- Writing a good song with regular instruments is hard enough, but can I do it with random things I have lying around the house? Let's find out!

Very personal lyrics, thank you for being so open.
you're so talented whoever doesn't appreciate your music probably does not understand music at all. your videos are so well done and I'm sure you're gonna get so much more success on CZcams! Lots of love and success to you!
I'm so grateful for your support. It is incredibly encouraging and gives me the courage I need to keep going on the CZcams journey. Thanks!
That's a bold statement. You are allowed to not appreciate something even if you comprehend it. A lot of people understand and respect the artistry and musicality of metal bands and songs, yet don't appreciate metal as a genre. I'm not saying anything about this video or channel, just pointing out how toxic this kind of rethoric CAN be.
I don’t like it, not because its bad but because it’s really not my kind of music. I like symphonic, progressive and Neo classic metal so it was very unlikely that I would like. Way too simple for my taste. But I’m sure people that like hip hop/beat might like it and good for them and good for him. There is an audience for everything. And he did put some effort into it, had a nice Zelda Song Of Storm segment, and it was original with his “instruments”. Because I don’t like doesn’t mean he doesn’t have talent and it doesn’t mean that I don’t know anything about music either.
@@zynosgd9982 yes I agree that’s what I meant.
Your editing and pacing is fantastic, and not only that but your music skills are on point too
you are such an inspiration. i wasn't expecting such a deep message behind a song written with random household objects lol.
It's all about the message!
I Love this kind of experimental creativity!
I call this "foley artist writes a song" 😅
this is such a cool way to build instrument sounds
It's guaranteed to be unique too, which counts for quite a bit for me. I love music with character!
Dude, we are definitely cut from the same cloth! After a nice mid-summer rain. find yourself one of those millimetre-deep sidewalk puddles, and bounce a basketball into it - in tempo. Boom! One of the greatest snare drums ever!
It's absolutely mind-blowing how almost everything makes sound. And with today's tools, you can make anything sound like anything. Pretty wild stuff! You could easily make a sweet basketball beat using the ball, the rim, the net, and the backboard. I'm thinking of doing some videos like that.
The final song is great, the lyrics are profound and honest. The whole process is inspiring! Thanks for sharing and keep writing music! I can identify with the experience of being ambitious and unable to keep up with your own expectations. It's not the people who doesn't like your music: it's you! You haven't accepted your own process. Be patient and supportive with your own self and things will come through time. You are already sounding great.
Nice work - guessed the wineglass! Its always a tough decision about how much to just do your own thing and how much to "target" and audience. These are the best times ever to be able to focus in option one, even if it rarely pays.
The CZcams game is interesting because when I force myself out of my comfort zone to make an engaging video or try a new concept, my first instinct is to resist it. But eventually, I always end up finding the fun and creating something I'm proud of- and I learn a lot during the process.
no need to mention how skilled of a musician you are, but you lyrics was phenomenal. Its hard to describe in words how authentic and great the lyrics was! blown away by your talent! the word talent here sounds a bit cheap! Lets put it this way. blown away by your work!
I can't thank ya enough for the love and support! Ever since I've been doin' the CZcams thing I've been putting more effort into the lyrics. So glad to hear you enjoyed them!
0:17 instant ear to ear smile. Love it.
I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time. This was awesome and I love that you used the song of storms during the vocal break.
You’re definitely going to have a lot of subscribers on CZcams. Your videos are perfect in terms of quality and content.
If you put your heart and soul out there, there'll undoubtedly be an audience that loves it.
Well said man! Very inspirational.
7:36 YOOOO IT'S SONG OF STORMS
Was not expecting that one lol
Damn , how could people say they didn't like your music, you sound like all my favorite bands/artists in one person ! Keep rocking!
“Constantly killing it.” Very true!
Glad you agree and so glad you enjoyed it!
I heard that Song of Storms you snuck in there ;)
Good stuff, keep going if it brings you joy!
I love watching people coming up with wacky ideas like this and then implementing that into their musical creations. This whole thing makes me come to think about foley artists. It’s sort of like mixing a foley artist and a musical composer into one in order to create something unique. It was very interesting and entertaining to watch. Thank you and keep up the great work.
I'm a full-time filmmaker (my day job) and the work of foley artists is unbelievable to me. They are definitely the unsung heroes of the film industry. Sound is half of what you experience when you watch something, but most people don't think about it like that. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for checking it out!!
your attitude is so refreshing thank you for this!!
Your music is not my cup of tea (metalhead here) but you're clearly very talented, the music is well made and I enjoy watching your process. Thanks for another great video.
Your comedy is great and the positive message is awesome.
I appreciate that!
Brilliant, love the sounds how creative and matched with a very personal song which I bet a lot of other people can relate to as well
I don't usually write a lot of comments. But here I have to write in support of the channel. Dude you inspire people from the other side of the globe. Best wishes from Ukraine
amazing, educational and so much fun to watch you create - keep on keeping on - you're doing everything right!
Thank you! Will do!
This is so awesome!! Thanks for sharing your talent Spencer 😁
Absolutely love your work brother! Truly inspirational, educational and genuinely amazing content. The message about feeling of inadequacy in your creative work hits home and was something I faced a lot. Youre crushign it bro, just keep going!
Much love.
Will do, and thank you so much for the support!
Great, someone with your musicality can turn everything into real, honest music, love it ❤
And maybe it's more of envy when someone tells you that your music ain't worth anything, keep up, you're awesome 👍🎶🎹
Will do, and thank you so much for the kind words!
Practally therapy. You did NOT waste your suffering! You accepted the pain and wounds and transformed them into tools that yielded musical results. Those results provide a life lesson to live meaningfully despite one’s experience of despair.
Big Cat Dude.
I got lots of Cats sounds including them walking along my Piano.
Kenny Werner's Book is a good read...meditations are on Paw Music...in a play list.
Kenny is a Boss on these things Spencer.
My siblings laugh at my goals and belittle me for even having a dream or a "goal" so I know at least in a miniscule way how you feel.
This is excellent and you always inspire me Spencer.
Another top song and inspiration, thanks always.
Cats are the best! I like dogs but I definitely prefer the felines. I have 4 of them. Isley, (my favorite) is the cat in this video. He's the best pet I've ever had!
@@songsbyspencer Great for Musicians as Dogs are hard to play a lot of music.
I have Leah and Bixby a Mum and her Boy!
Loki passed on he was the best Cat and I was blessed to have him
This was so good and perhaps one the most inspiring videos I've seen for a while. Your song was awesome too, with my only gripe being that it ended. You can bet I dropped a like and subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really like your instrumentation and your videos are well produced. Nice work.
So talented and entertaining. YOU ARE TOTALLY ON YOUR SPOT MAN !
Wow. That is so creative. You’ve really inspired me. And good advice too. Keep on doing what you’re doing. Some great rhymes there especially in the rap. Thanks for sharing. Subbed.
Appreciate it!!!
Love your videos, thank you for opening yourself up, being a musician and being real isn't an easy thing to do.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate you appreciating the realness!
You are so talented and your videos always inspire me. Simply one of the best music production channels on CZcams!
That's quite the compliment! Thank you so much it means a lot
Absolutely amazing. You are a talent. So impressive hearing what you created. Well done!!!
Many many thanks!
Your story has touched someone in the heart who's music used to get laughed at and this has inspired me to push harder. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video!
So glad you enjoyed it!
You have a lot of things really going for you. Your video planning, editing, pacing, lighting, etc. are all on point. Your ability to utilize the things around you to create is also superb. Your hard work and never say die attitude are super important and you nail it there. Your lyrics and the emotions behind them are top notch. Your note progression is also enticing and catchy.
Then you have the things that are good but average. This area includes things like the repetitiveness of your music. That is the main drawback to looping. Something that can help with this is adding dynamics and playing 2nd and 3rd takes for each loop that are each different from one another. The difference can be a single note or the whole loop line. Then weave in the different options for each loop to accent parts of the song.
Last we have the area that needs the most work, vocals. The notes you chose are fine but you failed to hit several of them. Some notes you are right on. Others you get close or even hit it but then fall flat immediately. Others still you start flat and end flat. The main area this seems to come into effect is on the highest note of each phrase, even if it is well within your range. The only thing I can think of without working with you is that you are anticipating the next note which is lower and your voice is following before it should. Be sure to focus on each note as its own note, neither effected but what is before it or by what is after it. Then, when each note is dialed in you can focus on phrasing.
I hope this helps. I like where you are going with things and hope to hear more.
P.S. if this isn’t helpful ignore it.
Hey Spencer! That was truly enjoyable and engaging watching your process. But far more than that, I appreciate your message. You've clearly overcome some obstacles and remain true to your process and your art. I have struggled for a long time in 'just starting' to create music for many of the reasons and circumstances you touch on. Thanks for sharing your message and creativity. It has definitely given me some momentum to get after it! Now...off to grab the guitar! Take care.
You can do it dude! Can't wait to hear what you create!
Excellent work!!!
Really cool video & song!! It would be interesting to see your sampling process in detail. Thanks
Incredible creativity and execution! As always a great message to.
Thanks!
Love your creativity! Thanks for being an inspiration :)
Love the message! 😉
Nice Song of Storms quote! Keep that windmill spinning!
BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!
Wow, this video is a masterpiece ❤ So real, raw and creative, what a beautiful expression of you.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! It motivates me more than you could ever know.
At each new song you surprise me more with your creativity, keep going man.
Thank you so much! Will do
Just wanted to say that I really like your music.
Thanks, Miguel! Your support means the world to me
oh man, another banger song. one of my absolute favorite channels. very inspiring!
I appreciate that more than ya know, Robert! Thanks for watching!!!
Superstar!! Great stuff dude!! You're NOT doing anything wrong!!! You are super duper inspiring! Looking forward to hearing much much more from you!!
I can't thank ya enough for the support! Thank you
I alwats enjoy your videos and music! Your content is so well produced, and the lyrics are very meaningful!
People can be rough at times, but I've always equated it to them being insecure and projecting it onto other people
There's not doubt about it. Nobody worth their salt gives unwarranted harsh criticism!
true inspiration in every way ❤
Thanks for this Spencer, really inspiring!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! Your truly talented and cool man, thank you.
And thank you for the support! This inspires me like you wouldn't believe. It's a game of inspiration volleyball
Wow. So creative. You are very talented. This song really worked so well. I love your lyrics. You are a gifted wordsmith for sure.
Ever since I started the CZcams channel I've been really working hard at my lyrics since I know people are listening. I greatly appreciate you checking it out and being supportive!
Extremely good!! Incidentally Last week I spent an evening in the garden making percussion sounds with paving slabs, sticks, compost bin and corrugated iron. Lots of fun making a beat from it. Next melodic sounds. Thanks for the inspiration!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice man! Very nice! Keep up the great work!!
Will do, Wayne!
Your content is inspiring, your songs are great, and your honesty is touching and sincere
I love your ideas, and your unusual style. You are always a treat to watch
I appreciate it!
Dude, you rock! Had a great time watching your video, thanks and take care.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I swear this is a red hot chilli peppers track in another dimension! Awesome work!
Appreciate that!!
Now if only Pink Floyd had just as easy access to samplers and a DAW back in the early 70’s… I would like to see the same done with tape alone 😉
It would be crazy to hear. At the same time I'm glad they did what they did when they did it. Wouldn't wanna risk that epic discography!
I love your work, both the videos and the songs that come out. I can't tell you have been working at this a long time and I'm trying to learn how to break down song making in the beautiful way you have here. ^_^
I try to explain how to write a song a little bit in each video but it's hard to really break down the process since it's an art. I know for a fact that everybody can do it though! Just keep on jamming and you'll keep getting better.
@@songsbyspencer thanks man, your encouragement means a lot! I'll keep working at the craft and hopefully I get to jam with you someday! 🤩
I don't even like this kind of music, and I think it dam awesome. I love it! I think it would even with some understated simplistic guitar in the back ground. IMHO. Keep up the good work!
Will do and thank you!!
I suffered bells palsy during a band practice. Thought I'd had a stroke.
That's crazy! Your bandmates were probably thinking their face melting guitar solos literally melted your face!
I like how around 7:38 he plays part of the Song Storms from Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Great reference!
Majora's Mask is one of the best games of all time. The story, gameplay, and music are all phenomenal. Those games played a huge part in my childhood!
Great stuff - the final result, making instruments and sentiment. For a moment I was a bit worried you'd hit the kitty with a spoon to get an interesting sample. ;)
I thought about that yesterday- making a song just using my cat. But to get the sounds that might be animal abuse lol
You are an inspiration my friend. No doubt.
I'm a little disappointed you didn't take the opportunity to make mayonnaise an instrument but I'll forgive you.
Patrick woulda been proud!
Loved it Spencer - especially the rap part!
Thank you! I plan on doing some hip hop on this channel in the near future!
Good man keep it up and inspiring music makers! 👌☮
Will do!
Very strong video. I like how you're telling your story and just making solid songs while doing Andrew Huang style projects that just work on CZcams. I predict this channel is going to grow. By a lot.
I hope so! Thanks for the support, Robert. It means a lot.
Love it!!! ...and ya, I feel your pain, brotha!! Keep going!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Loved the vocal Harmonies & your rap section too. Would love to hear more of your rapping Spencer it flows with your voice well. Loved the tea cup sample. Ya ever see someone from Ireland play the spoons. It's amazing too see. Really glad ya got control of your jaw & face back. Bet that was frightening & frustrating all at once. Fk the people who don't like your music. At least your creating & never gave up which is half the battle. Positive criticism is OK to a point but someone constantly trying to belittle someone is pathetic. Its normally jealousy or enviousness on their part. Keep doing your thing dude. All the best, Eamonn 🤟
Dang, can only give one like. I'm a sucker for making music with random (slightly doctored) sounds.
This is my first time diving into it and it's definitely not the last! It's a great way to add character and uniqueness to your song.
Hello, thanks for sharing.
Not trying to moralize or lecture, there is something I will choose to share about "insecurities/inadequacies." "Opinions are like @sses, everyone has one." Often, negative feedback coming from others are based on jealousy or "feeling of threat" and fears that what you do may be more interesting than what "he" does.
Someone once said to me: "You are what you think you are." This simple thought helped me change my life as a musician/composer. Like you, I also had (and still have) "insecurities" but this is healthy and normal. It helps us to always try to do better but the most important is to continue to write music and to put your soul into it. Another tip, it is also important to spread good vibes, funny messages. Being like that brings people to be around. Stay safe and continue doing nice things.
I really appreciate this insight and I love the quote "you are what you think you are." Another one I love is, "You wouldn't worry so much what people think of you if you realized how little they do."
@@songsbyspencer Absolutely! Stay Safe.
Nice job. I love found sound.
Keep up the Good work Bro!! God Bless!! ❤
Will do!!
Great stuff Spencer! Really enjoyed this tune. As a fellow CZcamsr I have to say I am so impressed with the amount of work you put into each video. It’s one thing to make a video, graphics, story - but to also compose an entire song each time. Props!
Also, loved the rap 🙌🏼 keep it up
Thanks for the kudos, John! I love your content by the way. I'm a full-time filmmaker (my company is LoudKid Films), so camera reviews, tips and tricks are always so helpful. I learned everything I know from people like you on CZcams!
Nicely done Spencer
I have just been blown away...I really had no idea how talented this guy is....I feel like I need to get back into jamming again ...
DO IT! I wanna here William The Driller!
Your music is very well done, definitely as polished as anything on the radio. And the fact that it's just you making this music is all the more crazy. Anyways, I have a suggestion/idea, I think it would be cool for you to do a series where you create a song for different genres and sub-genres of pop and rock music (I personally love post-punk and its related sub-genres, but you could do many different styles, like funk, punk, blues/blues rock, EDM, classic rock, dream pop, alternative pop, etc.), because it'd be really interesting to see what kind of cool stuff you could come up with.
I plan on doing more videos like your idea! I did a Country Song and an Acapella song for the first time in past videos. It's fun trying a new style. You learn so much and it forces you to gain respect for the genre, even if it isn't your cup of tea.
@@songsbyspencer That sounds cool, can't wait to hear what you come up with!
Love it! Pro tip for playing a mug, youll get the cleanest tone striking at a perfect 90 or 180 degrees to the handle. Moving toward a 45 degree increment introduces a semitone of sharpness.
I'll keep that in mind next time I play the mug!
Really great video and we loved the finished song!
Absolutely fantastic. Super interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it, Vincent!
An amazing journeyyyy❤
Wish I had half of your creative genius.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I dunno if it's creative genius, probably more persistence than anything. I wrote ALOT of terrible songs before I figured out how to write halfway decent ones!
Super engaging video Spencer & a certified banger as always!
I appreciate that!
First video I've seen of yours. The song is great. CZcams is great for really getting an inside look at stuff but I think the mystery of just hearing a song and knowing nothing about the artist is something I miss too.
The coolest is when you discover the song first, and then learn about the behind the scenes of it. That old show "Classic Albums" was awesome for that reason. I'd fall in love with an album and then see how it happened. Pretty sweet!
You rock dude! Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
Just subscribed, really awesome video, and a great song! I look forward to more.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support!
You're a legend brother! Keep Inspiring! Keep Creating!🦾💎🏆
Thank you! Will do!
Great video , well done!! much respect to you, I am an artist making stuff and you're style is unique man...rarely take time to write. take care. Big up from Haiti
I appreciate the love! Thanks
Woooow. I've yet to NOT be blown away by one of your videos.
Thank you so much! I'll do my best to keep that going!
That's so cool...just awesome man !
Thanks!
@@songsbyspencer Welcome 🙂
It sounds great! I like the Zelda "Song of Storms" reference around 7:38.
You are one of the real ones!!
I feel like the universe has been sending me so much love today. Ive been in a negative place for the past week and normally i spend my day like a lot of people, looking at random stuff to distract myself from how i feel. Well ive been doing that, but new videos, artists, creators, etc have been comming my way. I feel inspired by your video and your message. It is so easy to give up. Its so much harder to push on and fight to be who you are no matter what. I normally would watch this and move on, but i feel called to write this comment to let you know that there is support out there. It seems you know that. Being that you’ve been struggling on this journey for a long time. Like you said, there is an audience out there for you. And everyone. As long as youre following your heart. But i still want to say that i support you. Ive never watched a single video by you until today and now i feel moved and called to support you and go after my own insecurities and try to do them any way. Thank you for your work, your life, your message, your struggle, and your openess and sharing of it all. You are so strong in your vulnerability. Thank you!
Ben, I want to thank you for your openness and vulnerability as well. The support means so much!
I think you were that guy that was in a band back in the day that had a song or two on the radio, keep inspiring and helping everyone to think outside of the box
Love it.
You're an extraordinary musician...such a great artist!!! Who fu****ING cares about haters??? They know nothing! They are lost within their own selves; trapped inside their own selfishness and misery! May God help them and open both their hearts and minds!❤❤❤ God bless your talent! I love all the things you do... and the unique away of your doing them!!!❤❤❤
I appreciate this so much!
@@songsbyspencer My pleasure! And you deserve the praise and the prizes too...I would give you "An American Music Award" or a "GRAMMY"...If I just could..!🤔🤩🤩🤩❤️🤗
Keep up man your doing great 🎉 loved how you went from regular random to mega random 🤯
Sometimes ya just gotta bump up the RANDOMNESS!
@Songs By Spencer - I watched most of this video admittedly from the thumbnail, until you played your song at the end and I then felt compelled to drop by and give you a big thumbs up mate. Stay strong, people will only like you if you fit inside their box, so never be afraid to shove that box right up their.... Ya get he idea! 😉🤣
So glad you dig it and thanks for the support!
@@songsbyspencer I can't read music for shit tbh, but I have learned a lot playing with software synths and following videos like yours. Keep up the good work, us numb-nuts appreciate the effort.
