No Public (with music)

Liner Notes

I was inspired to write this after reading a quote by Cyril Connolly; "Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self". This is a reflection on that quote. I wrote this piece quite quickly, in about 10 minutes.

This was recorded on my phone on the 22nd of August 2024. This was done in one take. I sang and played piano.

Lyrics

Better to write for yourself and have no public
Than to write for the public and have no self

My songs have no comments
My videos have no views
My tweets get 0 likes
My mailbox has no news
But I don't care

I am free to express myself
That's fine at the end of the day
As long as I like it
It doesn't matter what you say

No public
No public

I write what I wish
Work served on a dish
Just food for thought
Here's some advice I've sought

So we continue to say

No public
No public
