I wrote a new song today. The idea came to me as i was sitting in a recording studio while my dad was recording vocals. I thought of the first line and then starting writing away the lyrics into my phone. I got home and copied them to the computer and contiuned writing. Thoughts were coming to me like a flood. It was great. I had the same flood of ideas last night, but after I re-read what I wrote last night, i decided that it wasn't really good. Not even good enough to get ideas for what I wrote today. It's been a while since i've written something i've actually liked.
The idea was to get 4-6 songs together to record an EP in the summer. I'm at 7 now. I'm going to name the release Vas Y Viens. It means Come and Go in french. It seemed to me that the songs I have are based around the idea of life/death and being somewhat of a drifeter. As I was writing the last few lines in the last verse I realized that I had just written the title track. It was completely unintentional. I wanted to use every song I've written after the intial 6 for a split i wanna make with the Humdrums, but after realizing what I have written, I'd be a fool for not adding it to this project.
I hope all goes well with this. I've been battling myself trying to decide if I should do it or not. Half of me feels that it'll be a waste of time and money to make a solo release. I can't sing. Who will actually listen to this? Who will see me when I play shows? But i figured, fuck it, and i'm gonna keep thinking 'fuck it' until it comes time to record. Because once I start, I won't go back.

and by the time the sun has reached you to kiss you in the morning
I’d’ve already nursed the night before’s sores from the tears dripping off the awning
on my off time. The good souls have died.
I’m already pushing a thousand against their will and have forced them to cry
while the bitter ones rely on water falling from the sky;
it’s not all poison, but we’ll keep that just between you and I.
