Last Night's sleep..

..was the first perfectly deep one I have had in two years- with the exception of my nights with Ernest. Satisfactory.

I met a very nice, incredibly talented lady here (her drawing reminded me of a friends) who has a decent working background, and is an English-German bilingual. I gave her Oh Joan for a quick spellcheck, a bit embarassing since this isn't really a representative text as far as my songwriting is concerned. I have no idea what it is, really..it is a text...which will have a type of litany to go..featured in a very intense, unusual video. ;)

It was an experiement, all in all. I am simply getting tired of rules, especially those concerning my writing. I am still in experimental mode as far as writing lyrics is concerned, and I do not want to adhere to any rules as far as this specific song is concerned. I have "classical" songs. And knowing that Oh Joan has an awkward structure and rhyme, a bit..wooden, as we would say, despite my inner perfectionist..I think it is perfectly right. For now. :)

Next Week..

Robbie Fields and his son are going to pay me a visit. :)

And I will meet with a British singer-songwriter for a discussion of my first song and lyrics. Robbie once told me that I should resist to put all the content of one whole album in a song. :) I know that, and he was right- but for that specific song (and the video) that is inevitable.
