mediocre than creative. And a lot of rock music is mediocre.
Perhaps it matters not to people who love you but your vocals are not strong enough to lead, so it's important that the guitar overpowers everything else. If you were looking to be punk rock then your vitality/power is nowhere close to Amyl, and she's not playing an instrument. Hide behind the guitar Grace, and make sure your studio guitar tone is better than everyone else's. Better meaning bigger. Everyone else meaning Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Randy Rhoads, etc. You might become a better singer if you put in the practice and gain maturity. As it is now, you might as well go look for haunted tunnels. Don't rush the next album. If you study music history, you will know that musicians spend 24/7 at the studio when they're serious about the music.
