btw, concerning art


someone told me this once.
been trying to find my way back ever since.


"To me the self-revelation required in art makes it a horrible, binding, and bottomless commitment, and I'm turned off whenever I sense dishonesty. I like your stuff because it doesn't have dishonesty and I think you sense the horror of the self-revelation it requires. The song especially was beautiful. Commercialism is dishonesty, and most of the time, the codes and rules that define a "music video" or "movie" are only repeated because if we break them, the thing will not sell. At the very least, we must examine the codes and ask ourselves why we are operating in them."
