I'd Rather Go Blind

For every three or four songs that I write, I write one for me, in my voice. Even as it comes together, I am already putting it in a special place. So now there is this collection of songs that have no itinerary. The hope is that in the future, I will be able to say, "Oh, I have the perfect song for that!".

I am in a place right now where I am unable to hear the music to the songs... and that rarely happens. Usually the trick is getting it out the way it is in your head.  In this case I can hear the melody of the lyrics but not the accompaniment, which is half of the damned story!

Sigh... instead of going so long blocked up, I am going to look up writing exercises to keep up my momentum. Ok, I REALLY don't want to, but I promised that I would try it...

Sometimes I think it's more being afraid of what's inside, waiting to come out... not being ready for it...
