Songbook

A collection of songs written in 2022 and 2023. The intent was to write without attaching any significance to the name that’s holding the pen; to break away from the compulsion to write smart, to write with acuity that desires a keen eye. I began putting words together and they turned into songs. The medium freed me from self-critical procrastination. Songs can be cliched, and repetitive, and simple. Songs can be clunky, gaudy and idiotic. There is no excuse for not jotting down a ditty. I was free when I was putting this together, I could feel, I could see, I could cry openly. It was fun.
