are we swimming in a shark tank? July 25, 2009
most recently i’ve come to the discovery that the internet… myspace and facebook and other social sites, has reached a new age. I’ve so often felt drawn to what the interwebs have to offer, but, for the first time in my life, i’m starting to feel lost in it all.
i ‘ve been told all my life, that i must push for greatness in order to be great. the conviction i bring to my daily life is maybe sometimes unfounded, but it is real in that way that faith is real. so, my identity is very much related to that “go! go! go!” lifestyle. thatwasthen may not have much to show for their greatness other than a handful of rockin’ shows and a great first ep. but does having a rushed, low-rate, unoriginal music video, a banner with a logo written in briar and a flash-animated website make our content any better?
when i see myspace, i see a tank filled with desperate and hungry sharks. i see a slough of people and bands that might not ever make it. why? because of content. and yet, still feeling lost in it all, i can say that i do not fear the future for thatwasthen. in fact, i welcome it. you see, i can feel it in my bones when i play with my brothers in music, that we have a future. a very long, bright future. have you ever been to a show? have you ever had that feeling?
if you’re saying yes, then i implore you… make our music your music. listen very hard to what we’re trying to say. watch very carefully what we are trying to do. when you get it, point it out to someone else and see if they get it. Once they do… well… then we’re on our way, aren’t we?
