This is my song "Too Sentimental." I normally don't show people the original copy of the lyrics to my songs because often times, they look like this (except normally there are way more arrows and things crossed out), and it feels very intimate to me. This time, however, I thought it might be interesting for you to see how I wrote this song. Songwriting is such a personal thing, and sometimes I think even I loose sight of that. There are still times that I hesitate to sing one of my songs in public or hesitate to record a video of it because it is just too much of "me"... but I guess that's what it is all about, isn't it? I am here, on this earth, to give you little bits and pieces of "me." So, I guess that's what I will keep doing.
On another note, I am getting on a plane to fly to Pennsylvania to visit my fiance and sister in a few hours! I cannot explain to you how excited I am! It has been five months since I have seen either of them, and missing someone you love is a heartache I would wish on no one. It's been really rough these last few months, and I am so ready to have a long stay in PA (two entire months to be exact!) As I mentioned last week, I will continue to share with you guys some new music, new posts, and probably some snapshots of my trip as I go along! I am really excited for what these next couple of months will hold!
Music wise, one thing I really hope to get from this Summer is a better proficiency on guitar. I am going to be working specifically on some different guitar techniques for the next couple of months. (scales/picking patterns/etc.) I will do my best to incorporate these new ideas into my songs. Writing this Summer will be interesting because I am not able to take my guitar with me on my trip...which means I will be playing on/writing with a different guitar! I wasn't expecting to miss my own guitar so much, but if I'm being honest I'm a little sad about being away from it for so long! I assure you that it won't affect my playing [too much! ha!].
