Right when I started to record today, I realized I forgot my mic wires at school. I wasn't that disappointed, though. My plan B was to write my last song, which is exciting because I have written in forever. I listened to Tim Buckley's Sing a Song for You, which inspired me. I like the lyrics in that one, and sometimes, one good song is all I need to get myself back into action.

Another reason that I'm dying to write is that my project is starting to feel old. These songs were written at least one month ago, and they've been sitting around waiting to be recorded. I know recording old songs isn't a big issue; everyone does it all the time. But I feel sort of detached from the work. Songwriting is still relatively new to me, and I think as a songwriter in this early stage, I'm blooming and growing exponentially. I'm moving through different things quickly, and thus, I'm progressing at a fast pace. The songs I wrote a month ago made sense to me and I loved them, but I feel like they're sort of fading away now. I remember I was watching this Radiohead documentary and Thom Yorke said something about how after he's done with an album, the work isn't his anymore. Since he's lost the emotion captured in those songs, after he makes the songs, they're someone else's, like the listener's. I don't really agree with this 100%, but I have a sense of what he might be talking about.
