I never know what to say after someone says, ‘your music is beautiful,’ except to agree with them. for me, beauty is an end of conversation.
the beginning is different: this is when you have to be suspicious of your best lines, your best melodies, tell the unusual from the boring.
beginning kills.
but beginning also produces all the discoveries. that’s when you start to say the things you didn’t know you knew or could say (which could sound beautiful to someone).
only then your song has a chance of being interesting and alive against doubts.
