Where does inspiration come from?

Mostly life and watching people go through things. Sometimes just a thought, or listening to something someone says.

Here's a list of my recent songs and how they came to be

Crystal Clear: True love and how it affects someone.

That's How The Story Ends: I heard another writer's song here and it inspired a slightly different direction on the topic.

One More Time: wrote this from a listing for music needed by a film. Missed the deadline.

Nowhere Left To Turn: A friend who I have played with in a few bands back in the day finds himself homeless and broke at the age of 64 and there's not too many options for him.

On The Road: just a fun run at fantasy throwing adult responsibility out the window.

Whiskey For Breakfast: Inspired by the lyrics a writer here sent. Wrote it to be about war and conflict and the fallout in the lives of the folks involved.

That's just a start. Look around you and write about what you see. The more you write the better you get.

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.
