Is Your Best Yet To Come?

southwing	Date: August 11, 2007 @ 3:24 PM when asked why I keep making music?, besides just loving to do it, I reply "My best hasn't come yet" (might have or may never come). I heard Sir Pauls new one, its not his best, I believe his best came when he wrote 'Yesterday'. The Stones don't make hits anymore either. I think John Mayer may really surprise us. Do you feel that your best has or hasn't come
bigfootofget...	Date: August 11, 2007 @ 4:29 PM I'm always at my best :haha: Nah, in all seriousness I think some of the stuff I'm doin' right now is my best so far, but I also think I can improve on it...so in that sense, I say look out fo' what I'm gon' do next

ChillinBuzz	Date: August 11, 2007 @ 10:21 PM The Stones do make hits still but it's the kind that goes up your nose... I think the best has yet to come from me although I'm not so sure it will be within music.

Opossum	Date: August 13, 2007 @ 12:56 AM My best hasn't even begun yet.
K3VIN	Date: August 13, 2007 @ 1:14 AM I been playin around for years.. my best will come!
NickSawyer	Date: August 14, 2007 @ 11:30 AM I've only been doing music for 1.5 or 2 years, so yea, I think I do get better here and there as time goes
hantu	Date: August 14, 2007 @ 12:00 PM Honestly, i don't really think about it. And even if i had to answer the question "Do you feel that your best has or hasn't come?", it would be near impossible to answer as there is no end to the project of Making Music Because I Like To, and i guess that would be my answer to the first question directed at you: Why do you keep making music? However once i die the question could be raised by whoever "What was his best?" or even by myself if i'm in some kind of thinking form "What was my best?". But i'm alive right now and although i've stopped making music, it is temporary. So i'm thinking the question you ask us is invalid - I can't say "has" and i can't say "hasn't", although i guess i could say "has so far". Did i just invalidate this entire post? lol
southwing	Date: August 14, 2007 @ 1:52 PM It seems to be a common consensus that 'the best is yet to come'. To me thats great to hear. Must be why Sir Paul keeps trying to entertain us. You go Paul,I'll keep listening. But Mr hantu, I don't think my question was invalid, it was placed in the of the 'HELP' section of the forums, it was something I needed help with.
BOWILLIE	Date: August 14, 2007 @ 3:16 PM in my opinion..what is considered whats the best of an artists work.. is only limited by peoples individual tastes..what is important is creating for your self and only yourself. weather other people decide for you if this or that is a better piece of work..doesnt count one iota in the general scheme of things.if any one given person tells you it brought a smile..then its all worth while...a song that you work dilgently on for months could very well not get as much attention as a two day throw out.. again depending on peoples frame of mind at the time.. so my self i would have to say i have many years of writing yet to do..and all the best i can hope for is the memories they hold and bring back will bring a feeling of some acomplishment for the efforts.
hantu	Date: August 14, 2007 @ 4:06 PM "if any one given person tells you it brought a smile..then its all worth while" Totally. I'd like to add that if my music were to trigger any kind of emotion (apart from the pain of listening to this crap lol) be it happiness, sadness or whatever, i would be pretty damn proud of myself Seriously though, can you imagine sitting there with someone click play and half way through this person starts getting all teary eyed - Whoa! What Power! I'd love that, come to think of it i'd love it more than a smile. I guess this would come under my aims and objective list, though i've only realised i have such a list while typing this hmm something for me to think about...
GTOriginal	Date: August 14, 2007 @ 5:13 PM I think as I move on thru time inspiration fades a little, proportionate to a slight increase in technical ability, leaving it all exactly the same in terms of overall quality. Best? Ehh.. nobody can really decide about that while they are out of the grave. Then, I guess others need to make up their minds for them lol
realgtrhero	Date: August 29, 2007 @ 10:19 AM my best has yet to come, at least i hope so
gtr1960	Date: August 29, 2007 @ 5:23 PM I don't know ... sometimes I think I am writing crap then some Idea pops into my head and another song emerges. I wouldn't know if it is better or worse than any of the others...I guess my music really is like crap ..has to come out, smelly or not.
zedsalt	Date: August 30, 2007 @ 10:23 AM Somewhere around here, I've got video of Neil Young being interviewed after releasing a Crazy-Horse-ish album which followed a "Harvest"-ish album which followed a Crazy-Horse-ish album, and he's talking about how every time he finished an album he thought, "This is IT! I don't know WHAT I was doing before this; that was all crap. THIS is it." I have to watch out for that sometimes with my unfinished stuff. I have thousands of hours of music I've written/recorded that's never seen the light of day, and almost all of it is as good as anything I've ever made public...or it could be, were I to finish it. Some of it would be the best stuff I've ever done; I'm sure, because I tend to get all precious about the unfinished songs that show the MOST promise and end up doing nothing with them. Being able to revisit such stuff is one of my favorite things about recording on analog cassette. On new tunes, I've used tracks that were recorded literally more than half my lifetime ago.
Tattoomom	Date: August 30, 2007 @ 2:16 PM I think my best has already come...
celtaidd	Date: August 30, 2007 @ 3:06 PM Hope so,if it isnt, I'm in trouble
imemine	Date: August 30, 2007 @ 8:48 PM My best came and went and I didn't even know it was ever here!
officernarc	Date: August 31, 2007 @ 1:50 AM i always try to be the best i can.
ShadowMom	Date: August 31, 2007 @ 8:43 AM My best what? Okay, I so totally don't belong in this thread because it assumes you actually DO something. But I do NOTHING very well, perhaps the best I have ever done it. So, with that in mind, I DO belong in this thread.
