Do you think Pat The Bunny knows that the line “I know that it’s a little dramatic, but the word for not changing is death” spoke to my soul in the most raw way ever when I first heard it

My love for folk punk as a genre stems exactly from this. Passionate people who say that they need to say and mean it. Maybe it isn’t the most “talented” or eloquent or utilizing crazy time signatures. But it’s real. People genuinely singing their hearts and beliefs into reality.

You don’t play this music to get famous or rich or even be popular and liked. You play it because you have something to say, something you want the world to join you in feeling. There’s no corporate ghoul hanging over your head. Just art and love and eachother.

I myself am just saying this as a very out of practice vocalist who’s never actually been part of a full on musical project, but like. I means something. The shitty banjo, the sharp twang, the rust on your vocal cords. It all means something, and it’s real.
