STBB Forever

STBB #741 - In Bloom

First of all, big up to Razohr for mentioning the depression topic. In this times right now, I know a lot of people that are suffering including myself.
I feel like it takes courage to speak about that topic and I really appreciate the fact that you did.



May is a month of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
These contrasts always appear in life. Nature is blooming while your soul is bleeding.

So let’s get in the good mood:
Make the kind of beat that makes you jump out of bed, full of excitement what the day holds.
New day, new dawn.
What makes you happy? What makes you get out of bed? What gets you excited? Do that.
And most importantly: Make that piece of music for yourself as you are important.

Rules:
Make a "good mood" beat for yourself.
Use one of the provided samples or use a "good mood" sample from your own collection and show that to the world.
Add one positive factor, that gets you through the day, to beat description if you want.

Yes: Outside drums and bass, played instruments, acapellas, vocal chops,…feel free

I'm back into quick flipping mode... Nicely put in the post, mental health can be such a taboo subject.
With that in mind I created this beat from the Je Ne T'aime Plus track and included the message of coming together to help one another.

Something to lift the spirit up.

birdsong recorded with phone
snare from longer and stronger

I always go with boombap style, but I wanted this minor chords to sound happy, so its a bit more jumpy. First time here btw, good stuff!

i have bipolar and i like too remember a time when it didn't fuck with my life so i sampled some music from a film that came out when i was in high school the song i sampled is called RAISE THE BELLS by THE FOLK IMPLOSION

I think the best thing to do with mental illness is to be open about it. I started having ADHD and resulting depression since my early childhood and tried to hide it from the world until I was in my late 20s. But this takes so much strength, which you actually need to address the illness.

Nice to see that this subject has been taken up so openly here and has even been incorporated into the new topic of the week.

And off course: Congratulations on the victory! Your beat was fire, but unfortunately I missed the voting.

naturelle.boombap, congrats with the win!
I feel Razohr....during the 48 years i’m on this planet a few times I went thru a depression.

The last time I discovered juggling! At that time 41 years old and thought: “I’m a grown man.....juggling?!?!”
Hell no, that’s for people who want to join circus soleil

But something in the back of my mind said: “what do I have to loose ?”

Easier said then done I started juggling.
It took a while but I managed to juggle 3 balls. And you know what? The depression was gone! Not only that.
A lot of other benefits emerged....

There are a lot of articles about this simple but very effective ancient art.
This one for example:
https://www.google.nl/amp/s/silverdisob ... althy/amp/

After I shared my experience with others i also was asked to give workshops. Biggest workshop was 60 people....
even managed to give a workshop to
8 managers of Eneco (big energy company in the Netherlands), under the title “Energize the Agile Mindset”.
Due to Corona workshops are on the downlow....

What I try to say is that a depression is not always a bad thing.
In my opinion it’s a sign to reinvent or learn more about yourself.

So if this beat battle gives you that mental boost.
I’m grateful to contribute to that.

Positive over negative!

If i listen to the The Notorious B.I.G. - The What (feat. Method Man) track i get happy feelings. So i did my best to create a Edit/remix that math that feeling.
I only used the Longer and Stronger track. A Juno Sub bass, sphere sounds & acapella.....
