Текст песни postcard from Amsterdam - Oscar Anton

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 really 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
