No melody
No complete lyrics.
But a beautiful chance to co-write… with YOU!

Fill in the blanks…

The sun has fallen, sinking deep.
The world is falling fast asleep.
Close your eyes & you will dream
Of waterfalls & bubbly streams.

The night is waiting, blanketing
with subtle hues and coloring.
If you sleep now, you will dream
of fireflies and dancing trees.

Tomorrow bears the weight of day
but night is light with shades of gray.
If you rest, then you will dream
of fairy tales and (1)——-

We sleep to chase the world away
when nothing brings us (2)——-
The day is better when you dream
of (3)—— and (4)——–

“seeming to do” something

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing. ~Thomas Edison

At this time in my life, I’m working towards the purpose of becoming a better songwriter… Much of my time and energy is devoted to this goal. Streamlined.

What about you? What’s your purpose right now?

I don’t know what just happened.

Suddenly, I’m getting hit with questions about “my new CD.”

And I don’t blame you. This whole “project” has morphed into something I wasn’t planning. Did I just call it a project? Um. It was supposed to be a creative session to maybe churn out a half-dozen demos of my best work. Didn’t see this coming at all…

Here’s how things went down: Brent surprised me by recording ONE of my songs in the fall, and I loved it so much that I begged him to do some more. He said “fly out and we’ll see what we can get through.”  So I packed my bags, collected 9 possible songs (even though he said we were aiming for 4 to 7 max) and headed to Oregon.

Y’all… I didn’t even bring my guitar.

We spent the week working through stuff – pulled together his band to play on some of the songs – talked about CD design, marketing, photos -  came out with TEN decent songs, a really FUN photoshoot, and plans for how to finalize everything in the next few months.

So.

Yeah.

I guess I’m working on a new CD right now…?

iTunes, here I come.
