Lately I've had a real bout of writer's block. I can't seem to right a "song" to save my life. It's not that I'm not feeling musical, or that I'm not coming up with new riffs or anything...but nothing feels like a song. I think I've been too stuck for too long in my backwards songwriting mode. This is where I imagine what I want to hear and what the song should consist of and then deconstruct it backwards to make it. It works really, really well...but right now I'm stuck because I can't get my head around the big picture. I know that none of you care at all about this but maybe by venting I'll jar something loose and get back to writing. I'm also feeling a lot of pressure to write songs that are better than anything I've written before...I think I'm making too big a deal of this which isn't helping.
