Progress on Sail On
Oh my, I surprised myself. I got a lot done on "Sail On"! Two full verses plus... this is big. Also, I realized while listening to Kate Rusby's "Who Will Sing Me Lullabies" that... it doesn't have to have a chorus! The formulaic Nashville song type is absolutely overdone and does not necessarily a good song make. "Sail On" has a beautiful, memorable hook and if I can get through the emotions to finish this in the next few days that would be the boost I really need: I'll have started, and finished, a single song within a week. That would be a big accomplishment. I have been too long out of practice; my songwriting muscles need stretching! Writing what I did tonight didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. God is great.
