music... as critical for inspiration as visual art

here i sit one double shot from creative insight
an acoustic poet with a steel string voice trying one more open mic

with that said i get one more chance to write a that song i might like
in my head i've got countless words hope that these ones turned out right

a blank page can have a picture hidden if you look at it just right
here on stage i get to see that image in hopes you can see it too

with that said i get one more chance to write a song that you might like
and in my head i've got countless words and hope that these ones turned out right

like i said i get one more chance to write a song that we might like
in my head i've got countless words and hope that these ones turned out right

hope that this one turns out right
hope that this one turns out

That song played out on Pandora in my Pogues station... the first line got me...

and i had to transcribe the lyrics... listen for yourself over at m y s p a c e the song is called, obviously: Songwriter.

Oh shit - i switched stations to the Mighty Mighty Bostones... and i get a fucking add for MacFuckingDonalds... that really grinds my gears...

oh well...

I'll take your word for it since myspace is blocked at work. I've always been a big fan of Pantera for some motivational music.

Pantera... motivational...

Zoosique, that says more than you would intend i believe...

we can only hope that the m(ensa)butteryfly (didn't ya know that the 'm' stands for Mensa?) takes that comment of yours and runs with it...

that would make for some major entertainment....

G, I meant motivational as in to get the adrenaline pumping, i guess this isn't what you were talking about in your post?

i had to re-read cause i was confused... doubting myself... you made me think i said something about motivational music... or music being motivational...

inspiration and motivation are different...

as is adrenaline pumping... also different...

me - for the latter prefer Bostones someday i suppose CD and Black Sabath Paranoid Album.... (the one with Iron Man)....

but i think i've covered that pretty well...

i'm not sure what ya thinking man
