I had a diary full of lyrics and whatnot and a little voice recorder of guitar riffs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The way I look at it, they're all part of my musical diary, and I can listen to any one of them and it will bring up memories of what was going on at that time.
I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.
I have kept a diary as long as I can remember, and drawings are really another kind of diary.
I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.
When I was young, I kept a diary for about 10 years and I had to write in it every day. Even on days when nothing seemed to happen, I made myself think of something to put in it.
My stuff was more of a folk coffeehouse thing, with more acoustic guitar, just me doing a single, and then adding on instruments and voices, with emphasis on lyrics and singing and light kind of acoustic jazz.
I never kept a diary, but I wrote detailed notes of my travels.
I wanted to hear the songs in the way that I had written them, which was very basic. All I wanted was drums and another guitar, and I was just going to sing.
The notes I have made are not a diary in the ordinary sense, but partly lengthy records of my spiritual experiences, and partly poems in prose.
I've never been one for keeping a journal, so my songs were my journals. They allowed me to express my feelings and let people know what was going on with me. I knew that somebody would relate.
