Another Step

Well part of the reason I wanted to start a blog is to share some of the music I write. That is a very scary statement because honestly until about 2 years ago I hadn't showed even my closest friends my songs and now here I am about to put it out there for whoever feels like taking a look!!! Aughhhh deep breath here we go..... This is a song I wrote a long time ago but it just seems appropriate for  where Im at right now.

I looked in the mirror didn't like what I'd see
Empty, hollow staring back at me
Blow the dust off the cover take a look inside
There's a love  for life trying to survive
Beneath all the dust I knew it was always there
Trying so hard, struggling for air

I wanna ride the wind
Go somewhere I've never been
Experience the life that you've given me
Believe like a child again
So lets turn the music up
And roll all the windows down
I wanna dance in the open
Like no ones around

Take you by the hand don't matter if I understand
Take a chance don't look just leap
Dreams come true I know they do
That why i put my faith in you
I'll close my eyes so I can see

I wanna ride the wind

Go somewhere I've never been

Experience the life that you've given me

Believe like a child again

So lets turn the music up

And roll all the windows down

I wanna dance in the open

Like no ones around

Well there ya go, a small insight to me. Hope you enjoy! Some day soon ill post a video of me singing it but for now it is what it is. 

Just Getting Started...

I'm the kind of person who has thousands of thoughts and words tumbling around in my head all day long. But for some reason when I sit down to write I freeze up. I'll stare at the empty computer screen or blank piece of paper in nervous anticipation.  I know I have something to say but what if it comes up shallow? What if the words i write don't carry the weight which i intend, or they don't convey the message I'm desperately trying to get across? If there is one thing I've learned in life its that sometimes just getting started is the hardest part. Once I begin to write, the words seem to overflow from a place inside myself  that I'm not always aware of but has been there all along. And its in those moments that i feel inspired and connected to the person I truly want to be. So this is me- Just getting started...
