Knee-Deep In The Writing

So I’m knee-deep in it; writing a new album.
I’m loving it and fearing it.
For the past many years I’ve written my songs on the road and on the run.
This time I have the rare opportunity to stay in one place for the whole process of writing and recording.
I wonder what it will do to the writing… Will it drive me nuts?
Hopefully it’ll allow me to get deeper into it than I’ve been before. Enjoy it more. Understand it better.

Working on albums in the past, I’ve always had plenty of ideas to get me started.
This time I was empty. NOTHING on the drawing board.
Not musically, at least. Lots of words and bits of lyrics, scattered all over the place, but no music.
Scary, but at the same time liberating. It could go anywhere. I had no leads.
All I could do was to start in some random place and see where it would take me.

I’ve been going at it, writing and thinking about writing, for almost 3 weeks now.
I still have no clue what kind of an album it’s gonna be. But the songs are coming. They’re not resisting. They want to be written.
I don’t know if they’re the right ones yet. I don’t know anything right now.
