So a few days ago I sent out some demos of Amileigha for a friend to give out. One of the two songs includes me on background vocals. I'm soooooo happy with the sound of the song. Amileigha and I had a conversation last week about writing and recording and we have both decided to make this priority ONE. So we're going to be dedicating at least an hour every practice to writing songs. I'm so pumped about it because it's been so long since I sat down with someone to actually write stuff. I'm super excited to see what caomes out of it. I've already got a few ideas, and I know Amileigha does as well.
Speaking of...Amileigha has been writing stuff like a crazy person! She and Keith (her "guitar teacher") wrote a song about her father (who recently passed) that is truly beautiful. I learned it a couple weeks ago, and hopefully we'll start playing it out in a couple more weeks. She's asked me to sing it until she feels comfortable doing ti herself. I'm honored to be able to sing it until that time comes. Now she tells me she and Keith have started on a new one...man...aren't WE the ones playing together?! Just kidding, I'll take songs any way I can get them. I'm pumped to hear the new one for sure.
So this is all to say that, for the first time in a LONG time, I'm going into full on songwriting mode. I'm gonna somewhat put learning covers on the backburner, and concentrate on creating instead of duplicating. It feels good just to type that...
More to come...
