Day 55 | Monday, February 23 | 2009

Pedestrian in Alley...

Kinda busy day.  For a moment today I had serious thoughts about cutting my hair.  But then I realized I am going to keep it going.

I have been writing a lot of melodies lately.  This is good because hopefully now I will start to write lyrics.  I want my next work to be one that is more disciplined and focused lyrically.  I think that Nostra Nova was focused enough but was not tightened.  It is important to have the lyrics say something.  I felt like there were some moments on Nostra Nova in which the lyrics said something but I feel that, in general, I did not really know what I was doing.  I feel like I am intellectually, emotionally, and personally light years away from where I was during the writing process for my last album, so this time around it would serve the situation best to really examine the context of the writing content, form, and how it relates to my formulations.

Regardless, I am excited about the writing process and I hope that it turns out well.
