Inspiration is… a thing.
I don’t even know a relevant metaphor to explain the creature that is inspiration.Some people have a creative process when it comes to song writing, I am not at the point yet.
I start with lyric. mainly because I get little annoying bits of songs stuck in my head and then I have to write them down or I will go insane.
Then, it’s arranging and recording, and mixing, and mastering and all the lovely fun stuff that makes the whole thing a lot more difficult.
But that initial spark of an idea, is just so elusive. I can go months on end, writing in my planner daily a reminder to song write. And I will have no ideas for anything.
Then randomly I will have eighteen little bits of songs floating around in my head. This makes my head a weird place to be. I want to write, but I also want to do these little bits of songs justice, and like what if whatever song I would come up with right now doesn’t do it justice?
Logically, I know that I do these song bits more justice by writing them down someone and trying to put them in a song, then just letting them fade from my memory. But my emotions are rarely logical.
So then I sit down to write and I have to spend like a hour getting distracted by the internet first, before I can actually write anything.
And then I write some songs and I feel good. But I am still like do, I use this idea now? Or does it wait?
The self doubt that is a part of the creative process is insane. But, I have created a thing or two in my 19 years, and I know that it always ends up being worth it
