This song is just me playing an acoustic guitar, the volume is low. It is song 39 of the 5090 challenge, songs 37 and 38 were recorded on my cell phone only the link to all of the songs so far is below.

I wrote a haiku and then wrote 3 more and combined them to make this song. I have some ideas when I can get back to using biab, but right now biab is not accessible to me that's the reason I played it myself. Any suggestions welcomed!

Robert,

This is a very sweet emotional heart on my sleeve type song. Very tender in every way.

You did good!

Hi Robert.

What a lovely clean and clear sound you've got on both the guitar and voice. It's good to hear something which is so natural and not smothered in effects.

So simple, but so effective. Thanks.

ROG.

Kudo's on taking the challenge. Nothing shapes up a writer like writing every day. You have to dig deep to pull some of that stuff out..... it's not as easy as it sounds.

Back in 2011, I set the goal to write 26 songs in that year..... one every 2 weeks all year long. I ended the year with 30+ songs and a few cues.

Keep writing....even when the challenge is completed. Because really, the entire purpose of the challenge is not to get you to write 50 songs in 90 days, but it is to develop the habit of writing on a regular basis.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
