i am music

i don’t know who i am
or what i am

i don’t know anything

except music

i know music

i am music

music is my religion
music is my home
music is my only true family

the process of learning music…
the process of creating music…
the process of performing music…
the process of listening to music…
the process of experiencing music…

ultimately,
i don’t care about anything else

music is oxygen
music is life

without music, there is nothing but chaos and death

music is the light
music is the fluctuation
between seasons

back in my street musician days in london i was frustrated one day
finding the right songs to sing to make money… to pay rent and buy food
(to become famous so i can afford to produce the sounds in my head)
songs i wrote and thought were great
people walked by, made me feel like i’m a pathetic loser zero human
what am i doing here, i asked myself in anger even as i sang

there was a wise musician there who told me to forget about playing songs

just play music and the people will come he said

i’m still trying to figure out what that means.

it’s the sound of a confused human sharing his discoveries

Exploration.
Inspiration.

I want to ignite wild madness in people.

i suck at everything except music
