It finally has a title...
Huh. Who would have thought? The album finally has its title, and let me tell you, it took many scraps of paper to come up with the perfect one. Although, I think the real clincher was during a conversation with my brother and my husband. We were talking about "Fly To Heaven" and got on the subject of angels. Angels=wings. Angels=love and hope. And so the title "Wings Of Hope" came to be. The forthcoming CD is officially "Wings Of Hope".
So I'm (well, Shane's here with me, but he's off wandering in town at the moment) in the Netherlands right now. I'm here for almost a week, teaching four seminars on how to survive in the music industry. I'm excited to teach people about surviving this business, even though there will be struggles. Through struggles comes strength, and through strength comes fulfillment. I look forward to teaching these ideas this week, along with how to put together a demo package and get things distributed. Key thing? Networking, baby. ;)
There's someone I miss talking to, and I need to get ahold of him. Soon.
Every day, I feel like it is a new beginning for me. New things, new music, new loves. One thing stays constant, and that is with whom my heart lies.
I've had the lyrics to John Mayer's "Comfortable" in my head as of late. And it's true, the love I have is just so--familiar, comforting, comfortable. I love it. I've apparently been on a John Mayer kick lately as well. I found myself scribbling lines down from his songs in my notebook the other evening when Shane and I were having a quiet night at home. I was lying on the carpet, scribbling lyrics and doodling little hearts and stars (cough), and the music just hit me. Hard. I'm not sure what that means, really, but I think it boosted some sort of creativity inside me, and I scribbled for the rest of the evening, a glass of wine nearby, and love and song in my heart.
And the real purpose of this entry is to say happpy birthday to my darling brother. I love you, honey. So very, very much.
Off now to find Shane and food.
