The words you choose matter. They say a lot about your value system and the value system of your audience.


***Pertaining to the first part…I’ve noticed many online companies play around with different ways to give you 25-33% off of stuff. Once you start noticing, it’s amazing and the unique nuanced language that companies use to provoke action when essentially giving the same deal.

Words matter.

Do All Your Songs Sound The Same?

Ask any artist…

Do your songs all sound the same?

Every artist will say no. Even the artists where their songs DO all sound the same say they don’t sound the same.

Every artists believes they have an eclectic catalog of songs.

So why do they all look the same live?

Why do so few artists care to differentiate how their self proclaimed diverse catalog of music looks in a live setting?

Your songs deserve the full treatment. They deserve to have their own look. Each song needs different attention and creativity pumped into it when taking it from the recorded version to the live version.

Silent Response

Every artist wants the crowd to go wild at the end of each song. And I hope that happens a lot for you.

But it might be worth pursuing the exact opposite too.

Getting finished with the song and for there to be absolute silence.

That would be pretty cool. That would have to be pretty powerful.

Pursue the screams…and the silence.

Taste For Sushi

It’s better to start a band when you’re young because you aren’t used to sushi yet.

But rather…

A bunch of roommates, black beans and cereal in the pantry, having to check your balance before committing to $1 taco nights.

It’s all good. After all, you’re not used to sushi yet.

Rushing To The Next (Note)

Lead singers rush.

Guitar players rush.

The drums and bass try not to rush.

Even when I air drum in the car and there’s silence in a song I always start the fill too early to come back in.

Why are we always rushing? I have two ideas…

1. We don’t want to miss out on the excitement of the next note. The excitement of the next thing that’s happening. Like a kid on Christmas morning looking at a stack of presents and must dive in before it’s time to dive in. We just want to get there and the less waiting the better.

2. Silence is uncomfortable. The silence before the next note is uncomfortable and we long for comfort. So we rush to get to comfort. The discomfort of the silence (of the space between the notes) makes us momentarily antsy…longing for something to fill the space. So we jump the gun to gain comfort…to make sure that something is always happening.

I’d argue that the space between the notes is just as important as the notes. That there’s no need to rush.

I’d argue that the excitement will be there when you get there (you won’t miss it)…and will even be amplified if you’re willing to fully embrace the silence and space that come before it.

I’m talking about rushing in the context of music, but it serves as a pretty good metaphor for life in general.

If You’re Truly Thankful...

If you’re truly thankful

for the opportunity

for the show

for the people showing up

prepare and deliver in a way that you can walk off saying you’re welcome.

***When I say “saying you’re welcome”, I don’t necessarily mean speaking those words into the microphone. You’re Welcome is a posture…a posture of connecting, serving, gratitude and confidence.
