Nothing is more rewarding than to take a song, create it out of thin air and then watch it affect people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The biggest thrill you can have is to tell people one of your songs, and have them be able to hum it.
Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.
To me, the real thrill is in making the music, and then I just trust it to find its own audience, and at times it's big and at times it's small, but that's beyond my control.
But the greatest thing about music is putting it out there for people to figure out. You want the listener to find the song on their own. If you give too much away, it takes away from the imagination.
When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups.
I feel that recording a song already compromises the magical music one can create in the mind, so the fewer people watering down this process the better.
In the beginning, I found it hard to give my songs away, but now I've realised it's exciting, and it's only making me better.
One doesn't want to feel too contented; you have to feel challenged by the music.
As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.
It takes a lot of selfish time to make music.
