Beautiful! Love all of it. And this: "There is a natural and unavoidable cruelty in it, like watching a baby antelope being torn apart by a predator." Brilliant!
Thank you for writing this. I’ve been wanting to put myself back out there after experiencing a death on stage and I think I’ll reread it the day of to remind myself of the lessons you’ve learned.
Thank you for reading man! I've got nothing but love for people brave enough to get up there and go after it. Especially those who keep doing it. It's hard to remember why you love it sometimes when shit gets hard. Best of luck! Let me know how it goes. Rooting for you!
this speaks to me on so many levels. learning how to write for me has been like learning a new instrument as well--an instrument I want to protect from the toxicity I let sully music for me
I haven't listened to him. I'll check him out! And yeah, man. Comedy is a whole other beast. I've been having fun exploring it with writing but I can't imagine doing it on stage. That's awesome about you doing counseling. I'm actually in school right now getting a degree in it and am planning on working in the recovery field

I feel the same way. Being able to approach writing with perspective on what my relationship to music became has been incredibly liberating.

Nice bro - Do you like John Craigie?
I was a comedian and actor in my Early 20s...
Comedy is hard - Dying is easy...
I swapped it out to be a grief / trauma counsellor and detox specialist... a middle ground maybe :)

Beautiful article, Jimmy! I’m still a kitchen-singer and a budding songwriter. Love hearing about your experiences.
Thank you, Lowen! Songs still fall out of me from time to time. The experience is so different from writing essays and fiction.
