The trouble with songwriting is that if you’re doing it right, every song is different. In fact, you should be conscious that this song can’t be the same or even somewhat like the last song. You can be a little too conscious of that sometimes, like now for me, and every chord is speculated upon. Every word is over analyzed.
Joe came over last night, and we literally cranked out our Rock n Roll All Night and Party Every Day song in about 30 minutes. There wasn’t a whole lot of thought put into it, much like Kiss I’m sure. Joe just said he had an idea for a song, and before you know it we were done.
I feel like I have a lot of things I want to say, but at the same time I don’t want to say them. It’s a conundrum for sure, and has ground me to a halt as far as stuff I want to do away from Ovada. I’ve got volumes of music, but no words.
The obvious choice is to simplify things a bit and quit worrying so much. Perhaps even to write a song about not being able to write again. It’s worked sometimes in the past. I don’t know, it’s just that when you write a song without much thought it is just like a drug. A high that you don’t want to come down from. But you always do.
