new music on the way…

Working on debut album for years it seems…

7/31/22

I have been a songwriter for over a decade now. when I listen back to the first stuff I wrote it makes me cringe, but every great writer started with the cringe period. the key has always been to learn with each and every song. find what works and run with it. don’t dwell on the mistakes or the perceived garbage that inevitably comes out. instead realize that this is all part of the learning process, and it is a vital part at that.

Lately i’ve been spending a lot of time working on new songs, new melodies, new lyrics… but it never ends up sounding like it should. My ears and my fingers never seem to be able to reproduce what is in my head, so the perfectionist in me never finishes the songs. There’s a definite case of imposter syndrome when I start to get deep into the writing/recording part of the process. don’t get me wrong, I love making this stuff. there is no better feeling than stumbling on something that has massive potential and then seeing it through to fruition. I just can’t seem to make it to the finish line on 90% of the stuff i’m writing.

Having said all that, I fully plan on getting something out here I the next little bit. I wish I could say that it’ll be next week, or next month, or so on… but the truth is I don’t know when inspiration will strike and i’ll be able to get it done.

Patience is key.
