I'm trying to get better at talking to a camera but it always feels a bit strange to me. It's always a bit "fake".  I'm definitely more into writing. That's why I started to write songs at all, as a teenager. I was looking for some kind of a valve to handle my emotions.  Writing a blog article feels much more authentic to me, than shooting a video for YouTube or other social media. Even when it's sometimes a bit out of fashion, I started a new blog right now, just to keep everything around my music as authentic as possible.  So what you can expect from this blog: everything that in any way related to my music career. From the stories behind songs, over the production process up to music marketing and such all blended with some real life stories from our home place.  What I need to say at his place: In order to make a living from music, this blog is powered by advertising.  If you're looking for ad-free content: Join 'Simple Life Society'! There is much more exclusive content coming up soon, all behind a membership paywall but therefore it's absolutely ad-free! So stay tuned, when you're looking for a really authentic channel to learn more about me and my music, this is the place to be! ## Related posts [![](https://toby.schuetgens.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Keep%20It%20Simple%20Keep%20It%20Real%20Header.png?height=200&name=Keep%20It%20Simple%20Keep%20It%20Real%20Header.png)](https://toby.schuetgens.com/blog/a-day-in-my-life) ## [A day in my life](https://toby.schuetgens.com/blog/a-day-in-my-life) ![Picture of Toby Schuetgens](https://toby.schuetgens.com/hs-fs/hubfs/42013990-01.jpeg?width=50&name=42013990-01.jpeg) [Toby Schuetgens](https://toby.schuetgens.com/blog/author/toby-schuetgens) Oct 14, 2024, 11:04:31 AM Howdy, y'all!

You'd tear off the plastic, open the booklet, and sit there reading every lyric and seeing every photo. It felt **real**. That feeling is almost completely lost in a world of fast-scrolling feeds and an endless digital noise. Most music today is just background sound—one song after another without a story or a soul. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I believe music should have a story, and a raw, authentic connection. That's why I've created something to bring that feeling back. I've put together a playlist that's the soundtrack to my story, along with a free digital booklet that gets you behind the scenes. It's a way to hit pause on the world and connect with music the way it was meant to be experienced. ## Get Booklet now!
