POSTED BY SCARLETTA ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE:
A friend shared this on my personal page and it hit so close to home I had to share with all the Scarletta fans. PLEASE take a minute to read it...Every word of this is true, and is why I (and Benji and Aubs) do what we do. It's for that moment of PURE MAGIC we feel when one of our songs touches a life, when a fan tells us a story of how one of our lyrics helped them through a tough day, or when coming to one of our shows made them forget their troubles for a night. THIS is why we are musicians. -Nayte
“Singers and Musicians are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Every day, they face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that they'll never work again. Every day, they have to ignore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe dream. With every note, they stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking criticism and judgment. With every passing year, many of them watch as the other people their age achieve the predictable milestones of normal life - the car, the family, the house, the nest egg. Why? Because musicians and singers are willing to give their entire lives to a moment - to that melody, that lyric, that chord, or that interpretation that will stir the audience's soul. Singers and Musicians are beings who have tasted life's nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched another's heart. In that instant, they were as close to magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes.” - David Ackert, LA Times
