Okay, cool. So it's freaking Saturday the 6th of July 2024 and this is going to be very difficult to kind of like compress into two minutes but earlier this morning I was thinking about the whole concept of selling your soul, especially from the position of kind of like being an artist.
It's something that was inspired by a thread that I read which is basically like you know the question was would you sell your soul and I was reading a bunch of answers and if I'm being sincere like I wasn't really impressed with
any of them because again the concept and the whole notion of kind of like selling your soul is kind of like the definition and the understanding of this notion basically differs between person to person depending on how much of an insight they've actually been given into kind of like music business the music industry as a whole and you know the correlation between music business and the music industry. That really and truthfully, of course there's the whole, I want to say lore, I want to say
there's the folklore of it in the sense of like, you know, actually selling your soul to like an entity or a spirit to a certain degree, of which there have been kind of like stories that have been documented. When I say stories, there have been fables that have been told, like you know, I don't want to say throughout history, but if you dig deep enough, you will find that there have been fables that account of said individuals, said artists that all of a sudden became super
popular and super talented. And we're going as far back as centuries in which the whole concept of the Internet or the concept of the television would have been borderline science fiction or, I want to say black magic if that makes sense because they wouldn't have known what you were talking about but then there's a whole notion of what it actually means to sell your soul the actual notion of effectively getting into a bad record deal a record deal
that basically kind of like ties you down for the rest of your life because you're going to be paying the labels back for the rest of your life and you probably won't be able to afford to pay the labels back for the advances that you've been given and even if you die, even if you die, even in the unfortunate event of your death, labels still own your masters and they're still going to make music, they're going to make money out of your music after the point at which you die. That is really kind of like you know becoming famous and you know like yeah um like that's basically what it is that I have to say about that.
