It’s true, I have a crush. Well, not really. I had a crush. This happens to me more often than I would like, after all I am human. When ever this occurs I take advantage of the situation and use the inspiration to write music.

No, I don’t actually confront my crush and reveal my feelings. That would be normal. I play the game like a champ and let the chips fall where they may. I’ll save those details for another post. This post is about using real life situations as a muse to write great music.

So, I had a crush (I’m over it now btw, well at least that one) and when I would talk to her, when ever it was, there would be a smile on my face. I know, pathetic. But it’s the truth. One day after a discussion I got in the writing mode and this came out:

I met her in November
She said her name was June
And when she speaks I swear the sun shines through
I mean she brightens up my days
My night times too
And reciprocates what I say times two
She feeds my curiosity
She’s my mind food
Take her away from me it would be a crime to…

That was about half of the first verse. (What do you think?) The funny thing is as this song continues, it turns sour. The brightness fades away and we part ways. Not that it has happened or that I want it to. It’s just that in my experience all things come to an end, and I acknowledge that in my music. I represent life, as I know it, in all of my songs. This is one example.

So my advice: Go, live, experience your experiences and write it about… I’ll be happy to listen (or read)
