I kinda get ta thinkin'...
...that the state of our industry right now is very much like the 50s and 60s was for music. So there are going to be pioneers who write things that don't always make it, until someone else does it just a little bit better.
Back in the 80s I would spend many a night writing songs with my other half (we were a Duo not married) not completing anything really, and then finding much of what we wrote appearing sometimes years later. It got so bad that at one point we thought our bedroom had been bugged by the major labels ha ha.
I think it's the nature of the creative beast, you have to be in-tune to see what will work and what will not. There are clearly others who are as in-tune as you, the generation gap is not the barrier you might imagine it to be, and anyone who simply gets it also will have the same ideas.
Does any of that make sense or am I just an old hippy?
- waldr 15y agoI love the analogy, it makes total sense. You can always bet at some point someone else will have the same idea as you, it's just your job to make sure if you believe in it you create it and do it justice. Unless I'm a hippy too..
- adotify 15y agobeen reading the jobs biography someone kindly gave me for my birthday last week, and it does take a certain mentality to want to take an idea and make it succeed over everyone else... Ive always been happy to quietly create, but perhaps i should stay foolish, stay hungry!! ;-)
