To make just to make, to share just to share, to connect just to connect - to act without intent nor purpose, to act not to affect, but just to express, to give voice - we are nearing, probably, in a time when the wheat and chaff of music is ascertained, the value is no longer in coin but coinciding- who has figured out how to put soul into the machine - find them, reap. And as for a livelihood?
“The song talks about the good things in life sometimes not sticking around for long." - Marcus King
“There’s a struggle that forms as I attempt to balance my social media content to keep me both informed about the world and inspired to create. Connectivity often feels like it keeps me chained or absent, but simultaneously it can also drive me to go make new things. Perhaps it’s just an excuse I make for myself, but in my head there really is a push/pull that exists, and so I’m left trying to find a way to develop some kind of reasonable symmetry within the tension of my tech habits.” - Ian Devaney of Nation of Language
