I used to write songs when I was in high school. It is not something i usually plan or focus on doing so. Usually it comes out while I'm randomly playing the guitar, then I start to believe that the notes are quite nice so I keep playing them until I get to memorise. By then, I take my phone recorder or a notebook and write down or record the chords, play around with the sound, mumbling words to sentence without meaning. Next thing I'd be doing is writing down some kind of poetry that combines the feeling. It might take me less than an hour to write a song or sometimes it takes months until I finish the whole song.
What I love about writing songs is that you get to speak out the thoughts in your mind. Sometimes they are your past emotions or can be a present one. But to be honest, I believe that when you're broken, that's the best time to write down cause it gets more personal and it gives you a deeper emotion.
Years later, i lost this muse of mine. I really don't know what happened. Some say you need a certain kind of motivation or inspiration but, I have been inspired the whole time. Probably it's because... I don't know. Sometimes it visits me. It makes me right in a short period of time, then leaves instantly.
My muse, please visit me anytime you want. I'd like to do this more often and serious but having fun.
I've even come up with a simple project. I made a music video of one of my original songs entitled "staring at the stars".
This video/photo shooting was random. It took me days to finalise the final production. I used other music and then realised, "why am I not using my own?". So here I am, sharing you a song I wrote years ago when me and my college friends where at the beach at who knows what time that was; recorded the cover video in 2012, and releasing somehow a kind of music video maybe this week. Stay tuned!
