One of the hardest things for a creative is when their Creative drive takes a nose dive! Usually I find that this kind of thing doesn’t last for long, but it’s quite painful when you have something you’re desperate to work on or finish and yet you don’t have that spark of an idea for it.

I’ve been playing a new track and jamming over it for a couple of weeks now, usually the song comes to me quite quickly but this one seems to be caught up in the ‘message’ in the lyric. I’m wanting it to say something powerful and so perhaps that’s the issue, forcing something to manifest, especially if it isn’t naturally inclined can create a wall of energy that you can’t break.

I guess with the music I’m making and the performance I’m giving, I want it to have meaning and hope that that will bring value to it. I don’t just wanna write, ‘ooh yeah baby!’ type songs. But perhaps that’s what this song actually needs to be… Something a little trashy or mindless. Like me going on a holiday! 🥳

It’s called, ‘Alive’ and I really want it to be about how fighting for something, like your own freedom, not being trapped in a box or slowed down by a virus lets say, is the way to feel truly alive! So obviously it’s quite biographical for us all right now! I just want it to be uptempo and fun without it being too much of a cliche.
