I see you

 If you’re a musician whose career is marked by health challenges that keep you from making steady progress, I see you.

If you live with odd brain chemistries that our modern society is only just beginning to acknowledge, I see you.

If you’re on the downward slope of your music career but still feel you have more music in you, I see you.

If you wonder some days what you’re here for, I see you.

If you’re not the right age demographic, the right look, the right sound that today’s youth-focused audiences and booking managers are looking for, I see you.

I hear you.

Make music anyway.

You never know who will hear, or who will need to hear it on a given day.

You never know whose load your song might help lighten.

You never know whose anger your song can help to diffuse, whose crying jag your music can soothe, whose misplaced guilt your song can help put into perspective.

You never know.

So keep making music.

Please.

Someone out there needs your songs, even if you don’t know who.

You keep at it, and I will do the same, and maybe one of these days we’ll meet up somewhere and trade songs.

Until then, hang in there.

Love, Beth
