Weapon of Choice

I love music but for a little while I was in a bit of a musical funk. I've was feeling confined by scales and chords and like I had nothing creative to say musically. But that was then and now, now music is just everywhere. So I've been working on this new song. Just music, a bass and guitar line. I like it. It sounds good so far, or at least I like it. The best part is I just played it. I didn't worry about notes or any of that junk, just got the idea in my head and made it happen. I don't know how words will work with it, or what words but they'll come I'm sure.
Music gets me in trouble too. I got in trouble Sunday. I was figuring out what key hyms were in instead of singing them and Elsa didn't appreciate it too much. I won't do it again. And then the other day I was listening to a drum beat and it was a weird beat and before I knew it I was figuring out the time signature and when all the snare beats were. It was in 4/4. Straight eighth notes on the high-hat and then snare hits on the 2, 3 & and off-beat of 4. And for those of you who that makes no sense, it was like: tsh, tsh, coom, tsh, coom, tsh, tsh coom. Yup that's exactly how it is. Yeah. I'm out.
