All I want to do at the moment is write music, but I'm not finding the time. I have a lot of study to do and other committments. Stupid responsibilities. I could quite happily be a full time muso. Sure I'd be poor, but you know, it'd be all good. I'm so inspired at the moment. And I'm really enjoying the Missy Higgins DVD I bought a couple of weeks ago. Lots of inspiration from her. And Ingi & I are going to see Missy, Ben Lee and others in concert in a couple of weeks! YAY!!! And we have a gig coming up next week! WHOO!!! We'll be doing all originals! Come see us! Music is such an all consuming thing for me. I go through various spurts, and right now is a rather intense one of only wanting to play and sing and forsake everything else. But I am trying to keep a healthy balance. Trying.
And Orby, thankfully NOT!!! He sure was odd!
Missy Higgins is like Dr. Pepper, either you think she's sliced bread, or you want her to die slowly.
And I'd say Naruto is great, but it's up and down. There are long stretches where Miyazaki's films are easily better, but Naruto's peaks are Hands-down City. I guess that's what you get from years of character progression though, works differently to film - you'd know about that
I tent to write songs by writing the chords first, then the lyrics, then singing them to any tune that fits with the chords. Lots of trial and error. I really enjoy writing music, but I find it incredibly difficult. All asepcts of it. It's strange that I like something that I find so hard. Writing lyrics is so hard!!!
Writing in all forms in a very complicated and trying art form.
