P.ack T.hy S.ecrets D.eep - I hate the way I sound by myself. The oafish clumsiness that is my fingers upon an instrument. Dont misunderstand, I feel very confident and comfortable songwriting and singing, but I always can feel what a song WILL sound like once the real musicians join me (and I practice a little) and so it pains me to expose what is essentially the worst version of the song possible. You cant hear the thumping drum! The string section! The choir! All those things that are actually part of the song that you cant hear in this draft. Ha. But Im also always aware that I might die today, on any given day. Ive seen enough life to be hyper-aware of that fact. So more than Im pained of this version being out there, Im more scared that if I bite it my friends wont be able to record it cause they wont know how it goes! So rough drafts always are shared. If I die today someone ask Paul and Carla to get together and make a better version please. Hire a choir. Hahaha. Memento mori. Secrets shared are better than secrets hidden away. Dont allow your past to hold power over you. And if my daughter doesnt get it, someone please explain that I dont want her to hide her pain away, but that this is me saying I understand why she does. And its okay.
