There are a few strange shenanigans going on in Summers’ brain presently. Lots of songs that are existing in Tangled Webs. A weird experience of bouncing around lots of different song melodies. There is a new vibe of:

‘Stay Calm, Avoid Anxiety, Shift the Parameters to Non Expectations and Simply Chill’.

Alongside this is a little conundrum of :

‘Where to go and What to do with finalising songs’.

I could easily meld these two songs here together as one song. Hence, a need for collaboration. I don’t hear songs in my head. I sing them silently into my head space. I only really hear them properly in the reality of true sound. Rather like my Aphantasia where I see no visuals. My mind cannot hear sounds or songs within and along my neural synapses. Lovely state of affairs for a songwriter …….. Not!

Basically, do I simply work on an acoustic vibe and do them basically. That wouldn’t take too long. A need to start to polish up the acoustic guitar riffs for filling out the melodies instead of a simple ‘down strum’ technique though. But, in reality, I play Bass guitar ….. not six string electric or acoustic.

Or do I get it in the mind to build on the obvious additional instrumental melodies I hear happening beyond the basic voice and guitar as above. Well, drums added too here of course. A full song experience in each and every one of the new song ideas slowly taking shape week by week. The whole caboodle of keyboards, etc..

Currently there are ‘ideas’ and certainly not ‘ideals’ to be nodded at.

There is now a crossroads I suppose. I can’t play lead guitar, drums or adequate keyboard chords. Even acoustic guitar would benefit from a more unique style of playing.

So I cannot realise the full sound envisaged because there is a need for others to come on board. Musicians with a bit of clout. Without this? Maybe simple is as simple ‘skills’ does. Bite the bullet and play basic sound and add an undercurrent of bass line and simple drum pattern.

But, if that is to be reality? There will always be an inherent feeling of songs left unfulfilled. A ‘What if …..’.

And that isn’t really a happy state of affairs.

Oh Hum! Still thinking………

As an aside ……. My new Sony APM ES 22 speakers. A wonderful gift given to me a few weeks back. They sound awesome. Vinyl listening has now moved up a fair number of degrees.
