I would say it is an exciting thing to be able to play an instrument or to sing. It can be very rewarding, (if not financially at the begining) but at least…how to put this….spiritually? You know when you have a passion what makes you forget about all the problems and helps you through the hard times. It relaxes the brain and the soul, and flies you to a different dimension, so you can be engaged with your only passion.
Of course it isn’t easy and sometimes you lose perspective due to everyday struggle or other difficulties, a person might have in his/her life. Especially if you are not a full time musician and you have those damn bills to pay. Oh yes. Get to work, then back and have some rest, eat something and the majority of your day is bam…gone. If you stay up late to feed your passion, then you will be tired next day at work so it can put you off big time. But then you listen to the songs you recorded and it makes the whole thing worthwile.
When we have finished recording Too Years Too Late, I left the studio and rushed to the bus station at High Wycombe. Of course the last bus home was gone and it was raining like there is no tomorrow. I was looking for a cab office or something to get home but by the time I find one i was soaking wet. I looked like I had a shower with my clothes on. I was wondering if the cab driver will let me sit in the car. But it didn’t bother me. I was glad that all the recording went smooth and we were all happy with the outcome.
So in the end of the day It only matters what you like to do in life, and then all your days will be the brightest even if it pissing down rain for a whole week.
Be back soon!
