>>7320 >Words and images are also part of what an artist presents to the world. exactly. Keep in mind that you cannot exactly tell and apply the realistic perspective to it. It has to be judged case by case but if you don´t have any reference to keep track of his personal life. So said productions remains impersonal or even transmit the exact opposite of what he is going through.
I just personally disagree with the mindset of everything being taken as emotional purity of his thoughts. The feelings transmitted in the works are left on their own, just a piece inside the creativity of his mind. Nothing else.
>But so seldom do songwriters take the time to write a poem, or short story to be read as part of the song. It needn't be the thing the artist experienced directly, but they say in writing, "write what you know" >Thus I assume that Radiarc is, indeed, going through some personal issues and letting us see a glimpse through their music.
watch out with that assumption. In literature, anything could turn out to be a lie. How do I put this? What the author pulls off in his creative outputs, you don´t know which parts are either actually true or not. The author can perfectly play with the minds of the public, it´s literally /b/ in a creative work. You could assume this interpretation and despite the reasoning, find yourself with the wrong theory. On top of that, poetry even intensifies that distortion. Poets are some of the greatest liars that you could ever imagine. All that you can find throughout their words are lies and people love to be lied....which is absolutely fine at the end of the day.
So, am I saying that Radiarc should be having a low self esteem period in his life where he expresses his actual sadness/uncertainties? Not necessarily. Robert Smith (The Cure) in 1989, composed Disintegration and he wasn´t living a bad life in comparison with what he went through in the early 80s with the goth trilogy. In fact, he got married and lived happy moments while creating that album.
He just took the inspiration of the burning that happened in a studio (it doesn´t mean that he is not sincere about his fears/concerns about not feeling anything strong after reaching his 30s though). Smashing Pumpkins, more of the same, they deliver the image of an edgy band in front of everyone but at some point in their career, it didn´t match with their lifestyles at all.. and they admitted this in the interviews.
