I played guitar tonight in front of people for the first time in at least six months. I can't believe that I don't do that more often as it is simply the most fulfilling thing I've done in my life. Oddly, it is mostly for me.
Compliments on my songwriting still amaze me. I can't believe that people enjoy something that I created. I try so hard to write good songs because I know that there is a lot of garbage out there. Music that either is great musically, great lyrically, one or the other, or both. And I want to write pieces that are both. I don't wanna be another person putting out worthless music. I want to be to someone what songwriters I look up to are to me. Inspiration.
I've recently stated my opinion on blogging. It's something that I had a knack for back in the day. I had something to say - at least I thought that I did. But I feel so empty right now; answerless. What I have to say isn't important or knowledgeable. It's just something I think for a brief moment. Maybe that's alright.
The new albums by Death Cab For Cutie and Coldplay have come out and both are great. Death Cabs is simply amazing. Benjamin Gibbard's lyrics cease to amaze and inspire me. The stories that he tells in three to five minutes beautifully detail feelings of imperfection in human nature. They're so honest.
Coldplay's album is very good as well. There's something very different about it from their previous albums. I still haven't gotten to know it as well as DCFC's new one, but I'm enjoying it more and more.
Anyway, I'm up this late because I'm working on a video for camp. So I need to get to work.
