The difference a day (or two or...) makes

A few days ago I posted a piece I'm writing in order to share my process a bit. That clip of The Way I Feel was new as of the night posted, and as I've been back to it a number of times in this short time in-between, I thought I'd share it's latest development. A rarity for me is to be writing the lyrics with each new measure (or 4) in unison to the music, and I'm excited that this is happening with this new track. It usually means that it will be a short period from initial melody to completed song, and I really welcome when that happens. Makes one feel productive.

Let me know what you think so far!

What are you doing tonight?

Tonight I am enjoying the moments that allows me to fulfill (with acknowledged greed) the passions of me. That is, to simply, in simplicity, compose.
I feel most fortunate to have grasped this current upswing of new creative energy and material. During the null times, time passes far too slowly and so I have learned to finally recognize when "something new" is on my mind. It is with humble exhale I play through tonight, and am taking advantage of this new found creativity. Oh yes, yes, yes.

Although I often write alone, as solo artists often do, I find companionship of the process through sharing, and so I would like to share with you something I am currently working on, that sits comfortably within the spectrum of sounds I find soothing to my ears. Without words yet (this sound is only a couple hours old,) but with (as I believe) a clear direction of mood, this is "The Way I Feel" or so the working-title currently goes.

Muah my friends!

Thank you

So close... almost there.. I never dreamed, throughout my life, that passion could become existence.

I've learned that when you accept the sacrifices of life that will allow you to survive, yet provide you with the opportunities to seek, explore, and live the passions that drive you; how can you possibly say no to all the moments that will grant you that journey? I do feel reborn, youthful, and overflowing with zest lately, despite the constant internal pressure to complete this first album, a video for "Your Song" which thankfully is ever closer now to completion, and an ever present "Come on" that drills into and echos throughout my mind to make this all known and become known for it. A daunting imagination this, the desire to share your innermost moments through song and sound to the people around you, and to those around them. I often feel that time is against me, but it is only in this catalyst to introspection that I've realized the priceless values and knowledge learned from each relationship, interaction and experience I've lived, that do in-fact provide me with the very words and music that is true and real to me. So I desire to share through these talents I've mustered, all that I can in my world of music.

The last songs to complete this current train of thought, that will also make album number one a complete and a coherent sound, are right now having lyrics written to them, with vocals at the ready and many current attempts now behind. The stepping stones to those "ah-ha" moments I feel when I know I'm every closer to singing the final words. These "right words" now just need to sound, well, right to me as they come out in pitch and tone. Through this process I have also begun a number of songs that will follow the first album, to tell the stories of what's next, and will hopefully be able to share them without delay once this project is completed.

To all of you that support, listen, share the emotions, find your own meanings to relate and are walking this journey with me, you are the reasons I share these songs. I hope you will keep listening and I will do my best to keep sharing and writing.

Thank you.
