When I was 7 or 8 years old I wrote my first song. A few years ago, I came across the one and only tape where I can actually listen to myself singing it.
As years passed by, I kept on writing songs. See, for me, writing songs or poems has always been cathartic. Every song I wrote was a demon I killed from within. Maybe I’ll never understand it.
I must confess that feeling miserable helped, and it helped a lot. I guess I just spent so many years feeling sorry for myself, that let’s say I was truly inspired.
A few days ago, someone said that if life or love didn’t suck, there wouldn’t be such great songs in the world.
I’m over 30 now, and to tell you the truth I haven’t been able to write a single song for the past couple of years. It turns out, that I’m happy. Oh I know I’m a crappy songwriter, but I just don’t like my “happy” songs.
I know that if I wanted to keep on writing songs, I would just have to go to that dark place, but would it be worth it? Would I be willing to awake the demons within?
ok, so i was tryin' to comment about this yesterday but i couldn't cuz i had any account at google :P but i created one.. what i wanted to say was that you should keep on writtin' no matter what, happy songs are cool! or i think you'd be a perfect synical-sarcastic songwritter! :D.. no need to go back to that dark place to keep on writtin'! :D
