Thoughts on Ordinary Days & Global Affairs 🌏💭
I have a lot of thought bubbles coming…
The world is in a state of flux, and being a layman’s social commentator and wannabe artist, I feel like part of my job is to observe, reflect, and somehow condense it all into bite-sized morsels for an audience to digest. 🎶🫧
But not all days need to be big philosophical days.
Some days you just have to sit back and think:
“This life… I am grateful for it every day, both good and bad. Still breathing is a good sign.” ❤️
Sometimes it’s the little things...a job, a phone call, or a chat with someone in a café while getting coffee. And sometimes it’s doing something for someone else…
One of my other jobs is licensing NZ music through Songbroker Music Publishing, and today I’ll be drawing up agreements for film productions and commercials in the Czech Republic + Slovakia 🇨🇿🇸🇰, via the Netherlands 🇳🇱, the UK 🇬🇧, Australia 🇦🇺 and New Zealand 🇳🇿.
Which sounds rather international and glamorous from a desk in my office 😂, but what it actually means is that local artists will benefit through licensing fees and ongoing royalties.
And that makes me very happy.
Then I think to myself… how lucky am I to work in the industry I love AND still make music myself? 🎸🎹🎶
If I’d asked my younger self whether this life was possible, I probably would have said:
“Unlikely.” 😂
But now I realise something. If you just keep at it, even when it feels like you’re getting nowhere, even when the path makes absolutely no sense at all...somehow, eventually, you get somewhere.
Maybe not exactly where you thought you were going. But somewhere pretty good.
Maybe even better. ❤️
Anyway… those are today’s thoughts from my little corner of a rather bonkers world. 🌏
Have a great day, everyone. x
