For you, my new album is something totally fresh, but for me, it's already pretty old. So I decided to start with a new song.
Whenever I start a new song, I'm still mentally trapped in the old songs and force myself to play notes, that are different from before, in order to break myself out of the old routine of the older songs. While I'm doing this, I'm constantly doubting whether these new notes are a creative enrichment or just shit notes. Then it gets late, I stop and go to sleep.
The next day is the decisive moment. It may be that I listen to the ideas from the day before and think to myself: "Oh shit, what crap did I compose yesterday!" or "Wow, that's a lot better than I thought, I have to keep working on it".
This happened to me this morning, and the second thought occurred to me. For now, it seems that Song 1 will be a good song.
