"Why do you make music?"

So yesterday i had a little fight with my band-mate who's actually my boyfriend. So it started when he said:

" i think we should delete our songs that spread on the internet?"
"Why?"
"To against piracy"
"what kind of piracy?"
"like downloading and that one person will share it for free to his friends"
"but those song are locked, nobody can download it directly"
"but some people can hack it. It's so easy to do that hack! and That song is not released yet"
"some people, not everyone can do that 'hacking' things. And that song is a Single, i thought you remember that our Single Hits released few weeks ago"
"That some people will spread our song to everyone. And our album is not released yet, it's not 'the time' . "
"and if people spread our song, that Single song. What's the disadvantage for us?"
"It's just not 'the time' "
"That song is a single, it released. Let the people listen to that song and enjoy it"

Okay, forget it.


And the-other-yesterday-yesterday, my friend asked me:
"lo buat musik karena cinta atau karena hobi?"
"hmm... gatau. emang kenapa?"
"kalo gw sih karena cinta, mau ada yang nonton atau enggak gw akan tetep maen"

*Is he doing pencitraan?*

"apa perbedaan antara yang karena hobi dan karena cinta?"
"ya kalo karena hobi, cuma buat seneng seneng aja. Kalo karena cinta lo akan tetep maen musik apapun yang terjadi"

IS THAT??

"gw sih gatau gw buat musik karena apa. Yang gw tau, gw cuma pengen... dan gw lakukan." gw menutup.

Dan gw jadi berpikir, kenapa orang mementingkan alasan-kenapa-buat-musik? I don't know why i make music. And if you insist: i make music because i wanted to.
Perlukah kita me-label-kan diri kita dengan alasan - alasan tersebut? IS THAT NECESSARY? Seriously, i'm asking. i don't give a shit if people say that they play music for hobbies or love or peace or whatever, those reason won't change the music they've made. It won't make it worse or better.

Just make your music and show the world.
