A Song A Day

Last month, I was out with some friends gettin after a few drinks. While we were out smoking, they started singing some songs I wrote a while back in the street. I really thought they were making fun of me, but as it turns out, they actually liked the songs. For whatever reason and i'm sure i could think of a thousand of them, it made me feel great and and the same time weird...

Why the hell did they like it so much? Why is it that so many people say, man you write good tunes, why aren't you on the radio? Do they just like me as a person, just giving lip service, do they feel bad...trying to lift my spirits...talking just to hear themselves or hoping they can control me by seeing how far they can make me go with their suggestions?

They said, you can't just keep playing for the 4 of us, you have to get this stuff out there and at least see... good thought.. But I really just like playing. I like writing stuff and leaving it behind. Writing and playing music is like a cigarette, ya smoke it and toss the filter.
