The art of Song writing

This comes from within. It is a feeling that falls upon me in the early evening, when my energy is running low, as my thought race within. My emotions run a bit melancholy, as I am looking into my soul as deeply as possible, where those sentimental feelings reside. It is not usually a happy place, nor too sad, but rather a home for the past and present. The future has not been lived, sometimes dwelled upon, so I rarely, if ever, can express my feelings for the unknown. Rather, I feed off the past and present circumstances in my life. I feel for the here and now, more than I care for the past, though the past sometimes creates a good song, for that is what makes up my being! Sometimes a sip of wine may open up more doors to closed emotions or ones that are remotely hidden. Though I dare say, two sips of wine sometimes gives me a feeling of euphoria, a man destined to be discovered, a better than thou feeling...only for a little while...until reality kicks in and tells me I am just me. A creative person and daydreamer! For this I love! Love is probably my highest driving motivating force! My family and close friends create a world of well being and total happiness for me. I thrive on it's happiness to which it gives me strength and energy and tranquility, with all  it's ups and downs. My best composed songs have been after a great swim or bike ride, with my own knowledge and inner euphoria of confidence that tells me I can write a song. I will not write lyrics that are guessed upon, or too cli-che. A few of my songs evolve from thoughts of romance, chivalry, kindness, boldness, daring, cunning, the great out doors, nature, trains( preferably old fashioned locomotives), when the Robin Hood so called villain wins, early evening drizzle, childhood memories, snow capped mountains, whales, polar bears, travels through out Europe, loving families, fireplaces, yearning, and a very unique strong bond of love for ones immediate family and spouse! These are a few of my feelings inside, there are more, but leaves me room to write about this in the future. Not only do I write songs, but currently I am writing a novel. I hope you learned a little about what it takes to write songs, at least for me, and have enjoyed your time. I will be posting a video for one of my songs shortly, that depicts me very clearly, which I am sure you will enjoy!
