I love music. And I love finding new music. Recently, I've found a lot of stuff from "lesser-know" [Canadian] artists and it's all amazing! I wish it was easier to find new music...
Anyway, what I wanted to say was that I'm very selfish about my music. I mean, when I find a song or an artist I love immediately, I want to spread the word about it/him/her. However, sometimes when you post a good song on social media, no one ever really listens to it. I've definitely been guilty of this: scrolling through my news feed on Facebook, for example, and passing a YouTube music video one of my friend's has dubbed "the best ever."
Then again, there are other times when I share a song with a friend and they get super into it and/or the artist too. This is where the selfishness comes in: I want to keep the artist to myself and not have other people obsess over him/her. Although it's good for the artist when more people know about him/her because fame/money is one of the ultimate goals for singers (right?), I would rather keep him/her to myself.
Alas, this will never be, because someone else might accidentally stumble onto this person as well, and I have no control over that. So I have a very hypocritical way of looking at music I love ;)
Do any of you guys feel the same way?
