I've been thinking a lot about it today.
It's been quite prevalent today.
So, why not blog about it?
Music.
It moves us. It changes how we feel.
It inspires us. It challenges us.
It's an integral part of the lives of many.
And it's ridiculously hard to explain.
Today, I played my new bass for the first time.
I pulled out my guitar as well, and mucked around on that.
I heard numerous new songs and artists today.
I spoke about it to numerous friends.
Yet, I didn't even begin to scratch the surface on what music really is.
Something that has been on the edge of my mind lots recently is songwriting.
I spoke about it to friends today, and I've frequently thought about it.
I have this belief that I can't write songs.
To be honest, I've never really tried.
I've always had the "I wouldn't be good at it" or the "I wouldn't know what to write about" excuse.
And even now, laying here, I wouldn't have a clue what to write a song about.
But now I want to try it.
I want to see what it's like to piece together lyrics.
To attach them to some chords, or a riff.
To see how they go together.
And if it fits together well, I want to be able to play it.
Not necessarily show it to other people.
But to sit down, by myself, and just play my song.
That I made.
I imagine it would be among the best feelings in the world.
I also imagine it would be an extremely personal thing to do.
Writing a song, especially if it's about yourself.
Or your life.
I have so much respect for those who write it.
Even more for those who share it.
Music...
So hard to explain.
So easy to love.
So inspirational...
