A greater view above — yesterday morning, on the good side of full moon energy.

I sit here at work, entering thoughts in as I come to them. For example: This morning I enter product descriptions for a database, presently attending to a Coogi handbag. This bag is made of synthetic leather and the smell reminds me of a furniture showroom — subsequently reminds me of my father, who was for a good portion of his later life, a furniture salesman. I take deep breaths of the smell.

I have been dividing my time between the 2 songs I currently have to work on for Riotgod and these painted, heart-themed wood pieces shown above.

Music: One song is “done” and the second one took a bit but finally I came to a moment of inspiration late last night just before bed. I wrote down the two lines that came to me and a brief description of what the song will be, theme wise. The moment the true inspiration comes is such a good feeling. I had other ideas and it is interesting how song writing will mirror via process, that of drawing.

I will try some ideas that come initially but much like drawing, sketching  comfortable, familiar themes used before, those initial ideas are eventually erased, rejected, with the novel, inspired approach becoming eventually clear.

Tomorrow, I will go into the studio to lay down the re-written melodies and lyrics to the first song and who knows about the second song. I don’t want this to be a rushed affair, this next CD of Riotgod’s.
