The Documentary Version

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

In the documentary version of you making the thing you’re making there is narration over the top explaining what’s going on, a bed of mood music when things get hard and then it starts swelling when you start getting close to the answer…and in an hour when the documentary is over…there’s resolution. That’s why the documentary was made in the first place.

But back when you were actually making it in real life there was no uplifting mood music that lets you know this is the part where you’re about to find the answer. There’s no narrator guiding and explaining. And there’s no resolve in sight. Not even close.

That’s why making and releasing music is hard. You have to lay it on the line while no one else is caring. All of us in the audience, we want you to go through the suffering so we don’t have to…but we get to watch the documentary version and listen to the final song and feel good.
