Today for dinner we had a Picnic in the park. B and the K Maschines hung out on a wonderful Spring evening, soaking in the life giving views and the reasons to keep kicking. I had a good day at work, a good friend came back from Vacation and ended it with a great Dinner and wonderful night with Lost and finally Songwriting.
I guess for me everything brings itself to songwriting. I don't believe you write in a bubble, you take from your 5 minute break you had 12 hours earlier as well as what you read and what you see around you. I think that is why I write about whatever. I think if those few out there that dare to read my ramblings are reading to get to better understand me. I am my songs and my songs are me, even if I don't know what I write about. I think the question needs to be do you do your art because it is what you are, or is it because it is what you are becoming? I find myself becoming more then being, I write songs that mean nothing or are just jumbled up thoughts in my head but eventually they mean new and clearer things to me. However I can't write without being at the right place. I can't have written a song like "Beauty" when I wrote "Angel of Sanity" or the even older "Love Long Friends". I am becoming new and so my songs are becoming new. The great Advantage I have that other people don't have is that my media is always changing. I can always change my words live, true Albums solidify but lyrics aren't things that can't be changed. When I make a paint stroke it is a little more lasting, as a songwriter/performer of my songs I can be a little more liberal. Any how I just wanted to ramble on for a second. I wanted y'all to know I had a fun day with Koola and B and wrote some songs. Now I am off for some sand dreams and ocean tides.
Peace and love,
K Masch
