Got writer's block? Write about it I guess... https://soundcloud.com/user-618393096/the-musesV1 The muses have left me to sing by myself I take down the fragments of songs from the shelf Some written in humor, some rooted in my pain But now when I sing them they all sound the same V2 The muses have left me, I sit here alone Try'n to resolve these discordant tones Unfinished puzzles, beginnings and ends My inspiration's been cast to the wind Bridge All of the times that I've laughed and I've cried The love that I've given that has withered and died Seasons of longing, winters endured All the distractions of sweet saboteurs Angels of mercy with words full of hope Just scattered reflections in a kaleidoscope v3 The muses have left me without a farewell' And if they'll return nobody can tell Chordal progressions for secret obsessions Aborted confessions, no chance to atone 'cause the muses have left me alone.... ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Untitled Song File:muses2.SGU Key=C , Tempo 60, Length (m:s)=2:52 No intro. 39 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 39.

Redeye
Smooth tune & well performed. I read lyrics first, they reminded me of Shel Silverstein a bit. Thank you for sharing.

Redeye, this is your best to date IMHO.
Great vocal, super lyrics, outstanding instrumentation and mix.
A sad song at its finest.
Outstanding ending!

I recall writing a similar song about the lack of inspiration that I was going through at the time. It hits us all and what better way to deal with it than to write about it.
Nice.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd 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.

I've always liked songs about writing songs, and this one is no exception. I miss a chorus, but I guess that will have to wait until your next song where you sing about missing choruses

Ah, you definitely saw right through the disguises your muses were wearing, and wrote an inspiring beauty, Redeye. Such a good heartfelt melody and delivery of the lyrics. If the muses have really left you, you are doing very well on your own.

Lyrics easy to relate to and always good idea to write about the block, although difficult to notice any block when there are pearls like "Chordal progressions for secret obsessions/Aborted confessions, no chance to atone"-
Nicely bit of Louis Armstrong feel in music & vocals. Simple but pleasant arrangement.
