I realised it´s almost never too late to do my set. I get a nice response from people and, I dare to say, it´s even better during the small hours. I almost lost my chance to go out and play because I was a bit wrecked from a rainy moody day. It´s Spain, I know, but it rains and also people die too. We get sad and depressed at times. Sorry for being so blunt hahaha but I hate stereotipes.
Anyways, shit aside, I enjoyed playing and eventhough I had it going I almost passed on performing one of my original songs, maybe out lack of selfconfidence or, more certainly, I was worn out because it was at the end of my set. However, I remind myself everyday why I do what I do and self-expression came to mind. As not only artists but as people, I believe we need to express ourselves. It´s actually a cure for depression because one stops repressing whenever one expresses one self and it´s even better if there is an understanding on the receiving end and if there is a response from the receiver, even better!
I don´t get tired from saying that´s what saved my life. I am yearning to share my first original solo album with everybody. It was such an experience to make it and record it and I just can hope it gives something to people, on the receiving end. If it doesn´t, it doesn´t matter completely, as honestly, I had to do it anyways.
Today I remembered one of my deepest influences when making my original solo music. His name was John Martyn, an amazingly creative acoustic guitar player and heartfelt singer. In some ways when I started writing my own music I realised about our similarities.
When I write, I don´t think that much from where I get the inspiration from but rather expressing one self and enjoying the process, whatever it takes.
Anyways, have a good night and god bless you all (whatever that means)
P.S I hope you guys are taking something out of this that I share online
I leave one of John´s most influencial pieces at least to me
Small hours
Love and peace
