My First.
Posted December 1, 2005
It's December 2005 and it's been two years since I've recorded anything new. This is disheartening. But then, so much has happened in the last two years. Perhaps all the overwhelming changes--moving across the country, pursuing my first real relationship, and going back to school to finish my bachelor's--simply made it too difficult to sit down and write something new. I mean, I've written a couple new things, but nothing worth mentioning or sharing.
I haven't been interested in New Year's resolutions since the sixth grade, but maybe this year, I can make an exception. This year, I'm going to give myself permission to write music. I feel like I've been restricting myself to photography, writing and painting and I need to allow myself to explore my songwriting again.
Also, I'm delving into some innovative vocal work. I'm listening to singers different than what I typically listen to. I'm exploring the jazz realm. A friend of mine told me I could sing jazz if I wanted and that really appealed to me. So I'm going to see how that influence can benefit my sound and writing skills.
Anyway. That's all for now.
