I wanna be...
Mar. 9th, 2010 06:27 pmI know I really seem like a Reznor fanboy...but I guess you latch on to idols that you feel a connection with...and he grew up in the same place I did. And I eventually started writing music that wasn't so far away from his. I guess I kinda look up to him almost like an older brother that I only knew through art.
I realized that Deep came out when I was 13...and I'm not even sure I was listening to Reznor yet then. And Deep was midway through his discographical career. He got better from Pretty Hate Machine. PHM was very unfinished, very unpolished, very harsh. Everything kept getting better, maybe as a result of equipment, but I think he grew a lot as a musician in all of that time.
And what this means for me is that I can't ever give up because I need time to grow myself. I'm not even ten years into making music.
