Well I used to feel the same way. More or less...
Making music didn't seem like a creative process anymore. Not sure why but my perspective changed. Over the years anyway.

I think it's all down to something competitive within ourselves. when what we do no longer seems unique (or not as important and significant as we would like it to be...) it tends to lead to some type of a creative depression. Not trying to get too philosophical here.

But show business is a show business is a show business...
Good music has always been complemented by a good show and vice versa. THink of it. When you go to a club do you just go there to listen to loud music? Well no, there's booze, friends, lightshows and this dreadful noise of subwoofers and unrecognizable sounds (distorted beyond belief) preventing you from having a good conversation.

LOL

PS
Wasn't there a saying that talent alone doesn't guarantee success?
