Of course i still have ears and still hear stuff but it has almost no conscious effect on my songwriting.
Instead i'm totally focused on my own stuff. I'm acutely aware of my own style and the elements that form it. Some of these elements i embrace and some i'm constantly fighting against but it's mine and i like it.
But, i don't get paid for it, it's art for the sake of art... not sure i'd recommend it to everyone. |
I used to be like that. Boring rock songs did it to me. They zapped all the fun out of music. Then I found other genres I like and I actually enjoy other people's music again. I actually blame rock for how I got there.
