If we want to continue hearing the music we love, we need to support it. Because without us, the artists we love will no longer be able to create. And then we’ll be left with what the major labels deem to be what we want to hear. Sometimes it is, but don’t you want to have the freedom to listen to artists that aren’t necessarily mainstream? Well, they are the ones who need you the most. Often, they’re the ones who are writing the songs that really mean something – the ones that REALLY speak to you. Yet they’re the ones that are likely struggling given the way the music industry is changing. Streaming is (at the moment) making it more difficult to make money from recorded music, and it’s these independent artists who are suffering. Touring can be expensive – and while many of the artists would LOVE to tour, they simply can’t afford to. Your support is needed, and it’s appreciated far more than you know. If you love an artist and want them to continue creating, they have to be able to earn a living. Otherwise, they won’t be able to continue pouring their heart and soul into the music you’re consuming. For now you can find more of my music here www.reverbnation.com/mistorme
