I give and give and give, but it seems like I will never reach critical or commercial success, or even just anyone liking any of it as much as they like other dross.
Ever felt like your creative efforts are hitting a brick wall? Luke Hand certainly does in this episode of 'Luke Hand Diary'. With his mood at a 3 and energy at a 6, Luke dives into his growing frustrations with the music industry. The middlemen, whom he relies on to get his music onto streaming platforms, have postponed his album release, citing abrupt track endings as the reason.
This has left Luke feeling disheartened and questioning the gatekeeping that stifles genuine creativity. Luke doesn't hold back as he criticizes the industry's tendency to favor artists with unremarkable music over fresh talent. He argues that these gatekeepers should focus on logistics and let the artists handle the creative side. His reflections on the need for self-respect and considering retirement from the music scene are raw and relatable, especially for those who have faced similar struggles.
In addition to his music industry woes, Luke shares personal insights from his daily life, including mood and energy ratings logged in his sobriety app. Despite feeling like 'the world won't listen', Luke continues to create and share his music, driven by a deep sense of passion and resilience. Tune in to hear Luke's candid thoughts on creativity, gatekeeping, and finding the strength to keep going.
