New songs - new toys

I happens all the time, often in the car where suddenly the perfect first line in a song lyric suddenly appers in my mind. If I at this very moment dont have pen and paper, the perfect words for the perfect songlyrics dissapers in a flash.

Luck for me I sometimes remember those word long enough so I can write em down. This happens all the time, so a couple of day ago I found me self thinking about a simple singel word and its real meaning. The word was one often used in lyrics and in real life.

FOREVER

Arriving back home it took me less then an hour to write the lyrics for a song down on a blank piece of paper. A couple of hours later there was even a melody. This particular song has now left its piece of paper and been recorded as some kind of demo. With that I usually listen to it and in a couple of days or years finds the final solution on how I want it to sound.

Yesterday yet another lyrics was written and soon recorded. Only to find out that the lyrics was great but the music wasnt worth listening to at all. So during the upcoming days I have to find some new music that will suit this lyric.

One way to get in to the right mood for playing music or writing new songs is to ad a new gadget to the collection. At a wistit to my local musicshop "JAM" I suddenly became owner of some electronic gadgets. An electronic gadget that would make my guitars sound in a million different ways. Distortion, reverb, Echo and all the other normal sounds could be added. The fact that it was given to me, was mainly caused by the way it looked. Almost as if was hit hard with a sledgehammer och a big truck. plugged in it still worked perfectly. To be frank I dont like those guitargadgets that much, mainly because it take to much time to make em work the way I want it to.

Leaving the musicshop I realised that they sold a Telecaster and did get a ES-175 as part exchange. Hmmm I really like the design of those guitars. It all lead to this morning when I took my Ibanez Artcore and made a swop to the ES-175.

Two new gadgets, hopefully they will help me to write some new songs....
