Nothin's gonna change my world

I still haven't written my magnum opus. I mean, yeah, Sunshine Days is great, and epic, and it's not a love song but rather a song about trying to be a good person, no matter what, and the music to it is complicated in a modest way yet catchy and hummable. But I still feel the need to one up that number, just like I always have to up the ante on most songs that I care about.

I wanted to write a song tonight. I have a little musical inspiration. I was just lying in my two person couch in my room and I looked at the only poster on the wall, staring at the image of Jude and Lucy within the strawberry, and I started singing the chorus to Across the Universe, and decided I really wanted to write a slightly abstract song about life in general, but I couldn't even get a fucking line. It's extremely frustrating, because I know what emotions and what message I want to evoke, but I haven't the foggiest on how to execute that, how to describe it, the presentation...

You ever write out a lot of exposition in this thing and then delete it all because you decided you didn't want the world to know what's on your mind, even when you really do? Yeah, I know, I'm fucking insane.

Really, though, right now there are only two things that really suck in my life that I can think of right now. I'm sure other things'll crop up, but only two things I'm going steady with at the moment.

Don't fret it none.

zephyr, music
