As a follow up to yesterday’s post…
It’s why VH1 Behind the Music is always good…and always the same thing:
Artist turns into a superstar and all their dreams come true and they’re wildly unfulfilled.
It’s because they still are who they are, just with more zeros in their bank account and a better shoe collection.
If music had the power to bring them passion and fulfillment it would have, they’ve achieved the toppermost of the poppermost, everything music has to offer.
Music is incredibly powerful but it can’t deliver on that level.
You bring your passion to music. Passion is part of your identity. You bring your identity to music. Music helps expose it, but it isn’t the thing itself.
