"when it's not enough just to be sorry"
who's up writing and recording at 5:30 again? this guy, right here.
i know that i talked about my three options of songs to record for my next album track, but at about 4 this morning i decided on something completely different (obviously). i dug up a track called "follow me" that i liked but never really fully developed. it has catchy hooks and nearly complete lyrics (at least it has a structure). it's a complex song, though, without a solid chordal structure. so i got out of bed at the said time to play my keys downstairs to try and figure out some chords.
yeah, sleep still isn't coming easy.
i think i've hit a rut. i know it sounds weird, with just three songs to go and all, but i know a rut when i'm in one, i've been in too many not to notice. the funny thing is that i have a half dozen song ideas at my fingertips, but none of them are clicking. it's very frustrating, but if i just stick with it something will surely come. i have a feeling i will not get much work done on "follow me" this morning. but it's better than just sitting around waiting for the perfect ideas. cos really, the perfect ideas never just dawn upon you, do they? you have to be thinking about something really hard and working towards it for a while in order to find what you want.
i guess i just don't know right now. but that's okay, right? i'm just going to take it as it comes right now. roll with the punches, keep going my own way. who knows what will happen. that's actually a good song idea right there... ARG i've got to stop this madness!
this is entry #500, by the way. i hope it didn't suck.
