I like, I can, I want and I should be a musician... but I get no feeling when being listened for others... :-/ only when I do it for myself only. I don't understand it.
My purpose is to create music that reflects me and reaches towards the stars.

When you play live, and you really play live, you dont feel happiness or sadness...you kind of hit the "now", as it were. You aren't worried about it. All your mind focuses on is were its at and making the best live representation of your creation as possible. Never play for other people, play for yourself, but feel free to share it to other people. Playing live is probably my favorite thing to do, it makes you focus on the songs alone, and is very organic, imo.

Do you play alone or with a band, because a band amplifies the feeling tenfold.
