Mensagem de Shawn Crahan

Music


Time to speak to those who may want to listen. It seems like forever since I took the time to reach out and grab the internet potential, but because everything is changing I thought I would go along for the ride because I love change and we all know change is good. Lately we all can feel the heat of the world like no other. It's getting hard out there for all the humans to stay above water. Tempers are flaring and things are absolutely different in the world we live in. I often wonder how long it can last and have we lasted too long already or are we simply just going through the phases of life like all those before us. One thing is for certain, it will only get better from here because things have been really weird for a while. I'd like to speak about the one thing I love and the one thing that is in my life everyday, MUSIC. Music has been the one thing in my life that has opened up my life and it has always been there when I needed something. Everyone talks about the record business failing and how everything is going down the drain. I do not disagree that the business of Rock n Roll is failing, but the one thing I know for certain is that the love for Rock n Roll is bigger than ever and stronger than ever. Music can pull us through the hardest of times and be your only friend when no one wants to listen. You can trust music always and believe in the art of music always. It has always been there for me and like I said, I have been so blessed to have the life I live because all I ever wanted was to live my life around music and have it help me have a family and a life that I enjoyed while I serve out my time here in this reality known as life. In times like these we should all turn to the arts to open up the true potential of change. Change is what we need and why not have it start with music. Music is always there for you and it really does not have anything to do with the business of things. Make your own art, play your own music, feel safe with your thoughts. Share them if you can with a friend and maybe together we can change the way things are. Thanks for everything that you do in my life of the music I live. I surely do not know what I would do without it. It is as important to me as the air I breathe, so let's breathe it together and watch the world change right before our eyes. Get ready, make your own music, make your life.
