In the sea of creativity, Mild Monk’s latest release, “Like a Wave,” serves as a testament to the unpredictable journey of artistic inspiration.
“This is the first song I wrote after several months of on and off interest in music,” Mild Monk shares, reflecting on his latest creation. “I was frustrated that I wasn’t able to find a clear direction in what I wanted to make. It felt like I was being ‘pushed and pulled’ without any control of the outcome.”
“And when I tried to take control, the outcome always felt disingenuous,” he continues, revealing the vulnerability inherent in the creative process.
“At some point, I just let go and this song kind of just surfaced,” Mild Monk explains, his words speaking of the liberating experience of surrendering to inspiration and letting it take him over . “It made me realize that if I just accept the wave of change, new inspiration will come and it won’t be anything that I could predict.”
“I feel greatly relieved by this and hope to keep this song as a reminder when I find myself returning to this state of mind,” he concludes, expressing gratitude for the journey that led him to “Like a Wave.”
If its not clear by his statements above, “Like A Wave” is meant to help release and take a load off of your shoulder like it did for Mild Monk while writing. M/V Below!
