So writing a song...with 3 other people...with very different tastes in music...but bring all there different ideas together to form a great song...is amazing! It's hard enough writing a song on your own to fit into the box that you have imagined in your head! But that's the best part about it...you don't have to be pushed and closed into this box when you're writing a song! Of course there are formats and outlines you can follow, but the beauty is you can throw all that out the window and create your own format! Writing a song gives you the chance to be free, be who you are, express your thoughts and feelings musically, dare to suck and not care! I definitely have dared to suck and believe me...definitely accomplished the sucking aspect of that phrase! But in music that's what's awesome, you may think you have a stupid lyric in your head, but you throw it into your song anyways and it works...it actually works really well! Expressing who you are through music and words and sharing that with others is a great feeling! The best part is, whatever you feel that day and decide to write about, there’s a genre of music for you! You feeling happy?! Write an upbeat, fun, poppish song! You feel a bit discouraged...I would say write a sad song but then you just become more discouraged...so flip that frown upside down and write an encouraging, uplifting, high spirited...possibly...country song! Which makes me think of a wonderful song by Miley Cyrus...When I look at you! :) Its a song about being discouraged, but once you just look at that one person...everything is ok again. So many times we feel like nothing is going right or the way we planned or thought it would, but there's always that one person that can make everything better. That one person, that no matter how bad you're feeling, can you make you smile from ear to ear without saying one word. That one person that you know you couldn't live without. That one person that you would beyond a shadow of a doubt jump in front of a bullet for. That one person that you know was placed into your life...not at all by accident or chance...but for a reason. For some people that person could be God, it could be your mom or dad, your brother, sister, cousin, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, best friend, girlfriend, boyfriend...no matter who that person is make sure they know how you feel about them. Let them know how much of an impact they make in your life. Let them know how much you care for and love them. Let them know that you would never want to be without them...even if that meant taking your last breath so that they might live one more day. This is what Jesus did for us...be willing to do this for somebody else.
