How To Write A Song - Part 2 - Turning Inspiration Into a Song
In the previous part in this series we talked about the creative process, how to get inspired, authenticity and establishing a goal for the song.
Now we're moving on to more hands on songwriting. Once you have your goal and have been inspired to start writing there are numerous ways forward to making that song really great. I'm going to explore some of these with you in this post.

How To Write A Song - Part 1 - Your Goal
In the introduction to this series I talked a little bit about the overall aspects of songwriting, now I will delve into it in finer detail. First off is preparing and finding a start to the creative process.
Creative process?
Yes, because this is what it ultimately is about. Creation of a song. Creation of art. Creation of that inner something (thought or feeling) that wants to come out and manifest itself through music.
It can be hard to get inspired on demand (in that little time you had cut out to work on this new song) so always be ready with your notebook, guitar, recording device or whatever you use to plot down ideas. You don't want to miss out when inspiration strikes as you never know when it will strike again.
I remember many times where I've been in a place and time where I didn't have the tools to transfer my inspiration into a format that lasts when my memory doesn't. Don't do that same mistake. Sometimes it comes back and sometimes it doesn't. But why take a chance.

May Album Update

While I had another full sound scape in my head when I wrote the song, this has turned out to be something more powerful than I thought I could make.
In this blog post you will get the benefit of hearing a preview of where we are at the moment as well as a few words on the process of the recording sessions.

The recording at the studio continues. Currently we're mainly focusing on the three songs New Year's Eve, Magic Carpet and Through Your Eyes. In the end we're looking at over an hour of music for this full length album.

January Album Update
And so the work with the debut album took another spurt as I switched to the Beyond The Beat studio at Woodbine Ave and Kingston Road. David MacKenzie is working with me as engineer and co-producer. The aim is now set higher and includes 11 full blown studio tracks. Close to an hour of original music.
