I was 'realizing' that music was 'different' from other things in life. ↗

It may not be the most popular but there is a place for it. I think about the kind of music I love, acoustic, melodic, and I guess it kind of took a bit of courage on my part to think I could be one of those songwriters. ↗

Just look at the Old Testament. They didn't go out with the army first. They sent the musicians out. ↗
