Five in Five: 3/5

I met my goal for the day. I had to finish the structures and lyrics for two songs by the end of the day yesterday. I made it in good time.

I had to fight not censoring myself. I got to the point with one of the new songs where I thought, "Man, this kind of sucks." But, then, once I started getting into it, it felt pretty good. Lyrics are always the hardest part of a song. Anyone who tells you different is either a liar or Bernie Taupin.

But really, the whole point of this process is to pressure myself to write under a deadline. There might be a few duds in here, but everything seems to make sense. All the songs have a point and a theme to them. I have no idea where these songs will end up, but it seems important to continue to write and continue to create.

Many of the folks on the myspace site have been interested in getting some stuff that "rocks more" from me. I hope this session can fill that need, too. I only touched my acoustic guitar once during this whole process.
