When the band came out
They stood behind you
Cymbals crashed
The lights went blue
You stood alone
In the halo’s haze
Shiny guitar hung on
Gold lamé
And you
You were the lonely one
You were
The lonely one
When you perform
It’s so intense
When the critics pan
I write in your defense -Wilco, song “The Lonely 1”
It’s a lonely endeavor…
To be passionate about something and want to do it 24/7 if you could.
To be bursting with enthusiasm.
To strive for excellence.
To make art solely for art’s sake.
To put your whole heart and soul into something. To risk.
To obsess over every detail because you care that much about your intended audience.
It can feel like a lonely endeavor because there’s only a few of you out there.
But they’re out there.
You’ll know it when you see it. Game recognizes game.
Find them. Strive with them. Help them feel a little less alone.
Go make your art together.
