Casey Shea : Music And Life…

The video below has me thinking, and I’d venture to say it might have you doing the same…
Now sure, I’m certainly living a more unconventional life than most, following a dream and not holed up in a cube….but still, I find myself searching for some sort of success…..to reach something or somewhere….always looking towards that next goal, that next big show. (like tonight’s with Jesse Lynn and Paula Valstein at The Highline Ballroom – Doors at 6, Concert at 7!) Then the show comes, and the show goes, and I start the cycle over again. Searching…
Funny thing is, the shows are usually the least enjoyable….they fly by and leave me empty, and they’re never as perfect as I want them to be. But as this video says, the big show is just an end point….it’s not the point of the composition. It’s not as fun as the rehearsals, not as satisfying as actually writing and finishing a song, and certainly not as beautiful as all the daily life in between that too often I’m taking for granted….all that in between….that’s the good stuff, that’s what the composition is about….now if I can just always remember that!
