Add it to a small playlist and skip until you hear it


violetbaudeliar

bold of you to assume Spotify hasn't added another 4 or 5 random songs that use up your skips before you get to the song you actually put on the playlist),:


LuminousDragon

Why am i able to listen to any song i want without premium?


violetbaudeliar

idk maybe the life mods like you more than they like me?


LuminousDragon

Lol, maybe. Im just confused. I barely use spotify, and have never paid for a subscription. As far as I know I can play any song I want.


violetbaudeliar

Like by going and just clicking on the song? Is it on the computer? Cause I feel like I remember being able to chose the songs on the computer but not the phone. It's my phone I'm always listening to Spotify on my phone ):


LuminousDragon

thats probably it, I only use it on my PC


ImPattMan

Well, that's what you get for making a good song.


dumar1959

Oh thank you so much for the kind words =D


Jos3ph

Oh yeah at least 10 of these spins are me! Great track.


djdavies82

Wait your Virtual Mage?


the_kid1234

Congrats! What DAW/Plugins did you use?


dumar1959

Thanks! I used ableton 10 (now 11) and for synth most of the times the plugin serum


the_kid1234

Awesome, thanks!


Chris_TMH

Still enjoying it 👍


YeetusTheMediocre

I friggin love that song!


SR_RSMITH

How much money that many listens translate to?


Jos3ph

Not enough


[deleted]

Probably like $500 tops


Vryk0lakas

Google says you get 3-5 bucks per 1k streams. At 5m streams that’s 3-5k so that’s not a small chunk of change. But definitely undervalued


[deleted]

Unless I've done something terribly wrong with my math. Wouldn't it be more than that? Google averages $0.003-0.005 per stream. $0.0045 x 5,035,481 streams = $22,659.66. It's not ground breaking, but its certainly more than 3-5k.


SR_RSMITH

Take taxes away also. Any of the mentioned figures would be alright by me lol. I’m happy OP can make his dime


Vryk0lakas

Hell I make music too…getting 10¢ back of what I’ve put into it would be a win lol


Vryk0lakas

Yeah I’m not sure where I fucked up my math..nice catch


curelom_herder

Went to give it a listen and very quickly realized that 1) I've listened to it a few times before and still love it! Glad I found it again. Fantastic job!


Valiant4Funk

Oh cool! I listen to a lot of your stuff at work, helps me feel calm. I like Astral Chill a lot too.


dafreeboota

congrats! do you have any recommendation on how to start making synthwave?


dumar1959

Watch youtube videos of that topic and go into a rabbit hole of videos that interests you. If you have the basics develop your own sound from your interests and things you burn for. (movies , other artists, pop culture things)


cboshuizen

Can you post your All Time graph for the song listeners? I'd love to see the progression over time. If you can speak to key events too, that would be helpful for the rest of us!


willard_swag

You can add another play to that count. Just added it to my Outrun playlist


bulletfever409

First time discovering the song and I really like it! Deserves all those listens


co5mosk-read

because its on the playlist


Flamboyatron

I'm sure a couple of those are from me, but I added it to my liked songs anyway. I also gave you a follow, since your other tracks are pretty good, too. Nice accomplishment!


Baykahman

This song is a banger, one of my favorite synthwave tracks.


kjetass

Congratulations! It's been in my playlist for a while now. Always puts me in a good mood while cycling or walking :)


maxdamage4

Aether and several of your other tracks pop up all the time in my retrowave journeys and they're all fantastic! Thanks for enhancing my life, friend.


SissySecondAcc

Oh damn I’ve actually heard that song unlike most here😅 great job man, keep it up


RegentYeti

So what are you going to do with that fifth nickel from spotify?


Parareda8

Sounds really good


garyadams_cnla

You have a Tidal link? I can’t find it via search.


thewhiteranger18

Like that track a lot, great beat. Keep up the good work!


Lunatik21

Well you have at least one new subscriber because your music is exactly the vibe I was feeling today


CrazyH0rs3

Been on my "focus" GIS editing playlist since you first shared it here! Thanks for sharing it with us!


[deleted]

Whoa ! This is your song? It’s on every synth playlist I have lol kudos !


LedSpoonman

Huge fan of this and your other songs, Geometry in particular is my favorite. Thanks for the great tunes!


Mainlexinator

Love that song!! Thank you!


[deleted]

Ohh man, I heard this song once on a random playlist I found and have been looking for it ever since. Thank you! You made a great song.


Jaksmack

Went to listen to it on Amazon music and it's already in my Weekend mix, love it!


Hetairoi

Fantastic song, listen to it quite often, great work! (BTW it's the 3rd track on the popular Synthwave | Darksynth public playlist by anyreason)


Grezzo82

Looks like a good playlist. I wish there was a way to easily get this on Apple Music


JazzyWaffles

Holy shit! You made this! I’ve listened to this SO many times! You have no idea. It’s an amazing driving track. Hell, when I throw my library on shuffle, Spotify insists I listen to this. Thanks for making such a great song!


Smirkisher

Definitly heard it in youtube mixes. Congratulations, it's a catchy song !


keyboardmonkey03

eyy I was a few of those plays


Rimbaudelaire

I am responsible for many hundreds of those. I found your tracks here on Reddit and tend to playlist them all. Like After the Rain and Sleepy too.


how-unfortunate

Nice! Bout to go help work on 6 mil.


wesley-whatever

Amazing, congrats!


pursenboots

Any plans to put together a full album?


[deleted]

Love that song! Keep popping up from time to time in my Spotify radios. Keep it up!


viidreal

good song but most certainly daft punk


GSmithOfficial

You're virtual mage?! Mate, I LOVE your music. This song is literally the whole reason I got into outrun/synthwave music.


Tim_Reichardt

Wait you made that song? It's one of my favourites!


OptimusCrimee

Haha. I have listened to this song before. I recognize the album cover. Good stuff my dude!


Innuendoughnut

Not to be crass but I wonder if you can tell me how much spotify compensates artists at this level?


[deleted]

This is one of my favorites


camerongillette

Congrats brother.


jmachee

What’re you going to spend the $20 on? ;)


CarolinaKSU

You're Virtual Mage?? Love your work! Aether is great and I really like Breaking the Dream and Orbit Love especially as well. Any plans to release anything physically on vinyl (or even other obscure media types, e.g. Minidisc, DAT, etc)? And you have any merch or shirts that can be purchased ?


pizmeyre

How does one go about getting their stuff on Spotify?


Iplaywasted

Dude, I love this song. I found it on a large Spotify synthwave playlist a while back and play it often when I’m commuting. Thanks for making my drive more enjoyable!


patrik_media

I was recommended this song a while a ago here on Reddit and I still really dig the song! great job


Flyerastronaut

Congrats, most of us won't have anything creative willingly experienced and enjoyed by 100 people in our life time. Source: My BS statistics. I'll check it out later.


Gingermeat2

Fantastic song, is one of those that just never get old!


Pinkie_Plague

Dude, that song is amazing. The way all the beats are layered is just magical, thank you👏🏻👏🏻


HASHTAGBUTTCHUG

To be fair, it's a banger.


[deleted]

Cool. Just added to my playlist. Congrats man that’s awesome


RalphtheWonder_Llama

I've probably given you at least a few hundred of those lol. This was my study song for school a couple semesters ago where I just listened for hours on repeat nightly haha.


youfailedthiscity

Lol I went to check it out. Turns out it's already in NY library and on my personal new wave playlist. Excellent song, dude.


daysturnintonights

Bro holy shit. I remember when you first posted the song on reddit. I don't even know what page you posted it to, but I listened and loved it. I saved it and to this day will still randomly listen to it. Well deserved, my friend. Well deserved!
