Trying out emotion before structure for this 10 mins songwriting challenge, to combat my perfectionism.
I got frustrated that after spending a few weeks on a song, I can't even perform it properly in front of the camera. So I try to come up with something that would feel right for the vibe I'm getting when I'm in front of the camera.
Usually my songs are introspective and because of the intimate nature, they are harder to express, so I try to let go instead and play something I wouldn't feel stupid playing in front of the camera, and put my perfectionism habits one the side for this one.
So this is what I came up with, in less that 10 minutes, and it hits better that stuff I spent weeks on. Go figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do you also feel like sometimes you're doing the efforts the wrong way ? Do you have a similar experience ?
