Do Good Lyrics

The concept of doing good means two different things to me

The first thing is to do good for other people

Your work, the art that you make, should strive to be impactful to others

Whether that is physically, emotionally, or spiritually

Or that it changes the way they perceive the world

It should, in some small way, change their life or their experience of life

I think this is very important

Because if you are making art and not sharing it with the world

You don't set up that feedback loop with others

Your work should be for you, of course

But I think letting your art loose into the world is important

To the creative process

Creating in a vacuum can be dangerous

The second meaning of do good, to me

Is to find your "good enough", to do good work

To always push yourself and try your best

While also keeping in mind

That your best can vary from year to year or even day to day

You should always try to put your best foot forward

And make your most genuine attempt

Because if you don't, you aren't doing that project justice

You're not offering yourself to that project in a way that is necessary

To fulfill the first part of do good

It's so important to put yourself in the work

Because that is what translates into the emotional connection

That happens when somebody else experiences it

So, do good with your work

Make things that impact and move other people

While also trying to preserve your own mental and physical health in the process

Do good and thrive through that
