Things That Make Artists Feel Good

Nice hotel lobbies

Standing ovations 

Getting paid extra

Hearing your song on TV or radio

Seeing a line outside the venue

Clean transportation

Getting a text from someone who is hearing your song somewhere

Cables that aren’t tangled 

Getting asked back

When the front row knows the words

The manager saying “Here’s what I’ve been working on…”

Not having to be responsible for your own Sharpie

Compliments on a specific song

Free good food

Leaving for a tour

Coming home from a tour
