Incomplete yet inspiring!
I just spent about half an hour trying to hone a melody in my mind. I started with a couple of chord combinations and I thought I was making progress and then boom! ..I lost it. I couldnt progress further and then suddenly eveything I worked on for the last laf hour sounded real bad.
Welcome to the musicians` life. Ups and Downs and a whole lot of writing block. I started wondering how many times that happened to me and as that thought occured to me I realised it has been this way ever since I can remember writing my first song back in 1997.
No wonder musicans get the bi-polar complex really easy – either way high or down below, but I thank God for my family – the fun family weekends and my work keeps me up and about. Keeps the Bi-polar in check, I am then reminded that ” Its just a tune – it will sound better with time”. Yea! nothing but time.
Do you remember the scene in Tenacious D – Pick of destiny when Jack Black has this mental block thing, when he had Kyle step into the pentagram drawn on the floor.. Haha! Yea .. That happens to all of us I guess.
Hope something comes up soon, till then I have the main melody singing in the back of my mind. Incomplete yet inspiring!
