That feeling of having a small case of writers block is back. I hate when this happens. Everything comes to a stand still and nothing new comes out. Today I finished writing a song, yes, and entire song, and now I need to put the icing on the cake, and that is the lyrics. Now sometimes I tend to over think things when it comes to writing. I'm not exactly sure what I should write about, or what I should say, and how. That part always leaves me clueless. Sometimes it just happens, other times it falls flat. Right now it is falling flat, unfortunately. I'm not saying that I am disappointed with t he lyrics that I have currently, I just discovered that what was written today doesn't work with anything that I currently have. I also am considering maybe shortening the song by a repetition in the verse.
Either I need to listen to more music, or get my mind going again and start writing again, like I am doing now. I have noticed that I haven't been listening to much music lately, and when I had spurts of creativity in the past there was music that was influencing me. I will also, along with writing, will be listening to more music. I have been listening to new bands lately, like Bouncing Souls, and Rancid, so one would think something would come out.
Pushing your mind to write when it has hit a road block can re-activate it. That is what I am trying to do. I just wish I really had something to talk about. I learned something recently, and want to write about that, but I am focused on this song first. The story behind what I want to write is very real. Sometimes I bend the truth, but in every set of lyrics that I write or sing there is some grains of truth, some more than others. Everything, however, is written straight from the heart. When you are not feeling anything, I guess things are kind of bland, and maybe this writers block is good, because that means the lyrics could possibly be bland. This song is most definitely not a bland song. It has a good hook, and could very well be a good single. So I just need to write, or just feel something.
Class starts up again soon, so that might lead to things happening. Seeing new things, and such can get my mind going. Lets see where this will take me....-SS
