Is my personal experience down the road of addiction while trying to hold on to someone you love.

Taking a little break for a while to pursue some other endeavors now that the weather is getting warmer. Will be back in a few months. Not sure what direction I'll be taking musically but as usual it will be different.

Put on my apron, goggles, gloves and I'm back in the shop hammering out my new composition. Its a little different as are most of my songs. Another vocal downtempo piece working its way down the bench. I hope to see it appear on shelves mid month.

Probably my worst recording as I had just begun using my computer to record live sounds and my equipment was pretty rudimentary. As was my knowledge in EQ'ing, mixing and mastering.
I've since lost the files so this is what's left until I get another guitar.
I wrote this song on election night 2008. There was an over abundance of exuberant expectations that politics were now going to change in some radical fashion to which I responded with Always....old ways. In other words same ole same ole.
I had some criticism on the line "I don't even recognize you" meaning I was not going to recognize him as President but what I meant was he was an unknown with no real experience in the political arena. Could be good right? Maybe, if he hadn't come from corrupt Chicago aka Corrupto Illinois. Always.....Old ways.
Now, 6 years later my song isn't as relevant. The line "He's got time, to bring them all home. But can he" only seems to have been answered. Were they? Universal healthcare only seems to have been brought to fruition. Has it? To me it appears its politics as usual and as Always.....old ways.

During the dry times of creativity I go back to those pieces I had begun but lost interest in or felt they weren't working towards the direction I wanted them to see if they rekindle any emotions. With "Say Goodnight", it did just that.
Now being a hobbyist I guess almost all my songs are not really complete in my mind. I produce what I think is good for digital media and the amount of time I'd give to any one song. Somewhere between 2-4 minutes, 3 minutes being ideal. That's the case with " Say Goodnight". It does have a longer version. We all have shortcomings and my biggest two are 1. Writing lyrics 2. I'm undisciplined. However, I am pretty happy with "Say Goodnight" lyrically, the downside is it's negative connotations. Unfortunately any time I write about my experiences in relationships all I can draw on is my life and it's filled with negative outcomes. Poor choices, intimacy issues etc. Some have walked away from me and I've had to walk away from a few, which is what this song is about. Sometimes I really did just have to "Say Goodnight".
