The other thing I wanted to say about music is that all pieces of it are getting somehow similar to each other, as if being cloned from one certain matrix. Of course I admit there are only seven notes, there are not that many possible chords or variations available, but I still think it is not that impossible to create something new and innovative. All the songs I hear, all the texts I read, and all the singers I see are so much the same. I don’t mean they are stealing ideas or trying to imitate the more successful examples of their kind to get louder fame – nope, at least in most cases. The problem is that nowadays it has become much easier to produces music and singers just like hamburgers are produced – to use the same established standard, the same set of ingredients, the same marketing strategy to make it popular with consumers. Music has turned into business rather than art, and playing music has become a means of merely getting fat profit. I’m not trying to say music shouldn’t earn musician’s life – by all means, you should get money for the job you do. The other thing is that money shouldn’t be the primary reason for that. Music itself is the only thing that really matters. And if you really feel that way when creating or performing a song, it will really tap into souls, influence bodies and minds, give inspiration and make everybody listen to it and live it through. Moreover, if some real feelings and emotions could be added to the faces of the performers instead of the artificial ones, I guess none will ever be able to say that music lacks authenticity nowadays.
