Songs in THE RAW!! Sept 20

OK...I'm stuck. I laid down the guitar part yesterday for this week's song and I have no idea where to go now. So, I've decided to write a bit about what I am thinking about and see if it leads me some where. Plus, the guitar part mutated as I recorded it and now I am in an entirely new vibe.

The idea that keeps floating around in my head is "Something to believe in". It started out as "Some one to believe in" but that might lead me to a political rant. I did that last week and don't want to get stuck in that rut. Also, the "Something to believe in" thing was done by Poison in the 80s and I can't help but go back to that image. So...where do I want to take this thing?

The second line that came out of my head was "Beside myself". What the hell is that? Of course, I believe in myself. It's the only way that I can continue to go through this songwriting exercise. Plus, in this world you really have to believe in yourself to follow your dreams. Lord knows, there are enough people along the way to try and talk you out of following your dreams. "Find a fall back plan....don't get your hopes up.....it's a tough business and very few people succeed....don't quit your day job....be realistic with your chances of success....it's just a hobby". The list goes on. Quite frankly, I'm too old to go back and try something else. I have too many tattoos to get a real job (which isn't that many) and I never liked that way I look in corporate casual, not to mention the word "slacks" (unless used as a verb).

OK, back to the business at hand. Here are some lines that might find their way into this week's song....unless it all changes tonight.
"If you're running on faith, run with your head out of you ass"
"Believe in some one, make sure they believe in you"
"Take a chance on love and love will take a chance on you"
"I find myself when I'm looking for something that I lost" - "You have to loose yourself to find yourself"
"Where would I be without loosing myself" - "Where would I be if I never lost myself"

I think there might be something in there somewhere. I like the last one the best and it might lend itself to the vibe of the song!

Now, let's see what pops out of my head tonight.
