So true Brian. Some songs fall out of the sky and others, as Tony mentioned, are a slog. I live to write and I write to life live…

I’ve always found that when a moment mirrors, the thing writes itself……………..

As someone who is NOT a prolific songwriter, I offer myself up as exhibit A in evidence of songs not writing themselves. I wrote my first song seven or eight years ago and I am averaging one a year if you add up the ones I have written on my own. If you’ve never truly gotten into the habit of writing songs as a discipline, it’s pretty easy to avoid doing it without feeling too badly about it but having just written a song this week, I’m remembering how good it feels to give life to this thing whose particles were there all along just needing to be united with their neighbors. And because I started writing again I now have that window open so that the creative bug can fly into my house and visit. Thanks for your help, Tony!
