Money Vs Music

Okay, so Friday the 28th, actually no, scratch that, Friday the 29th of April. It's 7 o'clock but it feels like the sun has been out for like the last 2 hours if I'm being honest.



And if I'm counting back 2 hours, I would say like you know 5 o'clock the sun already was beginning to emerge and it was showing its face and kind of like smiling down at the city of Medway below. At the moment the house is still quiet which is surprising because it is a Monday morning and kids have to be fed, kids have to be taken to school, dogs have to be fed, like you know, it is, I do effectively live in my own daycare


forward slash farm centre. It's a bit weird kind of like recording this because nothing that is on my mind at the moment has got anything to do with music at all. You know, coming to the end of April, which I've been talking about the end of April for what feels like the last seven days, which is funny because surely the end must be the end rather than it being just, you know, seven days of like the end, the end, the end. Does that make any sense? Anyway, like, it's funny how like, you know, I'm recording this and it's got nothing to do with music at the moment because I have to look at the month ahead, I have to look


at May and, you know, look at all of the financial adversities that I'm going to be facing, which is frustrating because this is the issue that I've been trying to, I guess express for the longest time when it comes to music. There is kind of like an ongoing debate that I guess you can find online in many instances and it's kind of like the debate that I guess divides the artists that want to pursue the art and the artists that And I've written about this a bunch of times before because I do believe that money is important.


Even if it's for the sake of the art, money is important. Whilst I do believe and accept that art can be made for free and could be expressed for free, it isn't something that can sustain one's lifestyle. require, you know, if you do need to live your life, which nine times out of ten, you do need to live your life, there does, you know, this does require a source of income. And it's important to consider making your art that source of income so that you don't


have to divide your time between those two necessities, the necessity of you expressing yourself and the necessity of you just effectively providing a roof over your own head. So yeah, that's basically like what's on my mind at the moment and I'm gonna try and see how I get along with my day.
