Postcard from Amsterdam

Lyrics
Hey, it’s Oscar again I hope you’re doing well This month, I’m writing you from Amsterdam ! I knew for a long time I wanted to make a postcard from there, and for many reasons First, because it’s really close to Paris, so it’s not that expensive to travel to ahah I’m also a big fan of cute Instagram friendly cafés, and the city is full of that But mostly, because I knew I wanted to make music with Simon - BLANKS. When my sister and I released our song «nuit d’été » on Youtube, Simon sent me a dm just a few weeks later saying he loved the song. I was already a big fan of his music at this time, so that was super cool We told each-other we had to meet and make music sometimes, and about 2 month ago it was the right time We managed to book a studio for a day with Simon in Amsterdam, and it was super fun. We actually talked for a few hours before making music. What I love about him is that he’s doing everything independently. He manages his own YouTube channel with more than a million subscribers - he writes and produce ever song he’s releasing - he created his own label and management company, so he’s managing other artists as well - annnd he has a girlfriend. I mean, how is he even doing this ahah ? That was super cool to take time to talk about all of this together, me being independent as well, making music from my bedroom, that is super inspiring I’m really struggling with managing my time, working every single day, falling asleep on my desk every night, doing my best but still being late on everything. And Simon knew about that So Simon set up this rule : having at least one free night a week, for his friends / girlfriend .. and shutting down his phone every night, 2 or 3 hours before going to sleep. That way, he knows when to start and stop working One last thing that I’ll keep with me for the next months or years, is that being independent means you can do whatever you want, but it doesn’t mean you have do everything yourself. Knowing who to trust, and work with is key Thank you Simon for our friendship and for the super cool song that we made btw ahah I love it I’ll see you next month Take care xx Oscar
