The last week has seen somewhat of a personal landmark for me. My intention to start writing songs, (regardless of whether they are any good) has been realized with the birth of my weekly songcast.

I made a promise to myself that I would publish the first song by New Year’s Day and that this time I would actually make good my promise, which I’m glad to say I did.

Why is this landmark? Well I have been a prolific composer of music for several years, but I was never able to come up with lyrics. I still find it incredibly hard, but I think I’ve got over the first hurdle of worrying if my lyrics are good or not and by caring less about that I have found that lyrics are coming more naturally than before. The result is that I have now published two brand-new songs. Not bad for 5 days.

It’s a rather personal project and runs at a bit of a tangent to my recording website. I’m so glad I’ve finally had the nerve to do it. This is another landmark for me. In the past I would have shelved plans to do something like this out of fear of what others may think.
