Music is always occurring. It is just a matter of marketing, attention, and many other factors, that determines whether people will hear these songs or not.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations you have to always consider that.
There's something missing in the music industry today... and it's music. Songs you hear don't last, it's just product fed to you by the industry.
Music is such a balm. Always has been. It's such a heartbeat, like blood thrumming through the womb. That's why music appeals to people.
I guess I would definitely feel a bit of a void in what people are getting from music these days. And I think that the problem lies not so much on the listener. People kind of listen to what is presented to them, whether it be on the radio or at a local venue.
In my opinion, it seems like music is taking a bit of a turn. Look at Mumford and Sons, and the Lumineers. It seems like people and music fans are enjoying the more artistic side of music, and that popular music is taking a turn and accepting that, so I appreciate that.
With music, there's a conversation happening. You're hearing what's going on right now, with people's emotional states, in a communal way, and listening to that is really - it's both informative and so generous. It's like emotional news.
The tricky thing is music is supposed to be very mysterious; the way it's made is mysterious. Then people like to get upset with the music business.
We all have different relationships with music. But the music is always there.
As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.
It is a process of discovery. It's being quiet enough and undisturbed enough for a period of time so that the songs can begin to sort of peek out, and you begin to have emotional experiences in a musical way.
