I have a half written song in my notebook and the melody in my head. It needs some verses but the chorus is there as is the melodic bridge. I get downloads of lyrics and melodies. I have to be ready with either the phone to record inspiration when it strikes or have one of my many notebooks around to write down the lyrics that are hitting me. Sometimes a random conversation with someone can prompt a lyric download, days or even weeks later. It could also be a shared experience that inspires a lyric, a feeling, a moment to record and then share when the song is complete.
There’s something about this particular song that feels emotional, exciting and also a touch of sadness with a hint of knowing that something is going to happen. You know, when you just know deep within you that something is going to happen, there is no doubt in your mind at all. It might take days, weeks or months but you just know.
‘take me by the hand and lead me to the floor, we’re dancing slowly, soul to soul, you don’t love me yet, but you will fall, you will fall’.
The song is called ‘Respect The Kiss’, it keeps floating into my mind so I think that’s a sign to get it finished and released. Although I have three songs recorded and ready to be released this year. However, I am the queen of procrastination… I’ll get there!
With love and sparkles xx
