It's a cloudy, fall day. Great day to write a bluesy song. My inside is feeling it. I love blues music. I just feel there's so much emotion behind the music and lyrics. I also like the fact that, guitar-wise, it usually follows a 1-4-5 progression. Love that.
I'm not a fan of fall and winter. It's a sad season for many people because the days are shorter and there's less sunlight to take advantage of. I will freely admit that I suffer from occasional bouts of SAD, aka seasonal affective disorder. I usually treat it by spending time outdoors during the day and I also use a portable bright light that I place near my computer (yes, it's on right now). The only advantage to suffering from SAD is that it prompts me to write more songs. Sadness = songwriting. So there's a positive side to feeling this.
The sun will come out tomorrow...but for now the Bright Light sitting next to me will have to do.
