What Is It You Want So Bad Again?

ArtistOnStageWhat’s really going on here?
What are you going for?
Is it money?
Is it fame?

The desire for money and fame hasn’t seemed to get you ahead so far.  It hasn’t been enough.

We need something bigger

We need something bigger if we’re going to break through this wall and take this bull by the horns.

If we’re going to get up in front of people on stage, if we’re going to market our music to people, we need another sort of breakthrough.

You’ve been focused on having to be successful

Having to get so many fans, having to get so many ‘likes’.  All that’s well and fine, but it’s not the reason you do music.  And if you’re not focused on the reason you do music it’s not going to make sense to you.

You’re not going to do it.

So why do you even think about going out and playing live?

Why do you record music and why do you dream about your music career?

What’s The Whole Idea?

What’s the whole idea anyway?  What’s the Dream?

To make lots of money.

Why is that important?

— Because I don’t like my day job.

What don’t I like about it?

— Because I’ve got this gift I want to share… feel compelled to share.  I like to be creative.  I’ve got great songs!  I’m supposed to interact with people, inspire them, not sit behind this stupid computer in a cubicle all day!  This is not who I am.  I need to show people who I am.
Anyone could do this job.

Why do I need to be who I am? Why do I need to express who I am?
Why do I need to show people who I am?

— Because I am alive.

You don’t want to be told

You know something others don’t.

You know your truth, though it’s difficult to reconcile with the world around you.
This truth is more important, and transcends any external advice or information. 

It’s the only thing that matters.  Your music is the expression of this truth, expressed uniquely by you and by you alone.  You know this, even if it’s in a rather vague sort of way.

You’ve been told you can’t be a musician and make a living, you can’t be a musician and find a partner, and that you’ll never amount to anything. 

You’ve done it anyway, well, half of the time.

Push comes to shove and you can’t help yourself.  But you’re fixated on proving them wrong, on having to prove something, on having to justify your decisions, your sacrifices, because essentially, you feel guilty about it, mainly to yourself.

And that so-so job you’ve got doesn’t help either – you always feel you just need more time.

You’re always focused on what you don’t want instead of what you do want.  Guess what?
It won’t motivate action for your music career and it won’t get you ahead.

What is it that you want so bad again?

You need to focus instead on what makes you do music in the first place.

So what’s the reason you do music?

— It’s the only thing that’s ever mattered.  It’s my dream.  It’s who I am.  It’s my art.

— It’s the best way I know to show people who I am. It’s the greatest gift I have to give.

— It allows me to connect with people.

— It allows me to know who I am by connecting with others.

— It allows me to help others to know who they are.
