Unfinished Song-in-Progress: Something Worth Saying... (Patreon)

Disclaimer: My new phone's mic apparently likes to cut out at random, so...sorry about the random missing word in the beginning of the recording 🫠

I started writing this because I saw a post from a musician I like where they turned a journal entry into a song, just directly taking the words and putting them to a melody. And the thing is... I hate journaling 😅 In my little brain, journaling makes so much sense for a song writer. There is so much opportunity for song/lyric ideas from journal entries. Just writing things down.

But I just hate it 🙈 It's just really not my thing. So I thought... wouldn't it be funny to write about that? 😂 Every time I've tried journaling, it just feels so tedious and silly, like...what do I write? From what perspective? What's the point?? Even though I know it doesn't matter, it's whatever I want, and there's an inherent benefit in having an additional space for creativity that could be used in song writing.

Anyway, another verse is in the works already, and I'm actually excited to see where this one takes me. Listen... song writing is my journaling, okay? 😅

Lyrics:

I should be journaling

But I've been spiraling

'Cause the thought of journaling

Makes me feel kind of pretentious

Like I've got something worth saying

Something worth writing down
