The Art Of Song Writing!

This comes from within. It is a feeling I usually get in the early evening, when my energy is lower, and my thoughts race from 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 for me, nor too sad, but rather a home for the past and present. It digs deep, deep within. The future is not lived yet, sometimes dwelled upon, but I feed off the past and current circumstances of my life. I feel for the here and now, and more than I care for the past...for that is what makes up my entire being! A bit of drink( for me a 1/2 glass of red wine) does sometimes help. It opens up more doors to closed emotions or ones that are remotely hidden. I dare say, alcohol sometimes gives me a feeling of euforia, 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 not as great as I think I am...when the alcohol subsides..so do I. But it can make me write, although my best songs were written with a  clear level head, by my own knowledge and inner euforia of confidence that tells me I can write a song. I am not a drinker, but an athlete. Many of my best songs have been written after a great run, bike ride, or swim! 
I will not write lyrics that are guessed upon, nor too cli-che. I love romance, chivalry, kindness, boldness, daring ,cunning, outdoor feels, nature, trains( preferably old fashioned locomotives), when the Robin Hood so called villain wins, early evening drizzle, snow capped mountains,whales, polar bears, travels through out Europe, families together at home, fireplaces, yearning, and a very unique strong bond of love for ones immediate family and spouse!
