A perfect life

 

Oh Grace, what a beautiful picture!  You are totally a pinup girl.  I hope you love your own music and your new single, more than what you expect other people to.  I like that song, and the single sounds awesome.  Again, it's most important that you love your own music so you put in the work to make it better.

This is your first band.  You don't have a permanent lineup yet, right?  People have their own lives to live, so it helps if you could give them a living.  Getting signed is not the answer!  You will become slaves!  The solution is to make the most out what already pays.  Which means merchandise will only sell when you stream.  Which means you need to stream more.  Which means you need to make endorsement deals.

Keeping a band together is very difficult.  We need some sort of success.  I was loathed when I was younger and active in a group.  But I was able to keep some sort of band together until we moved to Phoenix, and things went to hell there.  AndrĂ© died, I was the one who found the body.  I've been on my own ever since.  I discovered Mary a few years ago, and I knew she had to be protected.  But I have nothing.  All I can rely on is God.  And that is how this music survives today.
