“You
know you tried but you cant say no. They only love you when you lose
control. Its like the world waiting for the new sensation on the next
generation sideshow.” - Sideshow by Villebillies
Music
is something we all know. It's like an international language. No
matter where you are from music can express feelings to those that
don't know what true feeling is. Music as a whole has been a huge
part in my life. Apart from my grandfather, music has made me who I
am today. Tho I don't play music and nor do I sing, I am still a part
of music. So where do you stand in this movement?
The
sounds of music have been around since man can remember. Since the
first caveman picked up a bone and bashed it against someones head.
The thud from that beating made a sound. Even animals make music. You
can hear a bird chirp and sing its own little song. Even the rain can
make a nice calming sound that can be music to some. Or the waves
crashing upon the shore at the beach. Music is everywhere. You just
have to know when to listen.
Music
comes in all different styles. No matter what it is there is a fan.
Many people out there play music and have their own band. Some of
those artist aren't good at all, but no matter how bad they are there
is someone out there that likes the music. Noise to some is music to
others. As John Lennon once said in a Rollin Stones interview.
“I
don't mind people putting us down, because if everybody really liked
us, it would be a bore. You've got to have people putting you down.
It doesn't give any edge to it if everybody just falls flat on their
face saying, "You're great." We enjoy some of the
criticisms as well, they're quite funny; some of the clever
criticisms, not the ones that don't know anything, but some of the
clever ones are quite fun.”
Where
there is art there is criticisms. No matter where you go in your life
there will be that one person to put you down. But like John said if
everybody liked them it would be boring. So there will be at least
that one person that hates your music. But don't give up there. Keep
following your dream. Just like the lyrics I posted up top the world
is waiting for the new sensation. So do what you love and challenge
the man. Don't conform to the radio. Yeah that will bring in money
and money is good but where is the love.
Where
is the love? Most of the famous “artist” has lost all heart. They
do it for the money. I can't get behind that. The artist that still
have that heart, that drive, that passion, that love is some of the
most amazing artist around. The Beatles where a huge band, and they
still sell albums today. This is a group that challenged the way we
think about music. With songs about a girl in the sky, or a guy
claiming he is a walrus. But now we have artist that talk about ass
and titties, and big booty bitches. But there is still hope out
there. Still artist who have the drive to actually make something
they love. Something with heart. Something people are missing.
I
am not saying that you are all wrong. All I am saying is open your
ears, open your minds, and just listen. It wont kill you to try
something new. Artists are always trying something new. I know I have
talked about The Beatles in the post a few times but they are a great
example of what I am talking about. Look at their history, and tell
me that they didn't make music for the people, music that they love.
As I said before that there will always be fans, and non fans. As I
finish this post up I want at least one of my readers to try a new
band. To sit there and listen to the lyrics and the music. To find
that heart that I was talking about, and post it below. That is your
homework. Now get to it. I will leave you with words from another
band. Just take the time and listen.
