Surely a lot of music is inspired by relationships though?

Fair point, but I also work a job that gives me long hours

Yes you’re overthinking it.

I figured, just needed some insight

It all comes down to where would you rather your hands and mouth be?

Yes, stay single

Yeah the bad aspects: Breakups, fights, cheating, hatred of in laws, abuse, jealousy, etc.

Everything in your life will change how you write. How you manage your thoughts and emotions will determine which way your writing goes. Channel it and use the energies for greatness or allow it to take you somewhere less majestic.

My point is still valid!

Did I say it wasn't?

Yes. I wrote great music when I was so fuckin unhappy I couldn’t sleep at night. Then I met my wife and she had the nerve to make me happy and now my life is great but my writing sucks

Honestly depends on the girl, I’m a touring musician that has his fair share of different kinds of relationships. The best thing is to be 100% honest with her. This is also where it’s important for YOU to judge whether you think a relationship would negatively impact your music.

I would try it anyway, in the worst case scenario you get something to write about

Good advice man, thank you

Aw man! Your writing will get better so long as you keep making time and putting effort in. This applies to your budding relationship too btw.

I've been with the same woman for 6 years, and my writing (+ my ability to have my shit together and thus have something approaching a career in music) has consistently improved throughout.

Good luck with both 😉

Avoidant attachment style. Thank me in 15 years time.

I would say you’re overthinking it, but that’s still alright. You should go for what makes you feel happy and alive. Because our interests are morphing at all times, even if one writes sad songs while single and being in a relationship cancels that out, there’s other things to discover and write about. All the best.

Think of the inspiration a relationship brings..

Yes and no.

depression is excellent for creativity. For survival.

In relationship, you have to sacrifice her out of your mind, and make time to think about art and yourself.

You need reflective time. So most people cant balance it and they become docile

You are 100% overthinking this. It's possible to have a very balanced life.

Bit touchy aren't you, had one of the above recently?

No I'm just wondering if you can read

I can read just fine, it's just a shame you see trying to be edgy (and coming across as an idiot) is the same as making an actual point!

I don't think it's stupid. If I hadn't met my partner I would have def put more into music.

I think if you want to do music above everything else you need to make it your priority, and yeah one thing that is powerful enough to disrupt that is love. I said I wouldn't let anything get in the way of playing music everyday. I did. It was love.

I mean I honestly believed you were illiterate for a second there, and you're calling me an idiot?

Find a way to include her in your work. Two birds, one stone.

Kinda my thought as well. But at the same time, i'm just suck when it comes to releationship and prefer being alone i guess
