The What…?
Have you ever heard a song you really dug and wondered how somebody ever even managed to come up with that amazing piece of music? Well, as it is in most creative endeavors; being able to “let it come” to you, ends up being just as (if not more) important than learning the mechanics of the craft, itself. I believe that the art and craft of songwriting is not only a joy, a release, a chronicling of the times, a counseling session and a communion with Creator, but also, I believe songwriting is a great teacher. A teacher because there are countless parallels which come in the actual act of songwriting that compare, in an uncanny manner, to that which comes in the actual act of living life. And so, songwriting becomes an endless stream of: life imitates art imitates life imitates art imitates life….
The Why….?
Reach out and give me a holler and we can chat about capturing unseen energy from the implicate order and wrapping it up in the package of a song to be delivered to those who might not otherwise be able to access such an energy. Or mayhaps we can discuss the brutal honesty which MUST come when executing a genuinely creative act. We could grapple with how to find the necessary mindset that merges the art of “letting it come” along with the craft of applying the practical, mechanical steps necessary in order to create something tangible. We could discuss how writing about an experience one is having absolutely requires a certain amount of objectivity that otherwise would never occur, if one were merely living out that experience WITHOUT the act of writing about it. Or maybe you and your audience would enjoy discussing how - whether it’s messages from angels, invisible team members, historical figures or direct relays from The Divine - music acts as one of the finest mediums I have found in this reality construct with which to communicate to all life. The topics are endless because after all, writing songs is, often enough, simply about making commentary on all of what goes on in the living of life…
