WRITING A SONG (FOR REAL)

I have always written lyrics in my notes app. I have never really taken them seriously though. With that said, I have just written a song with my guitar and built it by singing it out loud. I haven’t felt this creatively fulfilled in a while. It’s not a full song yet but it’s a solid chunk. It’ll probably never be heard by anyone but me but I feel so free right now. Even if you think you’re bad at singing or bad at guitar, if you want to write a song, go and do it.

The curtain

I'm part of a songwriting group that meets monthly and presents recorded songs. Last Sunday it was proposed that we could share what we're currently working on more frequently (in a shared drive). Tried this for a few days and am more secure than ever in the belief that it is more fun preserving some mystique around what you're doing, saving exhibition for the final product (or at least a product that is emphatically a song and not scraps), and not letting people see behind the curtain!!

Writing an entirely new set of songs for a show thats less than 3 weeks away

This is really great because it forces you to finish things and not be a perfectionist about it!

Meet your friends where they’re at

i have friends for coffee, friends for late nights on the town, friends for smoking weed and playing smash bros, friends for long walks, friends for long talks it’s not that i compartmentalise, it’s just that i meet my friends where they’re at, and that seems to work for us

Going to bed early

Honestly the best feeling I like to read a bit and unwind for the day then crash before 9:30 I embrace the nana in me

do more things on your own

Go to the gig. Dance by yourself. Maybe you’ll make a friend, but not having someone there with you shouldn’t stop you from enjoying good music and connecting with an artist you love. Stand in the front. No one behind you matters. The night is yours, if you take it. Go to the movies alone. Go to cafes alone. Take yourself out on dates. Go to the bookshop and buy something pretentious and wanky. Sit in a crowded bar reading about Sylvia Plath’s fig tree or Plato’s Cave. Don’t believe that you need to be holding someone’s hand to enjoy the sunset. The sunset is just as golden when you drink it in alone.
