I haven't said much lately about my progress to write 20 songs by the end of the year. I'm still on target. I do have a couple of tunes in the works. If I can get focussed, I'll be ahead of schedule
One has started to take shape. I woke up in wee hours of the morning with this idea and the first verse. Weird! Song about a guy waiting at the train station for the 'noon train'. but its 12:35. Still trying to decide if I should make it a happy ending or a sad ending. Maybe I'll write two endings - could give me some options. That would be interesting!
The other song came about in the middle of the night. So far it is only an idea with a few guitar bits and even fewer lyrics. Idea is about turning on the TV at 3 am and what I see as I flip thru the channels.
I get lots of song ideas that come to me in middle of the night - probably out of some dream sequence. Usually, by morning I don't remember much about these ideas. I did have one song that came out of a surreal dream about floating around on some object. I woke up with the music and some lyrics that really didn't make any sense. By morning, those irrational thoughts evolved into a song called "My Dream Automobile". One of those songs that I didn't think much of at first, but my friends like enough that it is one of the songs we play often.
