Hello. I am persevering with writing, recording and releasing original music in this day and age. This is downright foolish.

 

Here are three pathetic justifications I catch myself believing every so often. If you’re an original singer/songwriter like me, perhaps they’ll stop you sticking a gun in your mouth:

 

1. My complete lack of any kind of success is actually a deliberate decision not to sell out and make my stuff more universal and consequently less potent.

 

2. Nowadays with so much online media, it’s more of an achievement to remain obscure than it is to achieve success.

 

3. It is the quality of my audience not the quantity.  I don’t want a lot of people to like my stuff for five minutes. I want the people who like my stuff to like my stuff and stay with me.

 

I don’t know if I really believe these things but I guess it doesn’t much matter. I’ll continue to keep writing songs. I’ve been writing songs for so long now that I don’t know how not to write songs anymore.

 

And maybe that’s the greatest pathetic justification of them all.

 

Or not. Whatever. I don’t know. Please buy my songs.

 

You can buy them HERE.

 

Thanks.
