Watching Jay's latest podcast – yes, watching – I didn't stop YouTube and it rolled over to this video from an artist called Venus Theory which essentially asks, with regards to making music:

what's the f**king point?

After an amount of discussion he quotes a friend as saying:

It's not about building this 'thing' to be remembered.

It's about living your life and enjoying it while you still have it.

Profound.

Music has been such a big part of my life, since I was about 8 years old and first heard Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang.

I make music for the same reason I listen to it, because it speaks to something inside of me. Making something of which I'm proud enough to share it with the world gives such a sense of satisfaction.

I heartily recommend the project that he talks about in the video (on YouTube here, the soundtrack is on Spotify and probably elsewhere) as it is such a poignant and emotional piece.

Oh, and if you don't listen to, watch or read Jay's podcast then you're missing out!

"If everything's ready here on the dark side of the Moon... play the five tones."

I'm not so sure about that, but everything's ready for the 808 Day track to drop tomorrow. 😆

Really looking forward to sharing this one with the world.
