Sometimes it feels like that. After you have spent, days, months, years trying to get your music noticed and still having the impression of the music just lying there with increasing layers of dust being the main contact the music has with other organic matter. But I guess that’s half the fun, or a substantial percentage of the fun. Afterall as they say its the journey not the destination that matters. Not if you’re going on your hols it aint!! do I hear you mutter.:-)
And then why is music about the only activity that does not compensate you for your hours of labour? Why is it that music which is so fundamental to peoples existence is now often expected to be provided on tap for free? Free downloads, professional musicians and bands performing in clubs and pubs for free. Does that not belittle the artists creations/endeavours? These are probably age old arguments but would you expect an artist to give away his painting or a carpenter his beautiful hand crafted table?
Just some thoughts, traversing my mind, this cloudy, rainy day. Hope you don”t mind and having said all that I’m now going to do exactly that, point you in the direction of where you can listen to yet some more music for free, but also some where you can actually lower your bank balance, by only a miniscule amount and some where you maybe asked for an email address. Fair exchange me thinks!
Firstly Geoff West has created another video this time to the song ‘Choose Life’ about a young man who took his own life after participating in a suicide chat room. Sorry sounds depressing but the song and the video are uplifting. You can view at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFuKdBV9jeo
I have also uploaded a new song called ‘Waiting’ , http://www.reverbnation.com/nickiehart a slow, upbeat ballad all thrown into one. Had an interesting review:-
“Beautiful piano intro, melts your heart and the vocal works very right with the instrumental part but the question is who wants to listen to music like that now-a-days? The vocal though is very talented.”
So my question to you is would you listen to the song and why if the music is beautiful would you not wish to listen to it? Something for you to ponder and do post your comments on this or any of the topics above. I would be interested to hear your thoughts.
That’s all for now. The week-end awaits us. Have a brilliant one, all you amazing people out there and thank you for your time!!!
Don’t give up! I listened to a preview of the song and it sounded great. You’ll definitely get somewhere if you just persevere–it’s just a matter of finding your niche.
Thank you ever so much for your encouragement.and for your comment.
I shall certainly persevere. Best wishes 
No problem, and that’s great! Same to you.
