all those bleak posts i wrote the other day? the Night of a Thousand Posts? not feelin’ it. just… not feelin’ it.
this confirms a suspicion that i’ve had for quite some time now: that i write my way out of the dark holes i stumble into.
i think: other people see a glimpse, a flash of light in the midst of their despair. i’m just the opposite. i see a hole in the middle of all the light sometimes.
so that’s… nice. it’s good to know i’m not as fucked up as i thought i was after all.
music: 10 minutes
lyrics: still working on them, but it’s coming along nicely.
it’s my first balls-out hard rock song in a very long time. fairly standard heavy rock, borderline metal. kind of like Taproot or Alice in Chains. (ok, not exactly standard…) and definitely very dark stuff, about an undead creature that crawls out of the mud at night to torment its living doppelganger. sort of an analogue for mental illness.
i forgot what the rest of this post was going to be.
