Da bravo blogger I just do not like writing but I also like to snoop on other blogs, especially those of the singers or anyone involved in music. Lately I've ended up on the singer's web-diary "The Aura" and I read some of his thoughts that made me think ... There are a couple:
"This holiday season was very bad. And 'bad to have a deadline to write songs. I think no one on planet earth, except-maybe-Phil Spektor and Max Martin is able to write on command. Writing music is a natural thing, and it is natural that when a song comes to arrive. It 'a kind of gift that falls from the sky, or for those who are not believing that something is part of a collective memory where everything has already been written, a mega-cloud that turns around our heads and occasionally spits down some creative spark wrongly mistaken for genius. Missing 1-2 songs at the end of the disc, which is going to bomb the Italian pop-rock of 2010 ... and I feel empty. "
I think that this step is contained the essence of the craft of the songwriter, which is a sort of "non-work" because it is unnatural to give a deadline for the creativity and inspiration can not be bought! Unfortunately, the emotions and the inherent reality that surrounds us can seriously affect an artist and his work.
continues ...
"8 hours of piano a day (taken on Saturday), alone, in 40 square meters for 3 years in a row can be as traumatic an experience (I know this comment will draw the ire of those who makes a job less creative but I urge everyone to monitor for 6 months and decide whether it is an easy job). That must be why I have decided to collaborate on writing a lot of music, to feel less alone.
I love the piano, there's nothing to do. I love that her look black 'n' white, as opposed to the heaviness delicacy: piano, strong, strong, piano, piano,
strong ... Every now and then I'd be able to betraying the guitar, which suonicchio, that is ... has maximum portability, it is very beach, is a party or romantic night ... They say that would help the creativity ... So for the new year I ask the Universe to give me the ability to write good songs with the guitar! "
The need goes beyond certain creative problems" logistics ", because in the end what a true singer / songwriter wants to do is especially good music! If for this you must learn to play a new instrument you learn! If for this you should seek collaboration with other musicians, you do!
This is the craft of the songwriter: follow their creativity and put at its disposal to give you the best!
The Aura is a brilliant songwriter, intelligent, meticulous and a perfectionist. If you want to take seriously the road to success must be exactly like that!
