Inspired
The usual thoughts that race around in my mind late at night actually managed to be something productive, as I’ve come up with a concept for a new visual short film.
I don’t want to give away too much.. but I will say that I’m going to take my time with it. It’s more difficult with film to get the ideas transpired from your head than it is with a photograph.
The key focus is to be sure you have a clear purpose behind what your film is, otherwise every other little detail gets lost in the midst.
I’ve come up with two songs so far that will be a part of the soundtrack.. which is honestly one of my favorite parts - I love music, and I love flowing it all together so that it tells a story.
I have not been this inspired in a year, I had no motivation.. I tried a couple times to be creative but I just decided that it would come back to me when the time was right.
Hurt | Johnny Cash
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
These past few days
All I’ve been doing is listening to music & watching films nonstop, which is what I used to do before everything crumbled.
It’s also been helping me take my mind away from the horrible withdrawal symptoms I’ve been experiencing since I stopped taking my Anti-Depressants.
Art has become my savior again.
Music is one of the only things in this world that has always been there for me.
It’s always been a loyal friend. It’s never left me.
I have developed a passion for making music mixes, though, this ceased for quite awhile due to all that has gone on.
It’s a lot of fun and a very emotional process, due to the fact you really have to immerse yourself in the music and how all the tracks flow together.
Basically telling a story through all the individual songs.
Anyway - hope you enjoy this mix.
There will be more to come.
