The Completely Normal Life of a Musician 😂🎶

Me: “I’m going to spend today working on my music.” 🎵
Me: 4 hours later:
• Played the same 8 bars approximately 147 times.
• Finally got it right… and immediately forgot how I did it.
• Spent 45 minutes looking for the perfect sound.
• Recorded 12 takes.
• Decided Take #3 was actually the best one.
• Accidentally deleted Take #3. 😳
• Wrote one brilliant line.
• Spent the next hour trying to remember what inspired it.
• Practiced something I already know instead of the thing I actually need to practice.
• Checked social media “for inspiration.”
• Somehow ended up watching a video about a drummer playing underwater.
• Had a sudden burst of creative genius at 1:37 AM.
• Promised myself I would remember it in the morning.
• Did not remember it in the morning. 😂
And then someone asks:
“So… what do you actually do all day?”
Oh, you know…
I make music. 🎶
Which apparently involves playing, practicing, writing, recording, performing, promoting, networking, creating content, managing equipment, answering messages, organizing gigs, learning new technology…
…and occasionally staring at a blank page wondering why I ever thought this was a good idea. 😂
But then… You hear that one perfect note. That one chord. That one lyric. That one moment when everything suddenly clicks.
And you remember: Yep. This is why I do it! ❤️🎶
What’s the part of you being a musician that non-musicians simply don’t understand? Feel free to leave a comment below...

We can write our songs and choose the style of music we want to hear our words in. Some of us don't play all of the instruments, so I think it's fair enough to get AI to help us put music to our words. They still are OUR words.
