we all have to swallow the bitter pill some time in our musical lives...
and for those who are still wondering, you will soon wake up that making music is not a sweet walk in the park...
Labels will not bank on talent without marketability just because money does not grow on trees...
Lahat tayo dumaan sa punto na tumugtog ka ikaw pa ang nagbayad, ensayo mo galing sa tinipid na baon or kupit sa magulang. Natalo na din kami sa battle of the bands ng kaibigan ng mga judges, tinangahan sa stage dahil hindi kami magets ng audience, nagkalat, nagayos, tumugtog ng lasing, tumugtog ng walang pamasahe pauwi. But why do we still do it? Kasi mahal ko ang musika...lampas na ako dun sa punto ng pagpuna o pagpulaan sa industriya...dahil wala naman tayong magagawa kung ayaw nila nito at gusto nila nun, kumpanya nila yun eh
We decided to play certain brands of music that is not widely appreciated by the masses, we have to deal with the fact that not all people will like what we do and that's what makes us unique and special...
That's how i fell in love with rock music anyway it makes you feel you are apart from the rest...At some point too naging jaded din ako pero the music weighed more than TV exposure or singles being played on the radio...Play sincere and people will listen, di ba yun yung goal natin as musicians? Get our message across? Mababait naman din yang mga yan as persons, it's just that they took a diffferent path from us...
AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ARE ALL JUST MUSICIANS MAKING MUSIC..
