I haven't been writing here firstly because I'm busy, but also because I feel like I've been writing to flush out all my 'feelings' and not so much to talk about music.

But then I had the thought, is that not art? What is art if it isn't an expression of your experiences and emotions? Art is the language we use to explain the unexplainable. Without that behind your art/music what is your music? It is most likely fashion. Fashion or ego centric back patting. Or both.

I write about relationships, but rarely romantic ones. Or rarely successful romantic relationships anyway. I care about understanding interactions. What is love and how do we show it? Does it even exist if you're not expressing it? Does it only exist in the action?

I write about expectations, family, parents, siblings, etc. I write about vices. Disappointment. All of the real issues we struggle with everyday of our lives. Unfortunately I'm afraid that most people don't want to listen to music about it all. We want parties, fairy tales, sex, vague lyrics implying depth, and not much more. Art is not about escape.

This blog is suffering from the fact that I'm playing and writing music more than I'm writing here. That's a good thing.
