Driving lyrics resurface
I decided to start on the solo with piano as my first project. (Tim Hausmann, if for some reason you're reading this, stop now!!).
I'm writing this for my dear friend Tim Hausmann as a Christmas present. The lyrics I set today first happened while I was driving home for Thanksgiving Break. I started with a word map to give myself a direction and some of the lyrics came back to me (I didn't have the scrap of paper from the car with the original lyrics). The song right now looks like the scene of departure, where the hero leaves his family to pursue his destiny. I think I will have to re-write it in a lower key, but I'm currently writing it as it is coming out.
Today I scratched out the melody for about 15 measures, and I stumbled on a pretty cool piano riff. Much to my frustration, I don't have a setup where I can record what I play on the keyboard in real-time. I got the main gist of it down, but I lost a lot of the improvisational momentum in the notation process.
On another note, my first collaborative musical endeavor involved Tim Hausmann. For one song, I wrote the lyrics and he made it into an amazing jazzy song. I can only remember part of the song (it was in high school, and I will post the lyrics later). He did this as a surprise, and I was absolutely ecstatic.
On a final note, this blogging of my progress is well...an emotional mixed bag. I think Immi is right though. My focus gets a lot sharper knowing that someone out there could be reading this and seeing if I'm actually doing something...especially since I put the link on my facebook profile for any random person to see!
Feel free to comment. I will see if it's possible to post clips or other media paraphenalia (when I have something to post).
Peace and love,
megs

Truly, this article is really one of the very best in the history of articles. I am a antique ’Article’ collector and I sometimes read some new articles if I find them interesting. And I found this one pretty fascinating and it should go into my collection. Very good work.
