The weatherman called for a 90% chance of rain all day. For added misery, the temperature was supposed to drop to the low 40's by days end. Did I mention that I am a mailman? I was relieved that today was my day off. I stopped writing and recording in the study just a few moments ago to come make myself some lunch. The rain is still coming down.
My nature has always been the outdoorsy type. And when it's sunny outside, I want to be outside. But a day like today is better suited for something indoors. So I've been in my study all morning tooling around with some tunes that I've written. One song in particular I am working on now trying to find that right feel, that right rhythm, that right something to let this song stand on its own. Sometimes this process is more work than at others. If you want songs to all sound the same, then you can skip this process entirely. But something as simple as nuance, lyric choice, chord pattern, or melody can make or break a song.
While the sun is not shining, I will take this chance and use this opportunity to write, to make music, and compose. Who knows when I'll get this"indoor" day again?
