Dear Emily Hopkins Can you say me please the name of music track in beginning part of this video ruclips.net/video/8AT8F2BJIss/видео.htmlsi=Nmd1qsaMbFJF3bwT Thanks for you wonderful music
Jedi Master Sketchy Pedo is a " difficult " look to pull off. Maybe Z-burg personally attended to the situation and thought you were taking the piss out of him. Side note: Yoda in the Star Worz movies was a stunted crippled runt - "They" normally grow to about twelve feet tall by the age of five and by the age of seventeen they are nearly sixteen feet tall and pretty terrifying ... That Grogu guy is about to have a growth spurt and some pretty knarly massive donkey teeth.
that was someone who listened to it closely, and really got what it was about and like, enjoyed it enough to give someone new some encouragement. we should all strive to be like that person, seeking out and actively engaging with new media and giving it a chance.
I currently work at a music school, and this video should serve as a reference for those aspiring independent artists/musicians getting into releasing their first album, especially in the digital realm. Great video!
„do you know what that is?“ had me in stitches! Absolutely fantastic video, shows how hard it is to start from scratch even with all the experience and skill you have.
It's not that people don't care. It's that there are millions of people releasing music all the time over all platforms constantly and these platforms have algorithms that boost trends and not originality. There's going to be so much incredible music that will not be heard because it's such a flooded market
FOLLOW UP VIDEO. - Now show us the numbers of the record, after the same amount of time, after posting this video. With your followers. And show us the effect of a relatively popular web presence boosting an unknown record has. Im dying to know.
Just look at the profile. I can guess the exact number down to a thousand, first month, then i gotta see something happen second month then i can guess 2-12. I'll be very close.
The 1 monthly spotify listener really hit home lmfaoo Love the video, but the goblin mask has to be in every video going forward now...its non negotiable 🤣
@@emilyharpist how long was the Facebook account up before getting "Zucked"? A friend of mine had his band page deleted after something like 15 years. AND they didn't give him an understandable reason! That screen shot wasn't on screen long but it seems they at least gave a reason for removing Fae Dads. Granted it's largely a BS reason when they suspend or ban people.
thats how its been for me for many years now. 15 monthly listeners for years. i only have energy for a full time job, making music and doing things that keep me and my job alive. marketing does not even fit in there.
For so long I've been trying to find the strength and belief in myself to become discouraged, and thanks to you, Emily, I think ive finally found it. Thank you ❤
This is super refreshing. I'm just about getting into the weeds of self promo and although I've done it before, my new approach was going to be exactly this, using all social media platforms and make engaging videos and photos. Knowing that it takes a few years to really get attention sometimes takes so much of the pressure off because when you barely get any action it always feels like your art wasn't good enough.
Holy shit. Watching this seriously just made me feel so much better about my own success (or lack thereof). What a perfect example of how impossible it is to break through the noise. Great video.
@@nicholasrella6904 it's kinda an offshoot of comfy synth but it tends to be faster and harder and more kinda fun, takes a lot from other electronic genres, it's very silly
@ I have no idea what comfy synth is either. I have very eclectic tastes and I love all styles of music. Synth stuff is not really my expertise. I know dungeon synth because I love dark medieval sounding music. I guess it's impossible to know about everything. Thanks for the info and recommendations. I'm about to grab an ice cold beer and check all this stuff out right now.
This is a fun and very atmospheric album. I'm playing D&D tomorrow night, and they always make me pick the music, so I am going to introduce them to Fae Dads! How exciting.
Just listened to Faedads on Spotify and I have to tell you I think it sounds great. Thank you so much for putting such a great deal of effort into this and I really am looking forward to listening to your music. Thanks for the hard work!
Really good way to show just how hard it is. Especially if you don’t have the ability to do all the promotion stuff. It can take a long time to find a way to get the people who you know would like your music to simply find it. I’ve come to the decision to just put it out there and do a small amount of promotion (severe chronic facial pain limits me quite a bit) and just be glad it’s out there. Not too long ago this was all out of reach for most of us.
That dog is lovely, he is a marketing material by himself !!. It was a really nice video, but it's also kind of sad at the same time. A part of my work is to find new gems and music from new artists, i am listening between 200 and 400 tracks everyday for this goal. There is a lot of good content that does not have the love it should, especially when it's about experimental and non-mainstream contents.
This was such a fun episode! It's a cool way to share the skills musicians have to learn these days (if they want to be succesful on social media), but it was really funny too. Great job, y'all!
Currently Hypersleep and Beacon of Hope are my favorites of the 4 songs I love all 4 but I absolutely love those 2 songs. Thanks for the relaxing music to write and brainstorm to. Much love.
Some of the best parts of your videos is when Russ laughs so hard he veers into "cackling" territory. Y'all are amazing, love from Canada! ETA - That part where you got Zucc'd was fuggin' hilarious!
This is why i just make music for myself. I still release it and pretend like im some big celebrity for a few days out of the year but its really just so my family and friends can hear what ive been working on. Best approach to music imo. If you want numbers pay someone else to do your marketing. If you want to make good music you wont have time to market yourself
Im not a musically creative person nor do i play any instruments (tiny bit of uke but dont really practice) and i really enjoy this channel, the content is well made and Emily is so wholesome
Loved watching you in Ludwigs chat repeat the same thing 10 times just for him not to notice it 1 time, made me laugh every time, keep up the great work!
Watching on smol screen, the first animation of the records made me actually try to find if you were selling vinyl 😅. So props to Evan for the quality work! Just bought the download on bandcamp. 🙏
I love this channel. One of my daughters has a tattoo that says "Travel Lightly" and this channel moves me a step in that direction. I learn a lot too :)
I was doing fine up until the Newman bit. Now I can't watch these videos at work anymore and I have to visit HR to explain myself. Thanks a lot, Harpkins!
I have been watching this channel for a little while. I re-watched this video after about 2 weeks. I understand the subtle humor so much more. This was great! I went ahead and paid $5 for the release. I'll listen while I do some CAD work. Maybe I'll have a learning breakthrough!
Lesson I get from this is first and foremost, you gotta make music for yourself, because you want to make it, not because you think it will sell. There are many other ways to make a buck that are more certain pay for certain amounts of work. No guarantee that a creation will bring attention and payoff. The reward must come from within.
Thanks for making my mom laugh (once I explained the irony of FAE DADS) with the perfect timing of doing the most with the Shrek balaclava followed immediately by “where da harp?” There’s a lot of stress in my family right now so seeing her laugh really made my day.
Another hurdle I and many other people have is that it is hard to dedicate time for all this in addition to having a separate career and/or a family. It's rare to be in a position where you can focus a large portion of time to writing, recording, filming, and promoting on your own social accounts or Spotify (without paying for ads).
I really appreciate this video. It's a nice reminder that it's hard to start (even if you have pre existing skill at something!). Joel Haver mentioned something similar in one of his videos. It took him a good while to finally get recognition for his videos. Once he did, everything took off. It's a bit of a shame that it happens that way. I often think of all of the people who have made amazing stuff that just didn't continue because they felt it wasn't going anywhere

Dear Emily Hopkins
Can you say me please the name of music track in beginning part of this video
ruclips.net/video/8AT8F2BJIss/видео.htmlsi=Nmd1qsaMbFJF3bwT
Thanks for you wonderful music
Omg Fae Dads here on Emily's channel? You're literally my two favorite artists
Jedi Master Sketchy Pedo is a " difficult " look to pull off. Maybe Z-burg personally attended to the situation and thought you were taking the piss out of him. Side note: Yoda in the Star Worz movies was a stunted crippled runt - "They" normally grow to about twelve feet tall by the age of five and by the age of seventeen they are nearly sixteen feet tall and pretty terrifying ... That Grogu guy is about to have a growth spurt and some pretty knarly massive donkey teeth.
The good luck goblin has paid harp lady a visit
Really digging the Dobby gimp mask. This character has staying power.
"best of luck fellow adventurer" is the best comment I could imagine for something like this
that was someone who listened to it closely, and really got what it was about and like, enjoyed it enough to give someone new some encouragement. we should all strive to be like that person, seeking out and actively engaging with new media and giving it a chance.
@@zenmark42 there's some real gold in those RUclips recommendations with 200 plays and names like "[genre] jam on [synth]" tbh
I showed up to earth anonymously to see if anyone would care
It's a bold strategy let's see if it pays off
I cared. 🫵🫶
I don't
No one cared. 😔
@@LPyxel you're wrong 😑
this is a great example of how difficult it can be survive as a musician when youre starting out or dont have the help of some sort of team
It was brilliant from start to finish speaking as an artist. Reputation is EVERYTHING.
lets not mention gender and the loneliness epidemic
@@Bkoded yeah it's tough out here. 😑
@@leftblankyour loneyness is defo at least partly self inflicted in your case
yes but those tracks are not good
BRB, just gonna ask Fantano why he didn't review Fae Dads.
He's a hater
Well, he's a busy man. 😃
I currently work at a music school, and this video should serve as a reference for those aspiring independent artists/musicians getting into releasing their first album, especially in the digital realm. Great video!
Nobody "works" at music school, you volunteer there
@@SteveVi0lence damn i guess everyone at bard is a volunteer. julliard too
„do you know what that is?“ had me in stitches! Absolutely fantastic video, shows how hard it is to start from scratch even with all the experience and skill you have.
thanks so much Hainbach!

There's going to be so much incredible music that will not be heard because it's such a flooded market
I personally feel buried under a sea of garbage unfortunately.😢
100%. I believe this applies to any art or media. There's too much, and it's hard to match creator to viewer.
@@ForestKanagawa drowning in content...
may Be we use Mor Algorithms Like AI and create an Album Finding Robot to Deep search all tge sound fils to find it
I fear that it will get worse with generative algorithms as an artist.
FOLLOW UP VIDEO. - Now show us the numbers of the record, after the same amount of time, after posting this video. With your followers. And show us the effect of a relatively popular web presence boosting an unknown record has. Im dying to know.
Yes!
So far it's supported by 6 people on Bandcamp
Just look at the profile. I can guess the exact number down to a thousand, first month, then i gotta see something happen second month then i can guess 2-12. I'll be very close.

I LOVE how much you collaborate on this channel. Hands down my favorite aspect of your content. It's always a fun adventure.
I should mention if anyone else hasn't already, but this genre is called Dungeon Synth.
@@evanandrews8858 yes dungeon synth
For so long I've been trying to find the strength and belief in myself to become discouraged, and thanks to you, Emily, I think ive finally found it. Thank you ❤
"They think I'm a gimp." is one of the funniest sentences I heard this year. Fae Dads 4ever🔥
😂
I laughed so hard my abdomen hurts x)
A Goblimp
Didn’t realize I’d want to embrace my Fae Daddy tendencies till today.
embrace them
@@FaeDads consider them tenderly and mischievously embraced. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I love how Emily's closet is just a portal to every pedal builder.
"And I went up the hill and I saw the goblin..." Emily's first lyrics??? This MF spittin!
hot fire
@@FaeDads I did sub to all the shit tho because I simp for goblins 🥲
STRAIGHT FIRE

When Emily swoops into our music scene and makes a legit great Fantasy Synth / Dungeon Synth EP.

Wow whoever did the animation on this video must be really cool and also good at guitar in our band

Holy shit. Watching this seriously just made me feel so much better about my own success (or lack thereof). What a perfect example of how impossible it is to break through the noise. Great video.
"dont call me Neuman"
*says some real Neuman shenaniganry*
I was into Fae Dads before anyone. We call ourselves the "DAD LOVERS".
@@BEEFDEAD DILF damn i love Fae_dads
Living for that name
some call us dadheads
Dungeon Synth is a thriving genre! There are even sub-genres such as Dino Synth! Check out Diplodocus - Slow And Heavy
I love diplodocus! Also been getting really into foodsynth recently
I've never heard of foodsynth. I like food and I like synths. Sounds like a winning combination.
Thanks for the rec, excited to check it out
@@nicholasrella6904 it's kinda an offshoot of comfy synth but it tends to be faster and harder and more kinda fun, takes a lot from other electronic genres, it's very silly

This is the funniest video I've seen from y'all in a while. Cackled out loud!
"Don't get discouraged, I mean, you can, if you want" 😂
It do be hard out there, but this was surprisingly encouraging. Thanks for doing this experiment.
They got Zucc'd.
I love how genuinely funny her partner finds her. Heartwarming.
Was NOT ready for that 2019 flashback - who IS that?!
This is a fun and very atmospheric album. I'm playing D&D tomorrow night, and they always make me pick the music, so I am going to introduce them to Fae Dads! How exciting.
vulcaynah
So when can we expect to see that FaeDads review, Melon?
Just listened to Faedads on Spotify and I have to tell you I think it sounds great. Thank you so much for putting such a great deal of effort into this and I really am looking forward to listening to your music. Thanks for the hard work!
Just listened to FaeDads and its so good, got a D&D session coming up and surely we'll be listening to that there too
Ive been getting into Dungeon Synth/Comfy Synth lately.. Genres with quite decent followings.. Your album fits right in!
I wasn't expecting the EP to go this hard. actually listen to it if you haven't, it's fantastic!
i'm sampling "it's the 96 olympics from atlaaantaaa"
Please do and send me the results
don't forget the russwheeze
@MingJianYap Any Russ Wheeze is a treat. This particularly potent response that affected the camera deserves to be immortalized.

I clicked off mid-video to listen to it and I liked it a lot, definitely gonna add to my playlist
I found it! Fae Dad's. Thank you everyone involved. I promise I will use it in my D&D games.
1) album is absolutely hot (wall of) fire
2) release the extended EAE cut you cowards
EXTENDED EAE CUT COMING SOON

Hundred percent needs to be dressed up as like a Goblin or something, and run around and do some adventuring to fae dads
This was unhinged and I loved it.
Same lol
Bought this on bandcamp immediately after watching the video
Only 4USD 👌WORTH IT
This was such a fun episode! It's a cool way to share the skills musicians have to learn these days (if they want to be succesful on social media), but it was really funny too. Great job, y'all!
My abs always hurt from the number of belly laughs I get from watching your videos.
Please make more dungeon synth, this is fantastic
I genuinely laughed out loud when you were doing the photo shoot in the green mask pulling whatever those pray moves were!
