The accolades and lopsided rewards for the ultra-successful overshadow many millions of arguably equally talented and hard-working musicians that lead relatively Spartan lives in comparison. The stereotype of the “starving artist” certainly applies to journeyman musicians as it does to any other creative profession. There are songs out there as beautiful and uplifting as anything the Beatles or Mozart ever created, yet may never have a bigger audience than a few hundred people. What is the karmic “reward” for such music, that suffers only from lack of exposure?

When we create karmic underpinnings, we are impinging on and shaping energy. When one listens to a familiar song that makes them feel good, is that an active and ongoing “karmic shaping” taking place? Is Mozart still earning good karma every time a modern person is swooned by one of his concertos?

We have focused on the karmic ramifications for songwriters, but what about for song listeners? Is listening to enjoyable music a “karmic action” that will build future karmic rewards for the listener?

The Traveling Wilburys was a dream band of former Beatle George Harrison and had some of the biggest names in the modern history of pop music. In the same band, there was arguably the best lyricist (Bob Dylan) with the best vocalist (Roy Orbison) and the best producer (Jeff Lynne). The fact even one of them could find time in their schedule was miraculous, much less all of them. All of them without exception effused about how truly wonderful the whole experience was, how all were friends, how all worked together seamlessly and without friction or jealousy, and how nearly all considered it one of the greatest if not the greatest thing they ever participated in. And these were all ultra-successful musicians—titans of the industry. The first album went triple platinum. It was literally a tsunami of good karma and a miraculous coming together rarely seen in this world. What is Creator’s perspective?
