It has been a very productive few months. It would appear that the muse has decided to come back and join me again. In the past two months 5 songs have either been completed, or nearly completed.
For the first time in ages I have written using free writes. Where I just write down an the unconscious stream of words, phrases, images, that come to the top of the memory stack. Once the free write is complete I then start structuring the prose into possible verses, decide on the number of lines per verse and if there is an obvious chorus or bridge.
I have never written quite as fluently as this and the results are coming along nicely. They include a song about people watching, an anonymous victim of the serial killer Ted Bundy and a profile of a person I met a year ago.
I have also tidied up several older songs, including one about the effects of Alzheimer's on my mother, and how as a family we are losing a little more of her every day.
As soon as I get a chance to record some demos I will post a link to them here.
