It’s very miserable. I believe that that’s the issue is artists have slipped into this function of like, “Well, I do need those things.” You don’t… however if you wish to earn money I assume you do. I used to be all the time of the ilk of make what you need to make, and if cash comes afterward, it’s a bonus. Plenty of my songs truly do fairly properly on TikTookay, however I by no means had to consider, [mocking voice] “Well this should sound pretty good sped up!” At the identical time… what do individuals say? Get that bag, or no matter? Live your life nonetheless you need to dwell your life, I don’t give a fuck. But youngsters don’t appear to love occurring tour anymore, both. Going on tour was the best present of life for me. You get a van with your folks and drive round, social gathering each night time, share your music, see the weirdest elements of each metropolis and meet different bizarre individuals. It’s like, “Would you like your life to become an adventure? Here you go.” And now individuals are like, “I’m so tired…” I don’t need to sound like a grumpy previous uncle, however it’s unusual!
Well, grumpy previous uncle or not, it will seem TikTookay is giving DeMarco’s chart rankings a pleasant little increase.
