BEHIND THE SCENES
THE SONG INSIDE INC.
We live in exaggerated times. Exaggerated excess. Exaggerated scarcity. Every day, we hear the stories of our lives through the genres of drama, tragedy, and either irony at best, satire at worst. All around us, we see scientific surrealism (artificial and alternate realities, attention pulled elsewhere by something other than ourselves) or social nihilism, which requires no explanation. Science and Social Science have their place but where did the Arts and Humanities go? For many reasons, today the Arts are taught largely as criticism or curation. Who is left to compose something, paint something, dream something?
There have been turbulent and dark times in human history. Somehow, for however long, we are still here. Across time, place, and circumstance, artists provided visions of new life—ways to see beyond inertia of the times. Music, literature, performing and visual arts show us that there are two faces to human experience. Sometimes, a good natured, but unlikely, character makes it: a better life, loyal friends, personal fortitude, a happy ending…
I have come to realize that in a competitive world of epic heroes, it is indeed the lyrical notes that present the grandest deeds: a farmer in his field, despite all, optimistic yet another year; a parent in full song on the carpool home from school; a triumphant toddler putting away their own toys for the very first time; a neighbour sharing their abundant zucchini crop; a family whose teenager will receive a kidney transplant thanks to an angel they will never know; a widow volunteering to make sandwiches for a friend’s baby shower. This is the beautiful meaning of life. Quiet, forever present, and there to be discovered in every day.
For too long, I, have played a part in someone else’s show, written pages of a story I didn’t want to read, and filled life’s canvas with shades of grey. I am an artist. I believe that you are too. I created the Song Inside Inc. to set the beauty in my heart free, with the hope that you will do the same.
Sincerely,
