So quite often when I am not in full creative mode I simply take another song and put the lyrics into that one. I do actually create my own music but it is usually extremely emotionally intense and I don't usually finish the songs. They start getting too complicated usually musically and I feel that I need to practice far more to hold space for the kind of music I want to make! I have a strong background in music and love scales.
Music I feel is the big goal for me. There are like a hundred different angles on it. But one of the benefits it has for me and that suits my psychology is that for me, things are fairly easily broken up into STO and STS. If something can be reasonably dismissed as STO it is STS and that's just the way it is. When I sing or create though I express all the "beauty" in between those two positions. It often can make me accept things that I cannot accept when I am not playing the music, but these things stay accepted after the song is made.
I feel it quite a priority to keep up with the music.
This is a song I wrote about someone in my life, or not really a song I wrote because when you key it to another persons rhythm it is not something that you really made and can perform -> (Without significant change and all traces of the original song gone, I will never perform this). But it's a little creative exercise I did in order to process feelings:
To 'What's up' by 4 Non Blondes, the Chorus actually fits the song I made very well so I kept it:
Verse 1:
All this time, I'm just confused. And I really don't want to be rude, but I don't, know if you're evil.
Things are dark and they've got real bad, and you're always right there in the crap, and I don't, don't know what that means.
Prechorus:
And I try and get up and get on with my life, and I pray for a clue or for a sign and I, just feel stranger.
If I meet someone and find things to do, Do I roll on a street, far from you is there? A little danger.
Chorus,
Verse 2:
And I tried, oh my god did I try, I tried all the time. Felt like I was cursed.
And I prayed, oh my god did I pray. I prayed every single day. That's when it got worse.
Prechorus, Chorus etc.
