Thoughts of the Moment
January 4th, 2006
Have you ever been sitting, or standing, somewhere and a brilliant thought comes to you? Perhaps it is an idea, a plan, a story, a joke. You want to write it down because you have been struck with brilliance and to not record this is to lose it forever! But alas, a keyboard (pen and paper is evil) is nowhere to be seen. You promise yourself you will remember and the next time you sit down at your computer you will write down your ideas and you just hope you can write as elegantly as you are currently thinking. You might try to not work out your thoughts, preferring them coming to you as you write, conveying a more raw and unpolished view. Or you might try to completely work out the thoughts on the spot hoping this might help you remember them when you eventually write them down. Unfortunately, you know as well as I, that it is a rare occurence where you actually remember to write this down. And if you do the epiphany is gone; the flash of brilliance is long past. You may try to rewrite your ideas but they are devoid of feeling and life.
This is the result of a thought I had several days ago and was unable to write until today.

Happens a lot when an idea for a song pops into my head. I’ll begin to develop the idea and arrange it mentally, but by the time I get somewhere to try and write the song structure down, the idea is gone…
