“Here sir, take a sip, good luck with the rest of your journey !”
I do have a few songs “almost” finished (~50 unfinished one), nothing I’m ready to share though, or maybe in DM but they’re hosted under my real identity and not copyright protected so it’s a leap of faith… Full disclosure I’m a comedian ATM, and I’ve been working on making a musical career for 10 years, but the main thing I’m battling is myself (it’s way worst if you ask me), people say I’m a perfectionist but I really don’t see myself as one, I just don’t want to hit the market with something half-baked that I’ll probably regret later, I do get that you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, but I feel like I don’t even have the requirements to take a single shot yet. Like you I had a band when I was younger, it felt just so much easier with other people around. Producing music alone in my home studio is kinda depressing NGL… Thanks for the kind words though buddy, seems like I needed to vent a bit. I’ll send you a copy if somehow I manage to produce a full album…
I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but getting a job in IT and making an artistic career works are not the same thing, both requires work for sure, but the road to “success” is just way more random and daunting if you want to do anything artistic (I’ve done plenty of side jobs), or you have to be a genius, or be the son of … I don’t have any skill or training beside that. I kick myself in the arse everyday to keep on producing, not really sure if I’m just wasting tremendous amount of time for something that won’t get me anywhere. Truly hope it wasn’t for nothing. Time will tell.
Respect for trying bud, but I’ve been trying to reach a dream for 10 years + now, starting to accept the fact that I’ll probably never reach it, especially now that my wife is expecting. Trying to make a living as an artist is daunting lemmy tell you that, and it’s a bit too late for me. I do hope good times are coming, but I’m pretty sure I’ll sabotage them too. I just hope my future child becomes my new dream and I won’t turn into a bitter, old grumpy fuck whose detrimental for everyone around. Don’t waste your words on me, some people don’t want to be saved, or just shouldn’t.
I do like random motivational quote from strangers on the internet. But I’m really not, and it sucks that this reminds me that I ain’t. The only people that would welcome this are people who already are doing fine. Just my 2cts.
Not really about generations, it’s more about manners, anyone blasting shit around people who never asked for anything deserve a kick in the groin. Bonus kicks for people ruining the calm in a natural landscape.
