Sort of feeling that haunting me.

I’m a singer-songwriter but for years aren’t able to finish working on song. I have a feeling that I’m afraid people will perceived me crazy, and mentally disturbed. In real life, yes, I’m alone, and experiencing each life-suck kind of thing you can imagine. How can I get over with it so that I can capture a music moment peacefully and felt confidence to share with public?

Sometimes great art comes out of great personal pain. Write a song that people will relate to. You know how it feels… So you should express it. Do not be a perfectionist about it. Just do it. Once it is written, you will be able to fine tune it.

JeMulea and Anonymous are good advice and helpful for you, also why don’t you post it in youtube and see the results. That might boost your confidence.

Thanks for your time JeMulea and Anonymous and redeemmik. Singing in public is also a problem to me. Caused something like shivering. But at the moment, it’s about songwriting. I’ve been crazy doing it, scrap it, then doing it, over and over again. Not thinking of hits, but, i’m afraid of loosing people around. Even they are not close friend and just network friends. I did experience being left by friends in real life because of my past attitude which was caused by mentally disturbed broken love relationship. Kind of phobia.

Don’t be scared. Do it for yourself. Don’t do it with other people in mind… How they will react. That makes for dishonest art. It has to come from YOUR heart!!

Sometimes we have to let the past be bygone and look into the future. I live one day at a time and cherish every moment of it. A positive attitude is the best solution.

believe me it is beautiful as it is , don’t search about what people like … do what you feel
also you shouldn’t stop by this song and wait your entire life to finish it … if you can’t ad more … then it’s fine as it is … back at the college we were doing paintings , if the emotional charge is empty then we stop painting in this one and start another one
that is it ;)
