This is inspired by two fans/friends of mine, Alley Gator and Altivo.
The original title I had in mind for this song was "Etude Simplistique", because it's about as basic as I can really get going off the top of my head. I wanted to show what my ground level was. Instead, my friends got me thinking.
Be wary of the scales on which we are judged. I am well aware I don't have much of a life in front of me; I live in poverty, and probably will for life. I don't have the greed and ambition to move myself forward at the expense of others. I bring what seems to be a bit of light into the lives around me, but at the expense of my own existence. I have accepted this as truth a long time ago.
My music is something I regret more than I enjoy; I tire of hearing of Foxamoore's latest escapades. The mere mention of his name is enough to sour my day, and yet it seems like he's up to something new in the fandom every other week. By such a scale I am completely unworthy of the fans I do have; how can I not feel depressed at being constantly reminded of it?
My work will continue as it always has; I need only sit down at keys and it will spring to life unbidden. I wish this talent had involved a paper and pencil....
On the scales of life, I have ever and always felt myself unworthy. Some part of me still holds a glimmer of hope that I may yet amount to something, and that is inherently where this song comes from. I hope you enjoy listening to it.

This is one of the loveliest things I've ever heard you do, Flare. The simplicity is deceptive, the harmonic structure under the melodies is very deep. While I can play the piano well enough to maybe sound like your student, I have to sweat over each note for weeks to get a piece to that point. I could never create that kind of music myself. I can only try to reproduce it and put my own emotion into it. *does a formal dressage bow to you, knees and forehead on the ground* Once again I can only thank you for sharing your music. It can be pure pleasure, as this piece is.
"If you compare yourself to others, you will become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself." -- Desiderata
"Forget jealousy! Sometimes you're ahead; sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself." -- Sunscreen
There's no question of you being better or worse than Foxy. You both create classical; he does Epic Orchestral, you do mainly Pastoral. Both of you have your own styles. But you are every bit as good a composer as Foxy. Don't argue with me, you are! As for why he has commercial success and you don't, I suggest you ask Foxamoore about it. Go ahead, I've chatted with him, he's very approachable and friendly. (He has a cute Scots accent.)
I'll just say this; it is fair to ask to be compensated for your work by those who enjoy it. Granted, not all of your friends can afford to compensate you, but it's still fair to ask. And if your friends enjoy your work, why wouldn't others... maybe others who can afford to give you something for your work... enjoy it, too?
