Whew! I made it! Man, it's hard to believe. I will go into hiatus for a month and return with a new plan to put all these ideas into action. Thank you everyone who contributed to my confidence and encouraged me to push on.

One Year Old - How many is that in song years?

The verse and chorus, although rough in this cut, certainly will stick.  I need to fix the bridge and put in some words. When all is said and done, this project will be more about song ideas than final pieces.  I think that when I reach idea 52, I will start another year long project with the goal of cleaning up 12 of these ideas and making an album.

I think I'd like to get to the point where I could just make up the lyrics all the time.  The ones in this song were entirely spontaneous.

Catchy. Maybe with a chorus/bridge, it might end up as something. Speaking of ending up as something, I tried my hand for the first time at taking a serious stab at some of the song ideas I've posted here.

I had quite the inspiring weekend this week.  So much so, that I did not even go to sleep last night. I thought this would make writing something for this week harder, but, in fact, it made it easier.  I don't know if this is because my senses are dulled, and what I think sounds good is actually complete crap, or if things just worked out well.

This one is a rough sketch, somber but lingers in my head when I put it down. Always a good sign.
