I’m excited to have a few weeks off at home for the first time in several months. Usually I can’t get much writing done on the road because im never sitting still and by the time I got home earlier this week I guess I was just full of things to write about because it all started pouring out these last few days. Usually I get about a day of jibber jabber before anything worth keeping starts to take shape. I had a couple choruses-well actually a lot of choruses -sitting around with no verses to them, bits I’ve piled up over the last year in between tours. I almost always write choruses first so hence the pile. When I wrote for Bound to Love I gave myself a clear objective, which was: if I could see a light in the situation I was writing about, I would focus on that, make it uplifting. It’s funny now to be in the position of creating an objective again, ie, starting to form a vision for the next album (if people still make albums?) or let’s just say the next group of songs. Sticking with uplifting so far. It just feels better. This way if people hate it, at least I felt good doing it! Being angsty and then having your work not liked sounds like too much to bear.
