Hey hey, long lost friends! Hope you are all rockin’ & rollin’ right along these days! ❤️ Between some behind-the-scenes shop work yesterday, my mama talked me into tryin’ out the acoustics in here with a song I wrote last week. (And then convinced me to do something REALLY scary in sharing this imperfect work in progress! 😅) So here’s a little backstory:
I’ve been closet writing my whole life, sometimes hours a day—song lyrics mainly, which shouldn’t surprise anyone who knows me. 😉 Last month I FINALLY gave up pro-level procrastination (& mostly intimidation), picked up this six string beast & started makin’ my “songs” into *songs*. ✨ What an overdue blessing lovin’ on a guitar has been for me! It’s HARD and my fingers hate me and I can’t even IMAGINE how some of y'all rockers make the musical magic you do! But here I am, by God, stumblin’ on a real song and feeling so proud! ❤️
Short story long, I’m tired of losing important s**t to a digital black hole, and that’s pretty much the inspiration for this song. Authenticity, creativity, connection, individuality, REALITY, has been condensed into manufactured bits on constant stream, keeping us distracted, drained & terrified to be truly vulnerable. We’re just losing too much humanity at too fast a pace. And at this rate of technology and AI, I’m afraid we’re losing one of the most precious human parts of us—ART. We can’t lose art, y’all. I MEAN, WE CANNOT. 😤🙏🏻
So pick up that guitar. Take that photography class. Watch an old Bob Ross video. Sing in the dashlight. Write a poem. Dance a jig. Do something creative just for the sheer hell of it! And don’t be afraid to share it in its perfectly imperfect nature! ❤️ True art isn’t always a finished product or a product at all; the meantime is the real magic. ✨
