A New Song
It's funny how things are always changing. And yet they never really change. It isn't things that change, it's us. We move on.
I used to write a lot of songs and make videos for them. But over the last year or so I just haven't been inspired. I've made some wee bits and pieces of music and put them up onto YouTube. But no songs.
A few weeks ago I saw this video from my good YouTube buddy HelloRodney.
And a song popped into my head.
I wrote it in a few minutes, and realised almost at once that I had unwittingly reused an old chord sequence. Oh well. Inspiration seemed to be repeating itself.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed having the song around. I sang it several times a day until it became something like a companion. I didn't care that it was unoriginal.
I considered recording it, but the time never seemed right. Then last night something clicked and I knew I had to get the thing down and sorted.
I started recording at 8pm and the upload to YouTube was complete at 4am. I honestly could not say where the time went.
I'm happy to see the thing finished, and I could never have predicted how it would turn out.
But this morning I woke up missing my song. Now it isn't really mine any more!
