Topic: Empty Page

A little over a year ago I think Brian brought up the topic of writer's block. So I wrote a song called Empty page .  Well, the other day I re-wrote a bit of it, and had it recorded.

here it is on soundcloud.

Re: Empty Page

man i know this feeling too well. staring at that blank page is the worst part of songwriting for me. sometimes i just start strumming random chords until something clicks, and then the words kinda follow the mood. your line about the pen being heavier than the guitar really hit home — thats exactly what it feels like. have you tried just recording yourself jamming and going back to listen later? sometimes i catch little melodic ideas that way that i wouldve forgotten otherwise.
