I wrote down some ideas for my New Year's resolutions. (Notice I said ideas.
I have a hard time making a real commitment to New Year's resolutions since
they often just seem like an invitation to failure and
disappointment.)
One thing I wrote on that list of ideas was, "be
braver with my blogging". Another was, "learn LOGIC (software for recording, editing and mixing music)- at least 3 hours
a week".
So here is my first attempt at merging those two ideas together.
I
posted up a song I wrote a couple of days ago. You'll notice it's very
rough. And you might even notice that in the video, I'm not wearing any makeup and I'm still in
my pajamas (altho, with a hoodie thrown on top!) So there's my attempt
at being brave---Exposing myself before making my song and myself more
presentable! ;)
Now that the raw version of that song is out
there, my next step will be to edit and record it using Logic over the next few
weeks. Then, I'll repost a more presentable version of the song by the very end of January. At least that's the idea!
I think that I'm done, that I'm all cashed out
I've got nothing left that I can say
I've pulled it all out, and I've run the course
I think now I'll just walk away
Where I'm going, well I don't know
But when I get there, then maybe I'll know
I don't have a plan or a ticket out
I don't know the place I wanna be
I don't know the color of my parachute
so I'll jump and just hope that we'll see
Where I'm going, well I don't know
But when I get there, then maybe I'll know
Oh the best laid plans often go awry
All the ones I had well, they just passed me by
So where I'm going I don't know
but when I get there that's when I'll know
Let the push of the wind lead me down the path
Keep my boat so it's pointing downstream
Give me patience and hope and an open mind
To see life is but a dream

well I think perhaps I should take my guitar and throw it in the fireplace. I wish my finished and done songs were half as good as your rough ones.
Happy New Year to you Kerri! Hope 2012 brings mucho big happiness to you and yours.
p.s. pretty darned gorgeous with the pj's, no make up, just-outta-bed look.
it's fantastic! if we wait until things are finished nothing would ever get done. that's a heck of a start on your goal of being brave, and on jan 2 too! applause.
Wow! I think this is my favorite I've heard from you yet! Yay you!
Love it! Great song. And, Rob beat me to it, but I was also going to mention how gorgeous you look! Good luck with LOGIC! I'm curious to hear the more "polished" version since this one was already so good.
Have fun!
bRAVE braVE BRAVE! My turn to put it out there this big and beautiful!
