When I first saw the theme of Stolen Souls, I did my usual "what the hell am I going to do with that?" routine. Then 30 minutes later I somehow had two verses written down.
I had an idea for the song musically that I had found in the days since uploading my last song but couldn't make it fit. Were those verses or choruses I had written? Blocked, I was going to stop for the day in hopes of figuring something out tomorrow (Thursday), and as soon as I stepped away I heard the chorus in my head and that was it...
Sometimes it takes a while after a song is written for me to really get what it is about. This one I have a clear vision right way. I did write something about it, but instead of posting it I think it is better to let the listener take from it what they will.
Peace
Stolen Souls
Look at you now
Baby what have you done
Trying to sound
Like you and I are one
You bring me down
With every chord you strum
You'll never get it
Can't steal my soul
Cause I don't have it
I don't really know
Just how it happens
And the piece that shows
Is not what matters anyway
In the end we're all the same
You took my song
But that was all you got
You played me wrong
And made the music stop
You want it all
Here's something you forgot
You'll never get it
Chorus
Yeah! another great song man! love the drop tuned guitar with the melody , you've got some awesome writing skills. Thanks for sharing!

Hey thanks for checking me out...after I wrote this one I wondered if it was going to sound too pop or too dated. I appreciate the positive feedback.

Yeah this whole challenge sort of accelerates everything for me so that there isn't time to second guess; as soon as I have an idea I just go for it. When it's recorded I try to stop thinking about it because I will be way too self-critical and won't want to post it! Those four lines you wrote there...I was wondering if people were going to get my meaning or think i was just going for the rhyme. Thanks for the kind words.
I always enjoy your songs, whether solo or as part of the Steembirds

Thanks man, sorry about you losing your dog, I am still mourning my girl who left us two years ago...but congrats on the new pup! I have said before that it is hard to make another person happy due to the nature of the human psychology, but we absolutely have the power to give a dog a great life! Peace to you

Hey thanks...this whole challenge is reminding me of when I did astrology readings; I would show up thinking to myself "what the hell am I going to say to this person", and then something meaningful would happen for them. I think I will always start with " I got nothin' for this one", but somehow from the emptiness the miracle happens...peace
