Listen For Yourself

First Monday of the month, new Hum Love playlist on Spotify and Apple

Good albums are just as hard to make is the bad ones. That’s why it’s tough to tell how good an album is by hearing the artist talk about it in interviews.

The artist talks about the making of the album as a long journey, ups and downs, creative road blocks and break throughs, the blood sweat and tears and years.

But amount of effort has never been a very good measurement for how good a song is going to be.

It turns out, if you really wanna know, you just need to listen to the songs for yourself.

Castles And Boxes

Maybe this castle is the best one this sandbox has to offer.

The building of the castle is always up to you but the boundaries of the sandbox are real.

And you might say…But I like this sandbox!

Yes, but what about the castle?

More Than We Need

We all have it.

That’s why our next choice is so interesting and important. We recognize we have all that we need and more, so what are we going to choose to do with that level of freedom?

Our mental bandwidth isn’t used up by survival…but that’s how powerful it is. The cognitive force that we used to use to keep us alive can now be pointed in a different direction.

It’s a luxurious level of freedom…that is worth being thankful for.

Perfect Is For Amateurs

It’s too early. It’s too late.

There’s too many people. There’s not enough people.

It’s too hot. It’s too cold.

Waiting for the perfect time is for amateurs.

Everything significant you’ve ever done has come from you taking action despite it being too…

How Many Bands Are There?

How many burger joints are there?

If you’re going to open a burger place it’s a good idea to find out how many other burger places there are in town and where they’re all located.

On the other hand…

How many bands are there?

Nobody starts a band and decides on their genre by evaluating how many similar bands there are in the market, or how many artists are on Spotify.

Music, in its essence, is from the gut. It’s not concerned with market share or consumer trends. It’s made from emotions and instincts that are put into melody and rhythm and words. It’s not designed to be a profession. It’s designed to be connective.

Part Of "I'll Take Care Of It"

It’s a gift when you tell someone ‘I’ll take care of it’.

There are two parts that make it magical…

-actually taking care of it

-after you’ve taken care of it…not dragging them through all dramatic details and hurdles you had to overcome in order to take care of it. Their unknowing is part of the gift to them.
