However, yesterday I came up with music that I am in love with, I haven’t done that in a really long time. I have forced myself to forget it after taping it, and am resisting the urge to go downstairs and listen and play it some more. I don’t want to get used to it until I have an idea.

And I have an overall idea in the formative stages for the next CD and I want to try and stay on track with the writing, so I’m afraid to touch the song until I have a clearer idea where I’m going.

Sometimes it seems bad that I’m already spending this kind of energy on the next CD when the current one isn’t finished yet. If the process hadn’t taken so long I suppose I wouldn’t be, and I need some sort of spark to get me back on track with the current one. This has been the biggest drawback to taking over a year to record this, I keep losing momentum in my head.
