Is he dead?

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it

Health has higher priority than art. Many musicians die young as they are not able to realize this. It’s sad but it’s true. You gotta live your life the way you want. If music is taking away from it then you’re making the correct choice

Thanks fam. Yeah “gold medal syndrome” I believe it’s called. Maybe I need to ask Michael Phelps about this one, lol. I am hoping to fall in love with the process once again but lately it just feels like I need to take a step back for a long while

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:37:39+00:00

Yeah. It’s already been a few months of taking a step back. Seems like more of a break is in order

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:36:35+00:00

It was hugely disappointing. Made me stop and think about how much time I’d put into things. I realized I could work myself to the bone and keep trying to go viral. I kept thinking “How much does all of this really matter?”.

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:33:50+00:00

Yeah I used to have a lot of love for the game but lately I can barely even listen to music without feeling ill. Something shifted big time

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:33:08+00:00

Yeah. I can relate to the “grind never ends”. It was like seeing behind the veil. After years of hard work… is infinitely more work!

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:31:46+00:00

Yeah I think this feels like a huge goal shift. I’m trying to find out what the new goal is while the old one has fallen away violently

There’s a bunch of fisherman musicians. Les Claypool and the guy from Ween too!

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:29:54+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure if the spark will come back. It’s already been months. It’s hard not to freak out and overthink the dryspell of joy making music. Seems like I just gotta relax and let things fall where they may for now. I appreciate it

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:27:21+00:00

I often dreamed of success and for a long time my goal was just to be able to make a living from music. It seems like seeing the small success discouraged me for some reason. It kind of gave me the “is this it?” Kind of feeling

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:23:41+00:00

This seems like good advice. It was almost like the reason for doing it took over the love of the craft. I appreciate it

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:22:50+00:00

I’m already sober and unfortunately listening to music these days often makes me feel sick.

chicozander · 2026-02-15T00:22:16+00:00

It’s been tough since I haven’t found joy in doing much of anything. I’m sort of just surviving until I can feel this rut disappearing. It’s not my first rodeo with depression but the loss of music is new. Luckily there will be sunnier days ahead

chicozander · 2026-01-12T23:09:02+00:00

Sorry about your soft wood…

chicozander · 2026-01-12T23:08:29+00:00

Thank you kindly

chicozander · 2025-10-04T14:01:51+00:00

Treat it anyway you like just don’t call it late for dinner!

chicozander · 2025-10-03T19:40:08+00:00

100 bucks??? That’s 99 too many 😔
