'Letting Go', Week 2

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO: Letting Go is song 2 of 52.

I wrote the song earlier this week, but recorded the vocals and played the guitar today. I'm using a very fast drum loop in my little 8 track.

I've been in a funny sort of mood today...provocative...I think it's a combination of working off all my holiday indulgences and I'm missing someone.  But I choose to embrace the happiness...the laughter and the hope of things to come.  I think this is a dance class or running song...something to get you moving.

I tweaked my website today... please go have a look if you can...

'Close Your Legs'

When a woman welcomes a man inside her body. Sometimes it means a lot more to her than it did to him. She can mistake the pleasure of sexual release for a sign that he genuinely cares for and about her. Sometimes the pain of facing the fact that he doesn't is unbearable.  He might come back when there's no one else available or when he's drunk...or bored...but if he's not there for the important things...if he's not there for the little things that are important to her...then he's not really into her...so he doesn't have the right nor does he deserve the privilege of being inside her.  When she's ready to face these facts...no matter how painful...then the longing for the physical pleasure he provides sometimes will fade away...because she's 'closed her legs' to him in her mind as well as physically.

Now I just need to take this idea and put it in a song format...but maybe not today.

The truth of this statement flashed across my mind earlier today, but I couldn't grasp it completely. So I posted a statement that may seem insulting to some...but I was looking at something deeper than a simple physical act of sex.

Week 1, Stephen

Today, two men were found guilty of the murder of Stephen Lawrence. The murder happened 18 years ago when Stephen himself was 18 years old. He was a young black man, stabbed to death after a racist attack by 5 white boys. The whole thing was senseless and tragic for all the families involved in this prolonged and determined fight for justice on one side and the fight to keep their families together on the other.

Week 1 is for Stephen and his family

I am still writing songs pretty much everyday or at least fragments of songs... but this year I will only post one or two of them on Tuesdays. They're rough versions made at home, just like last year. But I can hopefully be a bit more organised in 2012 and maybe increase skills in all sorts of things as I go along.
