Work.

April 18th, 2019

WORK. That’s what is on my mind. I’ve always worked. I’m a working class man. My current status can’t change that. The amount of time I have, is unclear and no-one is pretending they know any better than I do. So, I have thought about this and I intend to work until it’s not possible anymore. 
I work mainly, for other musicians, these days. I write lyrics, record vocals, often both for the same song or album, sometimes, just lead, sometimes just backing vocals, quite often, both. 
If the voice doesn’t suit the genre or I know someone else that could do a better job of it, I pass that onto the customer.
If the music and ideas are right for me, we agree rates, we plan a timescale, we do the work to the satisfaction of the customer and we send finished files. Or mixes. Or both. 
So, from today until I can no longer serve this purpose, I will do this work.
Colleagues and friends have advised such a course and I am taking their advice. I’ve always liked writing and recording, so there’s little point changing, just because.
My voice and my pen still work fine. Nothing’s changed there. So, in the inimitable words of Seal, ‘Bring it On’.
