Art.

If art makes people feel less alone, I think it’s a worth while endeavor.  That’s not the only criteria to judge art by any means.  But I think we too often attempt to create something so that it will be popular, positive, marketable, or make us money, rather than just attempting to share our hearts in our art.  To give a true piece of yourself as an artist could be really stupid because it puts more out there than just a persona.

Some artists want to have a party and forgot that life is tough, and I think that’s great.  But I don’t think its what I want to do with my art.  I don’t know if I want to give people an escape from the reality of life.  I’d rather give people who are in the thick of the reality of life, in the midst of the hurt and pain, a sense that they aren’t alone.  I would rather speak to the person who just got diagnosed with cancer, the person who just got their heart broken, or the kid who just got his/her heart ripped out by a person he/she looked up too.  I would rather tell them that I’ve been there, that those experience hurt like hell, that they scare the shit out of you, but that there is hope and there is a time when the wounds don’t hurt as bad.  That you can move on.

I want to be in the thick of life with people who are hurting, not with the people trying to pretend that life isn’t a heavy and intense thing.  Its just not in me.  That might not make me the most fun guy, but its who I am.

My friend Emma showed me this song this morning.  It’s pretty much amazing and I had never heard it before.

I didn’t have much to do yesterday so I did this.  I’ll have another cover out very soon, one that I collaborated with my very good friend Claslan on.  Stay tuned.
