I thought about this for a second, and kind of drew this conclusion. Why to I enjoy playing punk rock more than playing what I was playing. Here's the main reason. I am playing this style of music for the people that are listening to the songs and finding a personal connection in their meaning. I am not doing it for self gain. I am going to to help those who are in need of a get away, receive that personal relief that they haven't been able to find. It's not about the money, fame, or girls. It to me is about getting a point across, and touching someone musically.
To me it is about being able to tell a story from the heart, and not write some messed up dream that could lead someone down a disturbing path, and become self destructive. Even though those stories that are sung may have a dark meaning, they are connectible and let the listener know that, they're not the only ones who life is fucked up. When I go t shows, I know that some people around me have had it worse, and this is their escape, or their locked door. I want to help those people someday. That is what I do what I do.
Even though the perks that come with it, ie: money, fame, ect.. are good, they are not what I want out of playing in a punk rock band. It not about me, it's about them, the listener, the fan, the one who is feeling strong emotions when they come to see a punk band and want to get away.
That is what I stand for when I hit the stage these days. My aim is straight and true now a days in what I want to do musically. Just give me a course, and I will get there...-SS
