Writing What You HAVE to Write

Sometimes there is no reason behind a song you write.

I don't mean there's nothing behind the lyrics or the inspiration for the song, I just mean it may never be a song that is meant for any kind of recognition, fame, or even sharing.

That may sound strange, but sometimes I think we all put too much expectations on the songs we write, paintings we paint, blogs we blog, or anything we create. We do it and wonder, "I can't wait to see what THIS does!"

Left to My Own Devices

This is the first private blog in a while, although I guess all my blogs are my personal thoughts (much to many of your chagrins!).

After a crazy busy first quarter, with more artists and projects signing on every day, I decided to take my lovely wife and head south for a week of relaxation, songwriting, and general staring into the ocean abyss mindlessly.

There is nothing like the endless crashing of the waves, as you can see here from our patio, to clean out your ears from months of continuous music tracking, editing, and mixing.
