030911 -- How Early Can We Go?
Last night I had a dream that, among Pokemon related things (which were awesome), included the fact that I was living in New York City. My family came to visit me, and for some odd reason, my dad was really surprised that I was there. I don't know, maybe he never got the message that I moved or something.
I get the feeling that maybe I haven't fully understood it yet when it comes to writing music. I know I'm not writing for just myself in my basement anymore, and I've actually been writing *to* people as part of Almond Dust's "What's Your Story Morning Glory" theme, but I also have to write in a way that everybody else will understand. Do you know how hard that is? To find a universal message that everybody gets? It's so hard for me to get wrapped up in the music of the song, to think, "Okay, all the notes go together correctly, it's finished," and to nearly completely forget the lyrics. This is why I want to write with people. But then again, I've got ownership issues with music, I suppose. There was an instance one time back in high school where my mom told me not to let anybody have my music, because they would then take it and copyright it for themselves.
I need to take down that nice brick wall around my music. People can't hear me if I have it up like this.
I'm going somewhere new
And it's no thanks to you
