I spent the vast majority of yesterday and today recording really less than perfect versions of almost all the songs I've finished in the last month or so or at least am happy enough with to call them performable/sharable, whatever. I still have snippets of other songs and quite a few on the back-burner but I've been mesmorized by two in particular that I've been writing lately. One that was written by me last night and the other written by Ryan that I added words to. Both of them are similar in content and feel, while not musically but vocally, but I've hit a dead end on both of them. Its funny because I've had no problem writing these past few months as I've had plenty to write about, but suddenly poof. The stories of both of these songs have a similar feel and both progress to a point where I'm not sure where to go from there.
Maybe I should look at it more biographically? Like hey, that part is finished now and you haven't experienced nor know what you want next in life nor will your song be finished until then. I don't know, because I'm obviously not beyond point A yet but it just appears to me like hmmm I dunno. Maybe these two songs are just different or maybe I'm just distracted by something else. I've noticed myself become a little more distracted in the last few weeks and that's ok,even though I know I'm headed in the wrong direction that leads to no where. Not a bad thing, just a in this particular situation you can already see the end, which is what you always want, is it really worth a minute of feeling better? Maybe I'm just thinking too much. All I know is that I like these two new songs and can't wait to see how they turn out as I continue to polish them all.
In other news, I haven't been thinking about this weekend at all and that's probably a bad thing. I'm visualizing a panic attack here in a few days if I don't get memorizing the new stuff. But at least I know how this rocky slide goes and know how to deal with it.
