What bands do…
1. Write music
2. Play music for people
Inherently, that’s the deal. That’s it. Make these two things great.
In high school or college it was common to stay up all night writing a paper, finishing a project, studying for an exam. The NEED was understood, so sacrifices were made to meet the need. Even though we probably hated the entire situation anyway.
But when is the last time you burned all night to make the music great, or to come up with ideas to make the shows great? The last time you stayed up to do something you actually LIKE!!??
It’s probably been a while, because you don’t feel the need.
But that doesn’t mean the need doesn’t exist.
It does exist.
I’m not saying you should stay up all night every night this year…but I hope you experience the level of “need” for great music and shows that staying up all night is associated with.
Write music. Play music for people. That’s the deal.
