I'm with you, man! I LOVE stopping to notice sunsets, stars, cloud formations, waves on the ocean, etc....I think I like sunrise better than sunset, but I'm not often up early enough to see them.
To address the original subject: I'm VERY happy, I'd say 95% of the time. Having chosen music as a career (some might say music chooses YOU...and I often agree with that), I've had a largely happy and adventurous life. I'm doing my favorite thing in the world (...OK, it's my 2ND favorite thing!
) for a living, so what's to be sad about?
Even at its worst, at least it's never boring!
I play music, travel, meet people, and I've seen places I might never have seen and done things I might never have done if I were working a "9-to-5". It's not always easy...the money isn't exactly consistent or great, and there's the obvious inconveniences associated with living your life out of a suitcase...the future of your career is always FAR from certain, and the overall state of the music business seems to be on a never-ending downward slope...you miss friends and family at home, of course...and being confined to a vehicle for hours at a time every day with the same 5 smelly guys can start to suck...But the time onstage every night makes it all SO worth it. It's a good life.
