What I want in music…

Some people wonder what my goals are in music. What I hope to achieve. Many bands & musicians obsess with wanting to become popular and successful. That’s stuff is nice. I like all that stuff too. Like all musicians, I want to be recognized and hopefully become successful. The problem that most bands have is that most bands make music as to entertain the audience. That’s how I look at most bands around the area. I look at them as entertainers, not actual musicians. Now before I get flamed for this topic, let me explain what I mean. Most bands want to get people dancing and get them wild. That’s pretty much, the entertainment I’m talking about.

I would like bands to concentrate on the music more. They should be writing good songs, where people can actually listen to them. Make songs where they can actually sit down and listen. I never cared about hit songs and never cared about pop music.

This is why I admire, Sean Rowe. He’s the type of songwriter where you want to actually sit and listen. He doesn’t care about making pop songs and doesn’t care about making people dance to them. It’s about the music. He just wrote songs however he wanted. I’m sure people want him to write pop songs that you could dance to, but he just writes whatever comes to him. Not giving a rats ass what anyone else thinks and writing songs how you want to.

That’s how I always felt about my music. Wrote songs however I wanted to write them. People want me to go back to writing serial killer and horror songs again, but I can’t go back to that. Would I ever write another song similar to “Evil Fred” again? No. Probably never. I’ll still play “Evil Fred” and my older songs at my gigs, but my future songs will concentrate on real & honest things. Like politics, current news, protest songs, etc.

I like to look at my live gigs as an opportunity to show off my songs in front an audience. Not to be some pop entertainer like most musicians around here. I think you get my point now.
