Chapter 2: Singing and Music from "An Artist's Thought Book"

                                                #42

I find that when I’m writing a song, there are often two songs that are competing to get out and one time.   One has to allow both to be born.

People have likened creativity to pregnancy throughout history.  I have found that, occasionally, in song writing there are twins!   The artist becomes confused since one is imagining that there is only a single child coming. The melody or lyrical content wants to separate itself into two different directions, and if we are able to be patient with what is emerging, it is possible that we can allow these fraternal twins to come out and be different souls.
