Video #996 of 1000 – M Lund – Undercover Cure. For Day 996 of EveryDayMusic on Dec.22, 2014. Recorded in his workspace (office) on Dec.20, 2014 in HD (XA10 in 1080p).
I’ve recorded Matt a couple times before but haven’t posted him because honestly (?) his music isn’t ‘my style’. But I had a few hours to chat with him the other night and as a ‘guy who just writes songs’ I think he’s doing a great job working for things he believes in “Undercover”. So I post this as a ‘reality check’ for us all (who believe music has to sound a certain way or believe they know what a ‘good musician’ is. To me a good musician is one that is honest with themselves and plays because they want to, not because they want to be rich or famous.
For me it's not whether you or i or anyone else thinks a musician is "good". It's about music being art and whether that artful endeavor speaks to you or not. There is a LOT of music out there that sells big time but does not speak to me. i know i like a LOT of music that will never sell much. So, in the end, it's about music that does something for you, makes you feel something or moves you.
