Yeah it will, you know you put out the greatest record in the world. Depending on what kind of person you are, thats better then having all the fans in the world.

Well whats the point of making music if you dont want others to hear it?

Why wouldn't it mean anything? Music is the same no matter how many people are behind. If it's truly a good record someone will like it and pass the word.

The point of making music is to stretch pass what's been done before and make someone else feel what you're feeling when you wrote it. It's not about people liking it or even being heard. It's about expressing yourself.

makes sense. too bad its wrong. if that were true then there would be no CD's or concerts, b/c bands would be making music simply to appease some grandiose sense of selp-inportance, and wouldnt care about sharing it with the world.

It's true for me and I do shows once a month and I hand make cd-rs for the like 2 people who asked. Music is always selfish whether it's to appease yourself with what you write or to make money.

Why do people always throw this up?

If you enjoy what you do you wouldn`t care if you play to one person or one million people.

I wouldn't.

If I didn't have to change a single note I'd do it. But what I write isn't to make other people happy. It's to make me happy. There has gotta be more joy from people liking you for what you are rather than what you try to be.
