Topic: I Apologize For Nothing

I was in the mall this morning and heard a man and his wife arguing... and I heard him say " I apologize for nothing" !
Well by the time I got to my car the wheels in my head were already turning... i knew there had to be a song in there somewhere.

On the way home i used my phone to record some thoughts on what I thought was going on in their lives and also jotted down some partial  lines.  Worked on it most of the afternoon and finally came up with this version about midnight.

Thought it came out pretty well, but I am pretty biased smile

this is the song on sound cloud  https://soundcloud.com/james-kenyon-997 … or-nothing

cheers, Jim

Re: I Apologize For Nothing

Its  a  good  song  Jim.
Your  method  of  inspiration   reminds me  of  somthing  I  used  to   do  at  University  when I  was studying   writing  for  TV  and radio  especialy   if  I  was  looking  to  write  a  comedy  sketch  or  play . I would  go  and  sit   in a  cafe or a  bar and  try  and  tune  into  other  peoples  conversation  , Some   times    the  most  random lines    triggered an idea   for  somthing  . I  remember   two   drunks   discussing   music  and  getting  it  all  wrong ,and as a  budding  musician   I  found  it  very  amusing  and  it  gave  me  the  basis of   a sketch . A method  I  still  use  sometimes  today  if  I  get  the  old  writers  block . But  mostly  now   I  wake up  in the  night  with  an idea   and have  to  get  up  and write .

Re: I Apologize For Nothing

Thanks Graham, but wait !!!!!

You were a writer for comedy, as well as TV and Radio ?

Was that your main occupation through life ?

That is so cool -----  I'd love to hear more about it !

Thanks For sharing
