Song Evolution::Inspiration

The chronology of a song's birth is always an interesting experience for an artist. This is the time when the unknown becomes reality and ideas never before expressed or even created are born into song. Some of these ideas are fantastic; others will never make the final cut.

Musicians seldom give their audiences a glimpse of this process until it is over. But, just as appreciation can be gained from the finished song, appreciation can be gained from the process of its birth.

Each song starts with an idea. For me, a song traditionally starts with a few guitar chords and a chorus melody. This time, and for the first time in my creative experience, I have gained inspiration from a drum loop. This experience has been quite a departure from the norm but has proved to be the single most exhilirating creative burst I have ever been a part of.

As of this writing, the song is not yet finished and the two verses have no words or melodies. Please, join in the discovery as a song is created from one moment of inspiration.

Listen to the beat that started this musical journey and tune in as it winds and climbs and becomes something totally unexpected.
