Breaking and Entering My Heart

Jesus said to store your treasure in Heaven where no thief can get to it, for your heart will always be where your riches are. I think it's good advice for any songwriters with real talent.

If you're a truly creative soul with music inside you, you know who you are. I would urge you to keep your music to yourself. Go ahead and compose it, of course. That's why God gave you the talent. But don't bother sharing it because you'll just end up like me.

You can spare yourself an awful lot of grief by just keeping the music private and waiting for your reward in Heaven. There is always the thrill of writing something brand new. And you won't have the ugly public reaction to detract from it.

I would accept what happened to me as God's will. He must have known that I lost sight of him and started longing for women and food. No wonder I was punished so severely. But I did gain something good from it. I am now a lot closer to my grave than I would have been without the internet. Closer to the grave means closer to real justice and my Heavenly reward. So it may all work out for me in the end.

You see what they think of artists. They would rather rob us blind than strike a deal with us. They would rather pass judgement on us than help us. And even after they're caught, they'd rather leave us in poverty than pay us. They'd rather turn the population against us than let us have any credit for our work.

Do yourself a favour and trust in the Lord. He's the only person you can trust.
