There you go, the song I was referring to in my latest post (below), now she's up. Decided to call her "A calm wave"
One of the quickest songs I've written. And I think... her structure is done. Even lyrics. Some songs just happen to show their own identity in a very direct way, this is what makes me believe that yes, I'm not the sole creator of this little creature.
If we look at the arrangement, sure, there are a few adjustments I'd like to do. Nothing major, a little note here and there. In time, girl, in time. I am pursuing to get these first recordings to get a little company from other instruments. One day, not too far away (got to get that ass moving)
I do believe that every song contains a multitude of stories, just depends on how you look (hrm, listen?) at it. But the theme here, if you were wondering (maybe you weren't and you find this to be totally self-involved but hey it's my little space on the web, right? such a little office chair of power), the theme is how we all can be a little torn, and broken deep down. That we might carry open wounds that have a hard time healing. Even though it might not show.

Being the architect
So, a structure has been born, chords and melody. Now, only words are missing.
But then of course, this is the toughest part. I think my core issue here is that I have this tendency to but myself out of emotion. Putting distance between myself and the words I'm singing - and what does that do? Well, the feeling goes missing. And what are we trying to put out there? Well, a feeling.
If I don't believe what I'm telling, you can see the same in plays and in sales, then the song will fall flat.
New theory. I think I have to put myself in someone elses shoes. And really go there, to the thoughts none of us like to dwell in. You know, the thoughts that come out at night anyhow.
In "piece by piece", they talk about how a song holds more than one story. Always more than one story. I often change perspectives in songs - maybe I have to go deeper in one story, get really dirty in the reality I'd like to ignore.
The feeling of pain is the same, and even though every story is different from the other the themes and the hurt is universal. I think I really have start hurting, we all have those memories don’t we?
This all might sound abstract; I hope you get it when the song is posted.
Love to all of you
