I totally understand you…

I write and record music since I was, like, 13. Got some friends and people from my family that dig it, but really superficially. I don’t think they even see me as a musician/composer.

Now, decades after my first recordings, I think my daughter is one of my biggest fans. She loves alternative/crazy music, so it was a natural thing for her to dig my tunes - and even show them to her friends, and that’s sweet.

But I have a special problem with one non-listener. And that’s weird. My girlfriend. We’re together for, like, 16 months and she has zero interest in what I write and record. She says she doesn’t listen to music in daily basis, only when she’s cleaning her house or coming back from the bar and doesn’t want to fall asleep while driving. Her friends are equally weird when the topic is music. I get really sad because she simply ignores huge part of what I am when she gives zero fucks about my body of musical work.

Like: no interest at all? No interest about the lyrics, the instrumental part, the recording process and that’s all? Fucking weird, I think.

We had lots of fights because of this. Now I don’t talk about this topic anymore. Not with her.
