It has been 26 days since I last updated this blog. I apologize for the fact that I am incredibly busy and tend to forget that I should talk about my music on here and not just think about it in my head.
So here is what is going on in my music world right now: I am in need of inspiration. I feel like it is all gone. I used to just think of little lines frequently and try to write songs based on them. That doesn’t seem to happen as often anymore.
I can’t seem to figure out a reason for this. I used to write about love and relationships. No more. I no longer feel the need to write about things like that. But what else is there to write? Everything in the music industry is somehow related to a relationship. There are very few songs I can think of off the top of my head- of course, I am a child who was raised on Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Air Supply, and basically every popular 70s band.
I need to rediscover my inspiration. I’m not sure how to accomplish that yet.
Here are my ideas so far:
1) learn how to play the guitar (once my finger heals and I can use it.)
2) start singing a new genre or learn songs in a different language
3) go back to the times when i sang ALL THE TIME.
4) find someone to keep me accountable to writing/singing
5) find somewhere to be in musicals. i miss being onstage, in costume, singing my heart out to the audience.
I’m going to try to do whatever I can to bring the music back into my soul. I think I am going to find that it never really left, but that I have just lost too much joy to notice it anymore. That is going to change. My eternal life should be the only thing I depend on to bring me joy!
