Introduction

Hey,

The Velvet Underground is a rock band, which was formed in NYC. In my openion they were one of the most influental groups of the 60's.

Velvet Underground, that's my pen name. I don't know what moves me about this band, those people and this whole time period. I just think art in every kind of way lived more back then. I think people didn't really care about responsibilities as much as they do today. People lived their dreams.

My dream is to just write, when I feel like writing, to paint, when I feel like painting and to just let my emotions out without having to care about tomorrow or yesterday. I think that's what it's all about. It is about feeling. For me art is about expressing myself.

I think, I pretty much suck at writing, but that's okay. It still feels good to just write, to put emotion in something and to share it. Art is a feeling. For me art, whatever one might consider as such, is very, very important, because it kind of balances all the responsibilities and everything that sometimes gets a little too much in life. And I personally think writing is one of the strongest ways of telling the world your openion, of criticizing, of making a difference and of expressing emotions. I might not be able to do that, but there are people out there who know they could make that difference with the power of their words. They just need to start living their dreams.
