Writing works

Everytime I come up with a song or extract, its not as easy as it seems... Everything that I wrote, alot of emotional pain and concentration goes to writing that song, making sure you get your idea in the song, present it in a connecting way, and writing what you mean... It is not easy...

I remember whenever I was down, I used to have a book, where I wrote song after song as an outlet of all those emotions, just writing them down in songs, and seeing where the story goes... One of the fond memories I have when writing these songs is turning them into life, well almost...

I recall I like to spend time on Sunday mornings, after mass, spend time in the canteen, and hang out with friends, then doing some songs, and Julie Melissa and Francess were also there to help... It was last year, and I really miss that time, coz it was fun doing that...

Sometimes I will write many songs on paper, then lately I wrote many songs here on FB Notes, and some of my past notes are actually songs I've written, and I will try to make it come alive.. One time in December 2007, when I was so down emotionally and mentally, I wrote many songs about that, the feeling, and the pain... Then slowly I woke up again, and put that past behind me...

Still, its interesting to revisit my school years, and the months after school, before college, when everything was so free, no committment, no classes, free, yet everyday there was this emotional baggage hanging over me, so songs were a way of letting that baggage go... That key period of my life was good for writing songs...

Some songs that I did, after I listen to instrumentals, then I get the inspiration, other times I just write what I feel in songs... I love music, but there's always that big stumbling block, a person, a thing, a career, and its hard... Sometimes you cant do what you really love, but I don't mind doing what I'm studying now, just that I wish I can expand this area of me, the music side...

I love music, I love writing songs, I love the experience of it, and what comes along with it... And writing all that was not easy...
