I just want you to feel something.

Well, friends, tomorrow marks the beginning of 7in7, a week of songwriting for me and over 300 other folks. 7in7 is a songwriting exercise. Seven songs in seven days. Finish writing a brand new song everyday.

Now, the goal here is not to write bunch of great or even good songs. It's just to stretch the creative muscle and develop some discipline for writing everyday. It would be stupid to think that someone could just pump out seven incredible songs in seven consecutive days so I am not expecting a whole lot. Neither should you. Especially if you followed my progress last year. Hopefully, I can be graced with one or maybe two songs that don't completely shame my existence. One or two that I can share with someone down the road and it be mutually beneficial.

My plan for this week is to try to balance writing completely for/from myself and writing for the listener. What I write will absolutely be an overflow of my heart in some way but I am hoping to keep the listener in mind as well. My hope is that it would be real and relatable. I just want you to feel something. I want you to sing along.

I attempted this last year and posted almost every song (the 7th never found it's way to the internet) on this very blog and I plan to do the same starting tomorrow. Let's see what happens. If you follow the progress, let me know what you think.
