#tbt Music edition- La la
/Thursday morning. I'm tired. I've been setting my alarm to get up earlier and I am just not a morning person. My inspiration comes at night. Or later in the afternoon anyway. But, I'm trying to get more done in the day and I figure, "you sleep when you're dead" right?
It's no secret that we all have good days and not-so-good days.
Last night was a not-so-good-night and it's one of those feelings that sits inside my body and I don't know what to do with. It sits deep and permeates my whole being.
I came home and picked up my guitar. I played an old song that seemed to fit my mood perfectly. It's on my album "Validity" and is one of my favorites.
In honor of #tbt #musicedition and because of the way it made me feel better after playing it, I'm sharing it here and now.
I wrote it in San Francisco for a songwriting workshop I was in. There was a period of time I felt like I was in a fog. I didn't want to go out, be out, or talk about anything. Maybe it's the "tortured artist thing". I don't know. But it was there and it felt real.
I've said before that I feel so lucky to have my guitar and music as an outlet and expression. I don't know what I'd do without it. Probably explode!
This song is about that. About not wanting to talk about what I'm feeling or going through and only wanting to sing about it. 'Cuz ultimately, that's what makes me feel better.
So here is the song "La La" from my album, Validity.
What do you think?
Music and love, Dana
I used to have this idea in my head of what I wanted to be But I got side-tracked somehow and instead I just became me. "It's not so bad" I hear them say, and I know they're right It's just a little sad, ya see, to let go of this dream I held so tight
And I don't want to talk about it I just wanna sing about it La la la la la I wanna sing about it Lalalalalalala I wanna sing about it
My friend said "are you ok? I sense a heaviness inside" "Well I appreciate your concern but I think I'm doing fine. I know of late, I've been a pain and I apologize. I'm just trying to forget this pain I'm keen to memorize"
And I don't want to talk about it I just wanna sing about it La la la la la I wanna sing about it Lalalalalalala I wanna sing about it
