Sensitivity

In music you sort of have to allow yourself to be sensitive to 1. Appreciate the emotions others are giving you through their music and 2. To create music that means something to you. This is something easier said than done however.

There are days where music just doesn’t hit me emotionally. Whether that is depression or something like that it doesn’t really matter. It’s hard to create when your body is in “defense” mode. You have to open up and be vulnerable with the material in front of you. In a non-defensive and non-judgemental way.

I think that’s where there is such a huge parallel between how people LISTEN to music and how people WRITE music. It makes a huge difference.

I also got a new guitar recently. Have already recorded it a few times and it sounds great. Lovely intonation.
