I could never be famous
There's just too much to it
You go from playing small shows
Only your close friends come
You're lucky if you have 10 people there.
It's personal
It's intimate
The music is between you and those few people
It has meaning
Fame kills the intimacy of music
While you can try to preserve it
It will never be the same
I look at some of the bands that I've watched grow
They start out with so much to gain
I want everyone to hear them
But at the same time
I want them all to myself
I want the music to be about me
For me
And while in some part it still is
It suddenly becomes for the whole world too
I don't want to be famous
I want my dream to come true
But I don't want it to be the way that it is now
The way society takes people and changes them
I want who I am to stay
But in the end
If I really want to make my dream come true
If I really want to take the center stage
I guess it's time to change...
