[writing something every day] day 1: atom bomb

ok SDC let's go: I'm writing something every day in december (up to christmas day). LET'S RUN THE TAP

day 1 turned out a little piano ditty. wanted something chordy, noodle-y. was thinking about how involuntary it is to give someone else power over you - be that a crush, a parent, a friend, an ex.. anyone. sometimes you blink and it's already happened past tense. they call the shots, you're powerless, boom

if I have a core image / mission statement for the song I've gotten into the habit recently of putting it at the top of the notes app page I'm writing lyrics on .. it tends to looks pretty manic but helps sometimes to keep me on track. for this I wrote 'HELL IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CONTROL ME' (giving tumblr 2012). it's like.. not a lyric that goes in the actual thing but the dumb /straight-up version of what I'm trying to convey in verse1?? stops me getting lost in the sauce when writing quickly

lyrics:

stamp on arrival

drink in the lobby

room full of people that

don’t wanna know me

they all seem to be fighting

man I hate the overhead lighting

you were the answer

that was the problem

all of the pressure built up like an atom bomb

(boom)

now i know what set it off

every part

of this body i’ve got

said not to give you the power

so i gave you the power !!

didn’t I

like w our demos, your feedback/thoughts + feelings are welcome on these ideas! if a memory is evoked, if you have an idea about where it could go next.. I'm all ears. also if you make things I highly recommend a challenge like this - call it whatever u like but learning to be less precious with creations is in my experience always a useful exercise.

I'm hoping to hit some kind of flow state this month.. maybe I'll uncover feelings I didn't even know I had? I'm open to it all, baby

love love to you all
