They only want to be there while you’re on top, and when you haven’t gotten a gig in a while and you don’t know how you’re going to pay your rent at the end of the month and the glamor they thought they signed up for is gone, they’re walking out the door, leaving you to pick up the pieces.

About This Quote

In this quote, the writer is talking about people in the music industry who have a short attention span and only want to be there while you’re on top. But when your career is going through a slow period in which you don’t know how you’re going to pay your rent at the end of the month, they’re walking out the door, leaving you to pick up the pieces. The music industry can be a very tough place to succeed in, and it can be even tougher when you’re trying to make it as an artist. The competition is fierce, and there are plenty of people who don’t care about your career success as long as they get a paycheck. This can be heartbreaking when you’ve put your heart and soul into what you do.
