To every musician out there…
To every one of you making beats on their samplers and MIDI keyboards, to all you band members strumming guitars and beating drums, to all you singers belting out your heart, mind, and soul into your lyrics, love your music. To all my friends that are aspiring rappers, coming out with punchlines for days or heartfelt rhymes, love your music. To all my homies in the hardcore punk scene, making the most intense song you can make with that breakdown or two-step section, screaming your heart out for all of the Chain Reaction or Aladdin Jr.’s to see, love your music. To all the singer/songwriters out there, strumming on their guitar and showing up in every open mic night available, singing songs about your romantic life, or lack thereof, love your music.
Because at the end of those lonely nights, when you have your girl yelling at you, demanding that you pay your half of the rent…or when you don’t HAVE a girl to yell at you, or even share your well-earned money from your music grind with, your music’s the only thing that will love you back. When your parents annoy you and insult the pursuit of happiness that you chose for yourself and refuse to let you live in their house until you get a real job, your music’s the only thing that will love you back. When you have to tour for months without real food to eat except McDonalds, sleeping on nothing but your crappy van, and half the venue refuses to mosh for you, your music’s the only thing that will love you back.
Love your music, because sometimes, your music’s the only thing that will love you back.
