My first song

A couple weeks ago I hopped over to Warrensburg to start writing my first song with Sarah. I think what surprised me the most about songwriting is how weird it feels. I lack instrumental talent (which is something I would like to remedy some day soon) so writing would be impossible by myself. Thankfully, I have Sarah to assist. She is becoming a super hero of sorts in my life because of her endless support and brilliant ideas. 
It doesn't matter what time of day, I've already got my first song stuck in my head and it's not even finished.
I already sang to one of my best friends for an opinion (and just because I was sooo excited!)

Songwriting is random. It happens at the most ridiculous times.
As I'm driving down the street a phrase will pop into my head, and it'll stick until I get to a place where I can write it down... and then I'll lose it. I think it's time I get a notepad to keep in my purse, at least something to record my own voice. 

Songwriting is challenging. I think I struggle with it because it makes me think. I have to see an idea, try to describe it, and make it sound pretty. I think I like it so much because it is challenging. I think this is why it's what I love to do. 

Well, that was probably the most weird, and boring blog post I've written... Enjoy my weirdness.

LOL, you're hilarious. Thanks for the shout out! We can walk this weird road together for a time when we no longer need each other. I'm glad we do now, though. Now is a lovely time.
