Track 35: Why do we make music?

What really motivates the music we love? In this episode of Gig and Tell, we dive into the driving forces behind why people make music. From artists using their platform to spark political or social change, to those creating purely for entertainment, passion, or even the pursuit of fame. We explore the different intentions behind songwriting and performance, and how those motivations shape the sound, message, and impact of the music itself. Is music at its most powerful when it has something to say, or when it simply helps us escape? Whether you're in it for the art, the message, or the spotlight, this episode breaks down the many reasons music exists and why it matters. #GigAndTell #MusicPodcast #WhyWeMakeMusic #MusicDiscussion #CreativeProcess #MusicIndustry #Songwriting #Artists #MusicCulture #Entertainment #SocialChange #PodcastUK
