Never letting artificial sound replace my human ability to create. Here I am self-learning a wind instrument, I hate playing these things but I gotta do it for the love of making music.
There are no step by step instructions presented to us on how to be free, like all other things, an excess of one thing is not good nor does it give balance. Too much peace of mind and too much happiness isn't necessarily a good thing, I know it may sound harder to believe, but it gets boring. There's an unnatural pull to living it easy and not worrying about anything, it feels like a dream but it sucks. It's lazy, unmotivating, less challenging, and feels like a spoonfeeding.
This isn't it, there's beauty in hardship, feeling uncomfortable, self doubt, anxiety, depression, etc. Peace of mind is a vacation and it's a cage, now it's time to get back to work.
Last night I sang my heart out in the streets of late night Poblacion, probably the longest set I've done ever spanning about 3 hours. I sang originals and covers ranging from nirvana, the strokes, king gizzard and the lizard wizard (surprisingly some guys there knew the lyrics to rattlesnake and sang along). I also made a rock version of "bold ni wally" and everyone loved it!
This is Ethan, a random dude I chose to give my song to. It was literally Just Right On Time for him cause he's moving to Spain and this is his last inuman with his friends. He loved it and genuinely thanked me for dedicating the song to him.
@erning_pikit_hudas had a small amplifier with him and let me plug my guitar into it to let me perform in front of the nightlife of Makati city.
Definitely had a blast!
Thank you Cragen's Liquor store and my friend's Samosa kariton!
