Just got back from rehearsal. The blistering fast pace continues. We have "Outsider" -our first acoustic-ish jam almost ready, I have the chorus lyrics, but am still "la la la"-ing the verses. Want them to be just right. I really like this song, very moody and melancholy. Makes me think of rainy days. The songs are growing and tightening up, we're tweaking and refining our parts, and Dave is coming up with a lot of great in-between song jams for when we play live. We're starting to sound more and more like a band. "She Won't Last" and "Ashes" are sounding especially powerful to me. We have two musical jams , one that I have "la la la's" over, and one without that the guys are raring to play, but I don't have lyrics yet. Bums me out a bit, cause I want them ready to play. I can't write if there are no words floating around in my head. I find that typically, there is one week a month where the "spirits" are present, and I am inundated with ideas, the rest of the month it comes and goes.

Anyway, I think this is a dry week. All words seem the same, they are blank of meaning, just consonants, vowels and volume. The melodies are always not far away though, that's why I can usually always come up with "la la la's" if need be. So here I wait, waiting for lyrics to "Nothing Wrong with Me" (if that what it ends up being called), and "Untitled". "Outsider" is what I am trying to finish first, it's right on the edge of my mind, and if I keep it there, all of a sudden-- while eating lunch, walking up the street, doing something very far removed from thinking about it, there they will be, the words.

Also, the guys can jam songs, and come up with parts very quickly, and I need to hunker down with one song at a time, to really get it written, I can only really single-task with songs. Last was "Ashes" -which sounds great - very heavy -  and now; "Outsider" - acoustic and melancholy. After that, who knows.
