About Inspiration

Hello!

 I am going to have a midnight talk to you about... Inspiration!

 I remember talking to our former bass player Brenda some time ago about what bands she likes to listen to. She has a great taste in music and i like finding new cool music through her. Well, she mentioned MGMT. i did hear a lot about them, but never checked them out for real. It was time. Googleing "mgmt". And a web site comes up and it's called " who us mgmt?" oh! Perfect! Clicking on it and it is their official web site and it takes me right to their video " congratulations" talking about never being the same after watching it. Yes, half way through i was a FAN. Till now the are my everyday inspiration. Not only their music, but their lifestyle, their personalities, story, style. I love MGMT and some exciting news! They are performing in August at Musikfest in PA!! Wow! With their schedule being so scarce, and including such places as Brazil and Mexico - Bethlehem, PA sounds like i am friends with Luck :)

 Another interesting and inspiring person for me, that i have discovered yesterday - Pharrell Williams. Wow, just randomly watch a youtube video of him talking at ASCAP conference in LA and - i found his ideas and thoughts are so useful and current for me! He was talking about questions that i was seeking answers to !! Now thanks to him i feel so much inspired! Refreshed. Strong.



Recently some memories of my early middle school days arose. I remember taking a part in a play and i had to tell a story about Demosthenes, an orator in ancient Athens. His story gives me strength every time i think about him. He was a very sick and shy boy with bad diction and quiet voice. But he had a dream of becoming an orator. And - through his believing in his dream and hard work every day ( like standing in front of furious ocean trying to talk louder than stormy waves)he became one of the iconic orators.

 Also i am truly inspired by my bandmates. Dan, a true musician and artist. A few years ago we were discussing a question written on my shirt. It said "Live for..." what do you think? And Dan said: for music. Simple and breathtaking. Scott, our drummer, with his true enthusiasm and happiness for simple important things. Also a genuine person. And of course a true talented musician.

 And what are you inspired by? Share it with us :)

 Sincerely yours, Ania
