DAVE GOODRICH'S SONG STORIES***** |
I decided that I would write a song a day until had enough good material to record a new album. I started writing on a Monday and wrote some cool songs until Thursday morning came along. It’s sometimes easier for me to write when I’ve been away from the process for awhile. My head fills with lyrics, melodies, rhythms, and chord progressions to the point where songs are ready to spill out like water from a broken levee. Thursday morning seemed to be a different story. I lay in bed in a jaded daze thinking to myself, “I’m tapped out. How and am I going to come with something today?” In a semi-conscious state of malaise, I mumbled, “It’s Thursday and I need a song, but I don’t want to get up...I’ve got nothing to write about.” At that moment, a melody came to me, and I started singing “It’s Thursday...I don’t want to get up.” This was the beginning of what has become one of the more well-received songs It’s Thursday off of the album Stripped Away. I sprang out of bed, did some yoga and vocal warmups, and before I could get in front of a piece of paper and pencil, the song was pretty much written in my head. The writing for the album Stripped Away was complete in twelve days, and I was ready to dig into the sometimes arduous and tedious task of recording. Writing It’s Thursday made me more confident that I would be able to finish my self-imposed challenge. It made me realize that there is always something to write about, and that if you are passionate about your craft, you can pretty much achieve anything.
