Writing Songs

January 3, 2023

Back in January of last year when this picture was taken, I was doing a little songwriting into the wee hours of the morning. I had the beginnings to four songs in that binder behind me: one in the key of D major, one in A, one in C, and my first attempt at 6/8 time.

In 2021, in the first week of January, I wrote “Turmoil” and “Weep” which have since been released and made into lyric videos.

While I realize I can compose any month of the year, January seems to be the most productive for me for some reason, so for the past three days, I have been working (yes, all hours of the night) in this binder again, organizing my music.

The “songs”—some of them are 4 measures long so far and some are 8 pages—are starting to pile up. I believe there are 12 of them.

Since we’re already three days into the month, I guess I better get my bahookie in gear and start finishing them.
