You know, we all do it. We say we're going to work on songs and we actually do. However there are those times when we really don't and every once in a while we allow that time with music to grow less and less. We spend tons of time on social media, watching tv, or doing anything really. But unfortunately we just don't work on music.
We call ourselves songwriters and composers right? Why don't we ever really get down into the depth's of our souls with music like we used to? Why don't we bleed for it anymore?
As time goes by we tend to forget how wonderful writing music really is. It's definitely unfortunate. However it takes time and discipline to get back into the groove.
Well I can't say that for all of the music world. However for us mere mortals we require time and patience.
It's an old concept of effort and reward. Most people like to be rewarded for their time. For some of us we only require a finished piece to feel satisfied. That sense of accomplishment if you will. For other's they feel the need for more external and non-holistic rewards. Some could desire payment for their work, others maybe praise. I think personally a lot of people would like to have both.
As you may or may not know my primary goal right now is to gain financially from my writing, enough so that I can make music full time.
This is not to say I'm doing it for the money. If I were doing that I would be in another career path. However I would like to make enough to pay the bills and have some extra for play. This way I don't have to hold down regular jobs in order to keep my house.
It's a struggle I believe most artist's or writer's go through in their lives. We want a ton of time to pursue our art without having to worry about where we are going to get food from.
Truth be told even though vast riches sounds nice I think I would be happy just doing music for a living and paying the bills.
What are your thoughts?
