Most of my original songs have been the "because this happened" types of songs. i.e. event or situation oriented. Thus I think I'm not overstating when I claim that if (for some of those cases) I hadn't been able to write them "out of my system" so to speak, I would have become a mental basket case long time ago. There's even one particular song that I wrote at a time when I was in so much pain that the alternative would probably been a razor blade to a vein! smirk
I've (fortunately) only played it once since....and rather hope I never feel the need or reason to play it again.

Right, and now that I've dragged this whole wonderful topic firmly down into the gloom, I think I should stop talking.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
