Neverland is 15th Painless Destiny album. It was released on Bandcamp 2015-05-01.

Even it sounds mostly exactly the same as all the previous ones, it was still for me much harder to release and publish.

This album has been made a long, long time ago (2013 or 2014?) but somehow this has felt incredible hard for me to release. Even it was ready, I always felt lack of confidence about this one. You know, feelings like "I cannot use this melody, I have used it already, I cannot use this pattern, I have used this one too, I cannot use this progression because it is not unique, this sound quality is terrible and if I listen it loud enough I can hear annoying quality mistakes where I should use better EQ" etc.

Finally I decided that I have to let it go. If I always wait the moment when I am perfectly happy with this album, I will never release this or anything at all as a Painless Destiny. I had to make a decision which really matters most for me - a way to express myself and my feelings through my music, or seek for a perfection and uniqueness in art in general?

A lust for perfection kills the flame of a soul if we let it do so, so it just better (at least for me) to let it go and accept that the perfection is just an imaginary state what I will never reach. I'd rather live with my passion for music making than seek the perfection which can never be found - at least if you see the world same way as I do.

So yes, there is melodies that I might have used before. And yes, chord progressions are nothing new and nothing unique. And yeah, sound quality might be not good enough. Still I have to move on and accept that it will never be so good that I would be always happy with it.

Hopefully you can enjoy this album!
