Towering heights.

Finally. It's been a year since I composed a complete song, and today it finally happened. After a total of nine different uninspiring half-written songs, my creative juices rekindled, and my new favorite song, Towering Heights, was created. Honestly though, words cannot explain how my feelings of happiness and pride overwhelm me at this very moment. You see, over the past year, I went through a creative block. A creative block is basically where a predominantly right side thinker is just not able to use their otherwise creative function effectively. It almost felt like I was dropped into a large box without a way to climb out of it, while still knowing what laid outside the box. This block affected not only my songwriting, but also my writing, my singing and my piano/violin playing. This was incredibly discouraging and difficult for me as music is something I largely identify with. I am still recovering from this and everyday is another hard and tiring step forward; sometimes tiring to the point of wanting to giving up. However, because of what I was able to accomplish today I feel that after all my tiny steps I am finally able to take a giant meaningful step. Now I feel empowered to not give up and keep at music, because sometimes these things happen. We just can never know unless we keep at it.

I would just like to share my favorite lines from my new song :)

Towering heights

The art of trying to find the self

In the plastic jars of material shelves

The sky's too high so you bare each sell

But I'll Climb right through life's daylight spells

I will probably post the entire song (along with the audio or video) sometime :)

What a way to end the week!
