I've been working on a melody for a few months and today, I broke into something I really am freakishly excited about. I had this really great verse I wanted to use with a song, but it just didn't fit with the idea I had today and I had to put it aside reluctantly. I believe it was John Lennon who said (and I'm absolutely paraphrasing here) that sometimes when you're writing a song you have to throw out lines and sometimes whole verses, even when they are good, to get the song right. An unfortunate truth I think. Actually it helped me a lot in songwriting, and I'm not even particularly a John Lennon fanatic or anything. I mean he's good, I just haven't taken the time to listen to his songs (minus the Beatles) and I seriously want to. Just haven't. Anyways, I finished a song. I'm so excited!
These kind of days I can't wait until Josh gets home and I get to do my 'See what I did' dance.
This is the Mel I know and love.

I don't think I've ever seen that dance, but Isure hope I get to hear the song!
OOps! Forgot to add that you can tell Sammi is SICK cause she isn't leaving comments
HEY!!! I just haven't found anything to comment on. with too many comments people might think i am some freaky stalker or always have to have an opinion. well, maybe not but that was my addled brain thoughts in my infected state. Though it is true, sickness takes the giggle out of me.
I soooo want to hear the song (and see the dance). I still listen to the ones you performed on the christmas cd from 2005. I also like to listen to you and josh talk about poop on a stick and that we were all going to recieve crap for christmas. it still makes me laugh. see you in *hopefully* a week. HUGS!!!
