like how much does a musician likes the music he/she produces? Like enough that you catch your self singing it? Like I always felt that wouldnt that be a bit selfcentered? or have like a big Ego to like your music like that?
i like my own music because usually a musician collaborates all their music they love in their life into their own through lyrics, style, rhythm, etc. So its basically like im listening to all my favorite music in one, but with a twist of my own work. you know?
if they didn't like it, why would they show it to the world? even though they don't like it, they have high hopes for the world liking their stuff? lol no
Hell, yes... I make the kind of music I like to listen to. Sometimes I listen back to stuff I recorded a year or two ago and marvel that I actually managed to create it. Though it has to be said that the world in general doesn't seem to share my enthusiasm.
Like normally, a musician will like write songs he/she is like proud of. It is like this music that he/she will like want to share with the world. Like that is the way I feel, like I wouldnt like write something that I wasnt like proud of myself. Like so therefore, I will like put a like line through all this like stuff that I have just like written. Like shucks, there is no like way to like put a line through all this like stuff I have just like written, but I am still like proud of what I just like written.
I think it depends, if you are talking about someone that writes their own music, then I would hope that they like it. There are, however, lots of musicians that are paided to work on other composers/songwriters projects and is questionable wether they like it or not (its a job). There is also the reason a musician creates a piece of work, it could be just for money or something purely artistic and personally expressive or anything inbetween, which could effect their feelings about a piece of music.
Good point. What if you're a session musician and you think the piece you're working on is lousy, but you need the money ? Maybe that's the story behind all those songs that sound good in principle, but just dont spark in actuality. That kind of situation must be pretty depressing for the songwriter too...seeing all your song's potential draining away.
In my case, and I believe I've said this on another thread somewhere before, I make sure I absolutely LOVE what I've written before I release it to the public. Music is to be enjoyed, and if the composer can't even enjoy it himself/herself, then it wouldn't be fair to ask the public to also enjoy it. It's like offering a fake piece of cookie to someone and tell them it's real. You have to keep it real, honest, and one of the most effective ways to keep your music honest is by loving it yourself first and foremost. If you can get off on it, then the chance of other people' getting off on it becomes greater. I personally don't see that as being self-centered or big ego or anything like that. It's merely a display of self confidence, not arrogance. Arrogance is when I tell you I'm the best there is and your music sucks, lol. And I'd never tell another musician that because I'm a musician myself and know what it takes to be one. And I say to all musicians, be fuckin' CONFIDENT!!! Enthusiasm is contagious and the audience tends to pick up on it.
music is my medicine. the music i create and play i really enjoy. if other people like it as well, all the better then! spread the peace here's a few songs i've recorded, have a listen if you'd like, and i hope you enjoy it! http://www.myspace.com/bocollins88 PEACE.
i spend so much time ceating my own music that after i;m finished i;ll not listen to a tack or whatever that i'll move onto the next project and i wont listen to said piece of music foe awhile, and the i'll be amazed or disgusted, it all depend's, but yes i love to listen to my own music and alway;s have!
The only time I haven't liked my own music is if I've "written it to order". Like, somebody tells me what they want and you act on their instructions.
I'm not exaggerating when I say I hate nearly every song I've ever written. Over the past few years, I've recorded and deleted enough songs to fill up a few albums. It's always something stupid that I can easily fix, too. The last attempt was deleted because I hated the sound of the guitars, and I deleted it all instead of just re-recording the songs. But I'm onto something this time and I'll probably preserve onwards, despite the fact that I say this every time I start again.
sometimes playing the same things over and over, seems so F-N gay.. same songs for the last 30 yrs. why am I playing this, it sounds so childish I think for a moment.. Then the thought of rap music enters my brain.. then I go back to playing the solo to comfortable numb and feel much betters.
Me personaly believe i can always make it better or do it better. John Lennon was the same way he told George Martin in the late 70's that they could have done Strawberry fields so much better. So im pretty sure most artist are happy with their work but think it could always be better
i'm a musican, and i hate listening to my music. i mean, music is like my life and i've been playing for years, but something about listening to something that i played (especially right after i played it). or maybe it's really about listening to it with other people. i always feel too judged.
I agree. Given the fact that pretty much anyone can write and record something that sounds okay so long as they have a decent computer, I think a lot of what draws people in is if you have a look, a certain personality and a catchy band name and you don't present yourself as just some guy who recorded a bunch of songs on a computer. Either that, or you can dazzle others with your technique... the actual musical value of which is usually debatable. I think a lot of people aren't recording because they want something special, they are recording because they think they have something good and they want to get something out of it-- attention, sex, adoration, money, friends, whatever... but really, nowadays a lot of the time the only difference between a great album and one that nobody really listens to is the attitude of the people responsible...
