i've heard several artists say that all they really want is to leave the world a few great songs to be remembered by. on the one hand there's the money aspect. but in terms of reaching an audience, a memorable song is about the closest thing to immortality you can achieve. at least it makes a pretty awesome headstone. to have your song become a part of culture. and have your name remembered hundreds of years from now. because a good song never goes out of style. or becomes obsolete.
do you think any songs on the radio these days, years, decades, are immortal worthy? or will they all die with the hype?
like Britney Spears. i can't picture her being anywhere on the radar in twenty years. Madonna my ass. i was talking to my dad about this once. and he was telling me about this blonde teen pop-sensation back in his day who was the biggest thing on the radio then. top of the charts. in every magazine. and within a couple years she was virtually forgotten.
thats why i make music. something to be remembered by. i dont think it will make me immortal, but it will leave a tiny little mark on something somewhere, i hope.
Immortality through music is reserved for the big famous ones like Elvis and Janis and the Beatles and stuff.
