Songwriting update

Over the summer, I've written four new songs that I'm really proud of. I'm in the process of recording these originals, so I can post them here on my blog. I've written a variety of songs with different genres (rock, acoustic, and pop). I seem to have fallen into a good writing habit and these songs are flowing much more easier then previous tunes. I find that good songwriting takes inspiration, passion, and self-awareness. There must be some kind of meaning behind the lyrics and melody. I used to interpret my songs after they were written, but now I base them off of situations I've experienced. This has been my greatest creative endeavor and I'm hoping I will have an album recorded by the end of senior year.
