Did I mention...
Hello!
Thinking about the seasons changing reminded me how much has changed in my music career since I last gave you an update. Whether you've been around for a long time or are a newer member of my awesome community here, I wanted to take a moment to catch you up.
It's a strange thing, but when writing songs, (my main love) I've noticed they come out in a 'batch' of similar 'types' - ... I was questioning is that a bad thing?
But, I'm realising it's not, cos they flow like the perfect album? When people love particular songs, they love to hear other similar ones!
So, I guess, this is kind of a secret project happening by itself? I have an idea of it being a 'live' recorded studio album?
Also, I'm greatly inspired by being out there singing 'live' lol...
Well durr? I can hear you thinking!
But, it's not the 'live' type of singing I ever thought I'd be doing?
It's kind of 'pivoted' me back to 'my idols' of Kate Bush, Carol King and Aretha Franklin? WAIT WHAT!?
Yet I CAN suddenly DO this! Its kind of like letting go and being in the flow...free falling almost, yet such a physical 'all in' kind of thing?
As a 'new ish' piano player, after only playing rhythm guitar most of my life, piano has shocked me to the core with such freedom in my writing?
Why didn't I try harder years ago? I guess it wasn't the right time.
So now, I'm really attempting to build my piano talents, so I can play competently enough to be able to freefall with my voice at the same time?
Yes I've only just realised, it's very different 'just singing'? (much as I prefer 'live music' to backing tracks)
And it would be far too easy to let someone else do it, lol cos I need to know where I'm going, and 'magic' moments happen to 'make it shine'
This is typical me, setting challenges for myself? But why not reach for the very top!
Thing is, no matter where you are...
We're all on our own journey's, and every small step takes us closer to our hearts desires
Keep on dreaming it into your life...
(keep practising! if you're learning an instrument, tho, do we ever stop learning?)
Cos it may turn out even better than you could ever have dreamed!
As always, I'd love to hear from you, too! What's changed in your life recently?
Best,
Sally x
