The Space.
This is where I’ve been working on new songs, where I can focus on lyrics and melodies in a private space.
This is where I’ve been working on new songs, where I can focus on lyrics and melodies in a private space.
While I write with inspiring musical collaborators, doing my part with another human in the room just doesn& #39;t work as well as being alone. Here I experiment and play with words, their sounds and how they fuse with the music. ⠀
Making records is possibly the wildest and hardest alley of word and thought creations. The form is super short, and you have the music as the biggest ingredient to entwine the words with.
But it’s not just the melodies and chords that need to accept the words, it’s also the voice singing that needs to accept the words. ⠀
This is the room where I can play, try, focus, try, laugh at myself, laugh at life, hear the echoes of every phrase I’ve ever heard, deal with the little beasts they’ve laid inside.
Phrases like ‘it’s not your first language, that’s the problem’ or even ‘You’re one of the greats’ both extremes aren’t helpful.⠀
How does it finally happen? It seems to work when time has disappeared and you’ve been gripped by intense interest for hours. That’s the vague memory of it. And not remembering those moments means with every new song, you have to start creating from scratch every time. ⠀
But don& #39;t the fastest spreading linguistic creations deserve the same hard grind as the other word making forms? I think they do.⠀
Thankfully I love this work, this room, window and sky. ⠀
