📍They do have a special relationship: the ingenious melancholic, this composing scientist without technology, and his guitar. They love and hate each other. He needs her, but isn’t really interested in her - at least not in the way professional guitarist usually are. Thanks to “𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒔” he has learned to love his instrument, which had almost become an office appliance for him, again. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 - 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬:

Today I wanted to share with you this excerpt that caught my attention, where 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐 talks frankly about how his relationship with his favorite instrument, the 𝒈𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒓, went into crisis and the reasons for that to happen. I imagine it must be terrible for any artistic creator to feel that they are losing the motivation and excitement to keep producing their art.💔 Fortunately, on his trip to India, 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 managed to get inspired and connect with his passion again, which led to beautiful songs like the one I invite you to listen to below.

💠"𝑨 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒐 𝑺𝒂𝒚 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒃𝒚𝒆 ", 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎, 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓? 𝒀𝒐𝒖, 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏, 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒔?

🎙️𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏: Yes, it's like a letter I would address to me. I went to India last year, I was there during the tsunami ... There was no damage, like there was in Sri Lanka or in Madras. I took my guitar with me to make it mine again as a friend. Over time, the guitar became an instrument of work. A job, so to speak. Before being in a band, it was a friend and... Well I was trying to have an honest conversation with myself. I wanted to make myself understand that the world doesn't need another dead rock star...

💠 𝑨𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕?
🎙️𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏: (𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑡𝒉𝑒𝑛 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑠𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒)...Yes...

💠 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒑𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒆𝒊𝒍 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈'𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈 "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝑫𝒐𝒏𝒆".
🎙️𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏: Yes, right. We were in Brazil in March and we learned that the last time Neil Young had played "Rock in Rio", he wore a Placebo T-shirt (𝑏𝑖𝑔 𝑠𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒).

💠 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒂 𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒂𝒔 𝑫𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑮𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒓 𝑩𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒆, 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆?
🎙️𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏: You know, writing songs is a way to talk to yourself. You tell yourself things you would not tell yourself in everyday life; it's such a chance to have this form of expression. It provides a way to understand a bit more his life. It's constructive and positive.
