I love music if it's genuine. Like, real emotions and feelings coming through the music. No matter how good it sounds, if the purpose is making money or getting famous, you can usually tell (crappy lyrics).
And I love genuine instruments. Like, they can do crazy stuff with technology, but there is something timeless and unbeatable about straight guitar and piano and drums etc.
And also, autotune - isn't that kind of like cheating?
It's ridiculous how much emotions affect our bodies. Like fear, nervousness, actually causes your hands to shake of their own accord? WHAT THE HELL?! We should be able to control ourselves.
Or I should be able to control myself, I'm sure everyone doesn't shake when they're nervous.
So you know what?
I few days back I was walking outside and I realized something.
The things I do now, no one will remember or care about later. Later being anywhere from days to years. In a couple of decades, we will all be dead.
Basically -
No one gives a fuck.
It was so liberating.
Ohhh here comes one of those posts where it's like you're reading my mind! That's exactly how I feel about autotune! It's like the music becomes less sincere. Though I also hate when people aren't on tune. That just sounds terrible. Don't be a singer if you can't sing properly! If what I just said seems to contradict what I said earlier, I mean that I like singers who are naturally on tune and also sing with emotion! Those are the true singers.
