Losing the passion to make music

Hey guys these are my opinions on losing the passion to make music: 

A very good, eloquent video in a chatty style. Brings up many points that should provoke thought.

I personally think that if you have music in you you'll never lose the passion for it altogether. For composers there may be bad days, bad weeks, but it's always there lurking in the background. For some, composing is an innate compulsion; others are attracted to it like many are to the rock guitar. They may do well, they may give up once they realise what effort it's likely to take. With much effort anyone can become first class but it's another elusive step to become an artist. It's always good to take up an instrument even if it's a daw with an adequate means of recording or sample library but for orchestral music, playing an orchestral instrument is essential. Just practice until you're of an adequate grade. It all takes time and effort but it'll prove its worth. Along with score study, playing in the local orchestra is a great teacher! And.....always meet your deadlines.

So, congrats on putting it out there, SilverWolf.

@Quinn I definitely agree with you, even when we lose passion to for music if it's true to us, it'll always come back. When I stopped playing guitar for a while there was still a part of me that just had fun playing music. I wouldn't mind that I wasn't in a band and I just had fun playing covers of songs. To me there was always so much energy in the music that after every workshift that I finished, I always wanted to practice! A form or mental relaxation when you're just jamming out, its like you become numb to all other noise and distractions, I definitely enjoyed that! And that's why I believe that you're right about that, even when the dark times come, there's always a desire to just return to it. Like 2nd nature to have a hobby such as playing an instrument!
