I've recently decided to begin writing my own song and I have no clue what I'm doing.
My name for the song so far is 80's Ballad in B Flat Major (this is definitely not permanent) and to be entirely honest with you, I feel uninspired. I've written my Harmony out, I know what kind of feel I want from the song, but I've been having a mess of a time trying to find a direction in creating my opus.
I'm in a wretched mess of being simply too boring to write about me personally and not having a true inspiration to draw from. For what it's worth, I really am not comfortable with the sheer lack of experience I have in the real world. What is even worse is that it is hurting me, making me not want to complete it.
I am really not the emotional type. I would definitely call myself a bit of a rationalist when it comes to my feelings and my more angst-y urges yet I still feel this lack of character eating away at my integral defense that I've built up. Even just writing this all I can think of is how this might affect me beyond the mind and just that hurts.
Right now I'm watching Trainspotters and looking and reflecting on the film whilst watching this makes me think about how can one become a person of character. I know many artists have turned to drugs, sex and/or alcohol for inspiration but I feel as though I'm smarter than that. And this is where I get stuck. I know better than to get into Heroin or casual sex but I've yet to find a tap for reflecting on my feelings and my mind.
I know this sounds cheesy but the only place I can think to turn is writing about this process, or just turning my song into a joke. That is not a road I want to go down.
I need to find the niche where I feel that I've got the experience to get used to the creative process without falling into a hole that I can't get out of.
