For me, yeah, I always have periods where I rinse a song for bout a month.
.... Yeh whuss wrong wit dat?
Shut up.
Chief.
Nah seriously, there are times where the song would become rinsed to the point where it becomes part of a memorable "minute" o my life. Dat "Songmery" is brought on the brain, with jus a few bars of a track, like, years later.
- Outkast - Prototype: prom night, year 11/urban music sommer school '05 (2005)
- Shanks and Bigfoot - Sweet Like Chocolate: Year 6 school trip (2000)
- Musiq - justfriends: CYM music school bussin jokes to lessons (2004)
..... the list could go on .....
This summer was the year of music makin galore ('Cisive, Botanical heads Szjerdene, Duke). And of course Mangrove Steel Band played a big role in my summer.
This year? will.i.am - One More Chance (2008) from the album Songs About Girls" (which I think is a big album - "ain't it pretty" - big chune).
Why? I dunno. Coz I guess it represented the whole "feel good" atmosphere I seemed to constantly be around durin summer. If not at the studio wit 'Cise, or TE1, then at band practise. If not there, then jammin @ the Botanical Gardens ('tube it). Or wit work mates, or jus ravin with loved ones.
And also coz I made more music then - as if perfection was just ignored, and I jus recorded what was in my head at the time. And writer's block is a bitch too ("makin good music" - Incisive' blog) so when this random spurt of music comes it feels good.
Obviously there r bad ones too, but this was the one I jus remembered. Thought 'twas good to share.
Ur turn. What Songmeries or Musictures have u lot got?
