Twists and Turns

If it’s all a Straight Line…

Where is the fun? This song is part of my FAWM 2010 experience, which I am really enjoying and finding particularly challenging.

I am starting to find my feet as a songwriter I believe. Although I think many of my earlier songs are better than many of my more recent ones I am still confident I am improving and that it is a sign of me moving into new creative territory .

This one song a fair chunk of ad-lib lyrics. I had the first verse written down and the chorus. Verse 2 is what came out on the first take. This year’s FAWM songwriting challenge is really getting me into a different area of creativity: Namely one that is seeing me create songs in a very short space of time and making me realize that if I just have faith that something will come out of my mouth worth keeping then it does.

Now I’ve got to practice that faith in my lyrical abilities becoming more diverse and versatile to different subject matter because I seem to be unable to write a song without philosophizing!

Not that I’m complaining though.
