people keep on wondering what the fuck i am doing in estonia and wondering why i am not more popular. they dont understand the failure it takes to get to where I am as an artist. not as a successful musician or famous performer but as an ARTIST. someone who is true to their feelings and expresses them through art and is unafraid to go deep and dark. most people would’ve given up long time ago and in fact, most people have probably given up on me.
failure beats the pretense out of us
failure cannot be taught in a book or class
it can only be experienced
struggle
making mistakes
etc
I have a line in one of my new songs “never gave up, I failed gracefully, even failed at failure and failure failed me” (from Letting Go)
I am after life that can only be experienced, that’s why university is bullshit for someone like me.
