The Gamble

I created this track 8 months ago and it is the main reason I am on steemit today!!!

When steemit first came out in 2016 I didn't think that I could do well on the site. I created a account bought a little bit of steem and traded the coin from .30 to $4 and back down to .17. I did an intro post and it only got like .75 cents.

steemit.com/introduceyourself/@alao/brave-new-world

I didn't touch it for almost a year then I and got about $50 dollars.

steemit.com/rap/@alao/life-is-a-gamble-new-music

That was all the validation that I really needed!!!

It's funny how the universe works because I was just creating music for therapy sake. It was more for me and I really didn't care to share it with anyone. I'm pretty grateful for all that this platform has done for me. This has truly been a humbling experience. I hope you enjoy..

A šŸŒŸ beyond stars. This piece doesn't just make one stop and think but to be grateful to be in the present moment with a strong sense of hope. All in all it was a message I needed to hear to recharge. Dope style of flow.

Had to come back to hear this a 2nd then 3rd time. That line "you can view the past in the sky, the futures alive the present is a clever disguise" is amazing. Lot's of other great lyrics in there too but as a science enthusiast I love the way you mentioned you can view the past in the sky. Might give it a 4th and the 5th listen now :)

@alao | Feb. 1, 2018, 2:59 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Man I'm glad you like it. Yea I'm of the mind that time is an illusions though a very important one. We are constantly trying to catch up and predict the future but it can change based on the choices we make so it only exist in our minds.

All of the stars in Orion are like thousands of light years away. So if you had a powerful enough telescope you could view the past on the planets around it

I think light on a basic level is just the information of the universe. It's like the ultimate recorder. Thanks for taking the time to listen. It's mean a lot!!!

@fresheiremusic | Feb. 1, 2018, 4:11 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

I totally agree man! Time is a very strange thing. I wondered a lot about the meaning of it when I was in the psych hospital and even to this day I still think a lot about it. It really gets your mind thinking on the possibilities of what reality is.

I'm glad I listened man, it's not often I come across genuinely great music. I've heard a few unreal songs on here since I've joined. The music community on here is really talented.

@alao The way this track conveys your emotion and has a clear impact on this many people is absolutely amazing. I'm really glad you decided to release this, I'm sure you were holding on to it to help you through certain things but now that it's out of your hands it may help others the same way it has helped you.

After multiple listens, I realize that one hears something new each listen. you inspire me man, thank you for this!
