Hey all,
Back story:
This is a post for all the musicians, painters, writers, poets, artistic types, and it's not a love post on gaining women. It's more of an aid to help guys on here further express themselves. As men we become so afraid to express how we truly feel. We get told that we are to be rocks and show zero emotion. If we do show emotion that it's supposed to be during extreme circumstances such as death or turmoil. I never lived that type of way. I wasn't overly emotional as a child, but I wasn't cold either. I questioned the world around and I curious about the picture I could one day paint. Sometimes you have to dig deep to find your muse or motivation.
Doing it for me or rather you?: My work or your work
I believe any skill set can be morphed into an art of some kind. However, whenever you begin to do something artistic you must determine your audience. When I first started putting my music out in the world it was terrible. I wasn't trying to make money though, I was doing it for me. I was my own artist, I wanted to make something I could feel. I wanted something I could relate too. I was a nervous about sharing my work with others at times because everything was personal. I had made something and if you didn't like it, it would hurt. It's not because you're not free to dislike what you like, but it hurt because I felt like I wasn't good enough for the moment. That was my motivation for my work.
Respectful: Tell me something new
I wanted to make something for myself, but something that people still thought was good. I would play songs for people in the middle of the night and they would say "Damn, oh that's you" or "I didn't know you write this way". I had become a person who could express themselves by accepting themselves. I knew I needed work and I sought someone better. I sought people who could make me a better singer, guitarist, bassist, or whatever. I was doing for pure passions sake. That was what people saw in me that made me different. People were seeing different parts and pieces of me in my work. It wasn't a love song but I put my heart into it, every time.
Remaining Humble: Ultimate Beginner
I love people can show me things from different angles. That's the beauty about art and being open minded, people see things so differently. I'm constantly learning new ways to play different pieces of music. I'm learning new ways of how to write and so on. If you want to be remember in time, you must always learn something new. You must learn to adapt, change, and grow. When you refuse to grow you don't bare new fruit. I think back to the places I go and I only look forward to the places I'm headed.
Take care,
Just Dave
