Apology

[Felix Neumann]

Hey my fellow sneapsters

I feel the need to apologize...especially to Jevo, Bobby, Keregioz & Nuno. I've reached a point where it is impossible for me to continue business as usual.

I am fine..really! but I have no single percent passion for doing music anymore and I have no idea, when it´ll come back. I have 6 weeks holidays now and I plan to do completely different things like sports, doing motorcycle licence, playing golf in Ireland...nothing music related. The only thing what seems to be a pleasure music wise, is beating the shit out of a drumset.
Doing a beloved hobby professional is dangerous! Balance in life is so fucking important. I´ve learned..music can´t be the only savior!

I apologize for the stupidity of having made ​​promises to you, my friends! I can not fulfill the expectations and I´m sorry for that.

Dude

Take time off .. recharge and you'll come back to it when you get the itch. I say this from experience

and if for some reason 6 months from now you're not posting some new brilliant material that you started working on here ... I'm gonna fly to Germany and shake the ever-luvin shit out of you!

 

[Mago]

Sad to hear that man, but I know this feeling all too well
Doing different stuff is a good idea for recharging, time will tell.

Carlos, tell me when your flight goes, I guess together we can flip Felix over and even shake him upside down

A pitty though, I was about to show you some stuff my band's other guitarplayer did that I thought could interest you stylewise :/

 

[Felix Neumann]

Hahaha thanks, Carlos!!

I don´t want to whine. I´m accepting it how it is and I´m fine with. I know, passion will come back someday I make myself not so crazy about that. There are so much other things to explore and to enjoy and I´m really looking forward to it. I think, it´s important to refuel inspiration! That´s my mission for the next time.

 

[Jevil]

You don't need even to apologize dude!
As I told you, this is what happens to people who spend too much hours doing working for music. Friends of mine (professionals) went to psychologists to find inspiration... but that is a thing that comes as it goes.

Don't worry about it.

Go out, do some sports, take some beers, fuck, whatever ... and don't think about music anymore when you are on holidays. Your batteries will be charged again.
Otherwise I will fly with Carlos and Marco to germany and will pull your moustache out alive!

Glad to hear you're doing ok for the most part Felix, but it's still sad to hear, since you have so much talent as a songwriter, guitarist, producer, etc. - here's to hoping the vacation is exactly what you need!

 

[Felix Neumann]

Hahaha you guys rule!! Thanks Mago & Jevo...for the case you visit Germany, let me know early enough so I can buy good dutch beer lol

Thanks Marcus! Yeah, it all began insidious...I got more and more guitar students until I had to pull the emergency brake. I ask myself what is more important, money or free time. I think It´s kind of burn out I went through, but I don´t feel depressed or something. I´m looking forward to do different things!

You hear that Felix? Please don't make us do this to you

 

[Sweetnothing]

Sad to hear Felix...but then again, I understand your position, even the most beloved passion needs a rest sometime

So, as others said, have fun, enjoy the good things, and when you feel up to it, you'll come back

You have a lot of talent man!!!

 

[Djunn]

No more Fallout covers?

I've been in the same boat for 2 years. Eventually will and inspiration come back. Until then, enjoy your new stuff.

Thanks Joseba! Yeah I have no doubt, It´ll come back. Like I said, I´m not sad about it, I accept it as natural consequence. It was a concern to apologize though.

 

[grywolf627]

We all know how it is Felix. This is the exact reason (well, one of them) I had to quit the studio business. It took something I loved doing, and turned it into something I loathed. Now that I just work on my own stuff here and there when I have free time (at least, I remember that concept of free time, before having a kid lol)...I actually enjoy things again. Take a break. Like you said, get your mind onto other things. I'm sure the inspiration will come back to you. When you have that sort of natural talent, it will always find its way out again.

 

[Keregioz]

Hey Felix, no need to apologize, I was only a little worried because you weren't replying to my messages the last couple of weeks.

I hope everything will turn out ok.

Take care.

 

[guitarguru777]

You have to make time for ALL the things you love. You have been doing nothing but music for wayyyyy too long. You need the break. Trust me I have been there I took 5 years off from playing the guitar after I had my accident cause I had no desire to even listen to music let alone play it. Then one day I woke up and it was all just htere again, the love, the passion the desire to create.

Take your break dude, it will only help you in the creative process when you decide to come back

PS If you dissapear from this forum I keeeeel you, you can still post in off topic

 

[Soundlurker]

No worries
Already wrote to you on G+.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Thanks a lot, mates. I´m glad, you understand my situation!

Of course I´ll not disappear from this forum. I think the responses in this thread also show why I´ll never do so. It´s still the best place on the www beyond porn. You guys are cool cats! And I wish you all the best I´m still interested in hearing music - keyword inspiration. And I can´t wait to hear the new Watchtower album!!
