I've been really motivated to get down into the studio & record for the past week or so. It's great while it lasts, but motivation to do this (or running, or anything else) is a bit confounding in general. Is it just a feeling of "OK, I've had enough of this lollygagging" or what?
Anyway, I've been down there, and I am currently well on my way for the 4th song from the upcoming "The Secret of HIM."
song #1: 100% done, except for final mix
song #2: 95% done
song #3: 80% done. Possibly more done, but I have some hard decisions & possible re-work on some vocals
song #4: 50% done. Everything except some original drum pattern programming has been done in the past three days, so I'm cutting a pretty good pace.
So far, so good. I'm really excited about the direction of the new album. I promise the "most Dan-like" collection of music you will have ever heard. Rock, and maybe a little "poppier" & catchier than Camden Garden. Explore as I might & be inspired by different genres as I might be, rock is really rooted deep in my soul. When I write songs, they simply go in the direction of progressive/alternative rock, and I'm not sure I'll ever do much sustained work (original, anyway) in another style of music. Hopefully, though, the influences of these other styles are in there and will shine through in their own way.

I find that my motivation runs in wild swings of extremely to not at all.
Change in season isn't helping, making it harder to work on house projects in the dark.
Good luck with your current spark.
Glad to see that you are finding inspired moments to be creative. I am in a severe slump. Keep it going.
Damn. Listening last night, there's a bass note which really, really doesn't work. If I can get just the right level going again, maybe I can "punch in" and play just the sequence of notes I need. But that's really tough to get sounding just right.
Oh well-I'm pretty good on the bass. If I need to play it again, I'll play it again.
