I had a dream about Madonna, the other day.

She lived in a castle in Scotland. It was sunny and she was showing me around her garden which was huge. Sean Connery was playing golf in her back garden and I waved at him but he pretended to ignore us.

I played alot of air guitar and listened to alot of Jimi Hendirx records.

Yes, almost all the time. I sing when I feel good. I have always musicians friends. I wrote text and some songs, but it's buried in a closet. I dance with my dog, sing with my family old hebrew songs, sing with my boyfriend, with my daughter by phone (she's 9 and wants to be an actress), i send her tracks, she sings back...

But that's all. When I see what's on tv or on radio, it hurts. But I'm much too shy to sing in front of other people, except if drunk or desperate.

I have written songs and I am so deluded I think they are going to be hits even if I can't sing or anything.

I wish i could write songs.


But i love to sing..

I desperately wanted to become a star. I have been daydreaming about it till late puberty but I think I'm okay now.

I played guitar for 10 years (school of music) and I even bought an electric guitar and amplifier. I desperately wanted to be in a band and with 2 classmates we decided to start rehearsing. It didn't work.

A few years later I realized that I didn't have the talent to be a professional guitarist and I quit the idea of becoming famous. My songwriting skills suck by the way.

When I was a teenager, I started writing lyrics with a friend of mine. But when I read them now, I'm quite ashamed, coz they were either pieces of existing lyrics of bands we liked, or they were total crap. Only the ones that came from the heart are alright.
Plain texts and putting my emotions, feelings and thoughts into words are no challenge for me, but it was the rhyming that I wasn't very good at, and the idea of following a song structure.

We were also going to form a band, we had it all figured out. I was going to be the singer ! (I'm not too bad at it, you see.) But when it should have happened, it didn't, and the idea died a quiet dead.

I still fantasize about going on a stage and entertain the people with something I would love doing, though. Must be an amazing feeling, although I realize that it undoubtly brings a lot of stress and dissappointments with it.

Oh well I still write texts regularly. Sometimes fiction, other times dreams or fantasies. I get a lot from that, as do some other people...

Yes, i play in a band... i am lead guitarist / songwriter we get a few small gigs now and agin. But we do it for the music.

It is nice to see so many real perfomers here at .ORG.

yeah i did. i wanted to be a jazz singer like ella. no i didn't do anything to make it happen, never thought something would come out of it.

When I was a kid, that's all I wanted. I learned to play guitar (and piano) and played in bands (sang, too).

As I got older, I realized that - even at superstar level (and the kind of music I was interested in writing certainly did not lend itself to accumulating that kind of audience) - it means dragging your ass around the world every couple of years and being away from friends and family. It's also a tremendous crapshoot as to whether you'll make it (talent or not) and, these days, sustaining a career in an increasingly fickle music industry is incredibly difficult.

I still play for fun, but definitely not sorry I didn't pursue it.
